drones over the leningrad and bryansk regions. we will talk soon on our broadcast about the legion of freedom of russia rdc and the siberian battalion, which according to reports in telegram channels. entered the kursk and belgorod regions of russia. meanwhile, regarding the situation at the border, the government of poland and the polish police deny cases of blocking buses near the border, information that polish protesters and the police are blocking ukrainian passenger buses at the border. previously, the minister of infrastructure of ukraine oleksandr kurbakov published on the x network, which is the former twitter. after this statement of the minister, the general the consulate of ukraine in lublin appealed. with a letter to the police commandant of the lublin voivodeship with a request to ensure the unimpeded movement of buses across the ukrainian-polish border. the ukrainian consul in lublin went to the dorohusky yagodin checkpoint, although the ukrainian minister did not specify at which checkpoint the buses were blocked. while the consul was at

the protest site, the regular passenger bus crossed the border in the direction of ukraine without any obstacles. ukrainian border guards also reported that they do not record problems with passing pa'. who transport directly across the border with poland. what is the current situation there? we will ask andrii demchenko, the spokesman of the state border service of ukraine. congratulations, mr. andriy, on our broadcast. thank you for joining. good morning. tell us what the current situation is on the polish-ukrainian border, have the facts of the blocking of passenger buses been confirmed? well, actually, from the polish border guards, we did not receive an official message or... informational confirmation that polish farmers are blocking the movement of others categories of transport, in addition to trucks, well, this also applies to buses, at our checkpoints,

including in the direction of the jagodyn checkpoint, where it seems that traffic is being blocked from that side, as information spread in... in social networks, polish farmers for buses, i can say that at the ukrainian checkpoints the buses are from the territory of poland, and those buses that go through registration at our checkpoints, in the future follow in the direction of poland and the polish side accepts them, i.e. movement across the border is taking place directly, but it is accurate to say what is happening on the territory of poland at a certain distance from the border, where are... the protesters, well, it is quite difficult to say, but their stay on the highways that lead to the border, which can be followed from the border , of course, which can sometimes make traffic difficult for both buses

and cars, wants, i hope, polish farmers do not block traffic, but their presence on the roads once again can sometimes lead to the fact that a... other categories transport, in addition to trucks , also has to face some difficulties, that is, mr. andriy, you say that this is not a mass phenomenon, but such similar cases, when this could happen, do take place because of traffic problems, in fact, because of these protests, well, this can be concluded even from the video that spread on social networks, and we must remember... that for example, on february 20, when polish farmers scaled up their actions to block the border, then in three directions, and this there were directions crossing points of ravarusk, ustilukh and ughryny, they generally stopped allowing all categories of transport for a certain time, both

trucks and cars, as well as buses, it lasted there for 4-5 hours, and later they stopped such actions in relation to passenger cars and buses, and again, their presence on highways through which vehicles should move freely, of course, which can lead to the fact that traffic can be complicated to a certain extent, wants and again i note that there is no official information that traffic for cars and buses is being blocked by polish protesters, and at our checkpoints we see that these categories of transport. that is, they freely cross, if we speak directly, the border line in both directions. thank you, mr. andrii, for connecting and telling us what the situation is at the moment on the polish-ukrainian border. andrii demchenko, spokesman of the state border service of ukraine, was a guest of svoboda ranok.

legion of freedom of russia, russian volunteer corps and the siberian battalion fighting on the side of ukraine entered the territory of the kursk and belgorod regions of russia. this is reported by the politician. former deputy of the state duma of russia ilya ponomaryev. according to him , the border village of lozova rudka of the belgorod region is completely under the control of these forces. and in the village of tetkino of the kursk region , the shooting continues. a video of ukrainian tanks allegedly driving through the village of horkovskyi in the belgorod region telegram channel astra writes that there is no electricity in the village and interruptions with connection the russian military publication vargonzo reports that the rdk and the siberian battalion , allegedly under the leadership of gur , broke into a vine grove from a single farm in the kharkiv region at about three in the morning, but were allegedly repulsed by the russians. border guards, he also claims, confirms the attempt to break into the territory of the kurdish region. meanwhile

, the telegram channel of the legion of freedom of russia published a video of unknown tanks driving off-road at night, signing the post with the words "tanks are not afraid of dirt, crossed the rubicon, crossed the border". also representatives of the legion declare that they are going to the russian elections, where these videos were shot, we cannot quickly confirm in... war, but let's see what is there. our will is not to recognize a bloody dictator, our will is not to recognize a bloody dictator as the president of russia. we will do everything so that he has time to move to the polar wolf again. we know how the locals are treated there. the legion goes to the polls. wait for us honor. the authorities of the belgorod and kursk regions report only about... drone and artillery attacks, the russian ministry of defense about the breakthrough of russian volunteers also

does not mean anything, i would like to remind you that this morning it became known that these russian soldiers, who are fighting on the side of ukraine, have crossed into the territory of two russian regions, and andriy yusov, a representative, is now joining our broadcast the main intelligence department of the ministry of defense of ukraine , we will ask him about what is happening and what is currently known to ukrainian intelligence, i encourage you, dear viewers, to write your comments, your questions, your observations, maybe you have some information, this is also it will be interesting for us to read it, i will remind you that this is the news of this morning, and now on this broadcast we will understand, and understand the official statements and the purpose, mr. andriy, as far as i understand, it already exists and he already hears it, so i will ask the first question. and the picture will appear later, mr. andriy, i welcome you to our broadcast, tell us what ukrainian intelligence knows now, what is happening

on the ukraine-russian border, did the rdk, the siberian battalion, the legion of freedom of russia really cross the russian border, what is the situation there? good morning, congratulations, mr. andriy, i will remind our viewers that andriy yusov joined our broadcast, tell us what ukrainian intelligence knows about what is happening in the ukrainian-russian relationship. the borders of the republic of moldova, the siberian battalion and the legion of freedom crossed the border and are now in russia? we are talking about citizens of the russian federation, and so the divisions and structures of the russian freedom legion, the russian volunteer corps and the siberian battalion are structures that operate autonomously and independently on the territory of the russian federation, fulfilling their socio-political and program tasks. after all, they are at home, this is not the first operation of these... divisions on the territory of the so -called russian federation, and so now we can probably talk

about joint operations of these structures, in particular on the territory of kurshchyna and belgorod region. and what is the purpose of this move to the territory of russia, and what is known about the situation now, are there battles, are they entrenched there, what is happening? well, with regard to the goal, actually all these units and structures conduct such an active. activity, and we are already hearing statements from them, and there will be more relevant statements, i think that they independently communicate and comment in a way, now it is really known about the fierce fighting, about the retreat in certain areas of the occupying army, the putin regime, and the actual situation is unfolding, and with which of the ukrainian security agencies, there rdk, svoboda? russia, the siberian battalion coordinate their actions, either directly with the armed forces of ukraine, or with gur, how does this happen? well, i can

repeat here, what is happening on the territory of ukraine, yes, of course, everything is coordinated, and they are acting as part of the security and defense forces, helping to liberate ukraine from russian tinkerers, but they are citizens of era, and at home they have the right to do what they think is necessary, in this situation to defend their civil political rights and liberate their country. from the russian putin dictatorship. mr. andrii, do you know where the weapons come from, for example, in these, again, the freedom of russia rdk and the siberian battalion, with which they enter the territory of russia and... find? there has been a full-scale war on the territory of ukraine for more than 2 years, and we are talking , in particular, about trophy weapons, about a trophy and a trophy, yes, if we are talking about actions in glass as part of the ukrainian security and defense forces, of course ukrainian weapons, of ukrainian production, there

are no secrets here. and what about the borders, why are russian forces not guarding, or are they guarding this one from a distance. border, why is it not the first time these battalions manage to cross the border? well, it's probably a question not only of how they guard, but of how the relevant units plan their operations, and in such conditions they succeed, despite the fact that the enemy tries, of course, and reports that everything is protected and everything is under control, they manage to return to their homes and carry out their tasks again and again. is it related to the russian presidential election, which will be next weekend? i do not know about the elections of the president of russia in this territory , some other process is taking place there, whether it is putin’s election or an election simulation, of course no elections are taking place in those territories, but it is clear that the rdk and the legion of freedom of russia,

sibat, in addition to the fact that this military subdivisions, these are people with an active civil political... position, who are deprived of any methods of parliamentary struggle at home, since the majority of representatives of the russian parliamentary position have either already been physically destroyed, like nimtsov and navalny, or are behind bars or in exile , well , these are the methods of armed struggle putin left for his own active citizens, does anyone know anything about the attack of drones on the territory of russia and burning oil tanks, what? is this known and who launched these drones? so it is known about the gurkha wool and other incidents at a number of military facilities that are used by the enemy for military purposes, in particular to support the occupying rashist group in ukraine, and all that is used for military purposes, one way or another such incidents happen to them ,

we traditionally cannot comment on who and what caused the damage. but this work will be continued, mr. andriy, we also remember the other day that western intelligence announced terrorist attacks in russia in the coming days, do you know anything about it, or what does the russian side know about it in general, maybe something from western partners, you know more than it is in the media, well , of course, ukraine conducts an active exchange of information and the warnings of our partners have a basis in front of them, because the russian special services... putin's regime has a lot of experience in conducting provocations of various kinds within the russian federation itself, including victims among the civilian population, so such warnings are quite logical. thank you, mr. andriy, for joining the svoboda ranok broadcast, andriy yusuf, representative of the main administration intelligence of the ministry of defense, and we talked about drone attacks on the territory of russia, and the event of

the rfk freedom of russia and the siberian battalion in the russian region. thank you, let's continue to talk about this topic, i see that there are a lot of comments, you can write your questions to the guests of our broadcast , ivan stupak, military expert, former sbu employee, mr. ivan, welcome to our broadcast , thank you for joining, congrats, congrats studio, thank you so much for inviting me, it's like deja vu this morning, probably you also felt, and how is this visit to the territory of russia by the legion of freedom of russia and others different from. previous, is there any difference? listen, well, there was such a cool video frame, it seems that the russians filmed it again from a private house and there they saw a moving tank, on it, guess what, the flag of the european union, well , maybe this is the first thing that is different, but actually there was a long pause, a long preparation, because such things are not done just like that, you need

to prepare in advance, people, equipment, as mr. yusif said, there is a lot of... trophy weapons, they picked something up, our soldiers joke, they say that if you enter to beat russians on the territory of ukraine, then they are citizens of ukraine, and if you enter the territory of the russian federation, that is, with weapons, then only with a passport a citizen of the russian federation, that is, such jokes are already happening. in fact, this is one more time, this is such a subversive act, a subversive action, come in, we don't know how much. deep, how long, maybe it will be limited to a couple, two, three, four hours, maybe until the evening, oh, by the way, this is the video i was talking about with the flag of the european union, maybe everything will end in the evening, and maybe it will continue for a couple of days, of course, now the entire russian machine is punitive, it will direct all its efforts, all its resources to stop

this promotion , and it will involve both the russian guard and the russian air force, as well as the special services, these are the anti-terrorist units alpha, vimpil, fesshni, that is, now they will try to eliminate this advance in an emergency mode, mr. ivan, i will note that here the flag of the european union or no no... it’s clear to everyone, there are also guesses that this could be the flag of the rdk, because it is also blue with a white circle, that is, this is the question, but so the first reaction of many was exactly this and the association, after all, what is the purpose of this event, how many of these forces are there in the rdk, in the legion of freedom of russia, in the siberian battalion and what are these forces capable of on the territory of russia, come on, they are not many, we perfectly understand, we give perfectly well. let's face it, we're not talking about tens of thousands, maybe we're talking about several hundreds, maybe, well one thousand and two, this is my guess, once again this is my personal estimate, that is, once again it is not a big

one, some kind of military formation , a lot of tanks went in, it is something small, but an extremely motivated unit, really motivated without exaggeration, they perfectly understand what they are doing they leave, they understand that it can be a one-way trip, because there they are waiting for death or capture and with the most terrible torture that can only be imagined, because the russian coral machine does not forgive such things. what is a purpose? this is a distraction, a distraction for the russian military, of the russian military command , from what is happening on the fronts, the transfer of part of the resources, the creation of tension, and indeed the attempt to set fire to society from the inside, but here it is such a difficult story, because it is difficult to set fire to something that has not been set on fire for as many as 20 years, almost 25. therefore, i think it is more of a diversion to divert attention, well , to destroy a certain number of russian military formations, fsb, border, well, they are one

and the same, russian guards and so on. is all this somehow related to the current elections weekend will take place in russia? most likely yes, i think it is connected, and here you know, you can say that a civil war is better than falsified elections, that is, well, here they are trying to fix it. and you know, in the comments. under eli ponamarov's post, there were such appeals, and why not to moscow , and when to moscow, well, in general, if we talk about power and about such comments, well, this is generally an unrealistic story, and can such a thing appear in modern russia a new beauty with a similar new hike on brain, look, everything is possible in theory, we don’t say and no, well, what are you saying, how is it unreal, everything is real, everything is real, but the probability of implementation there, well... different, well, let’s face it, why in prigozhin was such a success almost a year ago , well, a little bit less, because he was trusted, no one knew, well , it was part of the military formation

of the russian federation, they left the territory of ukraine, entered rostov and left, and no one knew how to react, that is, he was not openly hostile, so he had his opinion, but he fought for russia, and he went to moscow and did not know how to react, they were waiting for commands, here for the russian military command, for the political leadership. of course, these are enemies , they must be destroyed, and there will be no such slippage, such inhibition in decision-making, you are asking if it is possible to somehow ignite the society there and move on to moscow, well, the people in these territories should, for example, once again theoretically, hypothetically , rdk and the russian legion of freedom enter this town, the village of shibykina, and people there, for example, come out and say, yes, we too, i'm sorry, we've had enough of whoever sits in the kremlin, give us a machine gun, we're ready to go with you, give us this blue tape, that's it, we 're starting to form our citizen militia, a militia, and every new village

will join under this scenario, it is indeed possible, how can one characterize who can give or similar tasks, or with whom these battalions, this legion can coordinate their tasks, mr. andriy yusov did not answer this and said that they, as citizens of russia, can do this and, but anyway... anyway, this is the ukrainian-russian border, they are crossing it, surely the ukrainian side should also understand who is doing this, what they are doing, who gives these tasks, who invents them and to whom these russian citizens report in ukrainian troops , yes, i understood the question, i can explain why pandrisov is so dismissive of the question, because he is an official official, and he is a professional official, an official, and he does not say such things out of hand. i can express my opinion, personally, mine, privately, not being connected to anything , look, they are not these units, they do not function independently, they are not there, i don't

know if it is appropriate to call it makhnovshchyna, here is something independently, there are some weapons in them, some tanks , some people, well, of course, the ukrainian military team, he perfectly understands who is there, before entering the territory of ukraine, these russian citizens are checked by special services for involvement in the activities of the fsb, the russian service , the foreign intelligence service, military intelligence, in order to exclude these are sabotage actions, and then only they are allowed to be on the territory of ukraine, indeed they are all under control. they cannot do anything on their own, all their actions are coordinated, i cannot say, specifically this operation, whether they received the green light from the ukrainian command, or it was a story there, for example, here these military have planned something, they tell the ukrainian command, we here we want to do, and our command, well, who are we to forbid you, well, do what you know, there could really be such a reaction, are these military tasks or of a political nature, military tasks, well

, come on, military ones, since they really are. you see, they used military equipment , heavy equipment, small arms, and fuel is going after them, cars with ammunition are going after them, because we don't know how long it will last, maybe everything will end before lunch, maybe it won't end very successfully, they may die, may be captured, and perhaps they will hold out for a day, two or three, distract the attention of the russian military command, return back, as last time, remember, fsb equipment was stolen, armored personnel carriers, it seems, were looted in a normal way. i mean, the civilian population was not touched. thank you, mr. ivan, for joining. yes, as of this morning, we will follow this information. ivan stupak, a military expert and former sbu employee, was a guest of svoboda ranok. we follow the events in russia with the actions that we discussed, you can also write your questions in the comments, the information that you learn during this broadcast, then we will talk about an important topic, because it has become

it is known that... the country officially begins negotiations on the restoration of air traffic with european and american market regulators, the country's infrastructure minister oleksandr kurbakov said in an interview with rybak ukraine. and now the ukrainian side is already conveying its vision to the regulators, but how will the market work in the conditions of martial law, and what are the risks? according to the minister, at least three ukrainian companies are interested in restoring canvases to ukraine, there is an application from european companies that want to be the first. kurbakov in particular confirms that the carrier rainair has already submitted dozens of applications. kurbakov added that there are different scenarios regarding the number of airports that can be opened in ukraine, and their number will also depend on this. however , he did not name the date of the probable opening. ukraine is advised on security issues by the civil aviation administration of israel, where former military personnel work in particular. in general, talks about the restoration of ukrainian air traffic began as early as 2023. this year

at the unofficial level, even at the level of rumors, airports that were called potential candidates for opening in lviv and uzhhorod. let's talk about the prospects in this matter further. volodymyr kraydenko, people's deputy of ukraine, deputy chairman of the parliamentary committee on transport and infrastructure, servant of the people joined our broadcast. i congratulate you. thank you for joining. good morning. minister kurbakov says that ukraine has started negotiations on resuming air traffic. what does it mean? in practice and what the duration of these negotiations might be and what official kyiv could do propose: opening of airports in uzhgorod and lviv? you know, this is an issue now, it's being discussed a lot, but we really haven't seen as parliamentarians any document or any paper that proposes or opens these negotiations with our western partners, with our american

friends, for... it's very strange how for the parliamentarians, a statement on the opening of air traffic, because it looks like a lottery, because security can be won and you can lose, there is a high chance of losing this lottery, because it is people's lives, and now in a time of war, when it is very difficult to provide air defense means is not enough, and we need these air defenses, and to talk about the fact that we... can ensure the safety of canvases, well , for me, as a people's deputy from the specialized committee, it is very strange, i would like to see this strategy, i would like to see, i don't know, the methodology and recommendations of the israeli side, how they see the provision of this security, how they see the insurance of passengers, who will take and sign the papers from the ukrainian side, which will be...
