there is accommodation, where they offer hostels, where they offer hotels, so we will resettle people further, how can we inform? and about the evacuation, because as it was reported earlier that there are settlements, there are villages where there is no connection, and that's how you keep in touch, here is the information that there is an evacuation bus every day at 10 o'clock, for example, how do people find out about this , we still had a working notification system in peacetime, well, in delivering news to population through social networks, precisely through... the facebook network, now that we don't have, well, unstable internet and unstable telephone connection, we are helped by the state emergency service, and again, civil cooperation departments, they notify

people, and they and help in transporting people from the territory, which is right on the contact line, we heard in the media, we read stories from those who managed to get out of the settlements there.' some, that when there is no communication and there is no way to get there , people save themselves, they literally walk through the fields there and talk about blown up bridges, can you tell us about this situation, yes, in the territory where active hostilities are taking place, armed the forces do not let civilians in, they help when there is an opportunity to evacuate the residents of those villages that were... beaten into the area of ​​operations of the militants, those who could not and have the opportunity physical, he goes out on field roads himself, or gets out in a motor vehicle when the shelling subsides. thank you, mrs. lyudmyla, for joining our broadcast, keep it up, the head of the velikopyseriv community, lyudmila

biryukova, was a guest of freedom mornings, who spoke about the situation in the community. write in the comments, and from where you watch this broadcast, if you are from sumy oblast, now tell us about the situation there, because we understand that over the last week, the situation with shelling there has not changed for the better, there is a lot of shelling, and as we can see, evacuation continues, so further on the air we will talk about the situation in sumy oblast, kateryna andriyeva, a volunteer from the border region of sumy oblast joined our broadcast, from the charity fund european aid fund, kateryna, congratulations, thank you for joining, i congratulate everyone, my dear... audience, it is very nice to meet you, but it is very unfortunate that under such circumstances. yes, it is, it is true, tell me the details, what is the situation, tell me about the evacuation, how many people leave per day, and how does this process take place? look, i can tell you and give you information very much

briefly, because the evacuation of people is handled by the authorities, and just now you had a dialogue with the head of the community, my mission now is to evacuate animals that are under... simply under fire every day, a very critical situation is that the animals are tied up, a lot of tied up and abandoned animals, because people were not with them when they evacuated. from fear, from panic, it is possible to simply take the animals, but there is another side of this situation, it is that not everyone wants to evacuate, leaving the animals behind. now we are deciding the possibility of taking buses for cattle, so that we can take people with horses, with cows, with pigs, with dogs, with cats. now we are buying more cages and will leave in an hour to evacuate the animals. yesterday a lot of people called me, i made an announcement on the social network that we

can take out dogs, cats, but in the event that the owners can take these animals back, that is, we are going under fire, now it is raining heavily, but we we will try as much as possible to save the animals that currently remain in the cold and in hunger this community. katerina, that is, you are talking about two'. one story is that people do not have time to let go of their animals, which they do not have the opportunity to take away, so that they are at least not chained, on the other hand there are people who simply do not want to leave without this farm of theirs and without these of theirs animals, and i thank you for joining in and sharing this information, good luck, keep it up, and indeed, as you noted, unfortunately we meet under such circumstances, but i thank you for informing and sharing as well so important information, kateryna andriv... a volunteer from the border region of sumy oblast from the charity fund european relief fund told about

the evacuation of animals. i encourage all our viewers to subscribe to the radio liberty channel, be sure to like this video, so it will spread better on the network, and you can also share it in links, in personal correspondence with your friends and colleagues, this is important for spreading this information but the armed forces of ukraine are looking for... asymmetric solutions in order to gain an advantage over the troops of the russian federation, which prevail quantitatively. such a message appeared in the telegram channel of the commander-in-chief of the armed forces of ukraine oleksandr syrskyi. according to him, the armed forces must be equipped with the most effective and newest weapons, and technologies and technological capabilities are the key to ukraine's superiority over the enemy, as golovkom says. we are looking for asymmetric solutions in order to gain a qualitative advantage over a numerically superior opponent. we approach comprehensively. to planning our needs, first of all, taking into account current experience with battlefield

unmanned systems occupy a prominent place here, so the development and application of unmanned systems is my priority. europe will begin to produce enough ammunition to meet the needs of the armed forces. this was announced by the president of the czech republic, peter pavel. although the increase in ammunition production in europe takes some time. he said this while answering a question from a radio liberty journalist. pavel added that his country is trying to deliver shells to ukraine. as quickly as possible and find ammunition in third countries. it takes time to produce the required amount of shells in europe, it requires an increase in our production capacity, but ukraine needs shells now, we cannot wait for european companies, so we are trying to find ammunition wherever we can, deliver it to ukraine as quickly as possible , but at the same time we are increasing our own capacities. a month ago at the munich security conference. czech president peter pavel initiated the collection of 800,000 projectiles for the needs of ukraine, what exactly are the projectiles and where are they purchased

officially in the czech republic they do not say, but the wall street journal, with reference to czech officials, writes that the suppliers of the projectiles include countries allied to russia. czech president peter pavel says that the shells will be delivered to ukraine in the coming weeks. and fifty countries of the world today will think again today, how to support ukraine with weapons?

hello, this is svoboda ranok, an informational project of radio svoboda. top guests every day. this is the shipping district, kherson. turn on live. we are somewhere in the vicinity of bakhmut.

we tell the main thing. weekdays at 9:00.

later in our broadcast, we will talk in detail about the strikes on russian oil depots and the means for this, what damage it causes to moscow and what to expect next, and for now we will talk about the explosions in crimea occupied by russia. late in the evening, local publics, in particular, the sevastopol state of emergency. they wrote about several powerful explosions that could be heard on the territory of the peninsula. the ukrainian newspaper crimean veter also writes about the explosions in crimea and reports that the kerch bridge has been blocked. the russian ministry of defense reported the attack drone to crimea. the russian agency reports on the destruction of the drone over the peninsula. the ukrainian general staff or intelligence services have not yet commented on this information.

this year marks the 10th anniversary of the occupation of crimea by an aggressor country. this day is celebrated. the day before , a rally and concert was held on red square in moscow with the participation of putin himself. during the speech, he talked about an alternative railway route bypassing the kerch bridge from russian rostov to the occupied crimean peninsula through the occupied territories of donetsk and zaporizhia regions and he added that part of such a route has already started working. i was told that the railway has been restored from rostov to donetsk, to mariupol and to... we will continue this work and soon trains will go directly to sevastopol, and this will be another alternative road for the crimean bridge. the day before, the adviser to the mayor of mariupol, petro andryushchenko, published a video on his telegram channel, which shows railway and construction equipment. he noted that shooting this video north of mariupol, not far from the occupied volnovakha,

and says that at the beginning of march there was no such active construction in this area as it is now. according to andryushchenko, if the russian forces do finish the construction of the railway, it will reduce the military logistics of the russian army by almost three times, compared to the current route through the kerch bridge. vladyslav seleznyov, a military commentator, joins our broadcast. vladyslav, welcome to our broadcast, thank you for joining. ms. kateryna, good morning and glory to ukraine. glory to heroes. in your opinion, why is russia an alternative? kerch bridge? are the children sitting in the russian general staff fooling around? no, they are absolutely rational, they absolutely clearly assess that behind the rather alarming statements of the top military and political leadership of our ukraine, there are serious factors that add confidence that this year, with a high degree of probability, the structure of the kerch bridge will be destroyed, and therefore it cannot be used for

logistic transportation. you and i understand very well that part of railway transportation is of military importance. is carried out with the help of the kerch bridge, a complete ferry crossing cannot satisfy the rather powerful demand from the russian occupation contingent operating in the temporarily occupied crimea and sevastopol. and therefore putin's army physically needs another alternative route, the railway rally route being built along the northern coast of the sea of ​​azov is an excellent alternative, because even our long-range artillery systems are not capable. its systematic and methodical, by the way, pay attention to why the enemy is trying so hard to push ukrainian soldiers out of the populated puntudar, it is still forever and it is unlikely that it will be possible to restore, rebuild there in some medium-term perspective, because the destruction there is too serious, but nevertheless the enemy is stubbornly trying to push our soldiers out of this

populated point. the answer to this question is obvious, because the distance from our warehouses, which are located not far from the volnavakha railway station, is such that we can systematically and methodically turn all the railway wheels and the railway hub itself into a pile of scrap metal. having the appropriate resources for that, and therefore it is important to push the enemy far and wide. west or even north-northwest of the coalfield, our forces and means close our artillery in order to create a new branch in the railway connection to have safe opportunities for the transportation of goods of military importance, and therefore i think that in the near future we will still see a lot of fierce combat skirmishes on this part of the front. and if we talk about the active kerch bridge and the same railway section, this route, is it possible? he be like that an additional part for supply, and perhaps the most operational, fast, in case russia manages to complete it there and use this railway? we

must understand that the russians have a lot of resources for the operational construction of railway connections, accordingly, military units of a specialized purpose are actively engaged in this very issue, and i think that the russian railways is also actively involved in that process, so we must understand that the enemy is not about... just in such a hurry, because the key mission, which in in principle relies on the entire network of railway connections on the territory of the russian federation, this is logistical support, and therefore the enemy is looking for any opportunities, including alternative ones, in order to be able to constantly, in full, and on time carry out exactly military transportation, and vladyslav, and you they said about damage, but if we talk about damage, for example, by long-range missiles, can... and how can the armed forces of ukraine damage this alternative road, this railway road, in the event that it really works there at full capacity

own and will help the russian forces in this way? of course, we must understand that to a certain extent our capabilities for high-precision missile damage to enemy targets are limited to a certain extent, because the delivery of missiles and missile systems is very difficult, our western... but later in a few days, weeks, months, and this is of course very a serious challenge, because there are a lot of targets on the territory, in particular, currently occupied by the enemy, in order to destroy them with maximum efficiency, and for this we need missiles, atacoms, stormshed, the same tauruses, but we see that with the supply of these missiles in the volumes that... in fact, the ukrainian army is needed, our business is not as rosy as we would like, and therefore we need to look for other options and ways. of course, even an army

of strike drones cannot regenerate such structures made of iron and concrete, like railway bridges or some aqueducts. of course, we need very serious resources to systematically and methodically work virtually 24/7 to destroy the same. railway track and elements of railway communication. if let's talk about the crimean bridge, there we also need a lot of these long-range weapons, these long-range missiles, dozens. yes, and here i have to mention again the american general ben hodges, the former commander of the us forces in europe. he is confident that this mission can be accomplished through a combined missile and drone attack. to implement the missile components of this attack, the ukrainian army needs several dozen. like the taurus type, they have a concrete battle part, and therefore are able to break the very foundation of the same kerch structure, are needed by the attacks in order to destroy the railway and

road surface of the same kerch bridge, well, of course, drones can also join this very important mission, destroying the very foundations of the same kerch bridge, so that the restoration of work is so protracted , which lost the very meaning of the event. of the restored works themselves, vladyslav, i want to ask you also about the situation in crimea, for eight years, we understand, you and the experts, the military, and others talk about the fact that russia was preparing in crimea and increased its military capabilities there, over the past two years, the military power of the russian army on the peninsula, has it strengthened or is it the other way around? well, first of all, i have to remind our audience that today is exactly 10 years since the storming of the military headquarters. of the naval forces, then the then commander of the naval forces, admiral hajduk, then actually organized the resistance of the ukrainian forces on

the territory of crimea, was captured. the island of tavastopol ceased, it received a certain such segmented process, and therefore we have about it remember to remember that, understanding that thesis , everything started with crimea and this war must end in crimea, work for this victory. as for the military component of the russian occupiers in crimea and sevastopol, now the temporarily occupied peninsula is a kind of logistics base - hap, repair and restoration of equipment, training of personnel, treatment and rehabilitation of wounded personnel, carrying out certain activities, in particular from aviation and missile and drone support for the actions of the russian occupiers. de facto crimea now transformed into a solid military base, but now the troops stationed there are constantly in a state of flux, i.e. , certain parts of the expedition go out for recovery and replenishment, some go to battle on the line of combat, i.e. the situation is quite dynamic, but again, crimea is not

can be considered neither... a safe territory, nor even a front-line territory. crimea is a battle line, and time after time our drone operators, missile systems, our pilots, as well as our werewolves every time prove that crimea is ukraine, that crimea is the front line, and therefore the fighting on the territory of crimea will continue, because crimea is ukrainian land. thanks vladyslav for joining. vladyslav selezn, a military spectator, was a guest of svoboda ranok. watch us on youtube. on the radio svoboda channel, as well as on the air of the espresso tv channel, ask your questions to the speakers of this stream in the comments and, of course, discuss what you heard on this air. on the territory of russia, ukraine can release from 30 to 60 long-range drones every night, and this is a big problem for the kremlin. this is according to the military analyst of the german publication bild, julian röbken. he calculated

that since the beginning of this year, drones have bombed 12 oil refineries on the territory of russia, the same number was announced by sbu sources to ukrainian pravda, the public and the reuters agency. the maximum distance from the ukrainian border to the places of arrival was 900 km. among such refineries are, for example, plants in st. petersburg, volgograd, vryazan, kaluga and several plants in the krasnodar region. attacks on factories started back in january of this year. the attack on the oil refinery became known first. ftoapse plant. two days ago it became known about the attack on the slavyansky plant in the same krasnodar region. in general, as nalita kryopka notes, about 12% of russian oil refining facilities were hit. so, fearing a shortage of gasoline on the domestic market, the russian authorities introduced a six-month ban on its export. meanwhile , bloomberg, referring to the international energy group gunvor, notes that the strikes

of ukrainian drones on russia. sky oil refineries stopped the processing capacity of approximately 600,000 barrels per day. ukrainian intelligence previously stated that they consider russian oil depots and factories to be military facilities, because they, in particular, provide fuel for the russian army. the ukrainian side took responsibility for some of these attacks. mykhailo gonchar, a ukrainian expert on international energy and security relations and president of the strategiya center for global studies, joins our broadcast. i welcome you to ours etheri, thanks for joining. good morning, morning freedom. yes, freedom of the morning, good morning. mykhailo, i would like to learn from you, because , you know, the topic is difficult to understand. we seem to hear about the success of these strikes on refineries, but how exactly do they manifest themselves, how did the strikes on refineries affect the russian oil industry and why can this become, as they wrote in the bilt edition, a big problem for putin? well, it

has already become a problem, all the more so. they talk about her like that both in russia and outside of russia, so this is precisely the confirmation of these problems, which have come, in principle, if the systematic and sequence of attacks on oil refining facilities of russia is continued, then this problem will acquire a fatal character, therefore it is important not to stop here, of course, to talk now about some conclusions, as they are trying to do now... it is too early to submit, we have some current results, but the process is ongoing, the numbers are called different, but the fact is the fact, this is the ban on the export of gasoline, this is an eloquent testimony that these strikes by ukrainian drones are pre-school, that is, it is necessary turn them into catastrophic consequences, but this requires further action, that is...
