tsc employees detained the volunteer by force, at least his wife stated this on social networks. the situation gained such resonance that reacted even in the office of the human rights commissioner, what conclusion did they reach there and what is generally known about this incident? each of your likes and comments helps this video become more popular online. russian forces continue assaults on the left bank of the dnieper in order to... beat ukrainian soldiers from there. the losses of the army of the russian federation in the last assault amounted to 70% of the personnel, says the head of the joint press center of the forces of the defense of the south, nataliya gumeniuk. the armed forces of ukraine still hold positions on the left bank, that is, the occupied bank kherson region. at the same time, on another part of the southern front in the direction of zaporozhye , the forces of the russian federation are advancing in the area of ​​the village of verbove in the direction of robotynoy , an updated map is published by the analytical portal deep state.

at the same time, the american institute for the study of war reports that as of the past day , positional battles are ongoing in the robotyno area, and adds that russian pro-war telegram channels, for example, vorgondzo, reported on the alleged capture of half of the village of rubotingo, the army of the russian federation, dibstate analysts also report on the advance of the forces of the russian federation in the village of orlivka in the avdiyiv direction. this is how it looks on the deepstate portal map. the russian ministry of defense has already informed about the capture of this village, the ukrainian general staff. did not confirm this information as of now. germany hosted the 20th meeting in the rammstein format. it took place against the background of the advance of russian troops in the east and south of ukraine and the lack of ammunition for the armed forces of ukraine. have ukraine's allies come up with something to help, the correspondent will tell radio liberty zoryana stepanenko. and then wait for an exclusive interview with the minister of defense of ukraine rustem umyerov.

the place is traditional, and the meeting in such a composition is taking place for the first time in a long time: the ramstein airbase hosts members of an informal club willing to arm ukraine in its struggle against russian aggression. the ukrainian forces currently have a difficult stretch on this path. we need more money because we have different options, there is a czech initiative, we also have different shipping options in estonia, so i will also conduct some discussions with your colleagues, perhaps. shells, and then the czech republic found almost the same amount while looking for them. international efforts also helped in the search for funding. there is enough money to supply 300,000 munitions, and announcements of contributions continue to be made, including on the fields of ramstein. germany has announced an aid package worth half a billion euros.

from the composition of our armed forces. delivery will begin in a short time, in fact immediately. in addition, we pay the cost of 180,000 ammunition within the framework of the czech initiative. delivery will take place step by step starting in summer. canada is ready to spend 30 million each on the initiative of the czech republic for the purchase of shells, and finland is also transferring night vision devices. ammunition was a priority for the ukrainian side, which was traditionally represented at the ramstein meeting by defense minister rustem umyerov, as well as anti-aircraft defense systems, drones for procurement, which luxembourg joined, fighter jets. shells - the government official told rfe/rl after the meeting, announcing the comforting news for... the ukrainian military, all we need now are missiles, and we received this help and we are going along with the results, and i hope that unloading will begin in the nearest 15 days,

the artillery will be provided with enough for the first step, therefore, in this regard, we also plan to increase production, so we are going with the package. er, what will our troops do. however, the country that has been at the forefront of helping ukraine for many months does not announce investments in ukraine's defense capabilities. the power of the united states currently depends on the will of congress, where the 60 billion funding of ukraine is still blocked. forecast regarding the terms, despite the optimism regarding the approval, the head of the pentagon did not voice, he only emphasized that his country is together with international partners and the free world. will not allow ukraine to lose. when we invest in ukraine's security, we invest in our own security and strengthen the contact group's shared vision of an open world of rules, rights and responsibilities. today, the survival of ukraine is at risk, there are risks to the security of america, they cannot lose

a day, and we do not have a free day. with the help of ukraine, the leadership of the pentagon associates european and world security, expressing readiness to coordinate satisfaction in the future. its urgent needs on the battlefield, in particular within a number of coalitions of capabilities born on the fields of ramstein and slowly developing, providing for both short-term and long-term demands of ukraine. cinematographer stepanenko, marek hajduk, radio liberty. well, our colleague, zoryana stepanenko, spoke exclusively with the ukrainian minister of defense on the fields of ramstein about the risks of a new offensive by russian forces, about mobilization in russia after the elections. putin and on the law on mobilization in ukraine. i suggest now to listen to a fragment from this interview. given the delay in the $60 billion package from the united states, what is ukraine's plan b in the meantime? we only have plan a, which, the strategic goal of our country is

the borders of 1991, and we do not name the military goals, so we follow this plan. how do you assess the risks of an attack by the russian federation from the north? we have been fighting for the 10th year, we are preparing, now, as you know, we are building all lines of defense and fortification, we also talked about this yesterday in vizbaden with our partners, so that to strengthen the engineering component, so we will always give repulses to deter the enemy, there is information, in particular assumptions from experts, also from western intelligence, that vladimir putin after re-election may announce a new wave of mobilization, what about this... ukrainian intelligence and how ukraine is preparing respond to such a potential scenario? well, they always throw their people into local assaults, they don't count them, so we work on it and kill the enemy, this is one of our tasks to defend the country and kill more enemies.

and if we talk about mobilization in ukraine, what are the quantitative needs now? we are currently working together with the parliament to explain each position. took er time-out in order to analyze, we had changes, held meetings in this regard, now we are working according to the plan that was discussed with the speaker. the last question, are there any tips from partners on how to increase the number of troops in ukraine? ah, the main thing is that our partners have been with us for, oh, two years, today is the anniversary, oh, such a meeting where... each country expressed not only for active assistance, but we spoke summarized the topics of non-supply of these capabilities , therefore everyone emphasized that we are close to ukraine, regardless of any circumstances, we will

continue to support ukraine, therefore, in this regard, together with our partners, we will do everything possible and impossible to achieve our goal of victory. and the topic of mobilization. one of the most important issues that will be discussed in ukrainian society, in particular in the context of what tsc representatives can and cannot do, write in the comments whether you have encountered violations of human rights by tsc employees specifically in in the meantime, ihor kuziy, a military expert of the institute of euro-atlantic cooperation, joins our broadcast. i welcome you. good afternoon, glad to hear from you. all are in high demand, many calls. mr. igor, there is something to talk about with you, and i would like to start, probably with what he told the commander, a direct quote: we are going with a package that will accommodate our troops, this is actually what he said to ramshtein after the results, or do you also perceive the results of the meeting so optimistically? you know, no, definitely not, and the problem is rather

after all, not in the words, even in the words themselves, of the same mayor, what you presented, yes, he is working on something, on meat assaults, you know, a lot can be said here, well, first of all, i don't i agree with you personally from the point of view of what you say about human rights and that. why don't you want to make a statement from the point of view of the rights of a person who is at the front and the actions of the authorities, let 's talk about the protection of military personnel from this point of view, that is, today, if so, let's take a look, if possible, i will stop you for a second, we will return to this topic with you too, but in order not to forget what i said, let's go back to receiving aid for ukraine. and then we will move on to this topic as well, because it is one of the main ones on our broadcast, so we will definitely talk about it too, but still about

help, how much will be enough for kyiv what the partners announced after the results of ramshtein? come on, in the best of times kyiv lacked what was provided, and now is not the best of times, this is the answer to my question, very short and simple, here is the premium, so listen, and prime minister shmygel stated, in particular , that starting from april, ukraine expects to transfer up to... the amount of artillery ammunition, he said this during a press conference during his visit to luxembourg, the guardian, how should we treat such words of the prime minister, maybe the government knows something more, what is voiced and what is not voiced? well, let 's go, yes, i suppose that the government knows something more, but i am absolutely not interested in the prime minister, as the minister of foreign affairs, if he has assumed the powers of a minister of foreign affairs, this is his, shall we say , personal decision. he is of particular interest to me, as a person who is responsible for the development of the economy, a person who, in addition, works, in

the majority, more precisely, because the challenges of war, they are, in the majority work on the development of the defense-industrial complex, did you hear something today about these, these are the questions that arise for a normal person, and i'm sorry, the same arises for a normal person, what the committee and the verkhovna rada, yes, the committee on security issues, are working on. defense forces are working on the bill, they explain it, and i see it society sees that they are working to destroy the most patriotic part , the society of ukraine, because i cannot explain it in any other way, delaying, in what context exactly, do you mean, in the context of consideration of the draft law on mobilization, delaying the adoption of the draft law, every our people are dying every day, every day. excuse me, there is blood on the epaulets of mr. zavitnevich, on the epaulettes of the chairman of the verkhovna

rada, but also the members of the committee, and in particular the human rights commissioners, stated that according to the norms contained in this mobilization the government's draft law, already in its second version, there are also questions, so they want to go through all the amendments so as not to raise questions either from ukraine's partners or from those who deal with human rights, well, in this context , i will explain, again you returned to human rights , remember not... i, but you returned to human rights, how will we protect the rights of military personnel who are there today, i will hear a very simple answer from a citizen of ukraine, you, how do you see how to protect the rights of those people who are already 2 years in the trenches i think that these are precisely the questions that should be asked of government officials and deputies, after all, i am a journalist, i cannot assess situations, but when in two years, or in a year or when? you understand, every day of postponement, it does not play in our favor,

and society must understand this, if you excuse me, the chairman of the verkhovna rada, the chairman of the committee, the president, as the supreme commander, who has the right to introduce 10 bills within 10 days, should be considered, i don't understand this, so how can i explain this to the authorities, or what to do with them reach out, in particular, from a military point of view, what do you see? ukraine's greater need now is precisely in people or in ammunition, is this a complex issue, and in order for the situation at the front to look much better for ukraine, there is a need for greater mobilization of people, and in rotation, precisely in ammunition, so that they there was even more, you know, so you can't say that in order for the mass media to work better, there is a greater need for microphones, or a greater need for people, and microphones, and people, what i'm talking about, because it's clearly complex question which it was necessary to decide 30 years ago, this is

a great respect, i apologize to those presidents who destroyed the defense-industrial complex, sold it off. and by the way, this president promised to deal with this issue, and one of the reasons i might not vote for him is precisely because he didn't deal with it. this is the main problem, and you will understand, correctly, impunity, it creates impunity. therefore, when we talk about complex issues, we have to solve them every day. russia is not a one-day country, it is a country stands and will stand for a long time. and here are many questions, including what our intelligence community is doing, that putin can calmly try to create, excuse me, an alliance, china, russia, north korea, questions to the ministry of foreign affairs in the same context, questions to the minister,

excuse me, of the economy, to the minister of finance, who deals with issues related in the first place. all, all the questions you ask, only these ministers can answer them, they are not on our air, but we always invite, nevertheless, to the topic of russia and to the topic of military. russia has used missiles provided by north korea against ukraine at least 10 times. this is stated, in particular, by the us state department, the voice of america reports. there are separate intelligence data from south korea that kemchinin also sent putin 700 conditional containers with ammunition and other weapons starting in 2023. this putin-kimchinin connection, how dangerous is it and how long can it last? it is just as threatening as we will not interfere in this process if we are watch him if we don't , through our intelligence community and other sorry agencies that work from the outside,

enable putin to create it. isn't it clear that putin is active. opposes our attempts to create a union, look at hungary, look at slovakia, look at poland , the question is not so much about putin's actions towards us, but about our ability to oppose putin and prevent him from creating these things, and when we do not see it, and we try to close our eyes to it situations arise, well, to put it mildly , cases, mr. yehor, you said before that russia is not a one-day state, if, for example, there will be no cooperation with north korea, as far as russia's resources are concerned, in particular, in ammunition, which north korea, according to the south, transferred russia, is sufficient to continue waging war on a full scale in such intensity as it is now. look what is happening, what is happening is that north korea

is saving the time of the russian federation in order to arrange the release of all the fighters. passed in in sufficient numbers, some may say that they will not have enough technology, some will say that they will not have enough, sorry, modern approaches, but they will compensate for all this with what panumer called meat assaults, this will be compensated precisely with these, but we cannot do it, we have to compensate for it through technologies, through enterprises, through production, modern production underlined. this is why north korea, it only gives the russian federation the opportunity to delay exactly as much as the russian federation, or more precisely, how long will the russian federation try to create this defense-industrial complex in its modern needs, that's what the question is about, and the same situation with china,

so when we allow it to be done, in fact we have a situation that we allow... of the russian federation to restore its defense-industrial complex. and unlike the russian federation, we hear the statements of the prime minister of ukraine, which concerns, excuse me, holland, sweden, and someone else. well cool, that's really what i expect as a citizen. i thank you for your inclusion, i have to say that your position is your position. ihor koziy, military expert of the institute of euro-atlantic cooperation, guest of our broadcast, we talked about the latest news, in particular on polyboya. and about the results of ramshtein-20, the aid that ukraine received. well, i should add that we always leave radio liberty, leave the right to the other party that was mentioned. to speak about certain events, that is why there is always such an opportunity on our broadcasts, and torsky on the leman front is stormed by russian troops every week from the village to

positions of the forces of the russian federation only 2.5 km. they are trying to seize torsk to advance towards lehman. the other day, volunteers brought bread there for the locals. see details in the story of our correspondent serhii horbatenko. now we are in the font of tolsk, once a week we deliver bread, humanitarian aid, we provide medical aid to people if they need it, well, this is how tovsk looks like, that this time they brought bread and a small one. hygiene kits,

they beat, he three, it was two days ago the arrival, beat all the houses. and you are fixing this now after the arrivals, the house, yes, yes, yes , after the arrivals, literally, two people went to kirovsk, the ramp, because that drone is flying, what do you say, fly the drone, can this drone be, i hope it is ours, well no. ..

in the form of bread, we also received a message from line 102 that a woman had died in this settlement, we went to the place, documented it, made sure that it was a natural death, currently there are more than 150 people of the civilian population, children there is no, people are fully provided with humanitarian aid, such as hygiene kits, and food kits, unfortunately there is no light there, because of the active hostilities it is impossible to get there. it's light, but people still stay there, as they say, by themselves, we're used to it, we 've settled in. many topics

that we will discuss with you today, we will and are discussing, in particular the one that we announced at the beginning of the broadcast, we will also go to it, but before that we will talk about ukrainian grain, which is not the reason for the low prices of grain for polish farmers. therefore, the introduction of an embargo on agricultural products from ukraine cannot solve the problem problem, the analysts of the polish public institute stated. of finance, they conducted an analysis of the situation with the protests of polish farmers and found out that the import of ukrainian grain in 2023 is only one million tons, while domestic production in poland was more than 35.5 million tons, with such a ratio, grain from ukraine cannot be a factor that significantly affects the price reduction - say polish analysts. since november of last year, polish farmers periodically join carriers and block checkpoints on the border with ukraine. they demand to stop... the import of ukrainian grain into their country, because it allegedly leads to the bankruptcy of their business. a few days ago, for the same reason, they started protesting on the borders with germany, slovakia, and even earlier

protests took place on... the polish-lithuanian border. meanwhile, across the country in poland today, farmers announced a large protest action, which was actually supposed to be joined by about 70,000 protesters in advance, they said that they would block the roads from the very in the morning, so that people do not have to go to work and study. we will ask our correspondent natalka volosatska what is happening in poland now. natalia, congratulations, tell me what is happening in the place where... you are, what is the general situation in the country? greetings oleg, difficult wednesday, that 's what today is called in poland, farmers announced that the whole country will stop, there will be protests in cities and on highways, people will not go to work, and pupils and students to educational institutions, farmers call on people to carry out the plan this day is with them as a sign solidarity, and actually, as you already mentioned, according to the police, in almost 600 places of the country

from... there will be protests and approximately 70,000 protesters will take part in these actions, we are now at the entrance to warsaw, this is the place where there should definitely be a protest, we see that the farmers are not there yet, but the police are there and are waiting for a road blockade every minute, the farmers are always demanding to limit the flow of agricultural products from outside the eu, including from ukraine, and significant changes in the european green course, part of these the demands of polish farmers... in particular, those related to climate and environmental norms, the european commission has already changed, but the farmers say that they will not stop until all their demands are met. we have the latest information from brussels, the eu has reached a preliminary agreement on the extension of trade liberalization measures for ukraine for another year, but, however, with new restrictions, the eu countries and the european parliament have agreed to limit ukrainian imports

to rural ones. household products from june, it refers to goods exempted from duties, eggs, poultry, sugar, oats, corn and honey. i would like to add that a meeting of the ukrainian and polish governments is scheduled for march 28 in warsaw, donald tusk the day before expressed hope that by march 28 it will be possible to work out joint solutions with ukraine that will be much safer for polish agriculture. olezhe thank you very much, natalya, thank you for joining in and telling me briefly. about what is happening in poland, what are the expectations, natalka volosatska, radio liberty correspondent live from poland about the mass strike of polish farmers, at least stated. well, the network will once again discuss the incidents with the detention of men by tsc employees. the day before, lviv telegram channels published a video of a man running away from people in military uniform into the courtyard of buildings, as zahidnet reports, he was caught and put on a bus and taken away. later in the lviv regional tcc.
