greetings, this is svoboda ranok, my name is oleg galiv, and below are only the main news of the day. russian forces attacked ukraine en masse with missiles and... kharkiv, zaporizhzhia, dnipro and khmelnytskyi were under attack. in some cities, the authorities reported outages by light i will tell you what the situation is. were the ukrainian energy facilities the target of the russian forces today, because in particular ukrhydroenergo reported on the dnipro-hess plant being hit, and where were the russian forces aiming in general? we will also talk about this later in our broadcast. well , the law is ready for the second reading in the verkhovna rada. which will allow the president

to automatically deprive people who have committed crimes against ukraine from state awards in the field of culture. this is what people's deputy nikita poturaev says about this, which includes the document, who from stars may be left without awards. write from which city you are watching us, what is your situation, most importantly, whether you were in shelters and whether these shelters were opened during the morning mass attack on the territory of ukraine. this morning the russian army. carried out a massive combined attack on many cities of ukraine, the first to attack were strike drones of the shaket type, after which strategic tu-95 bombers, of which there were at least 13, launched cruise missiles, at the same time , mig fighters, which launched kinzhal missiles at the border the kharkov-sumshchyna regions were also fired with ballistics. as of now, arrivals and explosions are reported. arrivals and explosions were reported in zaporizhzhia, kharkiv, dnipro, kryvyi rih, dnipropetrovsk oblast , vinnytsia, ivano-frankivsk, lviv

oblasts, as well as odesa. this list can be supplemented during this broadcast, during this day, depending on how quickly the information will appear. this time, russian forces attacked the ukrainian energy industry. this is the largest attack on ukraine's energy industry in recent times. yes, about this attack was written on facebook by the minister of energy of ukraine herman galushchenko. he says that there are hits and damage to power generation facilities, transmission and distribution systems in various areas. in addition . due to shelling, one of the power transmission lines feeding the zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant was cut off. impacts on energy are also confirmed by dtek. the report states that dtek heating and electric substations were attacked, where exactly information about the victims is not being reported and is being checked. and president zelensky reacted to the night attack on ukraine in telegram. he wrote that over 60 rockets and almost 90 rockets of various types were fired over ukraine that night. the targets were the hreblja, hes power plants and even

trolleybuses, and the president showed this video. there are no delays in russian rockets, as in aid packages to our state, shaheds are not indecisive, as in some politicians, it is important to understand the price of delays and delayed decisions. patriot systems must protect kharkiv and zaporizhzhia, air defense is needed to protect people, infrastructure, houses and dams, wrote zelenskyi. well, ukrhydroenergo has confirmed a hit on ukraine's largest hydroelectric power station, dnipro-hes, located in the zaporizhzhia region. the statement says that the fire at the station continues, emergency services and energy workers are working on the spot, overcoming the consequences of numerous airstrikes. osind analysts of the osin technical group on the x network publish photos that have been geolocated as dniprogez. now you see them on the screen. ukrhydroenergo emphasizes that there is no threat of a breach of the dnipro-hes dam. the situation at the dam of the station is under control. patrol police in zaporizhzhia oblast has been warned that it will completely restrict road traffic through the dniprovska hes dam. and urged

citizens to use alternative bridges across the dnipro. dniprogez is located in the dnipro district of the city of zaporizhzhia. this is how it looks, this is the first guez that came out. on the dnipro river and the fifth stage of the dnipro cascade of the hydroelectric power plant, and the city of kharkiv is in fact completely de-energized as a result of attacks by russian forces, the head of the kharkiv regional military administration, oleg sinyyi, reported this according to ovaz data, as of 5 a.m. , more than 15 strikes were carried out in the city, but these are not final data, because the anxiety in kharkiv continued. all emergency services, according to the regional military administration, work in local public places, also report about... problems with the internet, the head of the police of the kharkiv region, volodymyr tymoshko, said that if kharkiv residents need to call their loved ones, call the emergency services, charge their phones, they can contact to the nearest district police stations, where starlinks and generators were started,

well, in the kharkiv junction, the movement of all trains, including hyundai high-speed electric trains, is pulled by diesel locomotives , ukrzaliznytsia reports, the kharkiv station has been switched to backup power, there is also... an unbreakable point is working, the company says. and in kharkiv, emergency services lines 101 and 112 are not working , the mayor of kharkiv igor terikhov reports this and instead asks people to call 1562. line 102 is also working . hanna chernenko, a correspondent of radio liberty in kharkiv, joins our broadcast at this moment. hanna, congratulations, as far as kharkiv is concerned safe now and maybe tell me more about what works. what is not working, what has already been restored and how is the connection? good, very much a question about safety, in fact, after such a night, and in general after these two, for more than two years it is difficult to say that somewhere is safe, but we survived it, the main thing is that according to the reports of the city

authorities, it is still on critical infrastructure projects are still being overcome by fires in some places, i want to say right away that it works, well, first of all , mobile communication, but not all... people and not all operators, so people should remember how switch from one operator to another. in addition, there is no electricity in the city at all, accordingly, electric transport does not work, neither surface nor underground, the metro is now only open as a shelter, and all our lines are duplicated by additional buses, in kharkiv last year such a corresponding map was created just in case. transport map in case of blackouts, so additional buses have been launched, but still they do not cover as much as the metro, like trolleybuses and trams, there are not so many of them, let's say so, so i think that the people of kharkiv will still experience such certain transport inconveniences and i advise you to leave in advance when you need

to get somewhere, that's for sure, because according to the mentions of last year, taxis are getting more and more expensive, as for emergency service lines 102. they have already resumed work , as reported, 101, 112 are still being restored, but all the numbers, as well as the emergency call in principle, are duplicates, are mobile, they are all in the official telegram channels, now this is probably the fastest way to find out some information about the railway, you said, indeed, the station has been switched to backup power supply methods, and i also want to remind you that there is a map of unbreakable points, it works there, there is communication, there is electricity, you can... recharge, all this is available at schools, at certain , we have a map, it has literally just been recalled, laid out, it is both in action and in the points of disobedience, a special telegram channel, so let's say so, we will check it, the next few hours, the city has woken up, people are appearing little by little on the street,

transport, but really, let's say, us weaned ourselves from this and such a volume of strikes had never happened before, despite the fact that kharkiv experienced blackouts, but there were no similar ones, i will remind... that we had s-300s and x-22s combined, this is preliminary, i think they can continue there will be clarifications about this, and on some objects of the power system, on some objects of critical infrastructure, several strikes were made at once, whether one type of weapon was used or different ones at the same stations, we are also waiting for information from experts, because if somewhere else put out fires, then accordingly and it is still impossible to remove the fragments from the fragments of these missiles. and as for the region, the situation is somewhat similar, those objects, those regions, let's say, lozova, pervomaisk, they were not so affected, but there little by little, for example, some of these areas, excuse me, they

will turn off the electricity , in order to stabilize the entire energy system, they additionally report information when it will be connected again, so the situation in the region is basically... and in some regions it is better, but they will still experience interruptions with light, heat and water, so there it is, for example, lozivshchyna, they will try to hold the pitch. water, heat supply. in kharkiv, they said that they can now restore heat for 40,000 subscribers. this means those places, those territories, where alternative energy sources such as generators at heating stations are connected, in others, until there is a problem with this. as for water, there is water as well, only in some, let's say, locations, it is there, in most of the city it is not there either, it will be organized. delivery of water to yards in certain areas, and a map of this

will also be published immediately. thank you very much, hanna operational information, take care and let the day be as calm as possible. hanna chernenko, rfe/rl correspondent from kharkiv, about the situation there, the city suffered as a result of market attacks by russian forces. well, we have operational information from the commander of the air force of ukraine. according to him, 92 air targets were destroyed, that is 55 shaheds and 37 missiles. in total, the russian forces used 151 means of air attack, it is also about shaheds 136-131 and cruise missiles kh-101-kh-555, and cruise missiles kh- 22, i apologize, and about the kh-59 guided air missiles and the s-300 guided missiles, that is , a lot of things were fired at ukraine by russian forces, 55 drones were shot down by the ukrainian air force and 35 kh-101-kh-55 cruise missiles and two guided missiles. x59 missiles , the commander of the air force wrote in his own

telegram, write in the comments where you are looking at us and what is your situation, this is important, ihor sorota, the general director of ukrhydroenergo, joins our broadcast, i congratulate you, have a good day, please tell me which the current situation on the dnipros, how large-scale the hit is and whether there are really any threats to the functioning of the hessian power plant itself. well, unfortunately, there are hits, there are hits on gs2 and gs1, there was a large, let's say, attack of missile strikes, and damage, there is damage, and it is going on now. we still cannot give a final assessment of what is happening with the gs2 station, the gs1 station, we

already understand the consequences, we also understand what is happening from the crane girders, we understand what is happening from the dam, so i would like to say right away that the threats, the breach of the dam no, of course there are crane beams that hit one support, broken, but there is no threat of a breakthrough... but i would like to emphasize once again, it seems to me that this is such an inadequate behavior of, say, the international community, when the kokhov station was destroyed , and the enemy, let's say, did not hear the big consequences for himself, and therefore continued to hit the hydraulic structures, this is a great danger for an ecological disaster. and i hope that the world will respond to these strikes, which are again

taking place on critical critical infrastructure facilities that carry a large ecological threat. mr. igor, your connection is missing something, it is interrupted, so let's clarify once again and repeat once again for the viewers who are watching us now, because there is actually a lot of information that is known as of now, specifically about the hit that is under threat , which is not at risk, what work is being done on site? i say once again, the fact that we are under threat today is that we are losing a station, the zaporizhzhia station, station gs2 and gs1, consists of two stations, gs2 is under threat, what to work, we do not know which one volume and with what power it can, but it is precisely because of the hit, precisely because of the consequences of the hit, precisely because of the missile. because two rockets came with a direct hit on gs2 , one rocket flew on, let's say, on

the crane beams and hit the support, that is , gs2 is in a critical condition, gs1 is also not working now, so we are taking all measures to, say, raise the shutters and to activate the water, because unfortunately, we will not be able to activate it due to the station. this water and we will have to open the gates to activate the kakhov reservoir, and more it is important to emphasize that there is no breakthrough, no threat of a breakthrough, so for today. there is no disaster , there is no breakthrough, but we will be able to give all the consequences in a couple of hours, when we will be with the state emergency service and our workers will extinguish the fire , an examination will be carried out, and we will be able to provide you with additional information, still i wanted more, that you explain to us the very structure, the very structure

of this hydroelectric power plant, how powerful it is, because it is not completely possible somewhere there... they understand, all the risks were taken into account during of construction, actually, that's why it's such a strong object, that's right, of course, it's a stylish object, we say, if you look, the majzal itself and the hydraulic structure, the hydraulic structure is of course powerful, it's super powerful, as for the mashzal, the mashzal, you understand it is somewhat simplified, namely the mash hall, where the units are located, where is the upper part, but where are the units? are located in the construction part in the lower part, it is also a very powerful building, and the engine room, where all the electrical equipment is, but of course there are windows, there about, and if the electrical equipment is on fire and they are on fire transformers, then of course the station does not work, the aggregates may remain intact, but the engine room will have

to be completely restored and the electrical equipment will have to be completely restored, this will require additional work, but once again... i say, we will calculate the consequences within the day and we will understand , what happened and whether it will be able to work, if it can, then whether it will be limited or not at all for a certain period of time gs2 will be able to work. mr. igor, i will ask you another question, if you cannot answer it, i will understand because you are not a representative of the regional government, but still, those photos that were published on the network, which still need to be verified, maybe somewhere towards the end, they showed one of the vehicles, whether it was a trolleybus or a bus that was actually moving on in this direction, do you know that...

both the gas pipes and the cable caught fire, the gas pipe caught fire and of course also caught fire in the bus and there this trolleybus, the trolleybus burned down, our workers, thank god, are all alive, and that is the most important thing, mr. igeru , i thank you very much for tuning in, we wish yours to the employees of endurance, in fact, let it be possible as soon as possible to eliminate all the shortcomings of the state, which currently exist, ihor syrota, the general director of ukrhydroenergo, was in touch with us. it turned out to be a really difficult morning, we need to understand this and write to us from which cities you are watching us, what is your situation, and most importantly, indicate whether you are going down to the shelters and whether the shelters are working in your cities, this is important, because from time to time since the full-scale invasion began and since missiles began to hit the territory of ukraine, journalists have been actively following the topic of whether shelters are working, you know that there was a big

problem in many ukrainian cities with this issue, so write it is important for understanding, during this broadcast we will... establish contact with various ukrainian regions that suffered as a result of the morning attack of russian forces on the territory of ukraine. let me just remind you that according to the head of the air force of ukraine, 151 aerial objects were launched over the territory of ukraine and a large part of them were shot down, it was a combined attack, it is about shaheds and missiles of various types used by russian forces, and herman galushchenko, who is the minister of energy, said that this is the biggest recent attack on ukraine's energy infrastructure. we have the broadcast on the youtube channel of rfe/rl, share it with your friends, share it with your acquaintances, it is important , we will learn verified information firsthand from officials, which is no less important, considering the conditions in which everyone is experiencing today, well and i see that you also write to us from different cities and tell us what the situation is like
