siren sounds and explosions. february 24, 2022 , when russia launched a full-scale invasion, will remain so in the memory of every ukrainian. due to the actions of the occupiers, they were injured. almost all regions of ukraine gave. kyiv region was one of the first to take the hit. columns of russian troops were advancing on the capital from the north. 15 territorial communities of vyshgorod, buchan and brovar districts were under occupation. these are 270 settlements of the region. and already on april 2 , 2022, ukrainians heard good news. kyiv region is freed from the russian invaders. this happened thanks to the ukrainians. defenders, including

a serviceman with the call sign khan. he is a crimean tatar, born and raised in crimea. he moved to the capital immediately after the occupation of the peninsula by the russians in 2014. and when february 24 heard the first explosions, without thinking, volunteered with his friends to the 95th assault brigade to protect the heart of ukraine, kyiv. we arrived there, there were a lot of people. so that you understand, the 95th brigade had about 3,000 people, and about 6,500 people came, there were a lot of people everywhere, on the street, at the entrance to the military unit, people came who wanted to defend their land from russian aggression. the man joined the division of the sabotage and intelligence group, which went to defend the makariv district on february 25 of kyiv region, in its subdivision. he

was a machine gunner. in the early days of the war, it was very difficult, there was no equipment like now, for example, drones to pick them up and look at them. we worked the old fashioned way, we identified the enemy ourselves. that was the situation. the military serviceman recalls that he had to enter the battle in the kyiv region with quite professional russian troops. the only thing the occupiers miscalculated was that they would be prepared for battle... not only them. the 95th airborne assault brigade routed the russians. we destroyed them from a distance about 20 m. i saw them perfectly. i don't want to talk about myself, but the commander said: you destroyed 20 people. i remember they had such equipment that it would not save for an armor-piercing machine gun from 20 m. a serviceman with the call sign hutsul also came to the defense of the makariv district. he... fought in the donbas back

in 2014, was demobilized due to his health, but when he heard the first explosions in the morning of february 24, he went back to his native 95th assault regiment brigades the day before, on february 24, 2022, we understood that the invasion of the russian federation will be on the territory of our state, that's why the boys and i agreed with those... we served back in the 14th year, that we will gather near the military headquarters and stand up for the defense of our state. the brigade performed combat tasks in the settlements of yasnohorodka, motyzhyn, kopeliv, osykovo, and makarivsky district. the main task was to prevent the enemy from entering the capital. i don't know where we got so much strength from. physically, morally, if

it was very, well, if it was difficult, because if it was lack of sleep, then we walked a lot as scouts... in the forest area, also fields, well, i wouldn't say that it was very difficult for us, but our motivation was that we were protecting our land, first of all, our family and our state, and our main task was to prevent they entered the kyiv region, after completing the tasks in the kyiv region... huttsul and his comrades were redeployed to the donetsk direction, then defended the country from the enemy in the kharkiv region near izyum. destroying the enemy who came to our land with weapons is a pleasure, because people who come to us with good, we them

we meet with bread and salt, but people, those who come to our land with weapons, they will simply be destroyed. the russians left behind ruins in the kyiv region. tombs and graves. during the occupation, 1,370 residents of the region died. 714 of them were tortured, but today, thanks to our defenders , the ukrainian flag flies over the region. tetyana golonova, oleksandr burlevich, espresso tv channel. thanks , of course, to the defenders. why i say of course, because watching such stories, listening to stories, you understand how the enemy was beaten, and after that. by some russian politicians that we ourselves decided to leave kyiv, but you yourselves did not decide to leave anywhere, wherever you sit, there you sit, but i hope you will be kicked out from there, so once again thanks and respect to the defenders and kyiv and ukraine in general. and now i give the floor to yuri fizer, the world about ukraine. yury,

good evening, please. good evening to you vasyl, good evening to everyone who joined us at this time. today it is about how many patriot air defense systems ukraine can get? without the help of the united states states of america, we, unfortunately, may even lose by the end of the year, the cia says, and russia is under water. my name is yuriy fizar, this is a world about ukraine, and i will start in a moment. we call on china to put pressure on russia to stop its war in ukraine, all hostilities, that kind of thing. the appeal was sent to the heavenly leadership by the ministers of foreign affairs of the member countries of the group of seven or the big seven following the results of their meeting on the italian island of capri, this is stated in the final statement of the ministers. in addition, the heads of the foreign policy departments of the g7 member countries once again expressed their concern

that china can transfer dual-purpose goods to a terrorist country, which can then... be used in the production of weapons and ammunition, but they also expressed their readiness to conduct a constructive dialogue with the leadership of the people's republic of china to solve global problems in areas of mutual interest. well , it is also interesting that the group of seven countries intend to strengthen air defense. today they are just in time to meet this the issue was dealt with, discussed and discussed. there are already some results of their meeting, but what exactly, what results are currently unknown, they confidently emphasized that ukraine should win, and let's hear the first direct speech of anthony blinken, the secretary of state of the united states

of america. i want to remind you that the united states of america is very interested in the success of kyiv. if we allow putin to act with impunity, he will not stop in ukraine. and his aggression will continue, and other potential aggressors will take note and start their own own wars, so we will get a world of conflict, not a world of peace and security. therefore , we need not only air defense means, but even more weapons, and that is why the vote that will take place tomorrow in the house of representatives, this is the lower house of the american congress, where the bill on unblocking, providing additional finance, will be considered and voted on is so important. threats to us, the countries of the indo-pacific region, israel, and some certain security issues of the united states of america itself, and also mr. blinken, but already today on the same still on the island of capri, said about the possible fate

of frozen russian assets. let's hear exactly what he said. the issue of using russia's sovereign assets for the reconstruction of ukraine was also on the agenda. the kremlin has already called it theft, but the real theft is the killed ukrainians, the destruction of a large part of ukraine's infrastructure. and the seizure of its territories, that is why the possibility of using these russian sovereign assets for the restoration of ukraine is critically important, and sooner or later it will happen, well, it is better that it happens soon, but not late, as soon as possible, so that they find the mechanism by which they can be transferred to us so that we can then use them, this russian blood money, but will go to the reconstruction of ukraine. the member countries of the european union are one. strongly support the strengthening of sanctions against russia, as this

will reduce the ability of the kremlin leadership to continue its aggressive war, which it began back in february 2022. such a statement was made by french president emmanuel macron at a press conference following the results of the eu summit in brussels. at the same time, he emphasized that the priority is to fight against the circumvention of previously introduced economic restrictions in order to close all loopholes for russia. through which she could receive prohibited goods from abroad. in addition, president macron announced that the eu will create a new regime of sanctions against those who engage in disinformation and try to destabilize the situation in europe before the elections to the european parliament. well, this is also important, and another interesting piece of information appeared from the device. the president of france emmanuel macron, he said back in february that he wanted to visit ukraine again,

and yesterday he confirmed that such a visit is planned, but it is not yet known exactly when it will happen, here is his quote: yes, it is in plans, but i don't have a date yet to let you know, and it's also possible, again, during this press conference it became known that he will come to ukraine. with some other european leader, well, with whom exactly and when exactly is not yet known, but we are waiting. nato countries can provide six systems to ukraine of patriot air defense and together with the system delivered from germany, their total number will reach seven. german chancellor olaf scholz said this the day before during a press conference after the same meeting with colleagues at the unplanned europe summit. who of the alliance in brussels, moreover, the head of the german government emphasized that it was he who initiated

such a program, but only when exactly these air defense batteries can arrive in ukraine, the bundeschancellor did not say, well, but everyone understands very well that we need it, we needed it yesterday, but we need it as soon as possible, so i think that delaying, well at least now they will not... there are frozen russian assets in the united kingdom, europe and other countries. we need to find ways to use them to help ukraine protect itself. such a statement was made by the minister of foreign affairs of great britain, david cameron, during a meeting with colleagues from the so-called group of seven, which we still know as the big seven, which is was held in italian. on the island of capri, while the head of the british foreign office added that

he has no doubt that options for how to do this will be found, it is necessary, says david cameron, to show a coordinated approach in this situation and to achieve agreement between the g7 members, where to stay, which will ultimately be needed efforts yes, now we are getting a little closer to ukraine. negotiations with third countries within the framework of the czech initiative on the supply, first of finding, and then supplying our armed forces, ammunition at the expense of the west states, artillery shells, take place confidentially. the president of the czech republic, petr pavel, said this on cnn during an interview with christian amanpour. according to him, the west must simultaneously respond to the situation in ukraine and in... the middle east, it is difficult, he says, given a number of reasons, but

according to the president of the czech republic, here is a short quote from him: if you establish the presence of ammunition in ukraine , which does not want to be known about it, for quite obvious reasons, given its relations with russia, such negotiations occur confidentially, this is the end of the quote. by the way, in the same interview, the czech leader also once again reminded the americans why... it is just as important for them to help ukraine, saying, let's listen to peter and paul in direct language. i believe that ukraine. is as important for europe as it is for the united states and the rest of the world, because it is not only about protecting a sovereign country and its territory, but also about principle. and these principles are as important to the united states as they are to us. if russia succeeds in ukraine, then everyone will lose confidence in the transatlantic community because we talk about protecting values ​​but don't do enough to

protect them in practice. if the united states of america does not quickly... allocate aid to ukraine, then ukraine may, unfortunately, lose on the battlefield by the end of this year, that is, on the 24th. cia director william burns said this during a speech at a forum organized by the george bush jr. center in texas. according to him, ukraine is currently experiencing a difficult moment on the battlefield, as it is running out of ammunition, and usa time to help her. so says the main american intelligence officer. congressmen have no right to delay. mr. burns believes that without the approval by the us congress of additional funding for aid to kyiv, there will be new avdiyivkas, but if washington continues to support kyiv, the armed forces of ukraine will be able to maintain their positions on the battlefield in 2024, says william burns, and also continue striking

deep into crimea . and what is interesting, i remembered during this performance. america's top spy and how the united states of america passed intelligence to the russians before the terrorist attack in crocus city hall on march 22 of this year in the suburbs of moscow, he once again assured that this information had been passed on, at the same time they had passed on all the available information that they had for the russians, and a very interesting quote from mr. burns himself: now you have to ask the russians services, why didn't they... pay more attention to this, why didn't they take action in connection with this, and it was heard from moscow, after this terrorist attack, that, well, the americans gave some information there, but that was the way it was, no, it wasn't like that, it was enough for that to prepare and warn about what happened in the moscow region, but they did not, well, god is the judge,

we all agree that the survival and strength of ukraine. should be much more important for europe than for us, but it is also important for us. how did it happen that the usa spends 100 billion dollars more on the war in ukraine than europe, we are separated by an ocean. the 45th president of the united states, donald trump, wrote about this on his page in his own true social social network. thus, he once again called on the leadership of the european union in general and member countries of the community'. notes, in particular to allocate more money to support ukraine. it seems that he succeeded, because the united europe has recently been actively discussing this very issue, trying to reduce its dependence on the united states of america. and here, continuing the topic and concluding the topic of trump,

it is worth saying that, if not black, then dark clouds are beginning to thicken over him again. the court has selected 12 jurors who will decide his fate in a hearing in one of the cases that are currently open against him, about payments to porn model stormy daniells, and of course trump has already commented on this and said that this is a violation of his rights, well, what did he not say, in one word, trump from... the clouds over trump are thickening, we will see how he will survive all this, now the main thing is, that he - allow his subordinates to vote tomorrow in the house of representatives for such a law that we need. well, in conclusion, the series russia under the water continues to please us with beautiful shots, new shots. the water level in the tobol river

near the city of kurgan has already crossed not the critical mark, but the 10. meter mark, this is even above the critical level, in some places it even rose above the 11-meter mark, there they announced a total evacuation from some cities and territories, they even evacuated about 1,300 people, sirens sound, they are heard at night, they are heard during the day, people are leaving, and now at the end of the working week in the world about ukraine column. music break, watch without comments. the windows became dimmed, the light. good morning, my beloved city, there is no relative more beautiful than you, you are close to all the mounds, well, this

is my city, a mound under water, i wanted i wish that the volume under the water was tomsk and everything else, well, that's all i have in the world about ukraine section, that's all. for today there will be more next week on monday, but there will also be more in our next broadcast, so don't switch. thanks to yuri fizer for the information, music and water in kurgan. well, well, for the water in the mound, of course in nature, thank you. and now the plot is for your attention. ran 5 km on prosthetics. yana stepan. returned to lviv from the american boston, where she took part in the marathon. the girl lost both legs as a result of a rocket attack by the occupiers on the railway station in kramatorsk back in the 22nd. since then

, yana has been undergoing rehabilitation and is actively involved in sports. yana took part in the race to help raise funds for a modern protest for a ukrainian soldier. details from yana's first marathon, let's see further. when you left, it was warm, but when you arrived, it became cold. yana, so that you don't freeze. we made you skinny and beautiful like this, you understand that it's a gift, keep it, you'll have it right away, so well done, well done, well done, i came back with a great achievement, 13-year-old yana stepanenko took part in one of the most prestigious running competitions in the world, the boston marathon, which is attended by 30,000 participants every year. for the girl, this is the first race with prostheses, so she overcame 5k meters, because children are not allowed to run the full distance. , before the responsible start, yana was filled with excitement, but the support of the people gave the girl strength. oh, i ran really well,

i really liked it, it was hard, it was hard already towards the end, when there was already a kilometer left, then my legs started to hurt already, i could already feel such a weight, but still i reached the finish line, there were ukrainians who supported me, and they ran together with... with me these 5 km, although they did not intend to, but they simply supported me and ran with me. the girl prepared for this race for two months and trained four times a week with a physical therapist and professional trainers. she ran 5 km in just one hour, the result exceeded the expectations of both yana herself and her mentors. we have made sure that it is worth 1-2 km or 5 km for a beginner, this is a little too much. but when i drove up, we discussed between the coaches... that surely in that situation, in those emotions, she would still run 5 km, and we told her to the sanyo: yana, run as long as you can run, it's getting hard, stop, get off the distance, it's okay, the most difficult thing

was to start running, because i learned to walk first on these running porteses, because they are quite specific, and then we learned to run little by little, and in general there was nothing difficult, because she is very good, motivated the girl had a goal, to which she boldly went, and that is why she is everything the girl succeeded in her charity run. set herself the goal of assembling a sports prosthesis for seriously injured defender oleksandra rasny. the man lost a limb during the fighting in the zaporozhye direction and is undergoing rehabilitation in the center of nezlamna. yan stepanenko's mother and brother and fans were waiting for him at the finish line. and by video link, fighter oleksandr congratulated yana on her first marathon. the project was supported by 754 donors who transferred various amounts. so the necessary people were gathered for the protest. the girl's mother, natalya stepanenko, says that for yana it is small and not the last victory, and she did not even dream of such a result. it means a lot to her

, but she did not give up, and she ran all five, i am very satisfied, and i don't know, i didn't even have words, ukrainians cannot be broken, the story of a girl from donetsk proves . already in the next marathon, yana can take part together with the warrior oleksandr, and they have already agreed to train together with him. natalya stare pravo, oleg palyamar, espresso tv channel. hello, this is svoboda ranok, an informational project of radio svoboda. top guests every day. this is a ship's area. kherson is included live, we are somewhere in the vicinity of bakhmut, we tell the main thing, on weekdays at 9:00.

this is a column about money during the war, i'll start with an important figure: ukraine will receive 560 million euros from the european investment bank. this was reported by prime minister danys shmyhal. the appropriate memorandum for obtaining funds was signed with the head of the european investment bank. this money will be invested in energy projects, mainly transport. infrastructure, housing restoration, will also be distributed to support economic recovery and ukrainian business. well, indeed, the situation in energy complex, it requires investment. vasyl, indeed, this week the international community, as well as representatives of the specialized parliamentary committee, called on ukrainians to wait for the so-called blackouts according to ukrenergo schedules, they advise, so that this does not happen,

to save electricity and not to use appliances during peak hours. which draw a lot of kilowatts, and i don’t know the plus here, you will talk about the price of electricity today, please add, but today i had the opportunity to communicate with oleg penzyn in the morning, but now i am reading the statement of the people's deputy of ukraine, i won't even look for one, well, but because of the destruction of energy , the government will be forced to bring the light tariff to the level of at least the cost of electricity, because now they are actually working at a loss, but i'm not i promise that you will fail. tariffs, obviously, this is already being said by experts and representatives, well at least the verkhovna rada of ukraine, it will not be something that cannot be avoided, the only question is how much the price will increase, well, indeed, the issue of tariffs is being discussed by consumers, myself in particular returned at the beginning of the week from dnipropetrovsk region, well, everyone is talking about the fact that you will have to pay more for kilowatts, because the situation in the energy sector is really difficult, and companies are trying to cover these losses, perhaps

also at the expense of tariffs, but will they be able to? new electricity prices ukrainians, this is a big question. well, in the meantime , great britain allocates more than 180 million dollars to strengthen our energy system. this was stated by the permanent representative of the united kingdom to the osce , neil holland. the funds will be used precisely to repair those damaged by the russians energy facilities. well, they will try to do some protection of this critical infrastructure. let me remind you, recently. our minister of energy herman galushchenko reported that this year's russian shelling caused more damage to our energy structure than the attacks of 2022, 23. here we see, it was in the spring that the shelling shows that our system, the energy system, is vulnerable and needs to be restored, in fact, vasylyov also needs a certain...
