existing air defense systems for the protection of cities. in ukraine the incidence of whooping cough has been increasing since last year, they say in mos. most of the patients are children of preschool and early school age. how dangerous is whooping cough, what are the symptoms and how to avoid this disease? important news, statements, exclusive comments, all this is in our morning broadcast, join in, in the comments, write where you watch us from, and what the situation is in your city. today. at night , russian attack drones attacked odesa and the region. the military regional administration reports nine wounded people. four of them are children. residential buildings were damaged, at least 14 apartments were damaged. an operational headquarters was deployed on the spot to help and resettle people whose homes were destroyed. this is reported in the city council. drones of the shakhet type were also shot down by the air force of ukraine over the mykolaiv, cherkasy and kyiv regions. in the mykolaiv region, debris damaged a commercial facility. there is one wounded person here. in the kyiv region, air defense forces shot down

all the attack drones, there were no injuries, according to the city authorities, and there was no destruction either. in total, air defense forces shot down 15 drones out of 16. volodymyr zelenskyi, the president of ukraine, said that it was an obvious intimidation, so about the attack by russian troops on the television tower in kharkiv. he says this attack demonstrates the need for patriot air defense systems and strikes against russian logistics. obviously the intimidation that... the terror was visible to the whole city, and to try to limit kharkiv in communication and access to information, just like kharkiv, different cities and communities need protection, need patriots, and at the same time it is necessary to inflict maximum damage on everything that russia uses as a base for terror and for its military logistics. zelensky noted that the attack on the tv tower happened just... before his conversation with

us president joseph biden. i noted that the russian military targeted the television tower in kharkiv at approximately half past five on the previous day. there are no dead or injured. people were in shelter, but in kharkivska ova they reported interruptions with digital television signals. in the russian ministry of defense about this attack on kharkiv nothing was reported. ivan sokol, director of the department of civil protection of the kharkiv regional state administration, joins our broadcast. welcome to our broadcast. i thank you for joining. good morning, about the tv tower that was hit by a missile, what are the consequences of its destruction, are there still problems with the digital signal, was it possible to restore it? well, at the moment, if we are talking about yesterday's terrorist act on the part of the russian federation, we can state the fact that digital television in the city of kharkiv in the area of ​​the transmitter and the nearest settlements, then now from...

the relevant specialists are now conducting an analysis and analyzing the equipment that is currently damaged in order to... make final conclusions and say about the damage that was caused by the missile strike, is it clear now, what will happen to the structure itself, at the moment there is still nothing, well , it is actually unclear, further actions, now they are just trying, as i mentioned, senior specialists are only trying to figure out with you the results of the shelling, which is damaged, and... the equipment and transmitters, but if take to attention to the way in which it was built, then its reconstruction is possible only after the end of hostilities, it will be possible to talk about the real reconstruction of the mentioned

tower. at the time of the impact, the workers were not there on the tower, or were they in the shelter, what was the situation? there were no workers on the tower at the time of the attack, there were no casualties or casualties from this missile attack, do you think the russian forces accidentally hit the tower with a missile, or was it a targeted strike? in my personal opinion, it was intimidation of the population of the city of kharkiv and of the nearest population centers, well, imagine, in broad daylight at 16:40 a rocket attack was carried out, actually on budo. on the tower, which is the highest object in the city of kharkiv, well, of course , people were a little, well, it excited people a little, but as it passed, what exactly, i was, i think that this blow was aimed precisely to

scare the population a little kharkiv region, in broad daylight and we saw these shots, it is really shocking, they were also actively distributed in social networks, tell me, how did this night pass in kharkiv and the region, what is the situation? on yes on in the morning, we can talk about what has passed, last, last day, the enemy did not carry out active offensive actions in the kupinsky direction, and if we talk about shelling, then in fact the entire border area and the battle line were shelled from the barrel artillery of the rszzo, mono-meats. speaking of rocket attacks and cabs, we can say that no less than 16 such point strikes by cabs and rockets, including kh-59, iskander, and cabs were made in izyum,

chuguiv, and kupinsky districts and kharkiv. mr. ivan, i thank you participated, told about the situation in the region, ivan sokol, director of the department of civil protection of kharkiv od b'. freedom of the mornings. russian troops continue to shell kherson and the region. two people died and private houses were damaged due to the shelling of the kakhov district in the kherson region. in kherson itself, at least four people were injured due to the shelling of the dnipro district of the city, when , in particular, a public transport stop was shelled. the director of kherson state university also informed about the destruction of the dormitory building and the building university there is no information about the dead or injured. meanwhile, in the telegram channel of the yellow ribbon movement, which calls itself ukrainian partisans, the partisan movement, there was information that organizational measures to prepare for the evacuation of the bodies of the russian occupation authorities had begun from the occupied territory of the kherson region. we are talking, in particular, about the village

of nova-zburgivka near the bare wharf, the telegram channel writes with reference to local residents that during the week the local market will cease to function and a significant part of food. stores, what else is known about it in the law-controlled territory of the kherson region, we will ask now on the air, oleksandr tolekonnikov, the spokesman of the kherson regional military administration, joins our air. oleksandr, congratulations, thank you for joining. greetings, kind. tell me, and what do you know about such preparations for the evacuation of the occupation authorities from the left bank, as reported by the yellow ribbon telegram channel. and if this is indeed the case, if you confirm such facts, what does this indicate? well, it's not only in in novy zbruivka, they spread such rumors, not only about the evacuation of local collaborators, but also about the evacuation of people, such as that, they are planning

to create such a belt there along the river, well, along the front line, but today i just called the administration. with skadovska is no longer confirmed, well, the people who live there say that at first there was this information that everyone had to leave, now they have already changed their clothes. civilly the occupiers and they no longer talk about it in relation to the very local ranks of the occupiers, who seem to be there are engaged in, well, the village council, there are two men who work as collaborators, and they say that they come once a day, open the village council and close it, so far they are there somewhere nearby, but they are not always in the very... in the village itself, if they are there in the following days they will not come, then it can be assumed that they

have evacuated, probably there is not such a large gathering of themselves there, they are, since they are not particularly engaged in anything there , these collaborators of that large number are not there. oleksandr, and the occupation authorities themselves spreads rumors in this way, or shows it by her actions, or spreads them herself about the evacuation. warned, talked about it, but in terms of actions, of course, in order to evacuate people somewhere, it is necessary to offer something to people, to go somewhere, to some places, temporary shelters, and since there is no such thing, perhaps they are hoping that that the people themselves, after these rumors, will gather themselves and leave, and they will settle in their homes, probably this was their main idea from this. launch of this information, although we will watch again

on the situation, how it will develop further, to what extent they prove what they are telling to such a logical conclusion, also on the left bank, if i want i can add that there are also reports from khadovsky district from mykhailivka, there the occupiers are burying my brother in a mass grave the dead their soldiers who died in the mines, that is , now they don't even bother to take the bodies out and give them to their relatives in russia, they will bury them right here on the territory of the occupied kherson region. oleksandr, what you are saying is perhaps such a rumor in order to local people there, for example, moved out of the construction site there and left their homes. to settle in them, and who needs to settle in them, the russian military? well, yes, the military, there

are a lot of people in the occupied territory, now there are cases, they are now re-registrating houses and flats on such a temporary housing register, that is, if a person is not there, they simply remove him without the consent of the person. and are re-registered, as, well, as if nationalized, and then given either to immigrants from russia or to the occupiers, so that where should they live, of course, after the deoccupation of the left bank, all this will not work, and people should not worry about the fact that their apartment there will be given to someone and it will belong to him, of course, according to ukrainian legislation, all this is illegal. and it will return to people, but at the moment there are cases when

housing is alienated in this way, although they can still move in, i don’t see a special reason why they do it, they move in anyway they want, even they drive people out of there, and could it be that this is connected with that and that resettlement, that more space is needed, means that more russian soldiers are appearing in the region, yes... well, it is not related to that, it is more related to the fact that they are in those coastal settlements, they they try, well, they do not want to live there, because they are afraid of constant arrivals there, that they will be destroyed there, that is why they stay away from the coast, of course, if there is a large concentration of them there, and those who move away from the coast, from wells, from various settlements, bare pier. including those who depart from them and some part comes from the depths of kherson's

occupied territory, so of course the city is smaller and, well, they all want it or not, as they say, they want to live in comfortable conditions for themselves, they don't want to live together, they want each a separate room, each a separate home, so of course maybe there aren't enough homes for her, although i say so. again they take away people and expel the so-called russian people without the law. thank you, mr. oleksandr, for joining in and telling us about the situation in the occupied part of the kherson region. oleksandr tolokonnikov, spokesman of the kherson region military administration, was a guest of svoboda ranok. russian forces advanced in the reeded direction of avdiiv. most of the village, in particular the central part, was captured. this is reported by the analysts of the dibstate project. fighting continues on the outskirts of the settlement. the advance of the russian army in ocheretino is also confirmed by the american institute for the study of war. there

they say that russian troops captured the railway station, crossed the railway line and advanced. to the north in the center of the village, this is confirmed by the video from the day before were distributed by russian pro-war telegram channels. it shows how the russian military hangs the flag on the building of the ocheretyn military-civilian administration. julian ryobky, a german columnist for the bild newspaper, writes that the ukrainian military successfully held the defense in the reeds for several months, but now for unknown reasons have left their positions. at the same time, he says that russian sources greatly exaggerate the importance of this breakthrough. in the reports of the ukrainian general staff, it is said that they were shelled by artillery and mortars, and in general, in the avda direction, in particular, in the region of ocheretiny, the armed forces of ukraine repelled 18 attacks. the russian ministry of defense has not yet reported on the successes of the russian army in ochereteny. in a week , ten people were evacuated from ochereteny, among them, in particular, two wounded, as well as an 11-year-old woman.

this is reported by the police of the donetsk region. people are being evacuated by the policemen of the bely yan detachment. together with the rescuers of the state emergency service, how it happens, let's see further in the video from the police, they arrived in the city, there was a powerful air attack, the house is on fire, they they knew that there were civilians here, everyone knows how much rubble is in the auditorium, you understand, come on, when are you going to be picked up. when they pick you up, say your husband left everything, documents, things, money, everything is there, who is injured?

where, what, we went too, but he's in the head, but there's nothing like that, but look, let's go to the hospital, there's a wound in the head to take a picture, we have to go too, the two of us probably won't make it, it's cold and hot. on the street, we will put a blanket on top. mykhailo zhirukhov, a military viewer joins our broadcast. michael, congratulations thank you for joining. good morning. i want

to start with the situation at the front, thanks to which the armies of the russian federation advanced into the reeds. is this a major breakthrough in your opinion? well, in my opinion, if the information is confirmed, then it is a very important breakthrough for the russians, and it is already strategic, not at the tactical level, but at the strategic level, because the queue is a railway station, and there are opportunities for the russians to advance on the flanks of our group, and it is very, very dangerous. and this is an unsuccessful rotation on the ukrainian front, because it was written about in that volume among those in social networks, are there really any such effective, well-thought-out actions of the russian army? absolutely correct, these are problems on our side, problems with the combat capability of units, but i have nothing to do with any official statements, well, i will not comment,

because this is a very sensitive topic for our army now, you said that it is strategic and not tactical a breakthrough for the russian forces, and why is this area so important for the russian army, what opportunities does the control of the next one give them, there is perhaps better access to pokrovsk, for example, and this is a flank attack, they did danger from the left flank to our group, which is on the left, and therefore now our command will be forced either to make a ... and very difficult. that is, in your opinion, it is very important to take control, to hold the reeds for the armed forces of ukraine, and if we talk about how this can be done and whether aid from the united states,

which they say is almost on its way to ukraine, it can contribute to this? but not you have to think that the help from the united states, it will come in a day or two and will be absorbed in a week, it's a long process and all these weapons. it is still necessary to accept, transfer the troops, that is, well, this is a very difficult process, the first thing that can be used is missiles, for example, atakamse, which will be transferred, and artillery shells, this will immediately go into battle, and this will significantly improve the situation, but again, their needs still need to be transported, they need to be transferred, well , again, this will also be the transfer of american weapons will begin just this week and i think only at the end of the week and maybe next week, do we have that much time now to

counterattack, well, only time will tell, if we talk more broadly about this big military aid package that the u.s. are preparing for ukraine, there will be armored vehicles, artillery, air defense equipment, this is reported by the publication politiko, zelensky said that ukraine and the usa agreed on the supply of atakams missiles, which you have already... mentioned, against the background of the lack of missiles for air defense, you know that , everything now sounds very positive for kyiv, that such changes, although not in the short term, as you say, but they are still waiting for ukraine, and such help is waiting for ukraine, it will be able to globally stop the advance of the russian forces and the big offensive that the russian forces and according to the words of the head of the ukrainian state, they are preparing for june, well, we will try, of course, there is a general staff... some plans, but in general it will not change, look, on may 16 the law on mobilization will only come into effect, and this does not mean

that on may 17, 200,000 will be mobilized, american weapons will start coming in, but that doesn't mean we'll have enough there in mid-may, bradley, enough shells, they'll be there, but not in full, you have to understand that this... the american aid package, it's scheduled monthly until september, and therefore may, june will be a very difficult period, because the russians also understand that the strengthening of the army is not reversible, and therefore now they have a window of opportunity that they will use, well, 100%. this is how we came to the global one, here is kyrylo budanov v in an interview with the bbc, he said that ukraine is facing a rather difficult situation. in the near future, but it will not be armageddon, tell me, in your opinion, whether it will be difficult only on the front, or whether russian forces will continue to hit

energy facilities and civilian facilities at the same pace as we have seen in recent weeks and months ektakh, what are you waiting for? well, the russians don't have a very large number of rockets and rockets, so they are now faced with a choice: to attack the energy system, to finish off, relatively speaking, the energy system of ukraine. or beat in terms of logistics, that is, in order to transfer this military aid to the front, a railway is needed, and the russians have already demonstrated with the strike on the dnieper that they also understand this, so in the coming days, the coming days will be very difficult and it will be clear where the tactics of the russians, that they will, why will they beat in the first place, and what? regarding the situation in may, in addition to the military one, we can perhaps expect psychological operations as well, we know that russian propaganda has already started

promoting the thesis about the illegitimacy of president zelensky, and i think that these they will promote the thesis even more, although we have far more scandals, fakes thrown in almost every day, and well... i think that ukrainians are already used to such pressure, and more pressure is simply impossible. mykhailo, the president at the stake gave an order to redistribute air defenses where possible to protect civilian infrastructure, and is it possible to redistribute what is missing in order to protect all the necessary strategic objects, or is there still no such thing without additional air defenses, does it make any sense? there is a huge problem here, and i would not like to be on in the place of the air commander... the power of lyschuk, who is faced with the choice of covering strategic military objects, the same railways or weapons production sites, or just that...

free cities, despite the fact that we have a very, well, small number of systems air defense, and the transfer of the event, it will not be instantaneous either, that is why there is political pressure now, i understand the president that he needs to say something to the people who are suffering from blows, for example, in kharkiv every day, every night, but at the same time, more importantly, here's a dilemma that, well... i don't i know how it will be solved, but it is obvious that some proportion, some rigid one, you know, fly, you need to follow such thin red lines, but with the understanding of society to cover the entire territory of ukraine, it is simply physically impossible. thank you , mykhailo, for joining, mykhailo zhirkhov, a military commentator, was a guest of svoboda ranok.

ukraine. will not receive such long-range atakams missiles from the united states, said volodymyr zelenskyy after a conversation with us president joseph biden. zelenskyi emphasized that ukrainian cities are in need patriot systems, and protecting the sky is one of the priorities. in addition to air defense, the biden administration is also preparing armored vehicles and artillery for ukraine. according to politico, citing unnamed us officials, the aid package will be much larger than previous ones. the schedule according to which ukraine will receive weapons from the united states. not made public because it might affect war strategy. however, military aid under the new funding will come, quote: faster than anyone thinks possible. this was said by a member of the committee on foreign affairs affairs of the us house of representatives democrat bill keating the day before during a visit to kyiv. great britain is also preparing an aid package for ukraine. prime minister lichy sunak announced, will announce it during his visit to poland, the british government website writes about it, and it says

that... there will be the largest ever aid package from britain, it will include more than 400 units equipment, including armored vehicles and all-terrain vehicles, 60 boats and naval guns, 1,600 missiles of various types, including additional long-range missiles stormshadow. and the minister of foreign affairs of the european union met in luxembourg to talk about aid to ukraine, in particular about the expansion of air defense. the meeting took place the day before. after the us house of representatives approved the aid package for ukraine, what was agreed upon and whether the allies are ready to provide ukraine with more air defense systems, our correspondent zoryana stepanenko found out. the news from the us made many allies in europe face relief, said the head of lithuanian diplomacy. with gabrielos lansbergis called on the eu countries not to relax, but to seek and find ways to help ukrainians. ukraine is among the topics that

the patriots have at their disposal. and spain and greece. journalists reported that they have more than a dozen such systems in their arsenal and there are others. the leaders of other countries called on the spanish and greek prime ministers to share air defense systems, because there is no direct threat to their countries, in athens, commenting on the article, they said that they had already provided tangible support to ukraine, but noted that they would not take steps that could even remotely to threaten the anti-aircraft defense of greece. head of the ministry of foreign affairs spain yesterday did not directly answer the question whether ma is considering the possibility of transferring air defense systems to ukraine, saying he prefers not to provide unnecessary details. the ukrainian ministers of defense and foreign affairs called on their colleagues to make concrete and bold decisions by video link and warned that one should not relax from the news from the congress. on friday , ukraine's partners will gather for another meeting in the ramshteim format, the purpose of which is to help it with weapons and discuss what efforts in this direction will be intensified and how.
