homeland security jake sullivan. he did not provide details, nor did he provide a list of items that will be included in the new package. however , he noted that american military aid is already in ukraine. some of this equipment is already on display, some will appear on display this week. i don't want to say that all the billion dollar equipment is on the battlefield, but what you will see is constant. flowed week after week. a powerful explosion rang out in kharkiv in the morning, as the mayor said igor terekhov flew by in the kyiv district, where there are many high-rise buildings. currently, there are no data on the victims. the investigation of the impact site is ongoing. experts will still find out what exactly kharkiv was hit with. and the defense forces of ukraine repelled 13 enemy attacks during the day in the kharkiv direction.

for today, you know, the beginning of the information day, well, not to immerse yourself in

information, not to follow what is happening in ukraine and the world, and all that is happening on the front, well, it is literally impossible, i think, for all conscious citizens of ukraine , in this mode, the marathon mode, we live not only journalists, not only us media representatives, but also of course you, our viewers, who of course want to be keep abreast of events and in this way influence the situation in the world. increase, because the fate of the entire world and the democratic world, in particular, to which ukraine belongs, is largely being decided in ukraine today. so, today we consider the 811 days of the russian large-scale invasion to be our sad cure, but there is also good news, of course, we will also talk about them today, and we will start with a roll call of the regions, and this is the front-line chernihiv region, which, i am sure, is now carefully watching events in kharkiv, where rather unexpectedly russian troops. intervened with that side of the front, which was not hoped for until the end. mr. oleksiy, we congratulate

you. oleksiy maslov, contact us. greetings , good morning. how is the morning in chernihiv oblast, what is the situation now, how was the night? an alarming situation, as always, as, unfortunately, always, during this time of a full-scale invasion. and, er, that the days are shelling. the enemy of the border community and during the past day there was shelling with cluster munitions in the city of snovsk, which is the center of the border community of snovsk, which borders the russian federation, so during this shelling there was four people were injured, such information is currently available, about 10 houses in this city were damaged. damaged cars, there are other damages, and here i am saying, four civilians were injured,

two women and two men, public journalists went there, talked to witnesses of this shelling, this shelling happened yesterday around 11 o'clock in the morning, and once again we see that this blow was struck, well, in the border community, the enemy cannot fail to see, cannot fail to know. where he shoots, especially with the use of the use of these, obviously, reactive systems of salvo fire, among other things, in the fact that it was the rszzvs that were used, russians or pro-russian contributors in social networks actually admit to this, i follow some of them, they wrote like that, and almost cynically, they are almost ashamed that they are writing that today... the chernihiv region, for example, chernihiv and sumy, were shelled with anti-aircraft missiles, at the moment they wrote

exactly the resource i am talking about, and this resource is preserved, if possible to name schizophrenic, so is the structure of the consciousness of these people, on the one hand, they are in these same resources, they write about, whisper, one might say, about the fact that we do not strike, russian troops do not strike at the civilian population, but only where there is military...objects and right away they write that we are shelling the chernihiv region with mlrs, that's what they write, but if we talk about the threat level in general, then of course...that it is high, no need, no you need to lull yourself, let's say, with some such things detached from reality, recently, relatively military analyst kostyantyn mashovets wrote that according to his calculations and according to his data, the grouping of troops that we call the north is actually

russian, located along the northern and northeastern border of ukraine. russia, then several more are concentrated there on the part of the enemy, it is conditionally possible to single out a few more subgroups, and one of them is the one located on the territory of the bryansk region and , accordingly, not far from the borders of chernihiv oblast with russia, so he roughly determines the number of enemy troops there , it's close 8,500 personnel, and of course military equipment, that is, we must be prepared for all kinds of provocations and open attacks, this is unlikely, well, simply from the point of view of a healthy population, it is unlikely level 22 invasion , but nevertheless the shelling we see happening now. chernivtsi region remembers

not a short, but terrible period of occupation in the 22nd year, when almost the entire region was captured. except for the big cities, which were kept in a deaf defense, it is now a lesson of what is happening in the kharkiv region, what is it like for chernihiv, is there much talk now, are there enough fortifications, what are the opinions on this now? yes, now there is a lot of talk about it, a lot of discussion on social networks and a view, let's say, very critical, let's call it that. that is, i would first of all highlight those statements that belong to, well, people who are more or less competent, that is, they are military, or people who have combat experience, or active volunteers who constantly cooperate with the military, that is, they understand more or less what they talk and write about is the experience of kharkiv oblast and the experience

of this invasion across the border and nearby. and other settlements near kharkiv itself, then this forces us to rethink what is in chernihiv oblast, and there are a lot of such opinions or demands to revise in general what was said about the level of training right here in chernihiv oblast, about the level , in particular fortifications and mining, i.e. is the territory of chernihiv oblast sufficiently fortified in case of such incidents. or invasions of the enemy, that is, we have heard assurances many times during this time that the territory of chernihiv oblast is sufficiently fortified, but, as the contributors i am talking about note, we have heard the same about kharkiv oblast, but we see , that not everything was like that, not quite everything was like that, to say the least,

as reality has shown, now a lot of voices are heard and posts are seen about the fact that... that after all, some kind of more thorough control is needed, that is, there is such a paradox here , which on the one hand we have to believe undoubtedly the military, we have to trust the military and political leadership, but when we see that reality does not always coincide with their statements, then we need to somehow rethink all of this, and how exactly this is already a question for the whole society, for its institution as a whole , visited chernihivska? region zuzana chapotova, the president of slovakia at the end of her term, visited chernihiv oblast, how was her visit, what was it about? yes, zuzana chaputova visited chernihiv oblast, indeed, and the fact is that slovakia, like many other countries are partners, not

only specifically, not only of the whole of ukraine, but also specifically of the chernihiv region. and zuzana chaputova mentioned, mentioned, and the participants of this meeting also mentioned all the moments of help from slovakia, including slovakia, and it was especially emphasized that this country provided us with help in the form of modular towns for people who lost their homes as a result of russia's military aggression, and accordingly, that is, aid. first of all, the twist, as we now see on the video, is the visit of one from the modular towns of these, which were provided with the help of slovak partners, and this is one of the main directions of such assistance was provided , well, in fact, in all conceivable directions of history. well, mr. oleksii, thank you very much for the conversation, oleksii maslov, a journalist

from chernihiv was in touch with us, thank you for this conversation and we wish a peaceful day to all residents of chernihiv and the region, now we will go for a short break and then visit kherson region. the main event of world boxing , only for the first time the invincible usyk and fury will determine the first absolute since 2000 heavyweight champion of the world. cheer for the ukrainian on may 18 exclusively on mego. fm. galicia listen to yours. kratal contains

, 10 settlements in the right-bank kherson region were shelled , including in kherson more than 10 private houses, one multi-apartment, there is damage to private cars, power lines, yesterday, unfortunately, a man died in kyzomys, the throne flew in. according to the previous one information, the house caught fire, and the man, unfortunately, died in the house, as well as another victim in the engineer's truck, and in total, two victims who were injured, one, one, unfortunately, died as a result of russian aggression, and mr. oleksandr,

mykhailo drapaty, a general who helped liberate kherson oblast two years ago, less than two years ago, became the head of the new forces in the kharkiv direction, and what can you say about that, maybe you are familiar with general drapaty? yes, i know the general personally, and he is a very respectable person here in the kherson region, and in principle in the military circle, i am sure of this. i gave my life to this man, he takes care of himself and commands himself, if i served in the armed forces, he is really such a person with a capital letter and letters, and here he is very well respected among the military and among such people even soldiers, he constantly communicates, communicated , i have never been here

exactly... from the bottom to the top so far, so he is a very respectable person among the army, it is interesting about drapatov that he actually became the head of the kharkiv direction now, starting in the 14th year as a battalion commander of the 72nd glorious separate mechanized brigade, and it was he who participated in the liberation of mariupol in the 14th year and more. since then he proved himself very well, then he studied at the military academy itself and eventually became already during this war, the great war, he rose to the rank of brigade commander, and then the commander of the entire front, well, i still wanted to ask about the situation with in

the dnieper delta. on the bridgehead, what can you say about the activities of the ukrainian marines, from the fact that what is known well, apart from what is known, unfortunately, i can't say much, this is more a question for the military, we know that our soldiers continue to hold, continue to destroy the enemy, who is constantly attacking, for nothing, this piece of land, and... a lot of russians died there, who are constantly trying to carry out meat assaults, and there is also a lot of equipment, as it remains there, they cannot take it, because our operators of unmanned aerial vehicles and artillery constantly destroy the enemy who tries to approach, well, of course those guys who are there, they are too

constantly destroy the enemy on ours. from informal conversations, what comes out, from official publications there in the same new york times, for example, we know that the bridgehead itself is on the left bank, it enjoys a bad reputation among marines, and obviously everything is absolutely logical and understandable in principle, there is no normal way to get there and there is no normal way to get there with a report, for example, wounded, and they often say: that it is a one-way ticket, one-way, and therefore we still do not know who lost us, we all understand that in the russians suffered great losses, which losses in us, at what price is this bridgehead obtained and what is the logic of obtaining it now? in your opinion, should we ask this question to the command and hope, or are we right to ask such questions to the command and hope for some clear answers.
