of defense of the russian federation for spreading falsehoods about the situation in biloghirivka, luhansk region, this was noticed by analysts of the american institute for the study of war, as well as the rybariv telegram channel. writes that the statement of the russian ministry of defense regarding the complete capture of belogorivka is a lie and indicates that the russian forces are carrying out a political task there - to reach the borders of the luhansk region, but this does not change the objective reality on the battlefield. another telegram channel of the former instructor of the storm z detachment in post about bilogorivka, reprimanded the new minister of defense of russia, andrii bilousov , with his own phrase, that they say you can be wrong, but not lying. let me remind you that it is about complete admiration. on may 20, the russian ministry of defense announced that it was logorivka. the general staff of ukraine did not comment on this statement, but the team of the monitoring channel deepstate immediately denied it and called it false. i would like to note that in the latest report of the general staff, it is indicated that a battle is going on near bilogorivka, and the luhansk

military administration says that the situation in bilogorivka remains under control. the settlement is under the control of the armed forces of ukraine. meanwhile, in occupied luhansk the other day. explosions rang out, the head of luhansk ova, artem lysokhor, reported two hits. the first, allegedly in the jubilee village in the suburbs of luhansk. in local chats, as lysogor says, residents wrote that... at the site of the shooting, a military camp was set up in the middle of civilian buildings, at the same time , the telegram channel tribune wrote with reference to eyewitnesses about the shooting on the territory of the luhansk state university of internal affairs named after didorenko . second hit in dovzhansk, according to the reports of the head of luhansk ova , a warehouse with sleeping lubricants was burning, and according to lysohor, this is already the third destroyed object in the occupied territory of luhansk region. where processing products for the troops of the russian federation were stored. the ukrainian

general staff reported on three affected russian forces in the kramatorsk direction, without specifying where exactly. artem lysogor, head of the luhansk regional military administration joins our broadcast. i congratulate you, thank you for joining in, artem, and i want to ask you right away about these hits that were announced the other day, is there any additional information, how effective they were for... the armed forces of ukraine and inferior and how much damage they caused to the russian forces? good morning, indeed, i will start with bilogorivka, the situation is really very difficult, yesterday we saw this video, but so that you understand, this situation is not only in bilogorivka, this is also the case in our kremin forestry and terne nevske, this is the entire direction of the enemy constantly is shelling, now it is going to belogorivka aggravation, the situation, but it is controlled by our armed forces, indeed the enemy has tried to do this several times before. the rniv direction to attack with columns and such, shall we say, meat assaults with the support of heavy

artillery, and for the third day is trying to storm bilogorovka, but our guys are standing there, inflicting good damage on the aggressor and fulfilling their assigned tasks, as for those arrivals, let's say yes, which took place in luhansk, the armed forces really worked very well, because logistical the ways that... is used by russia, including in luhansk region, to accumulate forces, this was indeed such a challenge, the accumulation of fuel, the accumulation of artillery ammunition, including the missile type, they were accumulated at separate bases, according to the available information, on the present time destroys the oil storage facilities that were there, storage bases, including one military equipment base near them, destroyed, unfortunately, we note the destruction of buildings in our occupied territories, but... this is inflicting irreparable damage on the enemy, and these buildings we we will rebuild, it was indeed a very successful

operation, what concerns the luhansk university of internal affairs, indeed, since 2014 the enemy has chosen that territory, at first the mgb was stationed there, then other units were flocked there, there was once even the headquarters of one of the units, on the current at the time , a very large number of officers were actually accumulating there in those houses that you showed in the video, and let's say this, it goes... what special services of russia were also accumulating there. lesion according to our previous information, what we received from people was very significant. the special services, the russian special services, who are there, were very angry, because the defeat really, as we understand it, took place very well, the fact that they dispersed people there, that the strike was on the civilian population, does not correspond to reality at all, people also they see it, we monitor both the public and receive information from our... people, and the blow was really very good, i will ask about belogorivka then,

you say that the situation there is under control, we understand that it is difficult, but if we talk about that, and what is the motive, why the russian forces announced the capture of this settlement, you know, we seem to be from this, we have been facing this since the 14th year, and since the 22nd year, they constantly announce the capture of this or that settlement , they need to show people victories, because we see that... for example, in luhansk region, yes, all the hospitals that were, all the morgues that were, and now the hospitals have already been converted into morgues, under morgues, they are simply clogged as the dead, moreover, this is in spite of everything that the enemy more than 50% of his dead, he simply does not take away from the battlefield, you and i regularly see videos, both of the russian invaders and our guys, about the number of personnel that russia loses and just throws there, including hospitals filled with shunts wounded, because in order not to do, let's say hysteria in white. where the enemy tries to attack our kharkiv oblast, they take almost all the wounded to luhansk oblast, and that is why

we now have these hospitals in the occupied territories, they are simply overcrowded, provided, let's say yes, primary medical aid and they are trying to send further, further, further anger, we understand that this is done in order not to cause some kind of hysteria in belgrade, because the columns are going, the columns are being wiped off the face of the earth by our soldiers, and they are simply being sent , but you and i must understand that probably even 50%, i said too much, that... now our guys are showing what we see, even the russian invaders are posting their t-tok videos there, yes, when they walk 200 m, pass through the ravines, they say, we are zelenka today they released more than 200 of their corpses... i live with the fact that it was a small stronghold of our soldiers who heroically held this landing and retreated, and the battles for which settlements in luhansk region are still going on and which of them are under the control of kyiv officially, and do you agree that the russian forces are now carrying out a task from their authorities, such a political task can also be to capture the entire luhansk region, after all, well,

this task was before the new year, then, when they actively pressured on ternivskyi. direction to direction nevsky, also in the direction of the donetsk region, were very actively pressed, then they were actively affected, they lost full-fledged brigades, when they broke into, let's say, the defensive positions of our soldiers, after that they were assigned a task there for february 23, now the task was set for may 9, and the enemy is constantly trying, they really have plans to knock out our forces from the territory of the luhansk region, we will occupy 15 settlements for the time being . unfortunately, there are hostilities in nine of them, unfortunately, three settlements there are almost none, they are, let’s say, erased from the face of the earth, including you can see exactly what is happening with belogorivka, but belogorivka is an absolute height, our soldiers understand this, they hold it, really, i already said , deal good damage to the enemy, but you can see that the enemy does not shy away from anything, and we do not

see on the video the arrivals of the toss, and the hailstones work constantly, but this is only one moment and... at one point, let's say so, the white mountain , the same situation is similar to our guys who are standing in kreminsk forestry, in our units, the national guard, the border guards who stand on our strip and in the armed forces, the situation is similar, well, in principle, look, if we are now seeing such strikes on the positions of our defenders, so that you understand, on those populated areas , where we still have our citizens, 55 people, where we are constantly working with them, for yesterday there were 57 strikes, of which... we are now sorting out four of some kind of rockets, we are now sorting it out, i hope that these were hailstorms, and not something more, shall we say, powerful, 47 120-caliber mortar shells, including a destroyed tank, two drones were dropped on nevsky, now four houses have been destroyed there, but they were already damaged and destroyed before, to our joy,

there are no victims, thank god, and wounded too , despite the very difficult situation with the approaches to those populated... places, precisely logistical, because yesterday our policemen and our representatives of the administration came in, they came under fire for damage, but thank god, all the live targets slipped through in time, but the logistical ways now have been very active for the army troops, they are trying to strike also in all logistics so that we cannot provide people with the necessary means, well, of course, so that the military cannot ensure its stability on the defense line by some other logistical means, however... fully aware of the situation, the armed forces calculated this situation, understood that there would be an onslaught in exactly which directions, and stood firm, let's say, such an onslaught was expected, as i understand it, and from the russian forces. thank you, mr. artyom, for joining in and telling us about the situation luhansk region artem lysohor, head of the luhansk regional military administration, was a guest on saturday morning. the hottest direction for

the armed forces of ukraine on the front line, now pokrovsky, so they say in the general staff, here in some areas the situation in... requires the ukrainian troops to conduct a maneuver, that is how they explain the situation on the battlefield in the summary of the ukrainian general staff as of 10 p.m. on the eve. during the day, there were 37 assaults by russian forces there, the russian army stormed 15 times in the area from ochereteny, novooleksandrivka, kalinovy ​​progress eugenivka also, the forces of the russian federation are trying to break through the defenses in the novoselyvka, persha, northern and netailovo areas. the russian army is also advancing in the direction of kuraf. from krasnohorivka and maryinka - this is to the south of the pokrovsky direction. and in the area of ​​chasovoy yar, the activity of the russian army is increasing, says the press officer of the roman dashkevich 26th artillery brigade, oleg kalashnikov. on the air of our colleagues from radio donbas reali. so, according to him , the armed forces of the armed forces of ukraine are now being attacked by the maximum number of cabs, that is, controlled ones air bomb the military re-investigated them both on

the city of chasiv yar itself and on the defense positions of the armed forces of ukraine. in addition, according to... kalashnikov, the forces of the russian federation are intensifying artillery action. analysts of the american institute for the study of war, meanwhile, notice that the russian army has intensified its efforts to seize the time gap, taking advantage of the offensive in the kharkiv region. analysts note that from an operational point of view, the capture of the temporal ravine is important for the russian army, as it would provide the russian troops with advantageous positions for further offensive operations to kostyantynivka and drushkivka, the bridges that form the southern part. of the ukrainian defense belt, which is the basis of ukraine's defense in the donetsk region. and a group of us congressmen turned to the head of the pentagon lloyd. guest with a call to allow ukraine to use western weapons for strikes on the territory of russia. the open letter was placed on the page of the intelligence committee of the us house of representatives on the x network

. ukraine insists on this as well. by the way, dmytro kuleba, after meeting with his german colleague, annalyna burbok, argued that death and destruction are coming to ukraine from russia, from the territory of russia, but there is still no agreement among the western allies regarding the use of their weapons for strikes against russia. radio liberty correspondent zoryana stepanenko will talk about red lines and the chances of their disappearance. long-range weapons are accompanied by political restrictions outlined by the borders of ukraine. the vast majority of its key partners do not encourage strikes with their weapons on targets on russian territory, trying to avoid escalation. and ukraine is now trying to erase it these red lines. the fact of negotiations with partners about the use of their assistance for strikes on russian military equipment on... arguments in favor of greater freedom

of action for the ukrainian military were also presented by the head of ukrainian diplomacy the day before. if someone thinks we should be in a position, well, won't we be in a weak position and sit and wait for death to come for us? then you will not wait for our death or our weakness, and it is better to be on the side of ukraine, because the more we can destroy military, i emphasize, military targets on the territory of the russian federation, the sooner this war will end with the victory of ukraine. as journalists , the ukrainian minister spoke with a german colleague who visited kyiv yesterday at seven o'clock, and... berbuk was also addressed with this question, but she left it without an answer. previously , the traditionally cautious berlin agreed that for self-defense ukraine could strike on

the aggressor's territory and opposed the use of german weapons as a tool for attacks. this approach is now being called for change in france. head of the committee on foreign affairs of the french parliament wrote a letter to the country's leadership with a call to lift the taboo on strikes on targets in russia with french weapons. the united states still maintain the taboo. the wall street journal recently reported that ukraine appealed to washington with a request to allow american weapons to be used against military targets in the russian federation, and the white house stated that the position of weapons from the united states should be used only for defense and within the borders of ukraine. the same expectations were confirmed in the pentagon the other day. we expect them to will continue to use the provided weapons for purposes in ukraine. i think. they should focus on melee and make sure they hit targets that will be successful in melee. you know that this was our position before, and this will remain my

opinion in the future. the american institute for the study of war believes that the russian attack on the kharkiv region is a consequence, in particular, of western rules regarding the geography of the use of weapons. the french publication lomont also wrote that ukraine saw a concentration of forces the enemy along the border. however... it was unable to pre-emptively strike at them, of ukraine's leading allies , only britain did not publicly object to the use of its weapons for purposes in russia. from brussels, zoryan stepanenko, marek hajduk, radio liberty. and we are talking about the topic that was announced at the beginning, and the fact that russia is encroaching on the baltic sea, it looks like this. write in the comments, by the way, your thoughts about this news, and now we will talk about it in detail. so russia unilaterally wants to change the maritime borders with lithuania and finland, the publication writes. russia unilaterally wants to change the maritime borders with lithuania and finland. the moscow times writes about it. referring to

the government resolution published on the portal of legal acts of the russian federation. this document was prepared by the ministry of defense of russia. and it says that russia is going to declare a part of the water area in the east of the gulf of finland, as well as near the cities of baltiysk and zelenogradsk in the kaliningrad region, as its internal territory. on the border with finland, the government of the russian federation intends to adjust the coordinates near a number of islands, as well as near the northern entrance cape of the narva river, on the border with lithuania , the area of ​​the curonian spit in the gulf of gdańsk, the areas of teran cape, and the baltic spit came under review. i would like to add that the resolution of the russian federation appeared at the same time as the training on the use of tactical nuclear weapons began in the southern military district of the russian federation with the participation of the iskander and aviar complexes. the document on border review has not yet been officially commented on by the ministry of foreign affairs of finland, nor in lithuania. and what it can mean, we will

talk further. pavlo lekichuk, head of security. programs of the center for global studies strategy 21 joined our broadcast. pavle, congratulations, thank you for joining. good morning, glory to ukraine. glory is the hero, but how to evaluate the decision of the russian authorities to unilaterally change the maritime borders with lithuania and finland in the baltic sea. this is an escalation, this is some formality, what is it? well, the first thing is to try to escalate. the russians, after joining... the atlantic alliance of sweden and finland, as a matter of fact, got into a kind of blockade in the baltic sea, where they have access only to the gulf of finland from the side of st. petersburg and a piece of the leningrad region, and the coast of the kaliningrad enclave, this is the kaliningrad region, which stalin will capture. from the germans,

east prussia is kaliningrad and a number of towns, as well as crimea, the kaliningrad region is used by the russians as such a military, military training ground, a military bridgehead to europe, the first thing is the main base of the baltic fleet and the entire group of forces that are there at this time the contribution is included, it is both the ground forces and the air force, well... this is a very specific analogy, and when the russians annexed our crimea, the crimean peninsula in 2014, they declared crimea and the territorial waters around it their own territories, and also after 20, in the spring in the 22nd year, they declared that their own

territorial waters are... the sea of ​​azov is inside, they declared the internal waters of the russian federation, which changes, on the one hand, each state is free to determine the territorial sea according to its constitution, but also in accordance with international law of the sea, if you answer the questions... international law and objections, the world community is not against this, it is normal, and what the russians are doing now is such a provocation, a deliberate provocation in the baltic, because they have nothing to respond to the actions of the europeans on strengthening security in the baltic sea, when finland and sweden wanted to join an alliance with the aim of...

ensuring their own security, the russians threw a lot of threats and insults into the air, well, it turned out that they really shouted into a vacuum, nothing came of these threats followed, and what they don't really know what to do, well, here's another provocation, now the declared part of international waters as their own territorial waters, the russians know that most of the world's states are concerned, especially the coastal states, especially powerful ones like britain, like denmark, like holland, as states, after all, they are very sensitive to freedom of navigation, and to the same americans who are closely watching the events in southeast asia, where ky...

claims a whole series of neutral seas, international waters, and here russia in the baltic declares the international waters of its own water area, of course, the reaction to this will be negative, the russians will count on it, pavle, but does russia have the resources to do something in addition to the decision on paper and... and how should it respond then each of these countries, and these are nato countries, but should nato also have to give an answer for this, so what should happen? well, it is not necessary to declare a certain water area as one's own territorial waters, you don't need a lot of umag, actually speaking, the russians have border ships, they will create now when... border

incidents, well that's...
