a moment of silence for those ukrainians whose lives were cut short by russian aggression, so please, wherever you are, remember all those, as each of you already has quite a list of those who, unfortunately, are no longer with us. let's honor with a moment of silence the memory of the ukrainian military and peaceful citizens of ukraine, who... died in the war that was unleashed by russia.

the russian army continues to press in all directions, but the armed forces of ukraine are restoring their positions in the kharkiv region, does this mean that the russian offensive has already reached its climax and... slipped. meanwhile, the russian military publishes photos and videos of tricolors in chasovoy yar in donetsk region on social networks and declares the occupation of zaporizhzhya, but the armed forces do not confirm this, so what exactly is happening at the front. but azov was allowed to use american weapons. how will this strengthen the front, we ask the soldiers. this is svoboda ranok, my name is kateryna nekrecha, join us, we're getting started. russian troops about... continue the offensive at the time of yar, but

confirmed changes on the front line during the last the day was not recorded, the american institute for the study of war reports, and the analysts of this institute also do not see confirmation that the russian army captured a significant part of the eastern region of the chasvoy yar called kanal, which russian pro-war bloggers claimed the day before. nazar voloshyn, the spokesman for the operational-strategic group of the khortets troops of the armed forces of ukraine, says that the russian military has hours. there is no yar, although they are trying to advance through the eastern neighborhoods of kanal and novy. that's where they are they record a video with hanging tricolors and from there broadcast information about the alleged capture of the time ravine, so says voloshyn. however, the defense forces of ukraine hold the city. in confirmation of this, the ground forces of ukraine showed a video of the destroyed russian flag, as well as the flag of the airborne troops of russia in a temporary state the day before. yaru, the frames were signed with the words chasiv

yaru is ukraine. the spokesperson of the operative group, the strategic group of khorteets, also denied the information about the capture of ivanovsky, this village to the southeast of temporary yar. on the eve of the capture of ivanovsky by the russian military , the analysts of the deep state project were informed. on their map, the settlement is completely occupied. the russian ministry of defense does not write about the capture of ivanovsky, only about... improving the tactical situation, but the russian military wrote about its occupation back in march, which was later denied by the ukrainian military. i mentioned that the general staff of ukraine says that the situation in this direction of the kramatorsk front is tense. there were 10 attacks in the last day russian troops. in the latest summary of the russian ministry of defense, they do not mention the time. kyrylo sazonov, political scientist, military man, joins our broadcast. an employee

of the armed forces of ukraine of the 41st separate mechanized brigade. congratulations, kirill, thank you for joining. glad to see you, good morning, glory to ukraine. glory to each other's heroes. mr. kirill, so chasiv yar and ivanovske, tell me what the situation is like there, who controls ivanovsky or the deep state, they wrote and marked it as an occupied settlement, the spokesmen of the direction, the spokesman of the direction denies what is really going on? i send you greetings from the ukrainian chasovoyar, a ukrainian city in the ukrainian donbas, it was so and so it will be and so it is now. yes, very powerful battles are taking place near ivanovsky and around ivanovsky, you understand, there is no such continuous front line as in the first world war, for example, there are 1000 km and we can see every position, separate groups can bypass, break through, in ivanovsky itself they are battles, so yesterday, somewhere in the evening, a tank broke through... from the position of our guys,

the enemy landed a landing force, out of five, out of five paratroopers, three were destroyed at once, two were divided somewhere, that is, they are constantly climbing, but the ivans... our nazar voloshin personally emphasized this yesterday, he has the whole picture, the whole information about khortytsy, uh, so siviaru, a ukrainian city and yes, well , we have already heard about the fact that they took it, we have been here since the end of march, the kupyansk 41st brigade was transferred here, because it is very difficult here the situation was that i had already heard about the fact that the slave was surrounded 10 times, that is, i went to konstakha, loaded something, unloaded it, came back, the guys say, but how did you pass, we are surrounded. i say how we are surrounded, what is happening, they say, well, yes, on russian channels they say that we have already been surrounded, well, i don’t know, i didn’t see it, they shoot like that, but they don’t reach the encirclement, small groups break through, the microdistrict channels , it is new to the neighborhood, but so you understand, i have already put photos from this neighborhood in the telegram channel, there is destruction,

bricks and, sorry, rotten teeth , separate high-rise buildings with nothing on them left, almost all of them... destroyed, the enemy has been storming for about three days, very hard, constantly storming, you can see from the official reports, no one even says that the attacks have been repulsed, they say that the battles continue, because one turns into another, the attack was completed, the assault was stopped, the shelling began again, cabs are flying, aviation missiles are flying, arta works, unfortunately, it works very hard, when sontsepok and pinocchio work, these are such thermobaristic ammunition, ours respond, our arta in the 41st brigade is very works powerfully, works. our cities our heimers are working on objects, on targets in donetsk region, in luhansk region, closer to the rear, on warehouses, on workshops, on their logistics , our drones, pilots are working, in fact, there is such a problem with this micro-ran kanal, he that side of the real

siberian donets-donbass canal, which is a very important obstacle in the way of enemy equipment, that is, equipment can reach the canal and in the south they approach it... but they reach the canal, the equipment cannot overcome it, there is no water there , but this is a concrete extension, all the same, the equipment stops and our crews drones immediately strike at it, that is why battles are raging in the channel, separate groups break through while large assaults are underway, infiltrate, catch them, destroy them, our attack aircraft work, our mortars work on those who break through, the task is simple: to destroy the enemy as much as possible in the ideals of all who walk while they are within range of the arty. unfortunately, there were more projectiles of rockets and mines, it would have been possible to do it 99%, now it is less, someone breaks through, our infantrymen meet him, mortars work again, if we lose a trench, some position, our mines fly there,

stormtroopers come in, they clear it, we work like this, ukrainian times, it is under our control, and no matter what they say there, that they don’t disperse, it remains ours, there is... dad, they are actually grinding their offensive the potential is very fast, it is very noticeable by the number of burned equipment and by the number of two that they leave on the battlefield, yesterday i did not have time to write, this morning i already wrote that they destroyed the enemy mortar 240mm self-propelled mortar tulip, such a very powerful weapon russia, she is considered quite rare, i say, it becomes even rarer because it was destroyed right here during the time. he, near turetsk on june 6, another tulip was destroyed, i.e. two tulips for putin, we have here since the time of yar from ukrainian, we can hand them over, if they take them away, the guys also destroyed a rather powerful, quite expensive

borysovlebsk-2 radar installation nearby, i.e. the enemy is here loses a lot, and chasivar's assaults are not fun for him, but very, very, very expensive both in terms of people and equipment. kirill, you said about that. that there is a lack of equipment, in general, if there are weapons, if compared to what period and whether weapons from western partners have arrived in recent weeks, those that may have been delayed there, or have not yet arrived, where, how many, what kind of weapons are coming, this is of course a big a military secret, that's why i only know what i have, i don't know what anyone has nearby and when it will be, well, you understand that it's not advertised, it's only later that we tell when it happened, objectively , now the situation is... better than in march, better, unfortunately, worse than in june last year, there were more projectiles then, we hope that the situation is worse now than it will be in a week or two, we expect that there will be more projectiles, more rockets, more mines, and

also if in may they really did more on mobilization than in the last four months, then in a month or two there will be reinforcements, we will work, let them pour their forces into our defense for the time being, and... then the reinforcements will come, they will train in the 41st brigade, that here we have our own small training grounds , there will be more shells, artillery, let's get ready and say hello to donetsk throats that waited. thank you kyrylo, thank you also for the concise answers to these questions about the number of weapons and the detailed situation description of the situation in the temporary yar in ivanivsk kyrylo sazonov, political scientist, now a serviceman of the armed forces of ukraine of the 41st separate mechanized brigade was a guest of svoboda ranok . thank you. in the comments, by the way, be sure to write your questions and your observations, perhaps you are related to the front and can give your opinion. say, or listen to some military experts and heard interesting assessments and interesting thoughts,

be sure to write in the comments under this video. next, we talk about the zaporozhye direction, where the russian army has intensified its offensive since the beginning of june. in the ukrainian general staff, in the latest summaries, it is written that the russian army is trying to move the units of the armed forces of ukraine from their occupied positions here in the orihiv direction, that the village of robo has not passed into the gray zone, that is, it is not controlled by either the ukrainian or the russian military, he recently reported maj. zsu, deputy battalion commander of the 65th taras brigade mikhalchuk. according to him, the ukrainian military is keeping defense in the trenches, because there are no houses in this village anymore. the report of the american institute for the study of war for the past 24 hours states that the front line in the robotynoye area has not changed, but they write that positional battles continue near the village of kupania to the northwest of robotynoye, novoprokopivka, which is further south, in the verbovoye area, east of worked and small. machka and charivny to the northeast. i would like to add that the russian army is

already trying to capture the village of robotino in the zaporizhzhia region year, although already in may the russian ministry of defense announced that it had already captured the robot. this is a village that was already occupied since the beginning of the full-scale invasion and which the armed forces liberated during the counteroffensive in august 23rd . there are no people or houses left in the village. mykola koval, press officer of the 14th brigade of the national guard, joins our broadcast. chervona kalyna of ukraine, lieutenant colonel, welcome to our broadcast, mr. mykola, thank you for joining. tell us how the work in the zaporizhzhia direction looks like now, and whether it is in the entire zone, whether it is occupied, because the forces of the russian federation announced its capture back in may, but there is no official confirmation from the armed forces of ukraine. well, in general, the works are not that, as you know and have seen, they are completely destroyed, by russian forces, they are always as much as possible. but they clean everything from the earth, they destroy everything that lives, and

even if there may be some civilians there, they destroy everything, under what control, it is under our fire control, you can say so, it is very important, because we control the robot, and it more like almost already in the gray zone, but our control... it is very important that we can also see their movements, their possibilities of some kind of assaults there, and with the help of aerial reconnaissance we can see them, detect them, and it is much easier for us to fully control this settlement, and how would you describe the general situation in the zaporozhye region, have the offensive actions of the russian federation intensified in recent weeks? i would say that they, as they were, there are no such highly

active assault actions, large-scale, but they are every day, non-stop, around the clock, several times, they stormed our positions, tried to recapture their lost positions that we had taken, well, i will say that they changed their tactics a little, maybe not even a little, maybe, maybe a lot... because they understood that if using the technique is difficult or armored, they can’t do it, because, i repeat, reconnaissance and half-drones, our pilots, and artillery are constantly destroying everything that can move or on the approach to our positions, that is, they realized that the equipment cannot be used rationally, and began to use small groups , several each a man, and so several men round the clock. two or three times, it even happens five times a day, they storm our positions,

several men each, there are not just some mobilized or untrained fighters, there are professional and cadre servicemen of the armed forces of the russian federation, and they, they know , what to do and very skillful, i will tell you, even disguise, they have now started. also understand that we detect and destroy them both at night and during the day, and they begin to work a little on their camouflage, especially at night. mykola, that is, it is not her the situation that sounds. earlier in other directions, when the russian forces were simply thrown away in order to save armored vehicles again, what are you talking about, these assault groups were thrown away, and whoever survives there, runs to the position or returns, will survive, these are more professionally trained groups , you say, they are already disguising themselves there, the approach is more professional, so they are more professional, and i want

to emphasize the fact that earlier they launched such meat assaults. a lot of personnel and equipment were allocated, but this is for sure due to the fact that they are such stormtroopers, not stormtroopers, but these massive groups of meat, they probed somewhere, somewhere they discovered or wanted to discover our weak points, because i understand that we stand, well, in such an active defense, and it is very difficult to reach us. to go and it is necessary to identify some weak points, and they are such large groups, we destroyed even 10, 30 people at a time and they kept going, now they realized that it was no longer effective, and changed their tactics, but they still do not succeed, because as i say, we control, control robot, specifically with fire, that is, we

see how on the palm of the robot, we conduct. reconnaissance and artillery works immediately on the specified goals, well, regarding the use of half-drones by the enemy, they have not reduced their number, they are also increasing their strength and they use drones on a very, very large scale, well, we do not stop at this either, and our pilots are skilled in using them , because before we had a deficit, and now, although there are a lot more of them, we have learned... to use them, as they say, so accurately and for the purpose, and this is for us, this is our priority, ugh, analysts say that the russian army is transferring reinforcements to this direction through mariupol, do you notice that the russian forces have received reinforcements, and maybe it is because of these soldiers there, as you say, who are more experienced there, they are from other directions, which you have information about this, with regard to

the reinforcements in there is some movement, some on... what kind of rotation they have, but large-scale reinforcements in the thousands have not yet been observed, well , you will immediately understand that every day, every hour, the situation on the battlefield, it's a war, it can't be alone all the time, yes, in principle, the situation doesn't change for a month, but it can change both from our side and from their side, and that's about it. .. you need to pay very close attention and not relax and constantly work, scout and destroy the enemy, do not let him advance, do not give, and the infantry, i will say, works under difficult conditions, they have great respect, they hold the first all boundaries and do not allow the enemy to pass, this is very , very important. mykola, thank you, thank you

mykola koval, senior officer of the 14th brigade of the national guard of ukraine, chervona kalina, joined and told about the situation in the zaporozhye region. the lieutenant colonel was a guest of svoboda ranok. i remind you that you can subscribe to the radio liberty channel, like the videos you liked or dislike the videos you didn't like, be sure to write your thoughts about what you hear on this broadcast in the comments. it is important that we have a dialogue. well, in the meantime , us president biden approved sending another anti-aircraft missile system to ukraine patriot, the new york times writes about this with reference to unnamed high-ranking officials of the administration and the military. this decision was allegedly made by the us president last week after a series of high-level meetings and internal debates on how to protect ukraine and not endanger the combat capability of its own army. this is the second patriot installation that ukraine will receive from the united states. it will arrive, it will arrive from poland, in the coming days and may be deployed in ukraine, the new york times also writes about this. officially, the biden administration is about this

decision was not announced. olaf scholz has announced deliveries in the coming weeks and months. new air defense equipment to ukraine, it is about the third patriot system from berlin, as well as missiles and ammunition. the german chancellor announced this in berlin, opening the third conference on the restoration of ukraine. our colleague in brussels, olena abramovych, will tell us what exactly they plan to rebuild here. the less destruction, the less needs to be restored. this thesis became the leitmotif of the third conference on the restoration of ukraine on june 11-12 in berlin. president volodymyr zelenskyi has arrived. with a reminder: ukraine still needs at least seven patriot air defense systems to protect cities, and said in recent months, russia has destroyed 80% of heat generation in ukraine and a third. hydro generation, ukraine is currently suffering from the most destructive form of the russian vision of energy as a weapon.

as a result of the strikes of russian missiles and drones , 9 units of power have already been destroyed. despite the fact that the peak of energy consumption in ukraine last winter was 18 gw, therefore half of it does not exist now. the ukrainian president called for help. be able to rebuild at least part of the power systems before winter, provide equipment and financing, plan to build up to one gigawatt of gas generation capacity already this year and another 4 gw in the following years. at the conference, italy announced a package of 140 million euros to protect the ukrainian energy infrastructure. the president of the european commission, ursula fondelein, reminded that 1.5 billion euros of hard earned money will be used for arms for kyiv next month. assets of russia, and the chancellor of germany, as the head of the air defense coalition, promised to deliver the third patriot system to ukraine in the coming days and weeks and called on others to help as well. well,

as for the reconstruction of ukraine, in general he gave a motivational speech. no one here today can say when the war will end, but we can say this, it will. we will rebuild a stronger ukraine. stronger and wealthier than it was before. millions of ukrainians currently living in our countries can be living bridges, women and men who speak the language of another country, work in local companies and already tomorrow they can play an important role in the reconstruction of ukraine. it's all thanks to the people, welcome to berlin, glory to ukraine. glory to ukraine. as for ukrainian refugees, on the day of the start of the conference on reconstruction , the european commission proposed to extend the protection for ukrainians for one more year, until march 4, 2026. the final decision should be taken by the ministers of justice and internal affairs of the eu member states. they will meet

in brussels on thursday, they continue, because the grounds for granting protection have not changed. the war continues, so more than 4 million people from ukraine, who currently in the eu, will have the right to work and live in the eu for another year. olena abramovich, marok hajduk, radio svoboda. we continue to talk about the situation at the front. mykhailo zhirokhov, a military spectator, joins our broadcast. welcome to our broadcast. thank you for joining. good morning. i would like to ask you to analyze the situation at the front, in which directions has the offensive of the russian federation declined, and where are their offensives gaining momentum according to your observations? well, it is obvious that their activities are active and suspended in kharkiv oblast. i can not. say that completely but activity already less than in the last week there, but unfortunately, in the donetsk direction, in the chasivyariv direction, the situation is very

difficult, and the russians are slowly but advancing by 250-300 m, but their advance goes on and on, it is, well, enough, enough , successfully, so to speak, it's about... that is, the situation is difficult, but in principle controlled. before we talk in more detail about the situation in the directions, i want you to clarify something, but it would be wrong to say that ukraine has already passed the peak of the offensive actions of the russian army, which began there in the fall, someone says that this is what it was announced and what the president said about the difficult situation at the beginning, in the spring and at the beginning of the summer, or the western weapons, which eventually began to be provided, are they already changing? well, western weapons, they will not be able to change the situation so quickly, because so far ukraine is recruiting personnel, only fighters are training,

that is , there are no changes as such on the front with western weapons, we have ammunition, which we use quite effectively, but here armored personnel carriers, there is various equipment that the europeans and americans plan to transfer to us... theirs they need to be served, they need to be fought, that is why there are no new units formed from mobilized ones at the front yet, you already mentioned the time, let’s talk in more detail, this is one of those settlements, large settlements, for which there is now the main danger, as far as there is dynamic situation, because the situation there is dynamic, so i can't talk about... some specific things, for example, because positions, they change hands, you can only talk about general things, some, but general

things, unfortunately... russians already in the time of yara, they are already fighting in the streets, although our official structures, of course, say, well , they say different things, let's put it this way, and it is very, very difficult to admit that the fighting is going on in the spring, but in fact, that is how it is, the russians are already in such a neighborhood of the canal, where, where are the battles, well, literally for every high-rise building. well, what's left there, because the russians use cabs, use artillery, still it's still quite powerful in one of the elements of this combat, it's the use of cabs. oleksandr mosienko, a military expert, says what is the miracle that the ukrainian defense was able to withstand the times of the war, that the time is still holding, what is this miracle worth to the ukrainian army and what

prospects... will the assets of the times of the war be able to hold or not? well, if we talk about the loss of personnel, it is not surprising, it is such a tactic, when we, when the commander understands that we will have more losses than the enemy, then they retreat. now there is nothing to hold on to, well, like some settlement, as some symbol of heroism, you remember the bahmud fortress, or a fortress there. there is no such thing in avdiivka now, it is now in the foreground first all this is the preservation of personnel, and retreats, and perhaps, perhaps a retreat from the time of yar, there is no need to perceive it as a kind of defeat, a defeat, we are, there are no such settlements for the sake of which it is necessary to put thousands of lives there, it is better now to withdraw a few kilometers to already built

fortifications. build a fortification line and then keep the defense there. let's talk about the kharkiv region in more detail: the defense forces of ukraine regained the lost positions in the direction of liptsi in the north of the kharkiv region before russia tried to develop a new a large-scale offensive, can we say that the armed forces of ukraine have already stopped the offensive of the russian army there. well, you see, from my point of view, the situation is like this now. the russians still have a second echelon of troops, and they are currently on this one. crossroads, whether to send a second echelon with tanks and armored vehicles into battle, or to expand the front line at the expense of the sumy region, for example, well, that is , there are only two, two options, how to use them, what will be adopted by the russians, well, i personally cannot to say, and in principle, it is being resolved now, president zelenskyi said that several patriot installations

from... protect kharkiv, germany is transferring, the usa is transferring patriot, so how much can it strengthen defense and can it allow to protect the city of kharkiv? well , you see, this is a very difficult question, because the main thing that the russians are using now are glide bombs, these cabs, and it is very difficult to fight with these cabs at all, you have to fight. only with carriers, the same patriot, one missile there costs tens, if not hundreds of times more than the cap that flies, especially since a day on kharkiv oblast, not only to kharkiv, to kharkiv oblast hundreds of cabs fly, it is without exaggeration hundreds, and that is why any air defense system exists, well, maybe except for the american one there washington, which covers or or the

israeli iron dome, it will not be able to harm ... this, she, well, it’s very short distances, that is, russian planes, they take off and immediately drop a cap, it’s very, very important, that’s what we say, we need anti-aircraft defense for kharkiv, but it’s realistic to cover even there by 50% it will be very, very difficult, you need to work in places basing these cab carriers, only then will there be any result. if it were, they would have been further away, there would have been time to, well , react to this threat, and yes, well, there are literally a few minutes to do something, well, practically not much is realistic. mykhailo, we asked such a question on this broadcast, but does the whole situation at the front now mean that the offensive of russian forces has already passed its climax, and maybe there is a backlash.
