remain in pokrovsk in donetsk region, including 4,000 children. every month, more than half a thousand - said serhiy dobryak, head of the city military administration. a shelter has been organized in the city, where people are brought from the front-line villages, in particular turetska. you can take a shower there, there are three meals a day. people are also registered to receive benefits and assistance. the evacuation train is sent once every 8 days. people are taken to volynsk and. after the announcement about the visits of the president of ukraine to vovchansk, the invaders began to bombard the city , telegram channels wrote about it. at the same time, russian troops are in kharkiv oblast concentrated their forces in the districts of liptiv, hlyboky, morokhovets, krasny and vovchansk. as reported by the spokesman of the kharkiv military group, vitaly sarantsev. there, the enemy most often conducts combat operations. in vovchansk , the situation is dire. ukrainian fighters restrain

the invaders using non-standard actions. the russians constantly change their tactics to bypass the positions of the defense forces. they go in frontal attacks in small assault groups. the second hand in the murder of the defenders of azovstal. on the night of july 28-29 , 2022, the russian invaders fired colony in the village of olenivka. today , the military, eyewitnesses. their relatives and officials gathered at the war museum to honor all those killed and draw international attention. our correspondent kateryna galko is with us live now, who, i hope, will tell us more. katya, i congratulate you. so, perhaps, some new details have appeared, how the investigation is currently progressing and what the ukrainians are demanding today. greetings iro. greetings to the viewers

of the espress tv channel. so today , the military and eyewitnesses of those events, as well as relatives, military personnel, as well as representatives gathered at the war museum of the international community and ukrainian officials, in order to try to find an answer to the question of what exactly happened then and whether all the guilty, all the guilty both directly and indirectly, are being punished. to remember this, today we listened to the military. in particular, the officer of the azo brigade had the first word. and he obviously has a lot of questions for both the un and the icrc, he also actually had questions about why azov citizens are not exchanged, why prisoners of war from azov do not appear on the lists for return, let's hear him language now, where is the persistence, why there is no public condemnation and constant pressure on the aggressor, why the red cross does not publicly demand access to... places where

our prisoners of war are, why representatives of russia at the un do not ask these questions, why evil remains unpunished. un. red cross. is it the role of an extra? this is the only thing your esteemed institutions are capable of. representatives of the ombudsman's office and the prosecutor general's office came to the meeting to answer some of these questions. in particular, a representative of the office of the commissioner for rights of the verkhovna rada of ukraine the person told about what lubinets is asking for. the un demands that the un continue its investigation, which, i will remind you, never took place. we also heard interesting statistics from the prosecutor general's office. he noted that 133,000 war crimes have been recorded, the entire range of possible

war crimes. we also know that 635,000 people received suspicions. 457 such cases are currently pending. and we already have 121 convictions, unfortunately, these convictions are mostly in absentia, however, 17 criminals are already in ukraine, ukraine also cooperates with the international by the criminal court and we know that six people have already received arrest warrants. let's hear a little more further in the comments. at the moment, again, no active action, the authorized person once again turned to allov in order to restore. the work of this mission, so that it finally arrived in ukraine, so that it received the relevant materials, so that it documented all these crimes and the terrorist attack that took place in july 22. the dnas will do their best to help, but i believe that our

system is also capable of attracting them, even if on target olenivka is being considered in ukraine. several versions, the main one of which is that it really was a shell detonated from the middle, however , there is not enough evidence to reject all other versions, the prosecutor general’s office, together with the sbu and the national police, investigated all the bodies that were recovered, also talked to prisoners of war, interrogated more than 20 soldiers who were in olenivka, as well as 30 prisoners of war from the neighboring barracks . they cannot, however, they actually know that it is not only one crime, the next, and which is actually also evidence for the international criminal court, is that russia did not start its own investigation, and also did not allow aid to be given to those fighters who could still be helped, including at least nine

people died due to the fact that they were not given medical aid in time, although they could, and on friday last week they announced suspicions to the head and deputy... of the colony institution in olenivka. as a matter of fact, representatives of the icrc and the international committee of the red cross visited the meeting today. they were asked question, however, no one actually received specific answers, but representatives of the icrc said that they will work until they find the last missing person, and also told that they were in olenivka, or rather, they are ready, they were nearby and ready were to come to help, but they were not allowed inside. colony, this is the situation, in fact, i would like to note that two years ago a terrible tragedy occurred, and as a result of the crime committed by the russians , at least 53 ukrainian soldiers died, at least nine of them died only because they were not given help, and another 150 received injuries of varying

severity, this is the situation, these are the actual results of the investigations as of now. iro, i give you ether. thank you, katya, thank you for such a detailed story. it was our correspondent kateryna galko from the capital from the war museum, she was talking about the second hand murder of the defenders of azovstal, and we are moving on, and there is information that there was a railway accident in russia, in the volgograd region, a passenger train collided with a truck. they went off the rails nine train cars. kazan adler. six of them overturned. about 100 people are injured, some are stuck under the train, they write. russian media. according to eyewitnesses, the accident was caused by a truck driver who drove onto a railway crossing. kirmanych, the cars are in serious condition in the hospital. more than 800 passengers were on the train. and ukrainian saber player

olga harland won against the representative of azerbaijan, anna bashta, with a score of 15:6. already at the start, olga made a powerful 3:0 jump, and after 7 minutes already had a comfortable gap, 11:3. in result the meeting ended with a confident victory of the ukrainian woman. as you know, olga harlan is a famous athlete, an olympic champion. 2008 and silver medalist of the 2016 olympic games in the team championship, six-time world champion and eight-time european champion. and we congratulate olga on the victory and thank her for this victory, first of all. that was all the news at the time. you can learn more on our espresso tv website. also follow us on social networks and watch on youtube. we will see you soon. at 5 p.m. further broadcast continued by marta oliarnyk and antin barkovskyi. thank you to iryna koval, thank you to

the news editor. well, let's pick up the baton. an important signal from the law enforcement officers, they are checking the operation of the wheel inspection attraction on podil in kyiv. after the death of the husband as a result. the cliff of tros on the cableway across the dnipro, spokeswoman of the metropolitan prosecutor's office iryna vynokurova said in a comment to ukrinform. therefore, within the framework of criminal proceedings for violation of safety rules during the performance of works with increased danger, the operation of the attraction is checked ferris wheel in podilsk district. the police have requested all the permit documents for the attraction, the proceedings are factual, because without them the law enforcement agencies cannot carry out inspections. it is still too early to talk about its results, well, but in any case, we understand that this should

apply not only to kyiv, but across ukraine to a multitude of various attractions that have not been fully tested or, perhaps , not fully licensed, which already often could even to come into force, well, for perfectly understandable reasons from that perfect system, it would certainly be worth it connect similar checks, in general. across the country, and by the way, the ministry of defense supported the draft law on private military companies, this is reported with a link to the government portal, we will ask our next guest, valery rybykh, military expert, director of development of the information and consulting company defense express, about this. but before asking about the fact that the ministry of defense supported the bill on private military companies in ukraine, we will talk about the news, which actually also has a relationship with the private military. companies, but we are talking about pmc wagner in mali near the border with algeria, including the leader

who took over the management of this group after the liquidation by the russian regime, their leader of this company utkin, and of course what about prigozheny, and now we see what. .. this epic continues, and here even in the country, let’s say, it is reported that the rebels from the small tuareg, who are fighting for the creation of their own state of azawat, have turned to the ukrainians with the fact that they allegedly have a dozen and a half wagnerians in captivity , with the fact that they can in... yes, let's say, solidarity, hand them over to ukraine in order for them to suffer punishment for all

their atrocities that they committed, not only in ukraine, but also on the territory of a number of african states, that is, in principle, this is such a natural end, natural, exactly for the mercenaries, with their, well, that... inhuman practice that they use, and that's how they earn their dirty money, killing people all over the world, without any principles and, let's say, without any necessity, and it should be noted , that it happened and is happening, well, no... let's say this, on the initiative of these mercenaries, it was all organized and planned

by the kremlin regime, and in particular , it continues to be used as a hybrid tool to expand its influence, well, in different corners of the globe. mr. valery, look at how well these private companies justify themselves when they are formed by some democratic one. state, so we understand that the kremlin, the kremlin and democracy are diametrically opposed things, yes, well, there is, for example, the french experience or the american experience, yes, south african. experience, and here 's how we need to do it so that it is effective, efficient, well, because very often private military companies, companies, or rather, they operate literally on the border, well here it should be noted that the same example of this terrorist group of wagner , it is not typical, and in particular, of course, that it is more,

let's say, a marked and criminal group with specific tasks, with specific methods concerning private companies, they are spread around the world, in some countries, they are introduced in legislatively, let's say, in the legal field, and act, and first of all, of course, that this is due to economic reasons and for the purpose of ensuring economic interests, and that is, let's say, the conduct of hostilities and the killing of representatives of other countries there and others national or religious groups, of course, which is not, let's say, the task of these companies, the task of such companies is to ensure the economic interests of certain companies that operate around the world,

in particular, where there is danger and... a threat to economic activity of these companies, and they primarily ensure the protection of the objects of economic activity, well, and accordingly ensure that they are not the objects of violence by local, let's say, groups that conflict, including sometimes among themselves . therefore, when considering the possibility of creating such campaigns there, it is necessary to understand precisely what needs to be determined here by certain tasks. in addition to economic activity, one of the tasks is also to ensure the activity already, let's say, troops operating legally in

one or another region, and this is primarily about logistical support, and here... practice shows that such companies, well, they show high efficiency, providing logistics, supply of all types of support , there and food, and there, let’s say, field lubricants, and other types of support for the troops who are already there, also on legal grounds in the territories of certain countries, in accordance with international legislation and the legislation of those countries, participating, of course. that this can be a way to strengthen defense capabilities for ukraine, but it is necessary to clearly define the tasks and clearly create legal mechanisms so that the activities of such companies are carried out precisely for the purpose of ensuring the security and defense of ukraine. you just

took it off my tongue because the ministry of defense supported the draft law. about private military companies, but i must mention here who is the author of this draft law, although the ministry supported it, and it also gives a chance, that this draft law can get into the session hall and be voted on, see, but people's deputy, serhiy hryvko, he also became popular because he was the initiator of the tax on childlessness, offered to turn the pedals for prisoners to generate electricity, to fine them for air conditioning. .. and if we see the background of this lawmaker, we are somehow, you know, very skeptical of his initiatives, but the ministry supported the bill, and with this bill they want to provide for the creation of private companies, but they will be able to carry out activity exclusively abroad, but with registration and payment of taxes in ukraine,

but here you know, the question arises, why should we now create... private companies to work abroad, if you excuse me, well, we also have a little bit of people, if only is lacking, we need to replenish our army, well, that is, if only for the sake of somehow , you know, money coming here to us from abroad, well, for such reasons, probably yes, but we understand that now we also have our problems, which need a solution, well, it's hard for me to talk about this bill right now, me i have not familiarized myself with it, but i support your logic and... in particular, now the tasks may be there for ukraine to ensure the same economic interests, because in principle, the economy is now... important, in particular, to ensure security there and defense of ukraine, and here one must understand the logic of the legislation and the logic, for example, of the same ministry

of defense, which supports this, say , draft law, but here i cannot agree with the fact that the activities of similar companies there should be extended only to the territory of foreign countries, because the essence of the matter is the activity on the territory of ukraine. there are a lot of areas of activity for such companies, and now there are many companies that are not called military companies in the sense that we are talking about, but really actively participate in the training of the same ukrainian military, transferring the acquired experience, and mainly such groups consists of former military personnel who, for one reason or another, let's say so, cannot do actual military service. e have but having a lot of experience there, they can transfer it, including training, including providing the logistical supply

of troops, and here there could be a lot of such areas, so i think that, well, in the process of discussions there and consideration of the draft law, there may be certain amendments were made, and it is possible that the logic there, let's say, of the ministry could have been such that... to allow it to the first reading and then make some amendments, but here these are my hypothetical judgments, let's say, on this account, well anyway mr. valery, we understand that this can allow us to gain additional flexibility, flexibility in what is called the recruitment of military specialists outside our state, and we also understand that this could just be useful to us, because, well, taking into account the difficult law. so to speak , not everyone could go to serve in the armed forces of ukraine, and there are military spokesmen from one or another country due to their

internal legislation, and private military companies are already a more flexible story, so to speak, but god, as they say with them, we will see, there are relevant specialized committees and people's deputies who are not stupid in their majority, i wanted to ask you about our new drones. the enemy, yes, they have now added gerbera to the geranei, well, i don’t know what kind of gifted florist they have sitting in their scientific and technical division, who stamps this whole thing, or at least in the general staff, who writes out the nomenclature there, well, but, but , but he flew to kyiv, the story is possibly more serious than it seems to us, well, it is possible only the first, so say, deadly. a swallow of a new, possibly fundamentally new type of drones, tell me what kind of gerbera these are? well, here already several similar drones, as you can

judge from the media space, have been shot down, and in fact, these are the same drones that we saw that were shot down on the night of july 24, and at that time had not yet been identified, and about which we said there that it... has a foam filling and in some ways resembles that grain, but it is much, let's say, smaller, and we then assumed that it could mainly to be used as a comedy drone or to perform special tasks, so now russian propagandists have helped us to identify by releasing videos, and just this... gerbera, well, which continues the series of these funny flower compositions that are produced by various technical bureaus in the russian

federation, however, it should be noted that this drone, in fact, it can be dangerous and can complement the two types of geraniums that are currently manufactured in the russian federation, in addition, well with... the analysis shows that exactly those who develop this gerbera and are now trying to exploit it there are precisely a group that is close to alabuga, and it can also be dangerous, because now , having conducted similar tests, test launches are part of such massive drone attacks on the territory of ukraine. they can be adapted for further use and for the deployment of large production, they are such a drone with a wingspan of 2 m, 2.5 m with

a length of fi'. the beach is 2 m. its weight can be up to several tens of kilograms, somewhere around 20 kg, so it cannot carry a lot of explosive material, and depending, let's say, on the amount of fuel it can carry, it can be, roughly speaking, about 5 kg. in the case of using it as a drone, but the fact that it has a camera means that it can be directly controlled when attacking the same objects, specific definitions can hit objects more precisely, and the same small amount of explosives, let's say there , can still be quite critical when hitting specific objects there, and this indicates the fact that this drone can be controlled, well, let's say , up to 200 km if it

is used. in za z in sparka with a repeater for transmitting control signals and up to several tens of kilometers directly, if it can be used, for example, in the area of ​​the same contact line, and this drone can be quite cheap, and it is estimated that with serial production , its cost it can reach up to 10 thousand dollars, no more, and even... it can be much less in the case of large-scale serial production, so in essence we are now watching by this, however, at this stage, what our experts have looked at, what we have made public the photos, it still resembles some kind of homemade story, without signs of, let's say, mass production, and for now we can still talk about that this is some kind of research party, well... for

now, the russians are just looking at how they can further use it, there are only a few directions of use, it is primarily an attack drone, it can be a drone for electronic warfare, well a drone to overload our anti-aircraft system defenses, and the thing is, he'll be able to fly over a kilometer up there, and so... well, he'll be hard to bring down with the mobile groups that are effective against gerania right now, so there could be different tactics here . thank you, valery ryabik, military expert and director of development of the information and consulting company defense express, was in direct contact with us. now we will have a short break, after which we will continue to talk about our security situation, in particular , we will talk about the work of the national guard ukraine, what is the current situation at the front,
