10:06 pm
and leader of the hollows party, joins us now from keith. first of all, if i can ask you to describe the situation that oh, good evening. thank you so much for having me. so there was a additional attack on key of today in the morning. and just right now is that every time and when all wood is trying to prove is that nowhere in ukraine, we can feel safe because the attacks were today throughout the country. we had 1st people who were killed in leave us in the beginning of the war, and the attacks were on hockey, on the, on the, on key of and even in the western ukraine. what do we see is that without the air force protection without there may sell jet and a will be able to definitely make sure that there is
10:07 pm
a safe space in our country for weeks now, the suggestion was that russia would begin a new offensive in the east, in order to take and complete control of those territories. what information do you have about an escalation in military action there in that part of the country has that now started? so from the report that we are getting great, now the actions that russians are taking are the signs o, b, y, and i said attack on the east, the fight for doing bus there. positive matter there is that they finally start fighting ukrainian army instead of coming and taking places where civilians are located. and it was a good point is that ukrainian army has been preparing for this for 54
10:08 pm
days. and we had to receive supplies and weapons, that, of course, negative point is that still are in many pieces of weapon in transit. and that we will no matter what we are getting from our allies. we would definitely need more. what do you find right now is one of the largest armies in the world and the amount of soldier that they are having and they're bringing it terrifying. however, what we can definitely say is that for us in the beginning of war, our army has shown the high level of professionalism. and we have proved to the whole world that we will be fighting greatly and that we will be fighting as one. but i suppose if the seizure mario full succeeds that allows that to be more resources than deployed elsewhere. how of ukrainians preparing for greater attacks
10:09 pm
on the east of the country? because it seems as though that area is going to be now encircled. so variable is a painful subject for us. first of all, because we are not able to get an agreement for the humanitarian corridors, for the civilians, for women and children to get out of the city so that our defenders can continue to defend it. this is again extremely unfortunate and related to the inability for us to protect the skies. because there is no even a convoy or additional supplies we can bring up to murray will to make sure that our military and i say for longer there, because any attempt is just destroyed on the way by russian air force. so it all comes down to the thing that we are asking since day one to the fighter jets and
10:10 pm
artillery. so we can protect our skies and then protect everything else and make sure that we see these are safe and make sure that we can move them weaponry and supplies. here may i ask you about mariel for you said it's a painful subject for you and for over a month now people there have been living without war to heating and proper medical care. what is life like for people in this passage? city? you said it yourself, it's without food supplies, without water, without medical aid. so what the reports and information that we are getting is humanitarian catastrophe. there my people are dying of hunger, they eating dogs and a pigeons. izzy are dying over they some basic illnesses and there are children by bank of dehydration. could you imagine that the 21st century in the center of

10:28 pm
to spread their message, what we have see and has both an outrageous reaction upon his burden and the koran . but on the other hand, also a very naive view upon the freedom of speech and its limits. and what the swedish law can do and not can do in situations like this, global the far right has been experts over the last 10 years to use things that they stage in real life. so i, r l and for online dissemination, the point, it's a no budget action. you take a book, you ticket pack of bacon, you burn it up, it doesn't cost you anything, but the p r effect is immensely higher. and that's exactly what they want to do. and i find it outrageous that's the, the swedish state allows that person a stage to app, use our fundamental rights for its own promotional value, because that is what's going on here. so, conspiracy figures disseminated above the swedish and social services dealing
