of the client, representatives of international organizations such as the united nations red cross and the osce exclusively for their personal presence there in this process on the territory of azovstal near the kpd where the gathering of people is taking place, only in this case we can hope that at least some kind of process will take place well, in all other cases, the russians will always lie and try to kill ukrainians, whether they are civilians or maxim's military , but the meeting between putin and him ended up being crowned, in particular, with some statements about the conclusion civilian demands were made and here they are omitting a very conscious moment of what will happen to our defenders, in particular, and wounded military personnel. as i understand now, and the russian prisoners who are there together with our guys and civilians, what fate awaits them? sorry, this segment is essentially hostages and australia. now we are trying to negotiate and

build a process so that together with civilians , it is also possible to rescue and safely remove the wounded and the bodies of the dead, because it is extremely important for us that the bodies of our fellow citizens died in this war who died defending mariupol so that they could be buried properly and that their relatives know where their graves are, unlike russians who will never know where the corpses of their loved ones are simply scattered all over the country, so it is very important for us that all two categories are injured and dead bodies we are also working and insisting that during the evacuation process these issues are discussed and these issues are a separate issue. azov is the marines, the police, small detachments and border guards, they will be able to get there only if there are

definitely guarantees from other countries, in all other cases, they will not lay down weapons and will not release prisoners under any circumstances. is there already information about how the russians are trying to trace of their war crimes. so we received news that they deployed several mobile crematoriums there, so satellite images show that they were arranging graves and then covered them with tractors but surely you have more masses of information, share it, yes, in the area of ​​the mangusha settlement, there are huge packages of mass graves, when dump trucks are used to transport the corpses of people, but in the last few weeks , in addition to such large burials, the russians began to mass burn the bodies of the dead, they use them not only to burn

their own soldiers there, they also burn the civilian population there, and even they are not so cynical scum, they dig up bodies in yards they are buried in housing estates and even burn the entire er so that no one will ever find traces of their crimes. maxima somewhere in the ukrainian segment of the er network even read such a half-joke, but where the russian missile fell, there are obviously russians there and they believe that there was a base azov , if we are talking about azov, then we are not only talking about mariupol now, how much, let's say, your guys are involved in the execution of tasks, e.e. information that you can provide, given the security circumstances, directly to our unit which we formed from the first days in kyiv, after the kyiv region was completely liberated , we transferred our forces to it in the zaporizhia

region in order to push in the direction of mariupol , and for several days our unit has been in active combat right in front of the zaporizhia region yesterday in we were effectively carried out an operation to push forward and move the position of the ukrainians forward, we were able to advance several kilometers and liberate one of the settlements in the gulyaipol area, as well as yesterday our the unit managed to destroy about an infantry platoon, hit one tank, one bmp and capture five uh, well, it wasn't the russians, it was the dpr, it was 5 enemies, they also captured maxim yesterday. can you somehow explain, i still don't understand for 8 years that's why the most important horror for the russians was the right sector, do you remember yarosh's business card and so on, what happened? what kind of simply crazy transformation that the main evil now, in their opinion, is the azov regiment. well, it's

simple. you have some guesses. the fact is that the zosh regiments are e-e is an active official unit by the special guards, which are completely official. it is extremely frightening in principle for russians that in ukraine it is possible that free people who simply gathered and served in the army then turned into a professional unit and, moreover, are willing to voluntarily defend the country to build an extremely dangerous , they are afraid that, god forbid, the russians will start take an example from the ukrainians and the azovians and start defending their country er worry about it build think about its future this is what scares the russians and putin the most today in principle er moreover, for them, a separate problem is mariupol and the shame that they received from azov in mariupol, this is a shame that they will feel for generations of the russian

army if it exists at all, it is mariupol and azov, which they were never able to break maximene accordingly, we understand that president zelenskyy once said about two components regarding the liberation of fighters and civilians from mariupol , one is diplomatic, the other component is purely military, and that's the question, we understand that the situation at the front is quite unpredictable, all russian attempts to break through the front rest on the valor of our fighters on the one hand, and heavy weapons are coming from the other. would radically change and finally it could be about the liberation of mariupol or at least about the pierced corridor, this is now really one of the biggest problems

- these are the ones, this is the time that works not for us, but for which there are extremely few heroes who are currently in mariupol, we are really preparing an operation to unblock it and i will tell you that there are people who are willing to go voluntarily who are ready now who are even now already in that direction for this operation, the only thing is that today the big problem is precisely with equipment with barrel artillery, and without which it is impossible to carry out this operation on which we are still waiting, including from abroad, and how powerful a group of russian troops is covering mariupol from the north. counteroffensive would be about the north, and i think that they take into account such moments extremely strongly, how deep they are, there is a frantic defense around mariupol at the moment, three rings of groups of approximately 15,000

russian terrorist fighters, but in addition to this, in addition to the surroundings of mariupol, there are still huge the forces that are in the south, namely, the russians are counting on these forces in the first place in order to strengthen their offensive, including in the zaporizhzhia region, in order to cut off another part of the territory of ukraine, and it is with this group that we uh, they stopped the zaporizhia region, we are fighting with him, how powerful is this group, the group that is directed towards zaporizhzhia is now writing. there are other units that i understand are in reserve, thank you, thank you, maksym, we wish you patience and, uh, we are

all together, all together with your guys, in particular, with you . thank you for your work, as well as for your protection. on communication e-e very soon we will begin to cover events in other ukrainian e-e regions and regions yes of course we need to inform our viewers - inform the most important so president zelensky and putin can meet in the coming days, the minister of defense of turkey informed attention - this is this news considering rank-and-file is extremely important. therefore, the minister of defense of turkey in losiakar literally said the following. president erdogan has repeatedly met with mr. putin and zelensky. to help the ceasefire as soon as possible in order to sit down at the negotiating table, we are holding on despite

some difficulties in the coming days. perhaps the two leaders of ukraine and russia will be able to meet, of course, and we will still have news on the air, what will be reasons to discuss or important topics that you are currently raising shantina and now with us in connection with sumyshchyna and dmytro zyvytskyi, the head of the sumy regional military administration, dmytro i congratulate you. glory to ukraine, you are in the forest and it is not very safe at the moment. have you done work there, let's say, with demining yes, i am right in the forest, in which the base and the territory are safe, everything is fine, you can not worry, but where the russian troops were or were moving because the territories were occupied, you cannot go there under any circumstances, the situation in sumy oblast as of now, describe it , please, have you been some alarming let's say so point moments for the last day, so tonight

once again the territory of the sumy region was shelled from the side of the russian federation, they have been er-er, probably soon a week, like every day except easter er-er artillery and mortars fire at our territory. fortunately, no one was injured and there is no damage caused by these night shellings, but such provocative things happen every day. well, what is the feeling in general? you understand that parts of russian territories regularly catch fire due to the fact that careless employees of military authorities throw cigarette butts probably in some buckets of gasoline there, well , the cities of bryansk are burning, so to speak from our side and from their side, because we understand that communication on an interpersonal level is still preserved, yes. well, what do people say? what do people

say? what is this situation? the situation is not clear at all. there is destruction in residential buildings, there is destruction in the last week in commercial buildings, the psychoneurological boarding school was also damaged, windows and doors were broken, the territory of commercial buildings and the boarding school itself in one of the border of populated areas of sumy oblast, the locals do not understand at all why there is no military there, there is no movement of any equipment, they are just shelling residential buildings, even shelling forest strips, shelling, shooting across meadows and fields. why they are doing this is unclear, but no, i think that this is such a provocation to destabilize

the situation. we are just inviting people to return to sumschen. they are resuming work. most industrial enterprises have resumed work, but unfortunately many of them are not at full capacity because there are a lot of people who have left and we need working hands, we need people who will work on dismantling the rubble and restoring the infrastructure, so it is very important. it is also pleasing that people are volunteering not only by helping there with food or medicine or other things, there are already about 300 people builders e-e designers e-e who signed up e-e for registered on the dobrobat resource, this is such a resource that was created e-e by volunteers of the state service for emergency situations joint with the ministry of internal affairs. there are already about 300 people in the sumy oblast announced that there are about 10 construction specialists, including engineers with a higher education

and working specialties, people who are ready to rebuild the houses of the city buildings for free, take part in the improvement of the city, and i am also now on the territory of one of the parks. what are we planning in this too? in the year eh, to beautify, restore and make a good place for recreation in the city of sumy, mr. zhivetsky, have you done on your individual level and on the collective level, for sure, we are talking about the state apparatus certain conclusions, we understand that no one expected that the russian intervention would go exactly in the way it did, it is not only about the atrocities near kiev, it is about the atrocities in sumy oblast or chernihiv oblast , it is about the military campaign in general, about the amount of manpower they involved, and about the amount of equipment, well, and of course, about the level of frank atrocities against the civilian population

, because what they did to our cities, you know, this is the experience of the second world war, but it is our job to draw the right conclusions and prepare just in case, if they climb a second time, they will be even less comfortable, and i don't think that it will be even less comfortable, but it will be very unpleasant for them if they try to push here into the territory of the sumy region, and i cannot publicly disclose the details, but i think that they will feel this mission and the anger of our people of the military er volunteer formations er territorial defense and i think that they will definitely not come here anymore. ready for any worst situation, but

expect and hope that it will be good . thank you, mr. dmytro. thank you for your work and good luck. greetings to sumy oblast, and keep an eye on your native land until we meet dmytro zhyvitsky, head of the sumy oblast military administration. sumy oblast, which is normal, gave the russians a hard time the interventionist eventually takes complete control of the situation in the region but everything that remains under attack from the territory of the russian federation a-a we have a few moments literally there in order to determine a few more a-a for a long time , australia remained outside the general pool of those countries that somehow made it clear how they would help ukraine, understanding the criticality of the situation and for the world in general, and the australian government, at the request of the ukrainian government, will send another military humanitarian aid from kyiv to in the form of six players, ammunition, humanitarians and energy, you understand, that is, they could give all

the howitzers, it would not matter to them, australia is a huge continent, well, the main danger there may to be from the sea, but here we go back to the possible meeting between zelensky and putin, the adviser to the head of the president's office, more precisely, to the head of the president's office, mykhailo podolyak, said that today's time, synopsis, and context are possible, and the meeting of the presidents is not definitely determined. turkey, understanding the devastating consequences of the war for the black sea region resolved, the russian federation is trying to speed up the resolution of the conflict, however, the time of the meeting of the presidents and the context have not yet been determined, unfortunately, and it does not change with the involvement of the transnistrian aspect, so to speak, and i it seems that this deserves a separate discussion serhiy gerasimchuk, deputy executive director , director of the program of regional initiatives and neighborhoods, ukrainian foreign policy council,

prisma, contact us, serhiy, congratulations and glory to ukraine, cool with heroes, glory well, what is happening in transnistria and whose well, the hand is reaching there, here is such a delicate moment, we hear voices where i know there are radical games of indomitable ukrainian patriots who talk about a pre-emptive strike, forgetting that i do not know this the bandit transnistrian entity well, there are the moldovan dpr, it is the territory of moldova and here you have to be wise and beautiful at the same time, because the leadership of romania has now urgently left for kyiv and we understand. what can we do now, first of all, about the situation in transnistria itself, we know that the day before yesterday there were explosions in the ministry of state security - this is their analogue of the kdb, which is not recognized by the republic, we

know that yesterday there were attacks on the television station and today information was received that there was a shooting near the military warehouses in the village of kovbasne. and these are warehouses where military ammunition is stored, which was allocated to the warsaw pact state back in the 90s, and there are a lot of them there, and the situation can unfold according to three scenarios. mentioned that this is a signal to the republic and moldova and romania that if they support ukraine, they will have trouble with moldova in their territory, and romania, in fact, is close to its borders. exactly the signal, as it coincided with the visit of the prime minister of romania, mykola chuk, speaker of the lower house of the parliament, marchenko, and the minister of foreign affairs, bohdan leverescu, to ukraine. in other words, they were shown that you will go to ukraine, you will

have a button machine, it looks like a hostage that the russians are trying to use in the dialogue with the romanians, this is definitely a tension for moldova itself, first of all, there are security risks. a very short distance plus a large social burden because if refugees from transnistria have already appeared, we will now move to moldova, and some of them will even move to romania, so this will place an additional burden on ukrainian refugees who have already moved to moldova to romania after russia launched attacks on the entire territory of ukraine in february. the second scenario is now rejected out of hand, but i reject it as a possibility of using these provocations as an excuse to turn to russia for strengthening guards at the warehouses in the sausage shop because now they are guarded by russian troops or about a thousand

people, and these people have no status there, russia simply left them, as it were, in order to guard these warehouses, observers from the osce are not allowed there, but the russians could well call tiraspol now this idea is refuted, the so-called minister of foreign affairs of transnistria rejected this idea, but it cannot be ruled out either. well, the third scenario is not more terrible if there is really a full-scale attack on warehouses and they detonate then we will have a man-made disaster on a regional scale. the explosion was four hours old, because those warehouses are large-scale or with ammunition. someone noticed that they are almost the most powerful in europe. if we talk about the number of ammunition, there are actually a lot of them. it is true. in what condition ? that duty observers have not been allowed there for more than 10 years, the situation can be quite so risky, and if they drive, at least from what my moldovan colleagues told me,

if ammunition is detonated, an explosion will occur the shell will be no less in hiroshima after the atomic bombing, and these explosions will be heard in chisinau, odessa, ukraine, and moldova, and this can have very, very serious man-made consequences. well, as they say, explosions are not the only ones that will unfold . number two is a threat, well, more precisely, not a threat, but this is all the next scenario will unfold, so the dpr of the lpr of the moldavian spillway will now start talking about its sovereignty, subjectivity, and so on. well, we know that this is how it reacts russia, of course, will begin to recognize them, on the one hand, this will insert it into this conflict, on the other hand, we understand what the next steps of the russians will be, so there will be two or three more provocations. well, we do not know

at what level. to moldova with the demand to ensure the safety of the civilian population living in the so-called transnistrian republic and the republic of gagauzia , so ensure that safety with russian paratroopers or some other troops and here the question of how chisinau and bucharest will clearly play out, as of now, well, we can say with certainty that bucharest will allow any credit to their territory. that is, i have no reason to doubt the principle that the republic of moldova will consider its very cautious position and emphasize its neutrality and i don't think that it will be ready to allow the increase of such a contingent , and even more so to allow it to transit its territory through the airport of chişinău or in some other way, especially if romania does not

will allow and ukraine will objectively not allow the arrival of russian planes to chisinau airport, then this scenario is so unlikely, but we must remember that there is a military airport in tiraspol itself, and this airport has also not been the subject of observation by the osce mission for a long time, that is, the observers are not there they let in, in what condition technically is it in, can it receive planes now, it is impossible to say for sure, it has to itself , the president of moldova said during her press conference that they cannot say a no yes a no regarding the possibility of using this airport, and theoretically, in theory, attempts are possible at the front airport. well, to deliver the russian military from crimea, then the plane will be in the airspace of ukraine for 7-10 minutes, but it depends on how it will react, whether the team will shoot it down, or whether it will be technically possible not to miss this plane. well, they it is not for nothing that they have now started to

warm up near the bridge. so we understand that the existing shipyard, so to speak, can afford to devote an extremely high concentration of fire, actually. i don’t know if it is near ismail or belgorod-dniestrovsk and they would try to advance there, and accordingly this raises relevant questions, and an additional argument is added to everything, first of all, you rightly noted that they can demand to protect the civilian population . passports of at least three states, the republic of moldova, russia itself, and even ukraine, because those who have ukrainian passports are also present in the transnistrian region. and secondly, this is the justification for breaking through this corridor that is, it is clear that odesa is now defending itself and is doing it quite successfully, but we have an additional

motive, a fictional motive of the russian federation, to talk about the need to unite the dpr, the lpr , and the pnr. civilians are protected by the russian troops eh p sergiya, information was leaked yesterday about the fact that eh representatives of the special services of the so-called special services of the so-called transnistria are gradually sending eh, in particular, to some of them more or less the media is unconscious there, and the letters about the fact that, well , actually signaling that it is possible to enter into this story, and the mood on the part of transnistria , specifically on ukraine, they do not want or can turn out to be such that the russian federation will in every way incite its own transnistrians they will do it and they will refuse. as they say , in fact, i also heard about such letters

. i cannot verify their authenticity, only he can say that of course, the so-called transnistrian letters of war can hardly be profitable because that big smuggling loves a lot of silence, and it will be more difficult to carry out smuggling, which is the basis of the transnistrian economy, under shelling. however, we also have to understand that in essence it is russia that is the guarantor and the main term of the so -called statehood of transnistria, and we see an analogy with belarus there lukashenko is conditionally legitimate. even if the president is not recognized, he still could not cede transnistria to russia, which is completely dependent on russia, it will be even more difficult to cede, mr. serhiy, i wanted to ask you about the so-called gagauz republic. yes, we understand that this is another separate dangerous enclave on the territory of moldova with its own rules, so to speak, but they occupy an equally

strategic position, in particular, we are talking about this section of our southwestern border, and in particular, the odesa region is actually an autonomous entity within the republic of moldova which is controlled by the government of moldova, that is, the difference with transnistria is that it is a territory under the control of the republic of moldova, although it has wide autonomy, it is headed without an economy and is elected in the field itself. there are really quite pro-russian sentiments there, despite the fact that it would seem that this territory should be the territory of the turkic-speaking population, in fact, they are a completely russian-speaking territory, and in its head referendums were repeatedly held about what if moldova joins the eeu and georgia can announce about independence, but i would not dramatize the situation there, that is, now it seems to me that transnistria causes more

concern than gasology because, after all, for a long time, higher education institutions have received the same increased attention, and not only from the side of ukraine, but also from the side of the special services of the republic of moldova itself. i think that they will have to monitor the situation there. in particular, we are talking about the southwestern direction. it seems to me, of course, that i do not have the intelligence to give advice to our military . with the requirements for the admission of osce observers to this territory, if something is really happening there, let them go and let international organizations see it. the second point. we need full coordination with romania and the republic of moldova, and that's because these three countries can be most affected by any attacks. from the

transnistrian region or any escalation of ukraine from blood and the third point, of course, it is necessary to work with moldova so that moldova still decides on its position, which it least recognized the occupied territory of the occupied territory, because the european court of human rights is doing it instead of moldova. the parliamentary assembly of the council of europe, but not moldova itself. well, because if this does not happen, the field for diplomatic maneuvers will be slightly narrowed. thank you, mr. serhiy , for this analysis. programs of regional initiatives and the neighborhood of the council of foreign policy ukrainian prizma was in touch with us, they tried to somehow grasp the problems of transnistria with their minds which appeared on our agenda literally these days immediately after the news. i really hope to contact odesa in order to understand what is happening now in this region, the infrastructure situation there is deteriorating due to shelling and destruction. but so far we have news from
