according to another principle, this is a technological weapon using satellites and intelligence data, that is, one shot or 1-2 shots and a target impression , that is, not dozens, not hundreds of shots, this is a more subtle surgical weapon, there are norwegian weapons, swedish weapons that can throw their projectiles into howitzers at a distance there up to 60 km hit with an accuracy of up to plus or minus 4 m i.e. understand this is just a scalpel in the hands of a surgeon he cuts cuts cuts cuts i.e. don't strip everything not the whole body is cut there but just pointwise and now this is how we save the lives of our military civilians and our infrastructure. i understood. thank you very much for your analysis. ivan stupak, a military expert of the ukrainian institute of the future, was with us live. how does russia's strategy appear to western military experts? an expert on russian affairs from the university of georgia, with ears, margarita konaye believes that russian troops want to gain a foothold in the

south . of ukraine, having cut it off from the sea with the possible creation of a land bridge to moldavian transnistria, monitors the war, noticed that the goals of the russian military had to be adjusted from considering the realities on the ground and to the extent that these latest statements by russian officials reflect some of the realities that we see in donbas right now , they already control a large part of the territory in the south. thus, repeating these goals gives them more achievable opportunities for what they can get in the foreseeable future at the same time i believe that this statement about blocking ukraine's access to the sea control over the entire southern ukraine and then securing this land bridge to the area in moldova controlled by russian troops is alarming, i would perceive it not as something that they will definitely try to achieve in this round of hostilities and during this phase of the war, but as something that they position as an option that they could

use in the future well, we return to odessa, there we said goodbye to valeria gloden, her three-month-old daughter and her mother, this is a victim of the shelling of the city, which was shelled by russian troops on the easter holiday. one of the rockets fired hit a residential high-rise building, as a result of which the girl and her small child died in odessa. among those who died from a rocket attack on april 23, among them were three women from the same family, 1967-1994 and 2022, little kiri gloden was only three months old when a russian rocket hit the house, she died together with her mother and grandmother, her father was not at home, they had been waiting for him for so long и такое программы ето не продается это большое города,

he is holding on from his last strength, he just has a choice. no, he must, he understands that he must. the condolences of relatives and friends, and after the funeral , he speaks briefly with journalists. they must die, they will die from rockets, his wife, 28-year-old valeria glodun, a graduate of the odesa journalism faculty, a marketer, a young mother , died together with the child she came to odesa to study, then she moved here from kherson and her mother ludmila yavkina, who

also died from a rocket, valeria was really waiting for a child, friends say she was a free soul , cheerful, smart with a great sense of humor, she wanted children, we even jokingly called her mama lera ochen many friends came, some refused to communicate, but some found the strength to tell how they found out about the tragedy and what kind of person their friend was. i was in public in in a telegram, i saw a photo of lera, after which i did not understand at all what she was doing there, who read the comments on the photo, well, in a state of shock, she was really

striving , she was studying to be a journalist, too. to produce women were buried in a cemetery near odesa just from a missile strike on april 23, seven civilians were killed, including other spouses, the woman was pregnant in her last post on instagram valeria urged to help the red of the cross and wrote soldiers are shelling the civilian population with ballistic and hydrogen missiles and residential areas children's homes maternity hospitals of ukraine our building mykhailo shtekel radio freedom mariupol continue to storm azovstal where the fighters of the azov regiment and other units of the ukrainian army who are still defending the city are still located several thousand civilians, women, children and the elderly, who cannot leave mariupol due to constant shelling in one of these shelters , are still housed in the shelters of the plant

they even organized a hospital because other hospitals in the city are not working based on the personnel published by the mariupol city council, you can see how and in what conditions people people are performing complex operations today, by the way, the president of poland, andrzej duda , announced his readiness to accept for treatment the civilians of mariupol and donetsk region who suffered injuries as a result of the russian occupation. well, we will talk further about assistance to civilians, in particular in mariupol, with serhiy orlov, deputy mayor of mariupol, mr. orlov. i wish you a good evening. they said that azovstal continues to be stormed despite putin's order, we remember him well in a conversation with defense minister shoigu, so what do you know if this is true? is it true or is azovstal really being shelled and what is the intensity there? unfortunately, it is true. everything that was said about the cessation is solid lies, and

there was no cessation of shelling for a single hour or day, and from australia, the enemy is attacking, how to use and use all the powerful weapons that he has, and this is the bombing of the city - this is shelling from machine gun artillery - this is shelling with rockets from the military a fleet of ships approaching er mariupol and also constant attempts to storm, i.e. pisa, the day before yesterday and there were at least 35 er bombing airstrikes and how do you understand that the enemy mostly uses er unguided bombs that will destroy everything unfortunately er in as a result of the use of this heavy, such and such, i die not like our servicemen, such civilians who found shelter in bomb shelters on the territory

of the australian plant, mr. orlov, do you have any information on how many? well, although approximately we said that several thousand civilians whose information you have is more accurate. how many people are there now? i think there is no exact information because we understand that the military and civilians are there separately , they are not together, it is one territory, but there are different bomb shelters, so i think it is close 800, but i hear information that this is a larger number of civilians in bomb shelters from australia, and the un secretary general announced at a meeting with putin, which we will also talk about later, that he is ready to participate in the evacuation of the civilian population, which we just talked about from mariupol for the red cross. how realistic do you think this plan is? look

, i would really like to be an optimist and tell you something good, but unfortunately, i can't be an optimist , that is, the situation hmm a complete blockade of the city for more than 55 days. but the situation that never once measures any humanitarian evacuation of non-humanitarian aid russia does not allow to carry out for the people of mariupol and does not allow unfortunately, i am an optimist. i believe that this is also a manifestation of aggression, a manifestation of war that putin made in a conversation with the secretary general, unfortunately, this is a complete lie, and i understand that there is no corridor, no humanitarian evacuation . unfortunately, russia is not going to do it. i would really like to be wrong and apologize for this but unfortunately we see

what is yes sir loudly and the last question very often in recent times i had to see the information of the statements of experts regarding the possible and where is the blocking of mariupol and some say that it is possible in the case when the russian occupying forces they will slow down their offensive and then it will be possible to do it, some say that it can be done only in a political way, that is, in your opinion, which of these ways is more likely and in the near future, of course, we should not abandon any attempts to make diplomatic diplomatic blockade politically, where is the blockade by humanitarian evacuation, what our partners are doing, what the country's leadership is doing, this is very important and it is definitely impossible to stop it in any case, that is, we must. these are attempts to do but

the situation is such that it does not give results, therefore, i directly believe in a military blockade, and from the conversations we have, the ukrainian army is very motivated, very targeted to carry out this operation in the future. as soon as there are conditions for this and how we understand that the most important condition is the supply of e in sufficient quantities of western heavy weapons that will allow us to carry out this military blockade. i believe in this. i believe in the courage of the ukrainian troops. military democrats thank you for your comment with us

, serhiy orlov, deputy mayor of mariupol , thank you well, we just heard the comment of the deputy mayor of mariupol, but according to russian president vladimir putin, there are no hostilities in mariupol, but as we already reported today , the azovstal plant remains under there are no shellings, as we have already started to evacuate from the green corridors, only some people manage to leave their native home in particular. and 87-year-old elvira port, a survivor of the drugu holocaust , was forced to go to kyiv svitova and her husband, and mykola petrov, a retired military sailor, an ethnic russian who saw the blockade of leningrad with his own eyes. well, they tell me that we can now discuss the topic of the nuclear threat, in particular, that three russian missiles flew over three ukrainian nuclear power plants . this was announced

by the president of ukraine volodymyr zelenskyy today, it is about zaporizhzhya khmelnytskyi and the southern ukrainian nuclear power plant, it happened the day before the day before, on the anniversary of the chernobyl disaster, according to assumptions, in this way russia threatens ukraine, the day before kyiv was visited by the general director of megater pl maryana grossi, they launched three missiles against ukraine, so they flew directly over the blocks of our nuclear power plants, and at once three nuclear power plants over zaporizhia, over khmelnytskyi and the south ukrainian nuclear power plant, what are they are they still threatening? are they aiming at each other? there are simply no words. it turns out that they do not realize what chernobyl is from the word at all. well, we will continue to talk about the nuclear threat from russia with olga kosharna, an independent expert on nuclear energy. i wish you a good evening. well,

volodymyr zelenskyi today announced that the russian military is deliberately launching missiles through ukrainian nuclear power plants in order to intimidate. this is generally a difficult question, and how did it turn out that the national guard was insufficient to prevent the occupiers from entering the zaporozhye station because the national guard was only armed weapon weapon i know absolutely for sure that in the country there is such a concept as a project threat that was reviewed at the beginning of the war, it is a secret document that is drawn up on the basis of intelligence data, eh, at the beginning of the war, it was reviewed, it is measures that need to be implemented, so to speak , eh, on atomic stations in

order to reduce threats, but as it turned out, the russian army fired heavy weapons at the power unit of the zaporizhia station , which launches rockets, and it remembers the first date three rockets flew over the southern part of the industrial area on april 16, 25 over the khmelnytskyi station and on the morning of the 26th, on the anniversary of the tragedy at the chernobyl nuclear power plant that occurred 36 years ago , two missiles flew over the zaporizhia station, at a low level there in general our nuclear power plants have a means against air defense, they don’t have such means at all, but why are they at this moment, when they flew over, i think that the debris would not fall in the event of an operation, after all

, because they can cause damage, and that ’s why humanity turned out to be powerless in the face of barbarism demonstrated by the russian federation in violation of the international convention on countermeasures. there is little realism. this is the first time in the world that the seizure of nuclear facilities is happening. that's what i wanted to clarify about the seizure of the zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant . practically since the beginning of this invasion, it has been occupied by the russian military, except to actually blackmail the ukrainian side, and again, to blackmail with what can they do there don't do it, or how about the chernobyl station. we remember that they cut off the power supply there, the station could not cool the blocks there , and so on. is it really possible that there could be some economic

benefit from this? zaporizhia station through on the night of march 4, employees came together er, er, the state concern rosato, which operates er , high-ranking people who operate the nuclear power plant there in the rostov region, there is balakovskaya , rostovskaya, and so on. what did they come in for? representatives of the russian federation to ensure security and perimeter protection, but my sources from the zaporozhye station say that they are afraid to walk even on the territory of the station, they even sit in a bunker to smoke, they go out together with armed soldiers who protect them, that's what the

purpose of the purpose is. i think it was first of all this is a theft of documentation because the realization of a complex program to improve service safety at our stations is focused on the lessons learned and we are actively cooperating and there is no longer any we do not receive engineering support and have refused russian companies since 14th year. always fought with the blackest methods of propaganda, the most vile, the most senseless , about the fact that these assemblies are not suitable for

soviet reactors, this is the whole line, in fact, it is very efficacious fuel is much better than e-e . it means that in terms of its qualities e-e according to technical indicators and there is know-how that the russian federation does not have, therefore, because e- monitoring was violated, online monitoring of the movement of nuclear material, which exists in riches, yes , it was the fear of experts that new and used assemblies will be stolen and exported to the russian federation for research and, let's say, steal the intellectual property of the westinghouse company because there are many technical mo did not dream of the russian federation. that 's why, uh, there was a dew there who dug into the documentation, how did we dig into this fuel together with the russians, who reviewed the technical documentation there , my personal sources

from the zaporizhia station told me. nuclear energy expert thank you russian president vladimir putin said that russia cannot sign security guarantees for ukraine without resolving the territorial issues of crimea and donbas putin said at the meeting with the un secretary-general, antonio otelish met with putin the day before in the kremlin, they discussed the war in ukraine otelish called the events in ukraine an invasion of its sovereign territory putin described the actions of the russian military as, i quote, a forced measure based on the results of the meeting, which lasted about an hour, the hotel also informed that he agreed with putin on the evacuation of civilians from the azovstal plant in mariupol with the participation of the un and the red cross, at the same time it is not specified whether it is about evacuation to the controlled ukraine

territories, are we talking about the removal of people to the so -called dpr or lpr well, as for the security guarantees, putin said that he cannot sign them until the negotiations with ukraine do not raise the issue of, as i have already mentioned , the belongings of crimea and donbas . the nature of crimea's relationship with sevastopol and the republic, we simply cannot , but nevertheless, the negotiations are ongoing and they are now taking place within the framework of the online format. i hope that this will lead us to something positive result well, let's talk further about the conditions put forward by putin with volodymyr ogryzko, minister of foreign affairs of ukraine 2007-2009. i congratulate you, i greet you. good day. well, what does putin want from ukraine? if we talk about crimea, donbass , comment on his ultimatums again

. well, you know nothing. there is nothing new. that is, this is what we have already heard many times. this is what he said dozens of times and what his delegation came to negotiate with first in belarus and then voluntarily retreated. of russia on their territory, well, you know, it happens with bandits who agree on something among themselves and agree to cede something to each other under pressure. well, you know, these are the fights of those people who live by the notion that russia lives according to the concepts, it already seems that everyone understood, but this does not mean at all that it will be as russia wants, and the world will not live according to these gangster

concepts or where to live according to the laws established by law, that is, that is what international law is for, well, but for putin, it is all things that he considers unimportant and his today the speech in st. petersburg once again confirmed that he lives in a completely parallel reality. well, we must say an obvious and clear no to these wishes. well, returning to the possible meeting between zelensky and putin, turkey promoted this meeting with the voice of the turkish defense minister ulusya kara in the president's office until that they emphasized that the context and dates of the meeting have not yet been determined, but it seems that there is no smoke without fire, and what do you think, are these conversations about a meeting in the near future, you know, missing

communication and i understood that the last phrase was your question about whether any preparations are being made for such a meeting yes yes the statement of the minister of turkish defense of turkey you know i will deal with this very calmly and here it is there is no smoke or fire, why is it because there is no ukrainian government, i can’t afford to take the issue of individual territories of ukraine by the brackets, as was said today, and pretend that we can talk about it so calmly such a government will simply fly out of its seats very quickly, in my opinion and we will have a different government, that's why i think that no one can and will not go to such things. and the fact that the

minister or president erdogan wants turkey to play some role as mediators of the mediator in the negotiations is quite it is clear that every politician earns political points on such matters, and president erdoğan and his government also want to not be the last in this regard. we will simply understand that these are exactly the attempts of those or other countries and their leaders are making money from this mediation, but the essence of the matter here is absolutely far away. thank you, mr. hryshko. volodymyr hryshko was with us. minister of foreign affairs of ukraine

2007-2009 . thank you very much. is already looking for more reliable suppliers, this is how they reacted in brussels to gazprom's decision to cut off supplies to two european countries, poland and bulgaria; putin's demand to pay for gas in rubles is not presented there , and russia has moved from threats to actions with us live from brussels correspondent of radio svoboda zoryana stepanenko er zoryana well, did any of the european capitals er collude, i.e. how did they react to this decision of russia and whether they would agree to putin's terms. congratulations serhiy, the kremlin's new gas provocation. that's what the european commission called russia's decision to cut off two european countries did not surprise anyone here with their supplies, the leadership has long been clear that russian energy carriers are a tool for blackmailing dependents, and the member states of the european union were preparing for this and developed plans in case such a turn of events and in brussels, they promise a quick

and unified response to russia, they say that they will make sure that europeans, poles and bulgarians, will be minimally affected by gazprom's decision. and in the long term, they will reduce dependence on unreliable russian supplies and replace them with reliable ones. today, the kremlin lost again trying to create a split in the european union. of fuel in europe is coming to an end and we will move forward in solving energy issues. the kremlin is to the detriment of its own economy because it deprived of its important revenues, poland and bulgaria became the first eu countries to be cut off by russia from their gas supplies, all because of their refusal to pay in rubles. moscow's step in warsaw was called dramatic, but suddenly they say it did not find anyone here, they assured that there is nothing to worry about, because ukraine will be able to get fuel from other directions and therefore protect their economy and households,

respectively, will not make concessions to the kremlin and sofia in the near future the bulgarians will not feel the deficit, promised the government and adding that the action plan is on the table and it includes, in particular, the mirror response to the russians of the spirit of gazprom gas, the termination of gas supplies from gazprom is a gross violation of the contract and blackmail. in response, we will review all agreements with gazprom, including the agreement on the transit of bulgaria, because unilateral blackmail is not acceptable in russia, and they continue to blackmail and threaten decisions turn off the faucet of bulgaria, poland , for example, the head of the state duma called it correct and proposed to do the same with other unfriendly countries. they insist that this is not blackmail. and they continue to call themselves a reliable supplier of things. it’s not happening in time. all these new models were

brought to the attention of buyers. the factor does not change. nothing changes for our customers . 10 european companies volunteered to account for new a-a accounts in gazprombank, writes the bloomberg agency, referring to the source of the promo, and four of them paid him in rubles. journalists asked about this today the president of the european commission reminded that this is a violation of the eu sanctions, and therefore, is there a small risk for such companies, which are the countries that have gone to officially pay in rubles for this? strictly adhere to the jointly introduced sanctions serhiu thank you, it was zoryana stepanenko from brussels about gas blackmail russia radio svoboda and

svoboda life farewell to you mtz tomorrow congratulations in the studio iryna kovalna clock 19th and news time on the espresso tv channel, save the mariupol garrison, the commander of the 36th separate marine brigade of the naval forces of the armed forces of ukraine, serhii volynskyi, asks to apply the extraction procedure to the defenders of mariupol. following the example of the dunkirk operation in 1940, during the second world war, military personnel were evacuated from places of hostilities in the safe zone, volynskyi noted that there are more than 600 wounded boys and hundreds of civilians in our group
