pro-russian pseudo-state entity on the territory of the region, on the side of the enemy, a special report from the last ukrainian village on the border of ukraine, belarus and russia, where is the war divided not only the countries of aerodyna, primarily about the situation at the front 50-8 people were evacuated from popasna in luhansk region this was reported by the head of the luhansk regional military administration, according to him, the evacuation from luhansk region will continue as long as possible russia continues to attack the east of ukraine in order to establish full control over donetsk region and luhansk region the general staff of ukraine reports, in particular, according to the agency, russia shelled the kharkiv dergachy slobozhan oblast and the

prudyanka settlement in the donetsk-tavriya direction with artillery the russians continued to shell the positions of the ukrainian troops with mortars and barrel artillery in mariupol, street battles continue near zostaliyu, the air is running out, the attacks on the plant are not abating, the mayor's advisor petro andryushchenko said to save civilians and wounded soldiers, the commander of the marines in mariupol, serhii volynskyi, called on our group to have more than 600 wounded boys of different levels of severity, they are in great need of help here, there are no conditions, no medicines, and no personnel who could help, there are wounded civilians, whom we provide as much as we can help with us, there are hundreds of civilians, dozens of children, many people with disabilities , many elderly people, the situation is very difficult, there is a problem with water, food, various supplies, ammunition, civilians are dying with

us in bunkers in private houses in high-rise buildings where they are simply shot at the mariupol azovstal plant there are at least two thousand civilians, the mariupol city council reported in a telegram, the un is ready to evacuate the residents of mariupol. this was announced the day before by general secretary of the un antonio otelish emphasized that thousands of civilians there are in dire need of rescue humanitarian aid. a week has passed since the last humanitarian corridor that the russians left mariupol with those who left the city. russia continues to bombard the plant despite assurances that it will not do so - the azov regiment, which protects the facility, published this video on the network of a wounded woman, it says that

there are still up to a thousand civilians in bunkers, but president putin insists that there are no attacks and accuses the ukrainian military of using civilians as human shields , the united nations calls for humanitarian access to mariupol, kateryna fled the city with her husband and two children, the youngest ani , two years old, they managed to bypass the russian checkpoint to get to the peaceful territory at the first block of the settlement and on the way out of the city at the first checkpoint the man pointed a weapon at us and did not let us go until he saw that there was a child with us. well, it was very scary , it was scary. i thought it was the end. i thought that everything would remain in the group. i see that our company natalia left mariupol a month ago, she hopes that her home is still standing

despite the shelling, more and more such residents natalia says that russian soldiers kicked them out of their homes and moved them to the cities that they control , she remembers the moment when she and a hundred of her neighbors were found in the bunker where they were hiding, i understood что сейчас что то будет i realized that at this moment something bad must happen, after that everything collapsed, all my hopes disappeared, i realized that these are people whom i did not invite, did not wait for and did not want them to come now natalya and her husband live in central ukraine, she says they hitchhiked from the city of primorsk kateryna and her family are also safe now they are living in a shelter for now but she says it's hard to believe the hell they came through honor just

listen it's peace and quiet a huge relief for families who previously had to spend the night under heavy shelling, but the volunteers here say that due to the blockade of mariupol and the fact that people cannot get out of there, the number of people arriving here has decreased, they will probably spend another night under a powerful bombardment with flash grenades and tear gas, the russians dispersed the rally in in kherson, it was held against the so-called referendum, reports public kherson, one of the local telegram channels has a video about how it happened. it can be seen as a rally they start throwing grenades and people run through the streets, there is information about four victims, but it is difficult to check the data from the occupied city from independent sources in the region about what we managed to find out, let's talk with kherson journalist liza zarykh, who is now in a safe place

outside the occupied kherson liza good evening tell me, please what do you know about the dispersed rally? good evening. first of all, i want to say that i think that the people who went to this rally knew that it would be dispersed just like this. it was before that, but they still came because it is important for the people of kherson to state their position and those people who came to freedom square today. i think that not only for me personally, but for all the people of kherson, for those who left and for those who stayed. and they are heroes. there is information uh about the injured uh, they had a common knowledge that this is a man with an open leg fracture, he is 50 years old , a smoke grenade exploded next to them, a woman with burns and a ruptured lung, she is 71 years old, two more people received burns to the eyes and nasopharynx, it is not known whether it

were there participants in the rally or just people who were passing by, it might also be important that there are no protest leaders in kherson, people are spontaneously gathering. i think it was the same today and this is exactly what the occupiers cannot understand. i know that on at the first rallies, they told people to leave , please, this is not accepted in our country, that is, they cannot understand that people simply come out to show their position and for this they do not need any leader or any decree lisa, you managed to leave the city, what could you tell us about how behaved there the occupying forces and actually what do people risk when they go to such rallies and about the mood among the residents of kherson a-a well, they behave like shackles, they set up roadblocks, they check their documents in public transport, they are

constantly looking for someone, that is, they checked my documents when i was just riding a trolleybus there was a trolleybus full of pensioners and i, and we all checked the documents of the pensioners, looked at their id cards in kherson, you cannot leave the house without cleaning your phone, that is, if you have something any postscripts, contacts, you should delete everything before leaving because it's very simple. well, you can be stopped on the street and asked to ask for two phone numbers. you can leave your house and take out the trash there and see russian soldiers smoking , and it's very difficult actually in the city to be so convenient, you can come to the market and you can see how those soldiers buy pies for hryvnias and you understand that this is a true teaching, she simply cannot refuse them because they have a machine gun and if you live in kherson, in principle

the people of kherson know where the occupiers keep the people and those people who are released there after rallies or after other detentions and they say that they heard the screams of the people who are being tortured and in order to detain you. you just might fall under the hot hand , you might not belong to some category of people that they are looking for but nevertheless you can yes you can not go to the rally but you can end up uh actually uh in their captivity uh we have a very difficult in kherson there was and remains a situation with medicines, food, it is written everywhere as a compound called a difficult humanitarian situation, but in fact, behind these three words, a difficult humanitarian

situation, uh, hides human tragedies, especially this applies to medicines, and if somehow it was possible and still is possible to find medicine, it is only thanks to volunteers and these medicines, everything one thing was not enough and it is not enough, and now all roads to kherson are completely closed and it is impossible to deliver medicine, we had a story when the occupiers kidnapped a driver who was carrying medicine from an unoccupied territory and drugs worth $7,000 were taken. these were medicines that people urgently needed in hospitals, and they were simply taken away with food. the same situation, large chain

supermarkets in kherson are closing. prices, and when i was there last time, it was e kilogram of balikov conditionally. i understand that this is not an essential product, but it is very telling that it cost 800 uah and more and more appear every day russian goods from and goods from the crimea are there, i don’t know, citrus bananas, it’s obvious that they were brought not from the unoccupied territory, but from somewhere in the crimea, but the price for them is again 150 uah, and about us they sold eggs from chuvash and this is quite cynical because the chernobaiv poultry farm was destroyed , that is, kherson region could provide itself with eggs and some products, but it was all destroyed

. in some villages there is no connection, no light, no electricity there is no gas, there is no water, people are trying to somehow survive and evacuate, but it is very difficult to do, and we simply do not know about many crimes of the occupiers, because there is no connection with these communities, and in kherson and in the region there is a shortage of cash, only a small percentage of pensions were received by people who received and through ukrposhta and with this i also have problems because there is little food and little money but nevertheless, in the sun they try to somehow support each other and those who left try to help those who stayed and each of those who stay on the whole of kherson region, not only in kherson, there is great hope that kherson region will be freed. thank you very much, lisa, and very briefly, if possible, there are statements about the kremlin's attempts to create a so-called people's republic based on the

analogue of the self-proclaimed people's republic of china and dpr. some of these theses will not pass, they better reflect reality, and from what you see, i think that they will not be able to hold a referendum, they will only be able to simulate it, because the people who live in the kherson region, where they support the occupiers in any way, are hanged people take down their flags and the red flag , for example, in slavy park, military personnel are present, and these are such examples that show how much the people who live here are against the occupation authorities and are not disposed to any cooperation with them. thank you very much liza , stay safe, we hope and more about international events poland and bulgaria called blackmail the fact that russia cut off their gas, the deputy minister of foreign affairs of poland marcinschik further told the bbc that russia seeks to stir up strife between

western allies, while warsaw said that will manage without russian gas from today russia has stopped supplying gas to poland and bulgaria because these countries refused to pay for it in rubles in sofiyivka called it a serious breach of contract the president of the european commission removed von der leyen said that this step demonstrated russia's unreliability as an energy supplier gazprom's message that they unilaterally stop gas supplies to some eu member states - this is another provocation from the kremlin, but it is not surprising that the kremlin uses their energy resources in order to blackmail us, this is what the european commission was preparing for in close coordination and solidarity with member states and international partners. our response will be immediate, united and coordinated. they are not the only

countries that refused russia's demand to pay for gas in rubles. other countries report that they continue to receive gas as usual, in particular austria, which is calculated in euros, and germany. the only eu country that offers to pay for its russian gas in rubles is hungary against this background germany is sending additional military aid to ukraine, it is about the first batch of heavy weapons from berlin, cheetah anti-aircraft tanks, and britain demands to double kyiv's support about the heated confrontation between russia and ukraine and the cold one with europe bbc correspondent andrew plant ukrainian armored vehicles are heading to the front line in the donbas, where russian troops are strengthening strikes but russia is now resisting not only the ukrainian resistance, but also the countries that help ukraine moscow stops gas supplies

to poland in response to sanctions introduced against russian companies in dracaë without registration received threats from the russian federation from gazprom poland has already prepared to persify gas supplies, we will be able to protect our economy, protect households and poles thousands of people continue to flee from hostilities in ukraine due to such a drastic step by russia russia in the wake of new tensions with the west announced that it can attack specific targets in ukraine even if western workers are present there, at the same time, germany announced that it would send about 50 anti-aircraft guns to the ukrainian front tanks is a serious change in the policy of berlin. the minister of foreign affairs of great britain listras in his speech in the evening plans to promise to support kyiv in the long term and to declare that britain and other countries should send military aircraft to

ukraine. the head of the international atomic energy agency warned the world that, according to him, russia should no longer be trusted with nuclear facilities, no one in the world can feel safe knowing that number of atomic facilities, nuclear weapons and poor technologies are in the russian state andrii kyiv, they just demolished a monument that symbolized the historical ties between ukraine and russia, there is still hope for negotiations that can end the war, but russia does not show any signs that it is ready to change its course to kyiv, where he is scheduled to hold talks with president volodymyr zelenskyi and minister of foreign affairs dmytro kolega, this visit should strengthen the political, diplomatic and humanitarian mission of the united nations in ukraine such hopes expressed the president of the ukrainian

foreign policy association, volodymyr khandogiy, he was one of the initiators of the appeal to the head of the un with a call to immediately come to kyiv, before that the un secretary general visited moscow, where president putin justified the unleashed war in ukraine, volodymyr khandogiy called his statements cynical, complete delusion, i don't i know who this is aimed at, especially the general secretary, who clearly knows that the resolution of the general assembly that was recently adopted clearly qualifies the actions of the russian federation as a military aggression against ukraine, putin in his repertoire, he is white, black is said black is white, and here it is not an exception in this sense, he became the object of such, you know, herbytsov lies that emanate from channels and from high-ranking officials of the russian federation, not diplomatic the track from the mouth of the president of russia - this is exactly the opposite. on the

contrary, it is military action, i don't know what he was counting on. he is probably counting on the fact that ukraine will give in to the demands or ultimatums put forward by putin at one time, not the russian federation it is possible that to his audience his own russian where they will say that putin once again proposed a political settlement, diplomatic steps, some methods, but here you already know that the train has left and the whole world understands what we are talking about and the whole world is ready and we are ready ukraine is ready and so are our partners to the negotiations to some diplomatic steps but before everything , two issues must be discussed at these negotiations: the real integrity of ukraine within the internationally recognized borders and the restoration of sovereignty in those territories.

the second and third, of course, is possible, even the first is the absolute withdrawal of the russian armed forces from the territory of ukraine, at least in the positions that existed on the 23rd of that year, the situation in the unrecognized transnistria continues to worsen, the so-called ministry of internal affairs of transnistria reported about drones over the village of sausage and accused ukraine of the shelling, no confirmation from official sources, this information is not available before ukraine, as well as the official government of moldova, announced the provocation , the president of moldova, sandu, convened a council countries in the village of sausage the largest ammunition depot in eastern europe and since soviet times, despite the extreme caution of the actions and rhetoric of the moldovan authorities at the very beginning of the russian invasion of ukraine, there are increasingly frequent speculations about the threat of moldova's involvement in the conflict, whether

russia will be able to involve moldova in the war against ukraine, zhanna asked bezpiachok from the expert of the analytical center ukrainian prisma anna shelest, is there a possibility that moldova can be involved in it, and the chances are quite small because, in principle, we must understand that the topic of transnistria has been used since 2014, namely as a possible threat due to the placement of an illegal russian contingent there, and this has always been an internal political issue in moldova, which is quite serious in moldovan and russian relations and for ukrainian national security, therefore, in principle , all parties they are ready for this and they are ready for the fact that, in principle, something could happen, some provocations could happen there. the question is to what extent the transnistrian leadership is ready to respond to this and how interested is it or not is not interested in destabilization, the last two months have basically shown that they would not really like to commit themselves to this war yet, because loyalty to russia so far and giving free gas is

one thing and supporting your political regime there, you already have it. at the moment ready or against russia interested in using the military airfield in tiraspol for the war against ukraine well let's look at the geography first it is impossible first these planes or these additional forces need to be delivered somehow to transnistria, for this you need to fly into ukrainian airspace, in any case you can bypass it only if you fly through romania and moldova, did you understand that as soon as they fly in, even approaching ukrainian territory, the ukrainian fleet can work as needed and our anti-aircraft forces have very clearly stated that they will kill any aircraft so that it is not just some fighter there that could do it. for this, in principle, you do not need to be transnistria, odesa oblast, it was great fired from the territory of the caspian sea. that is, we

understand, yes. there is no need to approach us here. and if we are talking about additional ground-based forces, then they are only large, heavy ones. they are usually not fast, so they are very excellent targets for ukrainian defense forces. very risky is what was feared in the odesa region - this is in the event that there would be a full-scale attack already on the city, that is, we believe that mykolaiv is under the control of 140 km between mykolaiv and odesa under the control of our troops even a naval landing force is landed here. at that time , it was possible to imagine that these fifteen thousand russian troops would be involved in some way from the western direction, but by themselves they are not so much. well, let's say that they would be effective, because plus, let's not forget that almost half of these conditions are on the russian troops they are local residents, they simply have a russian passport. and some have not only a russian passport , but also a moldovan or ukrainian one, but even with these

they keep their salary from the russian government, it is one thing to fight for the russian government in fact, we have a large one, because from transnistria to odesa is somewhere around 50 km. they understand that it will not be such that it will not touch their own territory, but many people would not want this, so in fact we can talk about half of the compared to what is on paper, russia and unrecognized transnistria accused ukraine of shelling their infrastructure, for which the russian leadership and, accordingly, transnistrian separatists may need it ah, it is not profitable to blame moldovan transnistria in principle at the moment plus they were usually very contemptuous of their security slopes, so if they could show that they were able to do something here, it would be, well, not in the same category, but there is

only ukraine and so somewhere it is even possible to serve the russian federation there without actually sending the military, so i think that the first thing to be afraid of is transnistria, so that it does not in any case go to rapprochement with moldova. this is an attempt to distract some ukrainian forces in the transnistrian direction, the russian military left the north of ukraine at the beginning of april, but mortar fire and grenade explosions continue to be heard in the border areas, the bbc film crew visited the ukrainian village of senkivka, which in chernihiv oblast was once a checkpoint across the state border of ukraine with belarus and russia and the sign of friendship between the three countries held festivals, now the front line ran here and local residents talk about the separation of families by borders and about the fear that entered their lives, there is more in the plot, there are guitars

in ukraine, there are almost no roads left that would not have been torn up by the war, destroyed in order to contain the russian military cities, we are heading to the northern border of ukraine to the village of senkivka, which is in chernihiv oblast, on the border it borders russia and belarus, the village is being shelled and now most of its inhabitants have left, the remaining units of nina lightning live with a rocket that has hit her neighborhood since the beginning of the invasion of the houses of local civilians it is well visible in russia and they can clearly see where they are shooting, it is scary to live like this, there are only five people left in our village, but where should i go ? i can hear the shelling and i can even show you the checkpoint of the russians, it is visible from my yard, i do not know how to live on, my heart is very sad is mute and lacks tears by the road, we find other rockets, experts who saw these images say that it could contain cluster

munitions, the use of which is accused by both russia and ukraine, this is one of the roads that we traveled russian soldiers when they invaded ukraine from the north marched on kyiv and chernihiv today the epicenter of the war has shifted to the southeast of the country from this village in the north russian soldiers retreated about three weeks ago, but there is a feeling that everything can change within a matter of minutes in this video of ukrainian border guards you can see how russian troops entered the shelter in february they offered little military resistance. lydia bilousova, who was 91 years old, saw tanks so close for the second time in her life. she remembers how she hid in the trenches during the second world war, but says that then we did without the current mass shelling. once i had a village to escape to. now i don't have to and i will not leave here for any reason in the world. i will tell you that there is nothing good in war. we have been friends with russia and belarus for many years. people from our countries visited

each other and got married. my late husband was in belarusian, most of the people who spoke spoke about friendship and families who lived across borders. these ties are now severed. mykhailo dudka's brothers and sister live in russia. and what did my sister say that we did? my sister told me that we started war but we had no such intentions, russia invaded us as if it wanted my family to think for itself and judge the situation independently, but nina stopped communicating with her brother who lives in belarus altogether. he says that america attacked us. you blame russia, he lives only 8 km from the border and does not believe in what is happening. in fact, i want to cut him out of my life because of this, she says after we left the village . grenade explosions were heard in its vicinity, no one was hurt, but threats that it can happen remains and this is all the news for today, the 63rd day of the

russian full-scale war in ukraine, more in history and videos, look for it on our website bbc ley and on our pages in social networks, stay tuned my greetings to all viewers of the live and express yuliya spachynska, no, you were not mistaken, this is the program matvia ganapolskyi will help him today and i will immediately introduce a guest who will discuss all important topics with us during this hour. the guest of our studio is oleg synyutka, a people's deputy from the european solidarity faction. greetings oleg christ is risen, as they say in
