of our country, and in a few moments our colleagues from radio svoboda will join antin's live broadcast. in literally 10 seconds, what do you think biden will say? will start, so to speak, to raise degrees with calation, will assure that the entire international community is united on our side , with the exception of those countries that are pro-russian satellites, so to speak. thank you, antin borkovskyi my name is khrystyna yatskiv. radio svoboda greetings - this is the freedom of life. my name is serhiy stetsenko. we are talking for an hour about the 64th day of russia's large-scale invasion of ukraine . also on the air of the espresso tv channel, well, the russian army is increasing the pace of its offensive, it is most actively operating

in the slobojan and donetsk directions , it is sending additional forces to izyum and seeks to surround the armed forces of ukraine, this is reported by the general staff the ukrainian military on the svyatodar arc what russian forces are holding in donetsk region on the approaches to the city say that from the currently occupied debaltsevo, russian troops are launching ballistic missiles in the direction of the border along the line, the army of the aggressor country is shelling both combat positions and residential quarters, in particular in the york in donetsk region, three people were killed by shelling, what they are talking about on the front lines in the story of radio svoboda correspondent maryana kushnir 122 more now at the moment it's a bit so tense

that is, they also shoot through and can cover with mortars. well, as we noticed that they have it hourly, in principle, that is, at a certain time they start at a certain time, they finish at a certain time, it was at the beginning, when we first came here, there were mortars and grads and rpgs, even that same thing arrow of the day as they say, small arms were also present and it happened that they lost two comrades-in-arms, e.e. at the beginning of march, but they survived everything and only until victory in our country, for example, it was heard that for almost a month e.e. we were active at that time, it was comfortable, now they are on the opposite direction, they have calmed down a bit , switched to our direction, the only thing that is

stressful is when every morning you watch the exits of ballistic missiles from the direction of debaltsev, and we are at our border at the moment. if we shoot down, well, all hope for our fighters are a little behind, the russian troops are not as effective as they were told, russia may and wants to show that they can really do something, but it's just me cardan n massed with such meat is about that which was on the 14th, and now it seems to me like a business-like situation, there are simply no military tactics, strategies, i just use all the heavy weapons with business, the fact that they want to

break through the corridor to the crimea. explosions were heard again in russia today, in particular in belgorod, the local authorities reported that it was triggered by russian air defense, similar in russian cities has been happening quite often recently, in particular on march 4 in the village of tyokine, located on territory of the kursk region in russia, an ammunition warehouse

exploded on april 1 in the same russian city of belgorod, there was a fire at an oil depot, in response to accusations of attacks on belgorod, the ministry of defense of ukraine emphasized that they were conducting a defensive operation in an exclusive interview with radio svoboda, adviser to the president's office, mykhailo podolyak, said that the explosions at weapons depots and oil depots during the war, this is a completely normal process. of course, they wanted to sit in restaurants. yes, there were philosophical conversations, talking about what such a ukraine, we are there, and it’s very fast . we don’t know why they stole me. or how are they talking there? yes, we will be killed there in packs. they thought that it would be like this, but such a war for them. yes, a proxy war is happening somewhere over there, and we are sitting here. champagne,

caviar , and so on. it is clear to the russian federation that it does not matter who will fight there. perhaps they were there to create their own provocations. perhaps they will be undermined because they, too, have an ambiguous attitude . the most effective , by far. this creates panic in them, and the number of similar excesses will certainly continue to accumulate, not only in the border areas of the eu and regions with ukraine, but throughout the country why? because there is no strong vertical power in russia, today people in russia see that all this is a cornucopia of clay feet and that everything will fall to them, and certainly such excesses at the bases of the russian military and at the warehouses with weapons will only increase, even if ukraine is not involved in this,

of course we will watch it with interest and observe how the great and powerful russian power vertical falls, we will continue to talk about the consequences of fires at russian oil depots and warehouses with the military expert ex-decision maker of the general staff of the armed forces of ukraine vladyslav seleznyov, i congratulate you glory to ukraine glory to the heroes well, did you hear the comment of mykhailo podolyak that such explosions and fires are absolutely normal about it that it may be the same there in russia there are some forces that may not be quite i agree with the war in ukraine. how do you think they will continue and how can russia react to it? i absolutely agree with mr. podolak in the context of the fact that the russians will not be able to sit outside the state border under any circumstances russia and ukraine, and the war will definitely come to the homes of dear russians, and what is happening

now in the territories of the regions bordering ukraine is a completely legitimate response, and accordingly, the strength of the structures that create certain difficulties for the objects of the military infrastructure, the infrastructure that provides fuel in the occupying forces operating on the territory of our country and i am absolutely convinced that the ukrainian werewolves will continue their activities aimed at inflicting the most fiery striking blows on objects of military infrastructure on the territory of the aggressor country, this is absolutely normal and it is absolutely honest, russian soldiers, russian missiles are destroying objects on the territory of ukraine, we act in accordance with those conditions and everything that is created and cry- ukraine, which suffers from russian aggression , has the right to use the entire spectrum of possibilities in order to destroy the russian occupiers, regardless of where they are located . well, today i read information that in some

areas that are on the border with ukraine with russians are already being prepared there, or rather, the local authorities have ordered the preparation of bomb shelters, that is, to prepare, doesn’t this mean that russia is also preparing for some kind of counteroffensive of ukraine, which may go outside the borders of ukraine, of course, i don’t know about the plans of the ukrainian general staff. is a counteroffensive planned? measures, including beyond the borders of the state border between ukraine and the russian federation, but the fact that, accordingly, the structures and e-e organizations e-e exercise the powers that are assigned to them in accordance with the norms and rules of civil defense is an absolutely normal position, and more. as far as i know, in the regions of the russian federation bordering ukraine, a corresponding regime of tourism threats has been introduced, according to which there are certain restrictions on the activities of both citizens of these regions and, accordingly,

social processes that take place in these regions again after all, russia launched a large, full-scale war against our country, therefore, in the war, all means are appropriate, because the key task entrusted to the armed forces of ukraine is to destroy the enemies are lower and the occupiers so that the zone returns to peace as soon as possible. with which we will also discuss the latest current situation. danilov greets you. well, here is the latest information from chernihiv oblast. it is reported that russian troops shelled the border post the other day with mortars were fired at sumy oblast, so officially there are no russian troops in chernihiv oblast or

sumy oblast, however, such cases happen, it means that they are preparing to return there. is this just some kind of provocation? to date, there is a sufficient number of troops there for them to enter this territory, they have now abandoned everything in the territory of the donetsk luhansk kharkiv regions, that is where their troops are now, what are they? so, when they were defeated in the territory in kyiv, in sumy, in chernihiv region, they have regrouped there and they are all there now, they don’t have the ability to strike, but they still have rocket strikes. the date is the so-called victory day, do you have any information about the

preparation of some more offensive actions? is it possible that you have any other information that is being prepared to sit down? well, of course they wanted to have a big parade on khreschatyk on may 9. they thought that they would be able to do it, because these were only plans for the month of february, but we see that now april is already ending, but they are close, they can’t get close, it’s not that the defenders are there , they can’t get close even on the territory of the entire donetsk and luhansk regions, but they are trying all kinds of things, well, let’s say so there is a way to do all this, now there are ongoing battles, they are difficult, they are difficult, first of all, i want to say that i do not reassure our citizens that victory will be tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, until victory, that our military must put in a lot of effort and everyone is sometimes involved in this, ah, let's go now. to the territory that is temporarily occupied, this is

kherson region. according to your information, what is going on there , what are the prospects for these pseudo-referendums, which already have dates for the appointment of these refer-pse to referendums? - first of all, these are not referendums. this is the usual class of karachists, which is used to allegedly legalize those actions that they, uh, carried out, they have no legal, international significance. this is the usual racism that flourishes today so in the nature of the fried territory of the russian federation and they have an attempt let's say so to bring it to our country i am no longer sure that even if there will be some let's say so uh actions there they definitely cannot pull no no referendum because the russian federation to our territories have nothing to do with it, these are invaders who came to our land, and in the near future the children will be removed either in a load of 200 or in some other

way, they will go to themselves and our military will make it possible for this to happen as soon as possible well, but there already since may 1st . as far as i understand, they already want to introduce money into circulation in a rough way. look, this is the classic formula of the service, this is the classic formula of these expansionists, when they seize this or that territory, they want to change the banking system, how long will it take root in the kherson region, i can tell you for sure that it will not take root for a certain time, they may have some attempts to make such a currency, a pseudo currency that should move on the territory, but bearing in mind the opposition that the people of kherson and all the citizens of our country are doing, i am more than sure that it is for a short period of time that the russian federation does not have the ability to take over our country, but again in kherson, the day before the press service of the legislative

assembly of the krasnoyarsk region supported the decision to import grain from the kherson region. then this message has disappeared, but it has remained in the cache. do you know what and in what quantities kherson oblast exports to russia, because there is already a report that ukrainian e there products are, uh, marauders who take everything they see, of course, the practice of racism in cleaning everything they see, what they can physically seize using, let's say, a temporary opportunity, not only the grain that you are now mentioning, it's also toilets, it's also household goods technology well, look, this is a country that has never seen anything in its life, but when they saw how our citizens live, it was a miracle for them. and they grab it, let's say it as they say among the

people here, they are digging for noise, but i emphasize once again. i'm not sure that it won't last long, moreover, it's grain and that's all we do, it's in the state of kyiv in their throats. that's right, they won't swallow it, because you know, the troops either go to fight or go to marauding. that 's two others, let's say yes, there are completely different things that should be happening, but unfortunately we see not only looting, we see terrorism, we see what they did in ukrainian cities and we can't find out about that yet, well, it's just that i don't know how such a country is at all generally exists on maps the world, and more than that, how to buy countries, some respectable people are going to talk to a person who is a modern doctor, mr. danilov. well, if possible, a little more detail about the situation at the front, because there is. today i saw several analyzes of how the situation can develop now, and some of them say

that the ukrainian military, uh, the armed forces of ukraine can get uh, in the encirclement, including in the raisin area, are there any chances that this will happen , and uh, what is the current situation. let's talk with you that this is a war. always difficult the thing is that today our troops are holding the defense today our troops are repelling the aggressor including in the territory he called where there is sumy there are battles going on heavy battles are going on in kharkiv oblast heavy battles are going on today in donetsk and luhansk lands and they continue to this day. well, we talk more when it is reported that russian troops are advancing there. this means positional offensives, that is, when, for example, the armed

forces of ukraine retreat because there is simply nowhere to hold the position is it after all the capture of populated areas there, they are trying to break through our defense and the defense holds a place in some cities for them this is given, but our troops return to the situation very quickly let's say the opposite side once again to this war so different things happen there and if today, even in the mountains, if he advanced somewhere for a kilometer, it was 30. this does not mean that the program is our battle, but i can say that our troops in other cities are also pushing back from our territory, they are powerful military actions on the territory of these three regions that i have named to date, in addition, there is, let's say, today's day of military action in the kherson region and on it in other territories of our country, but we have never underestimated the russian troops and i always said that there is no need to say that the

enemy is weak, he is today, he has the capabilities, first of all, because of the huge amount of equipment, which it is, the huge amount of ammunition, which they are, and this is a powerful enemy with which we must fight, and our troops with him will manage. our boys and girls defend our country every day. we send conditionally, let's say , two hundred to their native homeland . especially what concerns the donetsk region, they have crematories not only for burning our population, but they also burn their soldiers in order not to pay the money that the fuehrer proposed for the death of their soldiers is not there there is no soldier. let’s say this is not how to retaliate, a person

is counted among them as a missing person, well, such russians are more than danylo. please tell me about the weapons that were promised to us by western partners, partners in particular the usa and there was information that part of the heavy weapons should already be in ukraine please tell me if it is already being used or if it is still undergoing training and how quickly it can and will it be able to change the positions of the parties. it will definitely change the positions of the parties . i wanted to train a large number of our troops because this is a new weapon, we have to get used to it and learn how to use it. now it has just started. if we asked every day for another 2-3 weeks to give us heavy weapons, give us heavy weapons, then for today it is the issue has already been resolved, the next stage is when our military personnel will be trained

to use these weapons, and i believe that this will be a great help to our country, moreover, in the near future, the enemy will feel this very weapon that we have today we received from our partners the united states of great britain and other countries. today we have already begun to feel that we are receiving more and more in order to beat our enemy. how is this war developing now, after all , when can it end and from whom. at this stage, it depends on whether it is political or military - it depends only on our army, but i am not a fan of naming dates the end of the war, moreover, i say that it will be a difficult battle, it was a difficult war and to expect that everything will end tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, we can not talk to you, especially since i am responding to a person, i cannot introduce roman to our population,

there will be more battles ahead, which must our troops will definitely win, as for the political breaker, the situation also depends on putin, he can end the war at any moment by signing the capitulation, laying down his arms, withdrawing his troops so that our troops do not i sent them in polyethylene black bags to their relatives and friends. thank you for your comment. oleksiy danilov, the secretary of the national security and defense council of ukraine, was with you. law enforcement officers and emergency rescue services are working at the scene of the incident, the city authorities are resolving the issue of resettlement of the residents of the affected buildings, correspondents of radio svoboda we visited the scene of the event, we collect in the yard poorly.

here, please, i just don’t know what it’s called in russian, peace, according to people, i don’t know, but it will tear and won’t stop. the house, brother, father, lives. well, you were at home. i heard. a little bit early, so that you can cover yourself, he was on the roof, he understood immediately what was here, that there was a manual object, we

took a warehouse of weapons here, there were supplies, he was located . that's great , this hole flew by, well, we threw it out of here such pieces of scrap metal, well, he, he, he is not, he is lying around, here are these, well, how many dana, here is a hole in yours, anu, so that the certificate is held by a bondwoman, here it is polished, well, this wall went here, and there, inside, there , go there, where, go there, there is a crack, russia , there, a vremyanka, too, the signal went off, the slate didn't fly at all, it was flying badly, we didn't have time to get there, we didn't have time to get a call

that we heard a loud explosion at work and immediately came here. there is a rocket sticking out of the ground into the room during the explosion. that is, i closed the door of the kraz behind me. in fact, i was lucky that is человек комнаты у меня окно, that is, the reality un secretary antonio otelish

is visiting ukraine today, in addition to official meetings, he also visited borodyanka and bucha , cities that were previously occupied by the occupiers, and showed the secretary general the destroyed houses of both places, which were perhaps the most affected by the actions of the russian occupiers in the kyiv region the secretary general arrived in ukraine after a visit to moscow, where he met with putin and proposed to create a coordination group through which green corridors for civilians would be agreed of people and humanitarian goods for this purpose, the un coordinator in ukraine has already left for zaporizhzhia. here i imagine my family in one of these houses, which are now destroyed and black. i see my granddaughters fleeing in panic, and part of the family is probably killed. this terrible scenario shows that something, unfortunately, is always true, namely that civilians

always pay the highest price. innocent civilians lived in these houses. they pay the highest price for a war in which they are not at all involved. well, let's talk about secretary general hoon's visit to ukraine. oleksandr matsyuk and ukrainian diplomat, head of the secretariat of the un security council from 2009 to 2016, i congratulate you. please tell me how important this visit was. how important was it that it took place after he went to moscow and met with putin? i think it would be better if it were the other way around. b and for the general secretary and for the image of the organization, that he first came to the victim of aggression and then left with that vision and that information, now he was a little

shocked. he came to the kremlin with this - with this feeling of these losses that uh-uh happened to ukraine, what happened as it happened in this case uh-uh, we have to perceive reality as it is, it's important, it's important that uh, the un finally, uh, the leadership the un, in the person of the secretary general, joined all those who visited kyiv and expressed their support for the ukrainian authorities. well, we know that the un coordinator in ukraine has already left for zaporizhzhia, but according to your opinion, we know that there are a lot of humanitarian corridors they were promised from mariupol ah, and they didn’t, well, they couldn’t, they couldn’t evacuate people, because everything was under fire anyway, but

now the coordinator has left, so do you really think that this visit to moscow can solve this issue? to be honest, i’m not sure, because really moscow no, she never keeps her words, but the fact that she went to uh-uh, this is important, the un shows that they, uh-uh, the organization is ready to uh-huh, uh-uh, to do everything possible, in fact, she puts moscow on a stretcher, that is, if moscow they won't let it then it will be excluded on the conscience of the kremlin and the person who leads this convoy is the un coordinator, she is the person who will strive, that is, if she doesn't do it, no one

will . face well, if, for example, just like from the experience of the past, the russian side will not comply with anything. i do not know what the punishments for this may be, that is, what sanctions are provided by the un if there is an agreement and they anyway, it will not be fulfilled. well, it's an agreement, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not some kind of contractual obligation. well, if they promised, they promised, they gave a promise, took away a promise . that is, this is more moral, that is russia is once again showing its face, the direct consequences for russia will not be of any legal nature, but the political consequences, of course , are piling up. look at what is being done . they thought that something could be added to russia, and some europeans are now saying it themselves. that russia has become no
