many employees of the espresso tv channel became the frontline of the armed forces of ukraine, territorial defense volunteer battalions and volunteer paramilitary formations of territorial communities. my name is artem shevchenko. i am a senior lieutenant of the armed forces of ukraine. by the espresso tv channel, i am chornovol tetyana, junior lieutenant, fire calculation commander of the anti-tank missile defense system, stugna. here is what i picked up this is a lucky tube from a rocket, the rocket that crushed an enemy tank only 20 km from kyiv flew out of it. i worked at espresso for the last year. i want to say that i also stopped russian tanks there. i work as a director on the espresso tv channel on february 24.

i joined the ranks of the armed forces to defend the independence of our state with arms in hand, my colleagues remained at the forefront of the information front or to defend one of the most important values ​​of a democratic society, freedom of speech, information security of the state, such a decision turning off these tv channels, in particular espresso from the t2 digital network, is no different than some kind of information in a political, er, political if you want to call it persecution or a stupid political decision, i can’t call it, i don’t know if it was an oversight or if this is a real special operation to harm the ukrainian broadcaster but i believe that in the conditions of war this is at least an application for

treason, we have the right to know who did it and whether he had any reason for it, moreover, we have the right to demand return espresso armed forces of ukraine is winning do not share these victories ukraine is winning precisely because the voice of the patriots is sounding it sounded and sounds and you can't turn it off now president zelenskyi return expresso to the air let's protect the information front together glory to ukraine of the time with us right now oleksandr

musienko head of the center for military legal studies oleksandr vitayu congratulations well, here is the latest news from mariupol about mariupol and let's talk. we see that in mariupol and the suburbs, the houses of the owners who left the occupied territory are inhabited by unknown people, such a so -called permit is issued by the so-called village council, which works under the banner of the so-called dpr this was reported by residents of the mariupol village of stariy krym and said that it is difficult to imagine that something like this is happening in the civilized world and it is painful to realize that this is happening in our cities. well, oleksandr, the world is ready to help save people in mariupol from of russian bombings, however, the russian side rejects all

proposals . aviation artillery for the destruction of azovstal and the russians, realizing that there are children, civilians , wounded soldiers, that this contradicts the geneva conventions, it contradicts any rules, the principle of humanism, they continue to do it and we actually know that the evacuation of azovstal was supposed to take place yesterday , and the world's media routers talked about it about this and our representatives of the ukrainian authorities, however, as we can see from the lack of news at this moment . so far, there is nothing good to tell us, what do you think about the situation in mariupol, what to expect and what does the occupier achieve what does putin achieve by creating this mariupol oblastim? well, i really agree that terrible events are taking place and uh, we saw what happened, these are these acts

of genocide against the ukrainian people, which were applied on the instructions of putin, apparently by the russian military, those that were in borodyanka in irpeni is in other settlements under our capital near our capital and of course here are these photos that were shown from satellites about mass burials that may be in mangosh in in other places near mariupol they are horrifying and even well, let's put it this way, one can only imagine how many victims there can be among primarily the civilian population, what must be understood, i will tell you that mariupol once again proves that putin is not fighting only with the ukrainian army, russia is not fighting with ukrainians military russians are as interested in victories as they are interested in simply knowing the decision of the ukrainian population to destroy normal conditions for life and let's say the extermination of all living things that

they see on their way, this is the method of such a war of the asian horde, they use the worst possible practices, and we see that today any appeals that come, of course, from the ukrainian authorities, from all of us, from the international community, from the un secretary general, are being ignored. that is, we see that there is no reaction, unfortunately today there is none, although i think that the efforts of the politician are diplomatic, they will be. they need to be applied in the future to give peaceful citizens and our defenders a way out of there. what is putin achieving? putin answers. can i say whether the entire russian army, led by putin, they just want further destruction, for them it means in the future to simply demonstrate how they are fighting against whom they call nazis , that is, our military, our battalion of azov and others

, and they are interested in this very picture, they do not want to make any concessions at least while, unfortunately, the italian media report that putin refused three times , according to the italian media, even the idea of ​​evacuating people by ship with the vatican flag was discussed, however, the kremlin noted that it was not can guarantee any safety during the evacuation of people from mariupol, presumably hinting at ukraine, they refused the pope well, as for the un, we remember that un secretary general antonio guterres visited moscow er visited vladimir putin sat with him at this long table trying to agree on something, thinking that brought such an agreement to kyiv, but almost at the same time, we heard statements from the kremlin

that there was no talk of any agreements and that there was nothing of the sort, so the hotel, we remind you, suggested that it coordinate efforts to evacuation from mariupol and actually yesterday, the un coordinator of humanitarian programs for the country osnad lubrani left for zaporozhye to prepare for the evacuation from mariupol before yesterday she left yesterday some kind of news was expected, at least preliminary news well, we see that there is no news. if so, who or what can change this situation if already the pope and the secretary general of the united nations did not succeed and perhaps they did not do enough. to look at this issue in general, i just don’t really

imagine how they can get there, but today you see what is. look at russia’s reaction, first of all, there are lies and fakes on fakes and why. because, on the one hand, they say that they have already gained victory and mariupol, according to their version , was liberated in quotation marks, yes, but we understand that in fact it is captured and temporarily occupied and the situation is under control, the question arises. why can't you guarantee the security of humanitarian corridors if you say that you control the situation that is, they admit here that mariupol is unconquered and the military that is there continue to resist them. as for those who are further away and russia, the un visited the hotel. well, in my opinion, putin showed all his attitude towards the un after the secretary general was in in the city of kyiv in the capital met with the president of ukraine and at that time

rockets were fired, one of which hit a residential building almost in the center of our city. that is, it was a reaction, it was a demonstration of everything on any initiative, and it seems to me that if after that the issue is not raised on all possible platforms, in particular, regarding the exclusion of russia from the council of ministers and the exclusion of the zones, then why does this organization exist at all, its viability and its functionality, we see that cannot be solved by an organization that sets as its task ensuring peace and order in the world. unfortunately, we see today that this cannot be ensured, so i think that if politics and diplomatic ways do not succeed now, then we must rely on our partners. it makes sense that they continue to provide us with the necessary weapons, particularly offensive ones, in order to push the

russians further and further away from our land and push them away and thus in the future liberate ukrainian cities, and mariupol in particular, simply in the east. almost 500 km, and of course it is difficult to do. but i hope that, in particular, with the help of the weapons that we will receive, it will be easier for us to implement this task. well, as much as possible, i would like of course, to be faster well, actually, mr. oleksandr, we remember how president zelenskyi gave a big press conference in the aesthetic subway and said that it is currently impossible to unblock mariupol by military means, so that is, we currently do not have enough uh, enough uh- e capabilities, there is a

sufficient number of heavy weapons to carry this out. moreover, some military experts say that this is actually such a trap of the enemy who is trying to lure us in order to inflict maximum losses on the armed forces of ukraine however, in your opinion, this situation changes with the lend-lease law adopted in the united states of america, does the military path of the blockade of mariupol become more real? i will tell you that the diblockade of mariupol and the rest of the temporarily occupied ukrainian territory in particular and in the south, where the russian military is, for the time being. i am convinced that this is a temporary phenomenon, it will be corrected, everything is becoming more real, you just need to understand that a certain period of time is still needed. why not because they are already delaying, our partners have already understood

that we should not delay and we really need these weapons now and immediately because they are already on their way and there are related processes. with the fact that they are beginning to provide us with weapons that are in nato member countries, of course not all of these weapons were previously used by the ukrainian armed forces it takes time to learn how to use some types of weapons, and this process continues, it does not stop, and there are also related procedures in order to logistically provide and deliver directly to the places where hostilities are taking place, and as far as is known, there is already information that some types of these weapons, they are no longer the fact that in ukraine they are already on the front line and are already helping our defenders, it’s just that now it is necessary to understand that the stage is obviously going on when the russian troops are trying to advance along the entire line and

front and our troops are restraining them wherever possible they counterattack and then talk about it when such an opportunity arises and when the command considers it necessary, therefore i think that the further we receive such assistance, the further ukraine's request for the provision of heavy weapons that we need. the more chances we will have in the future to move to offensive actions and liberate our cities, in particular mariupol. mariupol to the russian concentration camp among the ruins, the president says that the procedures are slightly different from what the nazis did when they seized the territory of eastern europe, they are different for the worse, the situation is catastrophic in the city, the local authorities say that there are more than 22,000

dead local residents, and these data are only approximate, because it is impossible to calculate exactly, we know that the occupiers use mobile crematoria in order to cover up the traces of their crimes, incinerators of the bodies of civilians. well, the same information that i read today that newborn children are already issued certificates of the puppet pseudo-republic of the dpr, well, in fact , all the world leaders are already talking about this, that putin is spreading such a concentration camp to the temporarily occupied territories, which apparently he wants to transform the whole world, what real steps should ukraine take now, the world, in order to save and save those people who remain in mariupol , we are talking about more than 100,000 people, and in particular those who are blocked in the azovstal with those wounded and military personnel. how should we take care of what can be done and what should be done anyway yes, oleksandr, you and i are talking about the long-term perspective, and these

people don't have time. well, that's actually the problem, we all understand that it was only a short time ago, and now efforts are being made to provide somewhere to start humanitarian aid, the necessary medicine of food and with elementary, by the way, how much did the red cross try to get there , the russian troops did not let him in, how much now did you mention the representative of the un who came specifically to coordinate this mission, she is not given the opportunity that is, we see what the whole world simply has to do you are making mistakes for yourself in the future . first of all, you need to recognize these actions as genocide of the ukrainian people on the part of russia, and in the future you will need to condemn monism as an ideology that is hateful to people. we can see this now. of course, the only answer is to continue and continue to insist on letting the missions visit for at least a humanitarian month, well, every day,

every hour, every minute, so far there are no other solutions. well, of course, continue the work among international institutions and organizations. let them, if they continue to receive russia in their composition, then let them look for ways to put pressure on her, or then throw her out of these organizations as a state that violates the order, this is also their duty as the entire world community thank you, mr. oleksandr, oleksandr musienko, the head of the center for military and legal research, was in touch with us via skype, so now we have the next guest of our broadcast oleksiy melnyk , co-director of foreign policy and international security programs, congratulations, mr. oleksiy, let's try to analyze the situation as of today uh, primarily talking about enemy activity in the east about this second wave of russian aggression in this war about the situation on the 66th day

of russia's full-scale war against ukraine yes we are watching carefully that the world media these days are talking about the fact that after the failed blitzkrieg, after the failed offensive on the capital, the enemy is suffering significant losses and is not achieving the desired success in the east, how do you see the situation and what to expect from the coming days , we really they were convinced that the second thing is that the next phrase of the operations that he announced underground went wrong again. on the one hand, it may be good news, but on the other hand, if you listen to the russian leaders, the same lavrov yesterday he spoke, he convinced that everything is going according to plan, that is, the russian plans are adjusted as

they go and they convince themselves that everything is going well. russia's unwillingness to take any diplomatic steps. we also saw how the world's chief diplomat in the ussr treated himself. here from in ukraine to things, he once again demonstrated his complete inadequacy in terms of how to achieve the political or military goals you mentioned today in mariupol. i think that this was a chance that

he could later use during the hotel visit to achieve political goals. at the same time get a few seconds online, although the world community, what about oleksiy, we see that the us deputy secretary of state for political affairs, victoria anulend, in an interview with rbc-ukraine, emphasizes the huge losses of the russian side in killed and wounded and says that russia is also losing a huge amount of military equipment that the president of the aggressor country, putin, cannot replace. because, unlike ukraine, no one is helping him. and he lacks young people ready to participate in this terrible, vicious, cruel, immoral war. we also see fresh news, hmm, zadeli mail writes that on may 9, putin may announce a mobilization. in fact, this uh, holiday

, uh, victory day in russia can be used for regrouping to concentrate all those present in the country is making efforts to deliver a decisive blow to ukraine, the mail writes about this with reference to the minister of defense of great britain, what are the real prospects for putin, the prospects are real - this is a strategic defeat and these prospects have been talked about since the first days of the war when it was still completely unknown how it will end the next kyiv, is kyiv opening at all, will there be a legitimate government in ukraine, that is, even that extremely critical period, this is from the beginning of the war, it was organic , it was absolutely, if one of the focuses was unity the consensus regarding the prospects in general of such a

war for putin. that is, in the end, it should end in a strategic defeat for putin. it is for russia as a state here throughout the goals that he wanted to achieve . threatened by such and such actions, that's why there will now be a succession of years in which the russians, who sell putin, will resort to them. they will still not change the general so-so as far as mobilization is concerned, it looks now more and more like what will be the next step or what decision will be made in russia, under what sauce will it be served , these are other matters, but it is also necessary to understand that mobilization, for example, by forcing 100,000 people to wear military uniforms, is one thing,

of course, if it is a question of uniforms in warehouses, but another matter you need it right away. the next day, you have to prepare something. and these are the same combi cars again - this is a weak point of russian logistics. of this technique, well, for example, i just recently watched an excellent analysis of one aspect that does not attract much attention. it was an analysis of a collaborative expert on the quality of russian cargo, that is, he says that, in russia, there is such an anti-literary approach that any put a truck and they will be delivered to us there as a cargo, but in fact when it comes to military cargo, they are absolutely unsuitable. that is, it is the idea, the quality of the conditions that are imposed on them, that breaks through at the first moment, there are fragments that

are found freely everywhere, and ending with, for example, paralentan equipment of russia, which, in essence, any destruction of a russian tank ends with the destruction of the crew, which significantly distinguishes the quality of russian western equipment. that is, there are quite a lot of problems. but, again, russia still has significant in order to cause destruction because of giving civilian military personnel on the territory of ukraine. first, let's try to comment on the recent appointments in the e-e military reshuffles carried out by the kremlin. we will remind that some appointed the chief of the general staff of the armed forces of the russian federation, gerasimov, is the new leader of the offensive of the russian occupation forces in the izyum direction

. forces due to the appointment of the head of their e-e butcher, but for what reason - the commander of the southern military district, general of the army e. dvornikov, that they made a very big bet on it the appointment, however, judging by the fact that gerasimov was expressed on the raisin, it did not have the expected effect. how do you evaluate these events, how can we comment on this information, is there really confirmation that dvornikov is not coping and will gerasimov be effective enough for putin in the kharkiv direction? well, so far so i apologize for running into your answer, but we see news that the armed forces of ukraine are fighting the enemy in the izyum direction and today, hmm, we see such and

such information about the fact that they are breaking they destroy the enemies, they destroy him, his weapons, his units, and there is simply no end to these destroyed units of equipment. only today, the special forces of the national guard, together with the soldiers of the armed forces of ukraine, worked against the enemy and more than 30 units of equipment , of which more than half of the tanks, as well as armored personnel carriers and other other vehicles were destroyed and er, these control points and technical units where the occupiers were nesting were destroyed by artillery fire, so what do you think about these personnel changes and their effect, what does it mean a foreigner or in ours, i did not see anywhere in russian sources, well, official ones about the appointment of gerasimov to this position that you

mentioned. therefore, it may rather be his own decision, because he urgently needs to do something about it, the same applies to the appointment of the command the operation about which we asked a conscious strategy and including which chechnya well, but i want to emphasize once again that there is almost no information about this in russia, so it is not a fact that these are some questions , but at the same time there is confirmation that really for example, among them, there are serious problems for christians - this is the command of the parlance of everything. that is why it is possible that gerasiman’s decision to go to the front line is an additional evidence of the fact that if the chief of the general attitude is able to manage from

the premises, we must put it, then this is another evidence of the seriousness of the problematic plans. also, confirmation is known of the large number of dead generals . e is unprecedented, some proportion does not need generals during the strip operation, according to many observers, it is also a result of the fact that they could not lead their troops command posts er well, in the end, this is also a characteristic of the soviet inherited soviet system now from the russian system, when the centralization of these commands is excessively centralized, er, practically has no initiative or great-grandson at the tactical level, er, so let’s say all these shortcomings they are just encouraging the generals so that they personally take it upon themselves

somewhere well, i don't know well, well, in ordinary games, they went to attack with a gun, maybe let's add that the information about the arrival of the personal superior of the general staff of the armed forces of the russian federation, general valery gerasimov, before the raisin for commanding the troops in donbas , ukrainian journalists reported about it from their sources, and the ukrainian publication defense express, which cooperates with the ukrainian military-industrial complex and military experts, wrote about it, but oleksiy did not have video materials . -e gerasimo you with a raisin or his er-e own confirmation that he is there at the moment, we will wait for more information on this topic but nevertheless very interesting well, how do you look at er
