escape from daily russian attacks what is happening on on the southern front, a bbc correspondent's report from near mykolaiv and the oil embargo and disconnection from swift the european union presented the sixth package of sanctions against russia on azov fierce battles with ukrainian the defenders lost contact. this was reported by the mayor of mariupol, vadym boychenko, in a telethon with his words. the russians are hitting ukrainian positions with all types of weapons, tanks, artillery from ships and aircraft. what is

going on, are they safe or not, uh, just yesterday, who was in touch. today, unfortunately, he can not comment on anything. we pray for our heroic boys. we thank them for the feat they have already done today for this country of ours. they restrained the enemy, they gave us more time to prepare and they are real courageous and very heroic, our defenders of mariupol . the statements of russian officials that mariupol is under their complete control, this is not true. azovstal, the last stronghold of the ukrainian resistance in mariupol, is still holding on, he said, according to him, everyone the next step for the evacuation requires more and more pressure on the russian federation. more and

more evidence of crimes by the russian military is appearing. journalists confirmed that the press conducted an investigation that showed that as a result of the attack on the mariupol theater on march 16, about 600 people could have died. this is twice as many as previously thought. journalists asked witnesses . tragedies analyzed the plan of the theater, bomb shelters under it, photos and videos from the scene of the incident, witnesses said that there were at least 100 people in the field kitchen near the theater none of them the people who were there that day survived. inside the theater , the rooms and corridors were crowded according to their estimates. during the air strike, there were about a thousand people inside. after the explosion, only 200 left the building. there are no traces of the presence of the ukrainian military in the drama theater. the investigators did not find any witnesses. they are convinced that the theater was hit by a rocket. earlier, the authorities of mariupol spoke of approximately 300

dead, but rescue work at the site of the explosion was almost not carried out due to constant fighting. well, in the meantime, a new attempt to evacuate residents from mariupol and the surrounding areas, a convoy of buses with civilians left for the territory controlled by the ukrainian authorities from zaporizhzhia, reports lorabika. their journey from hell has ended after two months of thirst. they are exhausted but feel relieved. kateryna stayed in the dungeon to forget the rest of the week, hiding from the russian bombings, she tried to calm her children all the time . convinced them that everything would be fine , even in whom she herself did not believe. that is how we lived, to be honest, it was terrible from morning to night and at in general, we were bombed from the sea, artillery, hail, constantly, aviation, aircraft, very glad that we

are finally in ukraine, these women and children spent more than 60 days in the dark, they were fed by the fables that the ukrainian soldiers gave them, the operation to free these people was difficult, carefully planned by us lived with hope that every day is the last day in this hell that we will go home to peaceful mariupol but now it is destroyed this evacuation is a rare manifestation of success in attempts to reduce the humanitarian suffering of this war but hundreds of other people never managed to get into these buses they are still trapped at the plant, including about a dozen children, and negotiations for their release are still ongoing, and the footage shows the russians shelling the azovstal metallurgical plant with high-powered weapons, this once-thriving industrial center now resembles a charred frame, further on in the video russian

tanks patrolling the destroyed streets and parks around the plant, according to estimates, there are about 100,000 people left in mariupol in the morning you will stand up and cry in the evening you will cry i don't know where to go at all this is not one, imagine all the destruction, all the things are broken, where are these people with small children, he is sitting with manets and two children, those who managed to break out of the siege finally have a fresh life, they are full of hope, their lives were saved, and the fate of others is still under threat today, the repair crews are completely they restored mobile communication in occupied kherson, the networks of all three mobile operators of ukraine are now working there. kherson is the only large city that the russians managed to capture completely and that russia probably wants to keep for a long time

there, the ministry of defense of great britain reports its influence on such conclusions and its intelligence on what is happening in the city, now we will talk about it with the kherson correspondent of bbc. get a foothold in the city. good evening. it is difficult to answer this question. it is definitely known that on the evening of april 25, the russian military entered the building of the city council, they replaced the security flags and in fact the current mayor and all his team were fired from their jobs, it is possible to say that until april 25, the kherson city council worked under ukrainian flags, and the ukrainian team and the ukrainian administration remained there, although other administrative buildings

in kherson were captured by the russian military at the end of april, after the mayor was expelled, they changed the flag above the city council , the occupiers announced that oleksandr kobets would be in charge of the city. the former omer of kherson, volodymyr saldo, who lost to the current mayor ihor kolykhaev in the elections, there is also an odious character in kherson, kyrylo strumoousov, he is an ardent anti-vaccinator and a supporter of the russian world, and he sharpens deputy saldo or a cop, whether he is engaged in eh, it is not clear now, but life continues in the city, despite the efforts of the occupiers, and even the current mayor did not leave the

city, he remains in the city, but in the region , the head of the community continues to draft his mandate, for example, he drafted his mandate today the head of the chaplin community, oleksiy faustov, these people who lead the communities either force them to submit credentials, or they have to leave due to persecution, or they are simply kidnapped. like, for example, my head of prystan oleksandr babich was kidnapped more than a month ago, he is in captivity, what about him, is he alive he and his health are unknown to the occupiers and in kherson and in the region it is often difficult to find replacements for administrative positions because only fairly marginal people and, in principle, residents of the city are willing to cooperate with the occupiers in kherson and the oblasts are openly despised, but sometimes it is difficult in the people of kherson, i am here, for example, the story of the

mobile connection, when there was no internet and no mobile phone from saturday evening and it was not possible to learn anything about kherson, and the people of kherson were in isolation, they did not know what is happening in ukraine, and a bunch of people went to the banks of the dnieper in order to somehow catch a connection and call those relatives who remain in the territory under the control of ukraine and find out some news, and later one of the providers worked and people were standing there near the buildings there near the shops of the posh branch where this internet was distributed and they also tried to get at least some information and pass it on but that was it in general the test with the connection was very difficult for the people of kherson, fortunately everything has already been restored e-e lizone i want to ask in more detail about e sentiments

among the people of kherson repeatedly appeared in the news in these two months due to protests despite the fact that the russian security forces also used tear gas with the force of bullets . protest sentiments persist and it is not only directly the actions of the resistance eh people eh in kherson they distribute leaflets for russian soldiers for example one of them eh tells about the consequences of venglaze for the occupiers eh another says that the invaders will be responsible for the genocide of the ukrainian people. i know people in kherson who are now wearing embroidered shirts, and this is also their protest. people are knitting yellow ribbons in public places and thus showing their opposition, and how dangerous it is for people. in short, if you can. in fact, it is very dangerous and

, er, the russian military constantly kidnaps people, and it is not necessarily people who have some, i don't know, special interesting political views for them, or are activists, it could be just kherson people, they are detained very, very much thank you bbc correspondent liza zarkhykh about the situation in kherson take care and for the information of the ukrainian authorities, russia is still hatching plans to cut off the south of ukraine and seize moldova. it does not comment on these institutions separately, but it makes it clear by its actions in the region that the fears are not unfounded, so let's take a closer look at what is happening in the south, and our correspondents visited the vicinity of mykolaiv , where ukrainian military civilians continue to be fortified, or suffer from russian attacks every day, heavy battles took place in this region, but

the ukrainian army pushed the russians back from the front line the last piano lesson in this class was held even before the war, but the music here is playing again for ukrainian soldiers it is a welcome break from daily explosions and artillery fire this the school, heavily damaged by shelling, is located near the front line in the mykolayiv region, the ukrainian military led us to their positions , now they are digging trenches because the russian troops continue to try to break through the defenses in the south of the country, the ukrainian defenders say that they are ready to fight to the end, we have only one position to liberate our land let us , there is no other choice here, everything is back, it is death, only

forward, it is better to die for real than to live on your knees, the truth is that here are seven motivated people who, well let's say there are many who have been fighting since the first days of the war in 14th year. so we have a lot of motivation, we have something to defend. this area is constantly shelled by russian forces before going on the offensive, they try to weaken the defensive positions of the ukrainians and use artillery rocket salvo systems and mortars but such a strategy leaves ukrainian villages and cities in ruins, and every day the scale of these destructions only increases. several more houses were damaged. this village is located about 4-5 km from the russian positions and it is

regularly hit by artillery and mortars . didenko has been injured several times in recent weeks. and literally a day before our visit , her house came under fire again. people are afraid because when we started flying we don't know where to fall because the house and everything collapsed and we were all knocked down there, there was a church here on this church the russian mir dropped a bomb that from the plane religion was one

of the most powerful elements that connected many russians and ukrainians and now russia is destroying even this in general, according to the reports of the general staff of the armed forces of ukraine, russia is regrouping the settlement of its troops in the east of ukraine, increasing the pace of the offensive, in particular in the directions of zaporizhzhia and kryvyi rih, but in most areas there is no success and just now it literally became known about a large-scale fire in the city of makiivka, donetsk region, a city located in the territory controlled by militants , an oil depot was burning there, the day before an explosion was heard, it is believed that the fuel warehouse in this makiivka is used by the russian army for military operations in ukraine, and today russia confirmed that during the attacks of the last at night attacked ukrainian

power plants that supply energy for the railway, several cruise missiles were fired at cities in the west of the country, ukraine said that it had intercepted some of them in flight and in moscow earlier threatened to attack the supply routes of western weapons to ukraine so far the west is showing increasing determination to support kyiv in this war until the victory of the ukrainian army more bbc correspondent jointwood a city located far from the front line felt the war last night russian missiles hit at least three substations around lviv overwhelming part of the city was left without electricity, the water supply was also damaged, i don't know what the next target for russian missiles is today, lviv is huge a center for refugees and every day lviv accepts new wounded, but today in lviv hospitals more than a thousand wounded were actually affected, not the center

of lviv, but this place, an industrial park on the outskirts of the location of whom is not disclosed, and it is because of an electric substation, the russians say that six such electric substations were damaged all over ukraine, yes they they are trying to destroy the railway network, because they are sure that this will stop the supply of weapons from west to east. andriy found a fragment of a missile in his shed. the place of installation stated that the day before launched cruise missiles and this is a warning to nato if arms deliveries do not stop, shelling will continue, the port city of mariupol witnessed one of the fiercest battles of the russian invasion, the mayor of the city said that a new evacuation column had left there, they are following the group that managed to free the imprisoned plant and from azovstal , the last ukrainian stronghold the resistance of mariupol

on the eve of a convoy of people arrived in zaporozhye . this is what weeks of life spent in the dark without food and under constant shelling do to a person even the way to a safe place was a difficult test, you enter the tent, take off your clothes, they check your documents, they kept saying that everything is fine, that they will rebuild and restore mariupol. despite this, russian preparations for the annual victory parade have already begun, because president putin should give people at least some reason for the celebrations, there is a possibility that the negotiation process may never start. four separate types of restrictions against russian military officials responsible for war crimes in buch and mariupol will be cited by fonder lain we

know who you are and you will be responsible for this next the largest russian bank will be disconnected from the swift bank transfer system three state russian tv channels will be removed from cable satellite and internet broadcasting in the european union and phased by oil cargo, this should deprive the russian economy of opportunities for modernization , the fund said. today we are applying for the sixth package sanctions, first of all, we include in the list high-ranking military officers and persons who committed war crimes in buch, as well as those responsible for the inhumane siege of the city of mariupol, this sends another important signal to all the perpetrators of the kremlin, we know who you are and we will bring you to justice other countries have already given up russian oil, gas and coal.

however, unlike the european union , they bought little the embargo is the most radical measure of economic pressure on russia. the oil and gas sector brings russia up to half of its state budget revenues , and russia sells 70% of its gas and oil and petroleum products to europe in cash - this is just one example for two and a half months of war. the european union paid russia more than 50 billion for energy carriers. euro, will europe be able to find an alternative how difficult can it be to approve the proposal of the european commission bbc correspondent beta bell eu member states must still agree to this package of sanctions but such countries as hungary and slovakia are very concerned about this and have repeatedly stated that they do not

sign under energy sanctions. in the same speech, the president of the european commission did not mention that they may be exceptions under the conditions of the seventh barva due to their great dependence on russian oil . we will see how you will react in the following days but if this proposal is accepted, it will be a truly far-reaching step by the european union against russia . brutal aggression in ukraine this will be very painful for russia, but it should be noted that the european union, which is now forced to look for alternative sources of fuel, will have to act quickly within the framework of a phased agreement that sets a deadline of six months for crude oil and eight months for excess products in the current the package does not refer to russian gas, which will be much more difficult to give up completely,

europe still depends on it, especially, again, hungary, slovakia, also austria, which for example will receive 80% of its gas from russia. although there are countries like poland that call for immediate energy sanctions against russia, including gas. therefore, the discussion continues, among other sanctions announced today, there was a proposal to withdraw the largest russian bank from the banking system of the world. reports the government information agency and with reference to the ministry of defense of the country they say that they want to assess the readiness of the army to respond to possible crisis situations quote a-a at the same time, these shots of troops moving en masse across the country were also distributed in minsk. such statements immediately alarmed many both in ukraine and in the baltic countries. what is behind this

? let's talk with an expert of the ukrainian institute of the future, a political scientist. do you associate this decision of the belarusian military leadership with whether it could be some kind of preparation for new hostilities. look, if we talk about the suddenness of these exercises, then they are sudden and only for those who well, there is little delay in the events in belarus. the fact is that the so-called sudden inspection takes place every year since the 21st year. usually, it is in february and january that the mechanized units are inspected, and in may-june, the same inspection comes, as if suddenly, and the missile forces, well respectively, but this year of course it coincides with the war from the active phase of the war in ukraine and of course it is on the alert of many, many neighbors if we talk about the possible participation of belarusian troops in the invasion

of ukraine, well, first of all, the personnel itself the number of the belarusian army is not enough to deliver a more or less powerful blow, well , the second part or the second thesis is that the idea of ​​fighting against ukraine, and also against the neighbors, the word balts, or even more so, poland, is deeply unpopular among belarusians, including among the electoral costs of supporting lukashenko himself, and since for lukashenko it is extremely important that the power is in the first place, then to destroy this, let it be a small shakedown of petriv, when what he has, well , he simply did not dare to do this is one of the reasons why he in including maneuvering under the pressure of putin to support russia on the second e-e actions e in the case of the tournaments of ukraine games and what is known about the morale of the belarusian troops. after the defeat of the russian

army in the north of ukraine, which they actually attacked using belarus well and considering that the belarusian the military found out about the events in the north of ukraine. well, in fact, that's how it is from the russian military, not from the propaganda tv channels. look , first of all, from the point of view of belarus itself belarusian troops, all previous trainings, all previous ones. let's say yes, and the general theological processing was within the framework of the belarusian army. it has to operate on its own territory, so the idea of ​​invading anywhere is very unpopular. a priori, there is an invasion or participation in a war against ukraine or neighboring states, it is also not popular with society in general because there are different data , sociology is a ball of chaos there - this is a survey of the urban population that gives 3%. this is the logic of the

telephone from the belarusian psychological laboratory which in general in belarus where there is 11%, but i apologize for 11% for active participation in the war - this does not allow you to give orders to the army and you will assume a war on ukraine and er belarusian belarusian military they do not differ in anything else er and accordingly what the more russia suffers losses, the more it drags itself into the war in ukraine, er, the more popular this idea is - this is one and the other - the thing is something that is underestimated so far, including external observers who think how they will affect belarusian society - this well, in fact, the evil of the entire system ot the belarusian army has such a reference point because the belarusian military they have long considered the russian army as a model of combat capability in the region

from and this model does not work. about the war on the cultural front, or rather on the cultural and gastronomic front , a charity event is taking place today in london, where ukrainian chef yuriy kovryzhenko prepares ukrainian dishes to raise funds for the needs to introduce ukrainians at the same time to the british with the culinary traditions of ukraine, the bbc correspondent ferumerov spoke with the chef, the chef yury kovryzhenko is now a fighter of the gastronomic front in london, he organizes charity events where he prepares ukrainian dishes, they have already collected almost 400 thousand dollars in aid, people buy up tickets almost a day, this indicates a huge interest, but it is an honest interest in ukrainian culture, including ukrainian cuisine, that is, the main idea of ​​food-food-food, money is earned on food to donate food to ukraine not only for food but also for other needs, the collected money is donated to charity

organizations about the war in ukraine yuriy tells in a way through his dishes, and today i chose our dishes, which are traditional for the southern region, because that is where fierce battles are going on right now. this is the same mariupol, nikopoli, all the rest and closer to odesa , kherson region, everything that happens there, i want to draw attention to it, and here to great britain and the higher world in general, therefore i want to show the food that is usually prepared there in spring or summer season, yuriy says that the guests are pleasantly surprised by the richness of ukrainian cuisine, and the flavors of ukrainian dishes are very pleasant for the british , because in the ukrainian cuisine, just like in the british one, there are no aggressive spices like in asian or eastern cuisine, and therefore for the british, it is very familiar flavors, but the british are most surprised by varenyki with cherries, and even here the

cook has a way forward, the ukrainian nation is the only nation that makes sweet varenyki, my little secret about varenyki with cherries, i never add sugar inside, that is, i add only starch, and i add a lot of sugar, water, i make a syrup, and in fact the dough becomes sweet, but the cherry inside remains sour, the ukrainian chef plans to remain on the gastronomic front, it will take so much to help ukraine with his skills in this regard. take care, april 4 concert rrt illegally turned off the digital air ukrainian independent tv channels espresso the fifth and direct on sai
