to accept during the war and everyone will say thank you yuriy kovalchuk with us on direct communication p yuriy, we apologize for making you wait, well, such a broadcast today, uh, we had to go down from a large studio to a bomb shelter in lviv, air alert, well, that's how the discussion arises about the fact that when it is necessary to resolutely ban, well, in particular, the moscow patriarchate on the territory of ukraine, and they also talked about may 9, which is still the 71st day of the great war from ukraine, chronicles the resistance of the ukrainian people to large-scale russian aggression and calls on the world community to evacuate civilians azov asks for help in azovstalia battles are going on evacuees talk about hellish conditions volunteers are taking huge risks to save those trapped in the war report from donbas conference of donrs

in warsaw raised 6 and a half billion dollars for the restoration of ukraine this is only the beginning of the russian attack at azovstal reinforces this regiment azov appealed to the world to help civilians and wounded military personnel who remained at the plant in communication with the bbc evacuated civilian plants called the conditions there truly hellish, despite the fact that the kremlin generally denies that russian forces stormed the plant and convinced humanitarian corridors to work. what is happening on the front lines, report by johnwood, this could be the last days of the battle for mariupol, every day and

almost non-stop, russian troops attack the metallurgical plant azovstal and similar ones are now being attacked not only from the air, but also on the ground, as the enemy has spread to the territory of the plant , heavy bloody battles are taking place. i am proud of my by soldiers who use human efforts to hold back the enemy's onslaught, the situation is extremely difficult. but no matter what, we continue to carry out the order to hold the defense, summing up we can say that the battle for azovstal will be deadly , but in the underground warehouses of the plant there are not only military personnel according to calculations and may be more than 200 civilians russia announced a daily short ceasefire so that residents could leave the territory of the plant, this is what all ukrainians want, we imagine and hope to continue the rescue of people has stopped from mariupol, there are still civilian women and children, what managed to

save them, the continuation of the regime of silence is necessary, the ukrainian side is ready to ensure it, it will take time to simply raise people from those basements from those shelters under the ground, the day before late in the evening, a group with people who were read arrived in zaporozhye, these are residents from different parts of the city, if the plant does manage to be captured, it will mean that mariupol is under the control of the russians, along with this, it will give president putin at least something that he can call a victory, and it will also free the hands of thousands of the russian military for the assault on donbas, meanwhile , it is reported that the advance of russian troops to the south is very slow and uneven, while the offensive from the north has been suspended .

the day before, russia struck the territory of the eastern regions at the crossing of the dnipro, and before that it struck lviv. they are trying to disable ukrainian railway connections and to stop the supply of weapons from the west to the east, however , the russians are losing the ukrainian side reports that they managed to destroy a huge russian oil base in occupied donetsk, and in this war, logistics plays almost the most important role. meanwhile, the number of victims is increasing on both sides, and thousands of people on the front lines are often trapped in terrible conditions, mariupol, the south of the country, in fact, the entire eastern donbas, and often the only ones who can come to the rescue are volunteers, they sometimes organize rescue missions despite the terrible risk, our correspondent andrew harding spoke with those who are ready to risk their lives on the humanitarian front, as well as with those people who saved their lives, they sit stunned and

stunned in the school bus that just saved them from hell, still tired from the experience, two other buses from the same missions didn't come back is all she can say thousands here are trying to escape from the russian offensive due to the kremlin's new offensive operation in eastern ukraine but imagine that you escaped from all this and then come back again and again this is exactly what a desperate group of volunteers are doing rescuing people in donbas including the man who took this video a british maths teacher in a grove out of the way he came here last month to help we are going close enough to the front line to evacuate people who are lying down to him those who are in trouble visually impaired or those who use walkers to get around

generally those who would most likely be deprived of the attention of larger charities but you are taking a big risk i'm very afraid most of the time a who wouldn't be afraid, this video was shot by the driver of one of the two school buses that disappeared, mykhailo pankiv, a local history teacher, last friday he went on a rescue operation and did not return , his daughter varvara turned to social networks, begging for information, please bring my dad back, she says and then there was an unexpected announcement on russian television that mykhailo was detained. he is alive. the rules of war do not allow us to show how he was interrogated by russian forces who accused him of espionage. another surprise for the ukrainian army, while we are

talking to his wife yulia, her phone is ringing. it is her husband who is still being held. he is calling to report important news that they have been exchanged. he was talking about the exchange of prisoners . by the government this is the closest we can get to the city now we hear the artillery firing and we see the shells falling on the other side of this field we were told that all rescue operations have now been suspended due to the danger, but this means that about two thousand civilians remain trapped in this city, this is a

cruel evidence of a slowly creeping conflict that has no end in sight, and about the evidence of this conflict, reuters journalists were able to establish the identities of some russian soldiers who were in buch. they they found an identity card from an employee of the vityaz special unit - this is the guards, in addition, a letter was left in one of the houses occupied by russian forces, they testify that in buchi housed the 76th guards airborne assault division from pskov, the letter was addressed to a man who, as the journalists managed to find out, turned out to be a paratrooper from the word go. the identity of another soldier from the same division was established thanks to graffiti on the wall of one of the ukrainian houses, in addition, on the basis of video recordings and eyewitness accounts, ghana confirmed that there were several units of chechen

servicemen in buche. in the streets of buch after the russian troops left the city ukraine and education promise to punish all those involved in this massacre, the world also promises to help ukraine rebuild six and a half billion dollars were collected already today in warsaw, the international donor conference ended, money was promised by the governments of countries around the world, as well as companies banks, as stated by the chairman of the european council of charm-michelin, the meeting in the polish capital will be the starting point for the european marshall plan for ukraine, but who will help and what will the money go to natalya skafapenko, this is already the second donor conference convened in warsaw. at the previous one, 10 billion euros were raised for the humanitarian needs of ukrainians. until this time, the ambitions of the eu, represented by the

president of the european council, charles michel , are called the start of the marshall plan for ukraine. this meeting and the decisions we are making today can and should become the starting point of marshall's european plan for ukraine. this means that we will help ukraine, the ukrainian authorities and the ukrainian people, who have huge humanitarian needs, it is also important to provide funds and prepare and start rebuilding ukraine for this marshall plan, which was supported by all 27 eu countries, want to leave the international community to give donors from all over the world the opportunity to demonstrate solidarity with ukraine. we know very well that today you are fighting not only for your homeland in independent freedom, but also for ours, we will continue to support you in all possible ways, you will win this war, we will win together , prime minister of poland schmarowiec, who together with

sweden initiated this donor conference reported that every day ukraine needs more than 12 thousand tons of humanitarian aid and receives only about three thousand tons, that is, less than 25% of its needs. children's fund and the international committee of the red cross but this is only one of the three goals of the trust fund, the instrument created to collect funds for ukraine, the second mission of this trust which was called the solidarity fund - this is money, financial support, grants, loans, specific assistance at the level of the economy, which has already suffered catastrophic consequences as a result of the war, and here it involves world business, as well as financial institutions, the world bank, the international monetary fund and the european bank for reconstruction and development, as well

as the strength of their capabilities and individual countries, including finland, its prime minister sana marin announced today an additional over 70 million in financial aid and the supply of weapons ukraine, we must stop financing putin's war machine and increase aid to ukraine. today , here we are trying to find ways to provide more financial aid to ukraine, as well as to increase support for weapons and humanitarian aid by all possible means. signal and specific projects, we are already preparing a large-scale plan for the recovery of ukraine after the war and we need a strategic international support plan for ukraine that will

president volodymyr zelenskyy addressed the participants of the donor conference with a modern analogue of the historical plan of the march. and prime minister denys shmyhal, who represented ukraine at the conference, said that at the conference it was already possible to mobilize 6.5 billion dollars for the reconstruction of ukraine, support the stability of the ukrainian people, meet their needs and finance future reconstruction - these are the three goals outlined today in warsaw, the capital of the country that stands at the forefront of international support for ukraine, and we will try to understand more about the results of this conference live expert of the center for new europe, kateryna zarembo. congratulations, kateryna. six and a half billion. how do you estimate this amount, because on the one hand it does not look too large-scale on the marshall plan, it does not drag, on the other hand, they say that this is only the first step cyber for a specific day or for a certain

period at the moment, we see that this is far from the only aid that ukraine receives. and it is absolutely realistic to sum up the results. actually, the organizers of the conference say that this is only the beginning. i would rather emphasize the fact that the development of an analogue of the marshall plan is beginning while ukraine has not yet achieved complete victory, and for me this is such a powerful signal of the west and the entire civilized world that will join this package that ukraine will be and ukraine will be prosperous. well, even better than it actually was, the marshall plan built modern western europe and allowed it to rebuild very quickly after the second world war, so i interpreted this political signal here, which in my opinion is very important, and i also want to point out that

if earlier financial assistance to ukraine was provided in the form of loans or was provided as rewards for certain reforms, and just before receiving this assistance, ukraine had to either implement reforms or prove that this money, this money , will be misused, we see that now, of course, tyshchenko is so young, these conditionalities, that is, the conditionality of the aid should be completely removed. this is very good, again, it reinforced the signal that the west believes in the victory of ukraine. the development of plans for the restoration of ukraine, the plans of the marshal are even already beginning to compete with each other, these plans are an understanding of what exactly will be needed in ukraine after the war is over, and most importantly, how to make sure that this money does not disappear somewhere

halfway, both are very good questions what exactly do you need funds for, well, that's up to economists, after all , uh, well, in my boyish mind as an observer of political dialogue, i'll say that, well, definitely . at the moment, they have suffered a lot, well, this is what i can see . what we need to do right away is how to convince them. so when the hostilities stop, when ukraine regains its territory and russia withdraws the agency from ukraine, it's a good question. i think that these are air conditioners, you, she will come back, well, actually, i think the same way as the war with russia, which began in 2014, the revolution of dignity was such a certain marker that many compared to when choosing reformers

and evaluating their actions, we spoke, we did not we can to build the maidan we cannot betray those who died for ukraine in 2014, well, now, of course, such a fuse of conscience will not be for everyone . i think we have one more question left. now you can hear a lot that these russian assets are frozen and must be confiscated . how realistic is it in general, even from the point of view of law? uh, we have to evaluate uh, you definitely have reparations from the russian federation, uh, to ukraine, uh , and this should also be uh, in the legal sphere , it’s just confiscation, and already now, the transfer of uh state private property should be under the supervision of lawyers, uh, honestly speaking more deeply, they cannot give

an assessment of simple yanniks as a specialist in international law in this field. thank you, expert of the new europe center, kateryna zarembo. thank you for your time, and we have not only success stories, bullying, unemployment and the poor, what not everyone has to face, we will not to generalize, but from time to time this is encountered in ukrainian refugees in hungary at the official level, the country accepts refugees from ukraine, but in fact the system is designed only for short-term reception, our correspondents tell us about this, as a result, only one in four wants to stay in the country a refugee at the same time hungary borders ukraine became the third after poland and romania in terms of the number of accepted refugees almost half a million ukrainians entered here the airport operator from budapest started shouting "excuse me at words ukrainian curva go go russia good takes a bottle out of his pocket shows it i'll break it now and that's how we got this bottle according to polina it

happened in a store in hungary ukrainian refugees are not always greeted kindly polina with her 13-year-old daughter and mother we fled to hungary from severodnotsk, we went to the evacuation bus. we waited for the evacuation buses lying on the asphalt under shelling because the airstrikes began in the city. our city does not have a single strategic military object, they just pound residential areas in the shelling of the russian military relatives of polina in russia do not believe me - she tells how the cannons fire. she was born in north donetsk, she has many acquaintances , she sees all this online. and she tells us that the armed forces of ukraine are fighting with the national guard and hitting ukrainians already in hungary. polina understood that not everyone is happy here

и очень many people ask whether we really have civil strife and russia has introduced peacekeeping troops not to quarrel with russia, the official policy of hungary, the country does not supply weapons to ukraine and does not even allow other countries to transport them through its territory, this is a war between two big countries and it is right next to us we have to stay away, but despite the pro-russian views of the authorities, refugees receive help, this is the largest center in the country, it is financed by the state, here people can stay only for one night and then have to find shelter on their own in another center which volunteers receive without state aid, refugees can stay longer for two weeks , conflicts began, the first refugees arrived at the station, volunteers arrived there, many organizations wanted to help, they did the work

that the authorities should do, finding private housing is the only option for long-term residence along the line and its family they were lucky and another 12 ukrainians were sheltered by the local school, we give him everything, they can have breakfast, lunch, dinner, they can do laundry. we have a washing machine, a microwave oven, they can ask for what they need and we will help. let's try to help, the state pays a refugee 60 euros per month for 10 days, i haven't found a job yet, i've been looking for a job for 10 days and haven't found anything yet, any job is suitable if i have the opportunity to get there, it doesn't matter to me who i will be, a packer of goods or something else i will do something at the factory, like thousands of other ukrainian refugees. polina does not want to go far from the border. her husband remains in ukraine. i really want to return home. if they tell me today

that the war is over, i will have them today. tickets i'll go home right away let's talk more about ukrainian-hungarian relations on the link of the director of the institute of central european strategy dmytro tuzhanskyi and dmytro vitau hungary, unlike its neighbors, refused to support ukraine with weapons prime minister orban called president zelenskyi his opponent and otherwise hungary agreed to pay in rubles for russian gas, also, hungary is blocking the oil embargo ah, but how much in hungary's actions is the desire to protect national interests, as orban says, press on ukraine in order to solve certain interstate issues or simply the desire of politicians to play on their electorate, in my opinion, it all depends on the situation, really the position of hungary is surprising, shocking , sometimes disappointing, and not only ukraine, and at this

key moment to manipulate sometimes to reprimand in response, they say that ukraine has some groundless claims or grievances against hungary, but in fact, if you look at how they react to today's politics and the reaction of official budapest to the russian invasion of ukraine, its neighbors and allies, in particular, poland, slovakia, the czech republic, there is also no understanding why hungary is acting like this, besides the fact that in such a very critical and difficult situation, the hungarian government openly manipulates because it is everywhere declaring that the ban on transporting weapons for ukraine is actually a solution of the hungarian government from march 7, it is possible to transport weapons for ukraine to the territory of hungary, but not to transfer them directly through the ukrainian-

hungarian border. through luhansk, you can transmit through romanian , that's why you know, this is such insincerity , manipulation, and it was still somehow possible. to be honest, it's difficult to explain the election campaign in hungary, which lasted until the third of april, and viktor orban the party won again and won a constitutional majority, why is such pro-russian, anti-western, isolationist rhetoric continuing after the elections, it is difficult to understand today, hungary is behaving more neutrally than neutral switzerland in my opinion this is really surprising and many questions arise, and not only in ukraine, maybe due to inertia, because the election campaign has just ended, but before the war, relations between kyiv and budapest

were, well, not at all cloudless, and now, when war breaks out in ukraine, it is definitely necessary in europe has every possible ally. do you see an opportunity now to resolve the contradictions between the two countries and to find a common language on some ground? yes, even before the russian invasion on february 24, relations between kyiv and budapest were apparently at the lowest mark in the last 30 years, since diplomatic relations between independent countries were established, and why this happened because on all the key issues there, the sending of national minorities to this blocking of hungarian passports in nato vetoed passports, well, the whole range of issues was everywhere, there was tension. here are all the attempts to leave they didn't manage to resolve that tension until the second episode, now it's all preserved, but how can it be done, i would still rely

on a third party and while russia continues to try to provoke ukrainian-hungarian confrontation by the way, before the invasion starting from october to december last year, russia in its special operations covering ukraine and hungary precisely simulated a possible military clash between ukraine and hungary, this landing of the hungarian special forces and so on, but in this situation i think that moderators are needed , this moderator could be warsaw , moreover, in view of the latest political statements, warsaw is ready to become this moderator, and how about me, so to speak, to lead budapest to i thank you in this situation. i thank you very much, the director of the institute of central european strategy , dmytro tuzhansky, and we have one more story to tell. today, it is also about humanity, although it

concerns domestic animals. people fleeing from war often for various reasons. sometimes they abandon their pets because of a critical threat to their own lives. on their own accord, some are willing to take risks for the services of furry ones, a woman in the village of berezivka near kyiv, which was under russian occupation at the beginning of the war, saved 16 in her car dogs, after learning about the green corridor, she loaded them all into a bus, overcame the roadblocks and finally found themselves in safety, what a slow story about true loyalty in the new yard, everything is unusual for these dogs, tibetan mastiffs and corgis are taking over a new space, they were brought here by their owner, svitlana barda, due to the russian occupation svitlana bardar breeds dogs, she says it was her dream for which she moved from kyiv to the suburbs in the first

days of the war, their village berezivka was occupied by the russian military from the 27th. the occupation of our villages, we lived with friends in the basement, they had a large basement, we lived there as a family of three , it looked like this from the yard, if it was more or less quiet, then you can go out through the swamp just to the street, so all the time we were indoors, the dogs were with us in the basement and behind the house there was still a barn, the dogs learned a new command, they all went home, yes svitlana called them when the explosions started, after two weeks of occupation, the animals ran out of feed, svitlana dared to leave the village with them, the dogs ran out of food, they needed something solve this problem at home, i would never leave them in my life well, this was not even discussed, so the neighbor with whom we lived together became a question how to leave, he gets into the bus, you load all

the dogs and drive 16 dogs were loaded into the car and drove through the green corridor, it was difficult because there were a lot of broken vehicles, these detours were morally very difficult to watch. because i have never seen anything like this in my life and i don't want to see dead people, civilians, overturned cars, people lying in the middle of the road. to be honest, someone someone took a picture of this one, and here it was just a shock because of the block posts svitlana went with the animals to the rivne region, they were checked, of course, because it was closed to everyone it was interesting that in the

bus no one believed that there were 16 dogs, that's all they asked for today take care hello good evening matvii in polish is not alone in the studio, now i will introduce you to the guests but putin dedicates well, i noticed that putin dedicates the bombing of ukraine to my program, that is, closer to my program, the bombing begins, but today he had something there, there was no shortage of bombs there something like that and he finished earlier, well, that's what the people of war program means
