almost 500 more ukrainians were brought to azov steel. this was announced at the same time by general secretary antonio goteresh and the head of the office of the president of ukraine andriy yarmak. meanwhile, on the territory of the azovstal plant, russian forces continue to fight in mariupol conducts a ground assault on azovstal despite the kremlin's claims that it only wants to block the plant, the daily report of british intelligence says that russia has significant losses at azovstal and this disrupts its plans in the south of donbas, according to london, the kremlin still hopes to capture azovstal by may 9 so that to achieve symbolic success in ukraine, the women whose relatives are now protecting azovstal have appealed to the world community, they are asking for help in liberating the military using the extraction procedure. as an example of the junker operation of the times this is what the wives, mothers and sisters of the soldiers of the azov regiment and other armed

formations who are still in mariupol under constant fire from the russian army say. i am the sister of the azov compound, my krovynka is currently in mariupol in the hottest spot of ukraine and i want to say that the mariupol fighters did everything possible and it is impossible, they crossed all the levels of their strength. they showed the whole world their strength, their heroism and their indomitability. such a thing has never been seen before, and we must save them, and i will soon go to mariupol and mine is in the military, which is older, he serves in the national guard, call them some kind of nazis from the soldiers of the russian federation , who bombed my city, defense days, and i think that this is not unfair, it just does not fit in my head . the community will help us to save our soldiers from azovstal i want to see my brother alive heroes next to us with our whole

the fact is that we are asking for help from the world's military and political leaders to influence the situation. well, in order to help uh, both the civilian uh citizens and the military garrison. given that it was not possible to solve this the issue of evacuating the wounded and injured from the mariupol area, we believe that others should intervene, well, there is a petition initiated by one of the military and addressed to states that have naval forces, that is, in particular, the united states, france, great britain in turkey, germany, italy, greece, spain, the idea is to organize the evacuation of the civilian population of the military from mariupol through the sea of ​​azov without asking permission from the kremlin, that is, it is possible for one or several

states to organize the evacuation by means of transport of ships with escorts warships to mariupol through the kerch strait, and in accordance with articles 37-38 of the convention on the law of the sea, all ships have the right to transit through the kerch strait, and russia cannot to ban, well, to do that, that is, simply to evacuate them somewhere to another country, for example, right, yes, exactly, because we do not see any other way out in this. well, at the moment, we cannot trust the russian federation when you offer such an option to the military-political to the leadership of ukraine, you probably have some contacts , maybe someone is meeting with you, if so,

tell me that they answer to you, well, at the moment, no one has met with us. actions to the world leaders to the european leaders and we are very much asking for your help in this because we do not know what else can be done at this stage, well, the denominator, who has not contacted you, what do your relatives who are uh, on the ground tell you, how much strength do they have to keep on the defensive, well, at the moment there is no contact with our relatives, we do not know, we only learn about what is happening there from the news, horror is happening there, there are more than 500 wounded boys who need urgent

help, they are dying because this is not provided help because there is no medicine, there is no dressing material, there are no painkillers, the boy has no food, no water, well, you understand. how can you survive in such conditions, what can we be talking about? it is very difficult for them and we all have to help. all over the world we have to help our military, our defenders, our heroes, just recently. literally an hour before our broadcast, the azov regiment announced in a telegram that today they fired at the evacuation

the car that was picking up civilians got stuck and six people were injured, one person died, maybe you still know some details. no, we do n't know the details, i'm just saying that there is no connection with our relatives. so, if there is such a connection, then they only did in order for the command staff to be able to communicate with the authorities and with other sources , to inform us of any news, specifically with my husband, with my daughter's husband, there is no communication at the moment. this is your daughter, so close. please tell me who you have in us and what he writes to you. or says well on azovstali er, i have a question. yes, er, my sister's husband's father and my husband's brother are

there forever. wrote a message from him. he is alive. he loves us very much and wants to return home. do you believe that your relatives will return of course. we believe it so. we believe it. we cannot do otherwise . dear friends, thank you very much, yaroslav ivantsova, the wife of a soldier of the azov regiment, viktoriya lyashuk , the wife and daughter of the soldiers of the azov regiment, thank you. well, a doctor who provides assistance to people blocked on azov steel recorded a video appeal to the turkish authorities. he asks to save the lives of mariupol and ukrainian soldiers who are dying due to a lack of medicine and food. the doctor published the appeal in

on his page on instagram as the crimean details of muslims invasion received medical education of death, he worked for us with an ambulance, always than he helped people. well, it hurts me to watch people die in their arms, simply because of a lack of antibiotics, in 2022, the house, the temple, we have been saved, the air, the sea and the earth were fired upon . with the territory of azov, they stopped this nightmare . we will discuss the situation in mariupol further by contacting us. read the azov regiment writes that in mariupol an

evacuation vehicle that was going to pick up civilians was fired upon and one person was killed. do you know any details about this latest shelling? unfortunately , today we cannot comment on everything because the evacuation mission is currently ongoing, very difficult negotiations are underway from the point of view of to save the lives of the local population and we see that, unfortunately, the russian troops violate those agreements when we agree that an evacuation should take place today, and we see that, unfortunately, this is happening now directly in this fortress, which has the name of growth. unfortunately, at the beginning of the war, the russian occupying forces violate the agreements and it is very difficult to negotiate with them and

it is almost impossible. at least about this is how the witnesses who went through this procedure describe it. please tell me that this evacuation is under the guidance of the un and the red cross. it also involves filtering today so that you understood that even er, even in the city when we move , we need to have a travel certificate those who leave are all here, and there are no restrictions on this, on this evacuation, they also go through, unfortunately, this procedure is a little simplified, but it is also there, you know what

happens to people who, for various reasons, did not pass the filtering, there is such a category, unfortunately, these are municipal civil servants employees who were so or otherwise related to government work, they unfortunately get uh prison, they go behind bars there they uh are held in very difficult conditions there is a witness who uh got out of this captivity and this hell there is a 2x3 cell there they stuff people like these they hold the seriousness of this bank while standing, they hardly have the ability to sit down in order to at least somehow rest, they take turns sitting down and somehow, er, they rest er, once a day they are let out to the toilet, they are given almost no food, they are given only water and so on

someone keeps them there, someone spends two weeks there every day for a month, they are interrogated for something, some kind of information, we don't have an understanding, but this is how they are destroying the middle of mariupol and our ukrainians today. what are the kremlin's plans for mariupol on may 9? do you know what will happen there, because it was previously reported that the occupiers allegedly there they are preparing to hold something like a parade or a march, what do you know about it? today we also received the testimony of our mariupol residents, and this information came from two such sides so that everything would not be a fake so that we would still say such true information unfortunately for all the federal centers, they gathered the males of our mariupol citizens, uh, destroyed uh, such villages around the city, and

there are such villages inside the city, i won't uh, i won't say what they are called, so that you can understand how difficult it is for them today - they are collected, taken out, as in these filtration centers, they are directly filtered, then they are kept there, they are already filtered, and there today they collected two thousand of our men, our mariupol citizens, and we , uh, have only to imagine and what and what they are for they do, but today we see that they are of course preparing for something. these men used 2,000 of them from the point of view of cleaning the city

. our residents, and unfortunately they involve them in these works, what are they preparing for? today, our resident said that they are also preparing something for which they want to change the uniforms of our mariupol residents into the uniforms of the military armed forces of ukraine and take them to parades as prisoners of war in in the city of mariupol very often. when we show videos from mariupol, i hear from ordinary people, especially the elderly, that they refuse to leave the city because they say that they are not needed anywhere, they are not waiting for them anywhere and decide to stay in their destroyed homes, so you say it is difficult for such people to stay there today, we understand that there is hell and it is impossible to live there, people survive there we are

waiting for them on our ukrainian lands, we have already created two support centers for the people of mariupol, zaporizhzhia, dnipro, we still have many wishes and efforts for such centers appeared in general on the map of ukraine, we are close we will support our people of mariupol and mariupol is not our building mariupol is the people of mariupol and as long as the people of mariupol live, mariupol lives and we will definitely return to mariupol we will definitely make it even better because mariupol was and will be leaving the entire ukrainian city, nevertheless, photos have already appeared on the network where it can be seen that the employees of the communal services, at least they are dressed in the appropriate uniform, are changing the ukrainian language signs to signs that have been completed in russian, you must have seen it, what can you say? we are just seeing this photo, what can we

say that all these collaborationist troops will soon leave and we will liberate our mariupol and everything will be ukrainian in mariupol, as it was in the city of mariupol, and it will always be so that they we didn't imagine and didn't plan there, it was and it will be like this, you are very optimistic, you say, but the situation there is really difficult. it takes a little time. so, we need our uh, brave guys to get very important weapons and for us to go on the offensive, you released it our ukrainian land and returned our life returned our mariupol and we and i personally returned home thank you very much vadym boychenko the mayor of mariupol was in touch with us let's continue to talk about the event in mariupol in mariupol the occupying forces

erected a monument to a grandmother with a red flag whose image actively uses russian propaganda for the opening of the monument in mariupol , even the first deputy head of the administration of the president of russia, serhiy kiriyenko, arrived, by the way, as a curator from the kremlin of the occupied ukrainian territories and the secretary general of united russia andriy turchak kyriyenko, judging by the video on turchak's telegram channel, even made a speech at the opening of the monument well, now actually about the grandmother with the flag herself we have not told this story yet, this is a real elderly woman, her name is anna ivanova lives in the kharkiv region and became a celebrity after she went out with the soviet flag to meet ukrainian soldiers, though she confused them with russian ones and refused to take food from them after they trampled on the soviet flag as it was unfold this dot with us with us unfold yes yes yes yes approach

ego wo wo you waited you waited yes actually after that russian propaganda began to actively use the image of a woman allegedly as a symbol of resistance to fascism in a number of russian cities graffiti appeared and even sculptures depicting a grandmother with a flag, the russian media also spread information that the relatives allegedly took the woman to russia, but in fact anna ivanova is in one of the kharkiv city hospitals, the russian army fired at her home, the woman says that she went out with a red flag to the military, thinking that it was the russians, to convince them not to destroy the village, a video recording was published by the ukrainian center of the ministry of culture of a retired woman

to tell them not to destroy the village anymore and solve the problem peacefully. no one is saying that the ukrainian military will come. anna ivanova, a pensioner from the kharkiv region, became a symbol of russian propaganda and why the symbol of a grandmother with a bolshevik flag is still relevant for russian society, my colleague sashko shevchenko i asked the director of the institute of national remembrance, anton shrouchich, that they don't have any real such embodied, er, some normal meaning of the symbols, and so they grabbed the first one that is better , which really, in their opinion, appeals to reality, but

even here it turned out to be empty the sign is so empty because the woman herself refuted, in fact, her motive, we see that the situation is that a disoriented person tried to somehow survive in a state of threat of occupation, it is obvious that they used it as a symbol of that well, you see, another one, another empty one a sign of another empty action that does not really respond and if you dig deeper, it crumbles. this is how russia is in trouble, because in essence this war is already a violent, violent , marauding one, and there is no such variety of creative acts that translated souls will be in ukraine, look at any - anything related to creativity , connectedness, anything related to people, you will see heroism, self-sacrifice, a public position, and there they hide their faces, are ashamed, smoke these cars

. well, not massively yet, but with this sockets soldiers even the guards don't appear to be normal. obviously, it 's all like that, you know, it stands on its own legs and the symbols are the same, if you dig, scratch them, then there is emptiness behind it, the russian army began to actively use rocket and air strikes in the zaporizhzhia region, in particular, in the cities of gulyaipole and orihiv, the lower level of civil infrastructure is reported in zaporizhzhia oval, although it was previously noted that russia did not conduct active hostilities in the region, in zaporizhzhia itself, a curfew is being introduced from the evening of may 8 to the morning of may 10, monday 9 another ukrainian city , ivano-frankivsk, will not have humanitarian aid distribution points in the city on may. although it does not impose a curfew. well, at least it has not been reported yet, but it warns of possible attacks. the mayor of the city, ruslan martsynkiv, claims to have received information about possible rocket attacks in ivano-frankivsk. on may 7-9

, he urges people not to gather in public places in cities and, if possible, to leave the city at all. the nsdc also urges ukrainians not to ignore the air warning signals of the eighth and on the ninth of may, with an increased risk of shelling, what russia is planning for may 9, we are talking soon. well , in the meantime, there is another russian news. a petrel-type frigate is on fire near the snake island in odesa. the odesa edition of dumsk writes about this. it is noted that near the site of the incident, russian planes are arriving. russian military planes to help the ship, the publication claims that rescue ships also went from crimea, the deputy of the verkhovna rada, oleksiy honcharenko, claims that the ship was hit by neptune missiles the general staff does not comment on this information, however, in the next summary, they reported that over the last day the russian troops lost one ship or

boat. the ministry of defense did not provide details. currently, the ministry of defense of russia refers to the destroyed ship. they also do not report anything. we will monitor the situation. we are in touch with mykhailo zhirokhov, a military expert. good evening. well, we are monitoring the situation with the frigate . nevertheless, what kind of petrel-type frigates are these and how realistic do they seem to you? news and what could have destroyed it. i will only add here that once again the ukrainian media write that it could have been the frigate admiral makarov. well, this very frigate was launched in 2017. that is, it is one of the newest ships of the black sea fleet of the russian federation and that it was possible it was possible that it was hit by a neptune missile or some other missile - it's half-life no, it can be because the

island of snake is under such special control from the ukrainian command well, then we are waiting for official messages, what to expect in ukraine on the 9th in may, the nsdc reports that there is a risk of shelling. well, first of all, it is necessary to understand that no one knows what is in putin's head, and on may 9, there could be a massive escalation. and the russians in the form of missile attacks and everything else, or maybe nothing at all not to be er their er not to the fuhrer can accept a parade parade and send troops directly to the front you know such a cosplay of stalin and er it can be or maybe in general as some western experts say and what can he er say about the war in ukraine is not

just a special operation, but about the war and what if this is exactly what will happen. the last scenario that you voiced will declare war and will also announce mobilization there or send a certain number of troops directly from the parade in moscow to ukraine. how will it change the course of the war? this is a very slippery step because now there is no money and the internal situation can shake very, very and very powerfully, so the transition to the military rails of the defense industry may be possible, but for now the russian army has quite huge personnel reserves are also involved in ukraine. well,

almost a small part. and one more question that i want to ask you. last week, many of your colleagues, military experts, talk about the possibility or impossibility of destroying the crimean bridge, through which russia receives supplies to the russian army. and especially these conversations resumed after that as it became known that as part of military aid from the united states, missile systems capable of striking there at a distance of 300 km can be delivered to ukraine i am realistic about the destruction of the crimean bridge there or the task of striking it and it is necessary, maybe there are some more important places where it is worth striking , unfortunately, today the armed forces of ukraine do not have the means that can hit the crimean bridge, the most that we have is the point u missile complexes

but they fly at only 120 km and this is clearly not enough to destroy the crimean bridge. in addition, it is necessary to note that the destruction of the bridge requires very powerful power of the system. we can see what, for example, the bridge in the gulf, the russians three times with cruise missiles, and there is no such thing as the bridge being completely destroyed, that is why even if the united states of america delivers to us all the missiles that you talked about, it was not enough to destroy the crimean bridge from a military point of view yes, there are other, more attractive targets for missiles, but from a media point of view. it was a total defeat of russia in the

information segment. thank you very much for your comment. mykhailo zharokhov, military expert, vugledar city, donetsk region, during the hostilities. found itself close to the front line, the settlement is constantly being shelled by russian troops along with artillery, the armed forces of the russian federation also use airstrikes with the beginning of the open invasion of russia , 28 people died in the city, and 70% of the buildings were destroyed, how is the city living now? actually found itself in the shelter of the front, it is constantly fired at by russian artillery units, there were air raids, of course, there are victims among the civilian population because the streets are empty, they are counted in the storage rooms of the basements

, the last people here died on may 3, right now in this place
