telegram on instagram twitter be with a ukrainian view of the world because together we stronger and ready to meet you in a few moments my colleagues anzhelika sezonenko and mykola veresen, watch our espresso channel news and euro programs espresso for ukrainian refugees in europe joint broadcast with the atp channel, radio svoboda programs , voice of america programs, inclusion of journalists public television, bbc news ukraine and frantz 24, as well as the broadcast of the informational marathon, the only news, together we are the strength, glory to ukraine unconquered cities of ukraine, this is unique mariupol a sea resort, a port and a metallurgical capital, at the

same time when muscovy deported 18 thousand greeks from the crimea, they settled in the azov region and named the town mariupol. during the two years of occupation, the nazis turned the city into a scorched desert. the russian invaders are doing, not even the nazis dreamed of it, but the free land sanctified by blood will never surrender to the enemy who does not understand how to fight for the freedom of mariupol unconquered good hello, ladies and gentlemen, anzhelika sezonenko and

mykola veresen are with you and will bore you for another two hours or so. but i hope not to bore you so much, we will try to make it interesting for you, at least we do not guarantee that it will be fun , even though today is like a holiday, but it is already a different holiday is already a holiday, not cheerful, ceremonial, not so salutary. and yet, it is a holiday when we remember how many millions and tens of millions of lives the second world war took and what role ukraine played in this war, and it turns out now, although these discussions continued at the beginning of the 90s in my memory, but now everyone started talking about what very few people talked about in the early 90s, that may 9 is a completely fictitious holiday, it is a stalinist holiday. what is really a holiday on the 8th and it is not known whether it was a victory and maybe it was the victory of one dictator over another for the people for the ukrainians for the belarusians for the poles for the estonians this is not a holiday at all but

a huge zhurba because another sadist just came to another and where we are in lviv evacuations just started from lviv well, not an evacuation mass deportations of people, as it was before in the baltic countries, as it was in poland and in hungary and in romania and everywhere, where the so-called liberator was a soldier, the liberator freed the nazis and gave him concentration camps in siberia. i think that this is not a victory when you run from one to another in completely different circles . today we celebrate the day of remembrance and reconciliation, of course today is not a holiday for us because ukraine is again at war with the russian enemy, currently the fascists, as we call them because they destroy all living things in their path, they actually violate the norms of the introduction of war, they

cause war crimes in general, they violated the territorial integrity and sovereignty of ukraine and not only ukraine. we remember transnistria, you also remember georgia, and syria and afghanistan , in principle, suffered in the same way and continues to suffer. therefore, of course, we cannot celebrate now, but we remember all those who died on the territory. so , where did the nazi invasion and the russian invasion take place? of course, we remember and thank them for those the heroic deeds they did to the defenders of the state at that time was the soviet union, but our ukrainians, our territories, there were a lot of combat operations and many millions of ukrainians died then in the second world war, and now, unfortunately, they defend their state in the same way and remain without their

lives we will talk in more detail about the day of remembrance and reconciliation in our second hour, and for now we will have more operational information from the regions, because the enemy does not calm down and it is on these days of may 7, 8, 9 that he is very actively targeting many directions yes, mykola dovbnya, deputy of the druzhki city council, i'm already with us yes, mr. mykola glory to ukraine glory to the heroes studio yes good health well, let's talk with you now mr. mykola how are you at the front on the front what is the situation in the east of ukraine we see that in mariupoli, well, in order for it to last 74 well, almost 74 days, and they even say that somewhere the russians have advanced a little, at the level of a shepherd, and in the ukrainian region, they have

retreated a little. in general, what is the operative situation in that region in the east of ukraine at the moment i congratulate you once again, mykola, you were absolutely right, we talked to you two weeks ago, and you asked such a question. where is this russian invasion, where is this super attack, as it turned out? this super attack was only in the media, as it turned out . here is this the super attack was only in the brains of these terrible uh absolutely senseless generals and those who are waging war uh they are not capable of anything except what you see behind my back behind my back you see the consequences of yesterday's uh missile attack on to the city of druzhkivka if tell you, 50 m to the left of me there is an ordinary cemetery in front of ordinary garages, there is nothing else here, this is all that

this russian community, which called itself the second army of the world , is capable of and recapturing our territories from our armed forces turned out to be the fact that we receive such missile strikes almost daily, and that twice a day, unfortunately, recently, air donations like this have been coming to us more and more often the situation regarding mariupol, we talked with you in the same way and even a month ago they said that the people of mariupol surrendered, that they were taken and surrounded, i said that this cannot happen these guys do not surrender, they can be taken prisoner yes, this can happen if their hurt and they never give up, this is the essence of ukraine. this living hmm soul that will never give

up, because this is our will, this is our truth, all the guys from mariupol. next, we will talk just with you, but i will voice certain theses, the most important ones. what did you hear from the press conference that he gave azov regiment so eh, the main thing is that the show cannot confirm the information about the evacuation of the entire civilian population in addition to azov, there is a connection with the command and an order from the command to azov to hold the defense of azov and therefore mariupol as well. representatives of azov said that captivity is unacceptable for them because it is too much a great gift to the enemy and that in mariupol the russians destroyed 25,000 ukrainians, mostly civilians, including azov himself, he himself destroyed two and a half thousand arashists of russian military personnel, that is, how by protecting the civilian population and by directly protecting the defenders of mariupol and azovstal,

despite the advantages of the russian army, they were able to destroy 2.5 russian soldiers and injure 5,000 rashists and such an interesting statement from the representatives of azovstal. for years, the authorities prevented us from preparing for the defense of ukraine and for the defense ilya samoilenko, the officer of the headquarters of the azov steel defenders of mariupol, said how do you understand this, mr. mykola, what does the authorities interfere with preparing for the defense of mariupol in what way and why deliberately unconsciously. this is a mistake. well, this is an extremely difficult and extremely painful issue, and unfortunately, there are reasons to think so. because those people who are my friends who escaped from the terrible clutches of mariupol , they also say that it was necessary to invest less money in the sea attractions there and it was necessary to invest more money in defense, in fact, so

mariupol well, sit down, obviously, i don’t know, i won’t name names or muscovites, for all those who own azovstalia ilyich, they thought more about some kind of separate peace and they believed although this person i should have understood that everything was taken from him in donetsk. i think that the same thing happened again . mariupol cannot be compared to dnipropetrovsk. i came to mariupol and saw that this city is absolutely not ready for an armed conflict. i visited dnipropetrovsk a month ago. i see how they are preparing to sneak up there, especially it is impossible and what happened with mariupol, i said a month ago on your channel and in your comments that it is a mistake to surround such a city, we give the opportunity to surround such a city, there are some gaps to very, very at a high level, i share this position that you have

just covered. well, let's go to odesa, mariupol. you have no questions. no, i understood everything more or less. well, it has been going on for two months, please, please, if possible, announce 8 years in luhansk oblast there are questions, they report, in particular, that they are not transporting a lot of equipment and are already involving the wagnerites because they are trying to break through to the enemy, the head of the luhansk regional military administration said: what do you think about the involvement of the wagnerites ? indicates that the russian military cannot cope, they lack combat experience, because the hungarians are a private military company, they fought in less hot spots, this indicates that they are generally incapable of anything other than scaring. i think that no wagners are capable of this to resolve such a global uh, well, not a conflict, but such a global clash as uh, in the luhansk region, what

are the wagnerians and what are the armed forces of various directions, aviation, artillery, infantry, tanks, etc. wagner is people who can enter the city and to commit anarchy there somewhere in syria or somewhere somewhere they won't solve anything, it's just panty, excuse me for such a word, it's to scare us again, as they scared us by the kadyrovs, how we were constantly scared by the second army of the world. how many of those wagnerites? tell me , please, and no, what they are capable of. this is absolutely being done for our society for may 9, we must order that we can still do this, there may be something else, they will never do anything, i will tell you that they will not get a hole from baglyk, they will never do anything here in donbas after that we see again and again what you see behind my back, everyone will just gnash their teeth in order to defend their land, no wagnerites

are able to do anything. yes, such nonsense, mykola, again, i will ask the questions that you are probably often asked. i mean some psychological changes in occupied donetsk region, which was occupied until february 24, they are happening. well, when i read that donetsk has turned into a small town, what the men were taken away by the army and half of them have already died because they don't know how to fight because they don't have enough neither weapons nor protective equipment of any kind all these things show that well, if the city does not care, women should understand that something has gone wrong. are they still they continue to think that this is, i apologize , the ukrainians are shooting on their own, that russia is

protecting them, that russian is what ukrainians are, and all these things continue to echo in the heads of these poor people of don, who still believe in putin or believe less, well, i want to say that on our territory on the occupied territories of the donetsk region, there are absolutely no thoughts that it is ours who are shooting, because we know very well when ours are shooting, when they are shooting, as if all these are very good thoughts, no , not very good wishes, the wattage that existed and in a large size, a large percentage, eh divided, it disappears and, unfortunately, this is where i am right now, this is where people have reason to come to their senses and kill this virus, the socialism of the soviets, the virus of russification, well, this

is the only way people have to understand who is who and who aspires to what? and as for donetsk, you said them absolutely clearly, if the guys take 18-year-olds, 20-year-olds, take them from their studies there , take them from universities, throw them like cannon fodder under our professional, already extremely professional military, then well, i'm already sure that in donetsk i have uh and i know and relatives of donetsk so it happened who are there well it happened but believe me that in donetsk there is enlightenment of the brain and russia is not perceived there as it was perceived in 2014 thank you sir mykola dovbnu department of the druzhki city council. this is near kramatorsk in donetsk region. okay, it does not apply to luhansk region, donetsk region. maybe you understand the strategy

and the meaning of the russians. why are they pushing it to the brink of this humanitarian disaster? today they targeted the popasnyanske water channel, and as a result, 1 million people are without food, water, as noted by the head of the luhansk regional military the administration will be enough for people only for a week in luhansk region, for example, in donetsk region , the situation is also critical please tell me, they will bring it to such a state terrible and what they then they will do what they themselves will drink and eat , if they want to capture the territory, first of all , they take it upon themselves to bring water, i think, although or they can just steal from the store, yes, for ukrainians , it is necessary to pay, and he just came and took liters of water , everything is clear, the second - it is that and what should they do, they are sitting there in the kremlin and putin is sitting there and says as generals go on the offensive they have to report on the second day to come and say we left
