, they did not name specific settlements, but they noted that the russians increased their activity and on saturday evening they struck a hospital and two dormitories the city of orihiv, fortunately, there are no casualties , the enemy is also conducting aerial reconnaissance in gulyaipol, who is vasi? aviation and our servicemen not only hold the blow but also give fighters in kherson oblast the occupiers strengthen roadblocks and also put up big boards with posters with russian symbols in the center of kherson, they organized a photo exhibition and the resistance of the kherson people will not be stopped in chernobaivka the village council in its entirety refused to cooperate with the occupiers and at the local market khorobry a musician played the ukrainian national anthem, meanwhile, a fighter from a trench on the southern front assured the people of kherson of a quick release from the occupation

by the land of the ork positions, many enemy escorts are simply suppressed, destroyed periodically, they climb out there to scare something, but our arta immediately turns on right away , this all works for suppression, the russians are so afraid of mobilization and the future transformation into cannon fodder in the fields of ukraine that they continue to fire military commissars on duty the building was on fire in cherepovets two unknown people threw molotov cocktails at the windows of the local military commissariat the first full-scale invasion of the occupation forces into ukraine this is at least the fourth such before this case, nizhnya vartivska and ivan were burning in the pen, and these are only the cases about which the famous social network

president zelensky in his traditional address summed up a day full of meetings, thanked the participants of the group of seven for their support, the first lady of the united states lived, biden, who arrived in uzhhorod, croatia, germany, norway, and canada the decision of which will significantly support the ukrainian economy, in addition, ukraine has an extremely important decision by canada to abolish all trade barriers for a period of one year. on the other hand, canada has a strong potential for anti-mine work, we expect that this potential will be applied in ukraine where the russian occupiers have left thousands of mines and projectile spacers, in addition, ukraine will receive an additional 41 million dollars in military aid from canada, this decision was made immediately after the labor visit to kyiv, the local government made a

corresponding notification posted on the website of the canadian government, the new aid package provides that we will receive ammunition for a long time without m-77 firearms and cartridges, as well as satellite images high resolution and our military is also being sent 18 cameras for drones, the canadian government also announced new sanctions against russian oligarchs and those close to them in the putin regime. germany will facilitate ukraine's entry into the european union as soon as possible, assured the speaker of the bundestag berbas, she not only held talks with the president of the as the prime minister and chairman of the verkhovna rada of ukraine, the head of the german parliament also visited the liberated cities of kyiv region together with the first deputy chairman of the verkhovna rada oleksandr kornienko berbelbas visited buch and irpen, where she was shown the consequences of the reports of the russian invaders, the speaker of the bundestag

said that germany would also help with reconstruction and with legal support in solving the crimes committed by the russians in the occupied territories. about the main goal of democracy and the value of this visit. i would like to show not only the solidarity of the german people with the ukrainian people. i would like to confirm germany's financial support a humanitarian decision was also made to supply weapons to ukraine, we see that all this is unfortunately necessary in order to continue to protect democracy, freedom and to follow a common path to europe, we are historical he says that any evil will always be punished, we are not very grateful for all the help that the german

republic gives us and we are sure that we can have some discussions about methods yes, but we do not have a discussion about the main thing about the goal about the democrats about the values ​​for which people died anyone here and victory day over nazism which for most countries has always been a day of mourning for memory when it is necessary to promise that such crimes will not be repeated again russia has always turned into a loud celebration and a show of muscles in front of other countries ukraine's contribution to the victory did not recognize the ukraine of the hated stalins and then the kremlin propaganda in the modern generation of russians invested in head, the russians would have won this war and alone, in fact, millions of ukrainians fought in the soviet army, every fifth house was destroyed during the second world war in left bank ukraine the terrible tragedy of this humanity that should never be

repeated, moscow has always glorified it as its greatest achievement. celebrating the victory over nazism in 1945 at parades, russia as the successor of the ussr for a decade has secured only for itself, deliberately trying to erase even the smallest contribution of ukraine or other states to the overthrow of hitler and the numbers are more eloquent than the words of the kremlin propagandists, for all the years of the war, up to 7 million ukrainians were mobilized to the red army , hundreds more were in the troops of poland, the united states, canada, and france. thousands fought against the nazis in the ranks of partisans and rebels in 1944, every third red army soldier was a ukrainian, all men, even the youngest, were mobilized, and while the russians held high ranks among the rank-and-file soldiers, there were mainly ukrainians who liberated eastern europe, what the russian troops and the russian command can do, and and they

know how to throw cannon fodder at the enemy, which we now observe just by eye, but is this enough to win the second world war, obviously, the same as today, the answer is no the millions of ukrainians who died are almost half of all the losses of the soviet union. and together with those who died of hunger and were deported, the second world war lost the lives of up to 14 million ukrainians, because the war swept through our territory twice, first, full german occupation, then bloody battles and liberation as an example of absolute disregard for the fate of the soldiers became the destruction of the dniproges that the operation to force the dnieper for the sake of the liberation of kyiv there, the soviet leadership drowned hundreds of thousands of people in blood without seven million ukrainians, there is no victory on the ground in mind, no victory for the soviet union and all these angels of the hitler coalition was simply impossible during the liberation, ukraine itself suffered

colossal destruction, 700 ukrainian cities, 28,000 villages, 16,000 industrial enterprises were destroyed , another half a thousand factories were destroyed, the union managed to evacuate to the urals along with several million cattle grains with historical values, then it saved the soviet economy, but the industrial potential was never returned to ukraine, a terrible page of history turned to an equally cruel of ukrainians, the stalinist regime, and victory day, which the whole world celebrates with sorrow, became a tool of cynical propaganda for many generations of russians . er, in other words, we can repeat and they repeat the merciless bombing of cities, thousands of dead civilians , terror-occupied territories, the blockade of mariupol

, filtration camps, and mass deportations ukrainians in depressed cities, russia is again making up fables about the nazis, because that is the only way it can cover its atrocities. it would be better to shout about the history of empires and dictatorial regimes. someday such will be overthrown, and it will take decades to atone for the guilt of this people natalya kulyk-facts ictv marathon the only news ukrainians, germans and poles they created a video in which a ukrainian woman seems to pull a soviet tank out of a monument in berlin with a tractor, the goal is to remind, unfortunately , that german society has a completely twisted heredity due to russian propaganda a soldier of the red army, who is mostly perceived as a russian soldier, while a large part of the army that won on the sinus was installed by ukrainians, moreover, the best tank of the second world war, the t-34, was developed by mykhailo koshkin, a kharkiv design engineer, so these were

tanks of ukrainians, not russian soldiers, so the authors the video seems to say that the ukrainian woman came to take her own because nowadays when russia attacked our land we need weapons to defend ourselves 1945 tanks from kharkiv defeated nazism in berlin 2022 kharkiv is under fire from the russian army day and night ukraine will have tanks immediately we are taking these tanks back to kharkiv burned enemy equipment is another proof of russian terrorism in ukraine the 112th brigade of the territorial defense of kyiv handed over the remains of russian weapons destroyed in the battles to the main military-historical museum of the whole country from from the wreckage of combat planes to the personal belongings of the occupiers, everything that the fighters collected during the three months of the war, the initiators of the exhibition say that although the war is still going on, it has already become history, and therefore

these exhibits are a living proof of the heroic defense of kyiv oblast by neil samsonov more. at the entrance to the national military history museum, visitors are met by russian armored personnel carriers and bmps destroyed, of course, they clearly show what happens to the russians and their equipment if they enter ukrainian soil and not yet an exhibition of russian anti-slavery weapons the tail of a military aircraft neutralized rockets grenades special attention here and to the personal belongings of the occupiers for which the pages of the invaders in the networks were searched for better identification criminals, i want to show you evidence of samples of the latest weapons, in particular, there is an armored tiger that putin bragged about, that it was some kind of dangerous machine, but our guys of the 112th brigade are burning russian tanks and russian bmps, and the russian tiger burns just as well as everything else the rest of the russians are flying and here is the same stugna, a terrible elephant of russian armored vehicles, when the rushites attacked from the brovary side, the installation worked perfectly on this signature of fighters, and it actually knocked

out one of the first tanks that already broke through to kyiv and with a single shot the invincible super-powerful tank of the second army of the world simply burned down , nothing was left of it except a pile of iron law 2 months sappers of the 112th brigade neutralized explosive objects more than three hundred hectares of the outskirts of kyiv collected almost 20 tons of ammunition of various types with their own hands caliber, it is a hurricane-type cluster missile prohibited by seven international conventions, its particles fly in the air with gyroscopes and can be read at their victims. unfortunately, the russian federation applies directly munitions are indicated well, what about the strikes on residential areas, because in cities and towns, for example, in the makariv district of the kyiv region, we surveyed more than 25 km of forest-forest strips as part of an engineering sapper group, and the famous ukrainian

kobzar and bandurist taras kompanichenko, even in the most difficult days of the defense of the kyiv region, did not forget about he used music to support the soldiers at the opening of the exhibition, he sang a song that he wrote just on the front line, oh, even though we are reveling in these bairaktars and some javelins in the middle of the sunset, but we have stronger than all this our spirit, this spirit which a hundred times stronger than cannons, a spirit that is a hundred times stronger than the stingers of the ranks, even our native thighs. the 112th brigade handed over to the national military historical museum more than two hundred different exhibits. they promise that this number will grow, because the occupiers kindly inherited the nile on our land. samsonov artur turovych ictv factor - the only news after the mass evacuation of kyiv residents at the

end of february, the air in the capital cleared by 80%, and thus the hypothesis of ecologists that the main source of polluted air in kyiv is it is cars with internal combustion engines , about this for the head of the department of ecology and natural resources of the kmda, oleksandr vozic, according to him, in the very first days of martial law, due to the lack of cars, there was a noticeable improvement in air quality, despite the fact that the permanent sources of air pollution are the energy plants tec-5 and c6 did not stop working for now, that's all, but our marathon continues . this aftertaste will linger for a few days, and the position of germany occupies a special place here,

we are now in touch with andreas umland, political scientist, mr. andreas , congratulations, congratulations. europe this year, because of the ukrainian war, had a special flavor or, uh, well, there were no ukrainian notes. first, i apologize that i will speak in russian , so it will be faster. российской войны против украины eh i'm in berlin right now , for example, at such a large

eh in berlin, tomorrow and today, they will not use any flags, it’s not the russian flag, it’s not the ukrainian flag. today it's overdue to answer that, well, russia justifies its attack on ukraine as a continuation of the great patriotic war and sees ukraine as something equivalent to fascist germany. germans are such a painful topic, i think. but this is russian rhetoric, which looks at today's ukraine as something similar to fascist germany. it is just

for ukraine . to this uh, comparison and uh well, this here is generally perceived as a scandal, that's uh, uh, this is the russian language, well, we also drew attention to the fact that the authorities in berlin banned ukrainian flags, including on 8-9 may and please tell me, this is only the government of berlin. was it some kind of joint decision at the level of the federal government? no, this is not a local decision, and there is some other situation in other cities. there is a big one where the political meaning is just like that to say that there are no plastics that are afraid here of some kind of opposition and-y perhaps even er-er collisions er-er

physically with collisions between different groups well, but at the time when we are writing this interview, there were no such collisions correctly, i understand so far that there was nothing like that, but uh, i don't miss it, that tomorrow there might be some kind of order, even though it's hard to predict that, of course, there was information that some football ultras from other european countries might even come to support the ukrainians during these speeches and demonstrations, do you know anything about this? well, i am still unknown, but i am also hearing all kinds of rumors and uh, i think. just like these rumors, they started talking about the meat government to make such a few strange bans . i don't think that it's something against anti-ukrainian or pro-russian, it's more

like a fear that there will be a scandal here. russian cars raced around different cities when there was such a thing that then some of these cars caught fire well, in general, here, of course, against the background of the war, there is the willingness of some people to use force, and i i think everything is the same thing, this is the road. it is clear. in general , how relevant are these comparisons of the ukrainian-russian war with the second world war in germany, and do the germans see this story as we ukrainians see it? what is the struggle between civilization and totalitarianism going on now, and not just ukraine

is fighting with russia and i think that this presentation is gaining strength and it is increasingly using the word fascism for putin and for the russian ideology . in berlin, where exactly this was discussed, and in this connection, more and more simple and practical ideological skottstv is, uh, there is in putin's behavior , and this is where the term roshism, which is now also discussed in the western press , is growing well, but doesn't it bother you then? the promotion of this ukrainian position

, there was diplomatic tension a few weeks ago, there was a scandal with the non-arrival of the german president to kyiv , there was diplomatic tension due to the statements of the ukrainian ambassador, mr. melnyk, which were, to put it mildly , undiplomatic, and all this set such a note of misunderstanding between berlin and kyiv. now to lower this level of conversation between the two capitals. and i think it has smoothed out a little bit. to kiev and i think i hope that soon there will be a zidcamper eh in kiev and there is after india such that eh a german camper and the french president macron

should come together эффективный формат but then we will come to this topic in a different way, in your opinion , germany remains the leader of this european process of supporting ukraine, as it was until february 24, or then we talked about the fact that germany and france, as members of the norman four, support ukraine support the peace process, and now we see that great britain is acting much more decisively and more unanimously declaring its support for ukraine. in this sense, germany looks like a country that is already catching up with the position of great britain, or is it felt this is in germany and here, too, rybak of this slowness and restraint in germany, there is a big discussion here there is an extra-large camp of political experts and journalists who are very critical of

germany's current policy because it has lost its leading role, but i would also like to speak a little bit in favor of understanding this german role, and it is connected with the fact that germany is not such an effective partner objectively objectively because it has its own problems with its own army, which is in a deplorable condition, and as for sanctions against russia, germany is in a more difficult situation than, say, germany, than great britain or the united states or canada, which does not have this dependence so let's say russian gas. from russian oil and for germany, so to speak, this kind of measure is more expensive and more risky, that's why there is a problem in making money, that

germany slows down this whole process, like aid for ukraine, yes, yes, and sanctions against uh, against russia, that's uh, well, it seems to me that it's more explained by such objective uh, aspects than uh, something pro-russian or anti-ukrainian here moods that are in general well, moods for now there is in germany as in other countries, but they do not define the margin and do not define the german external behavior, the behavior of germany in relation to ukraine in particular, although i am here, of course, when i speak. in the german press, in german specialized magazines, i also criticize this well, slow down, how would uh-uh help for ukraine and also not decisiveness what about uh-huh good and

then the last question mr. roman because she has very little time left and for how long is this change in germany's position towards russia and its bloodthirstiness and how long will it last process and whether it can be said that the position of germany in relation to russia has already changed. well, it's rhetorical, as if the official change has happened. in ideal positions, not only in politics, but also in universities, ministries, etc. this is a pro-russian discourse, he has lost his legitimacy - many people recognize this now

they admit that germany's shelf was not right, it was wrong, but on the other hand, there is no more uh-uh, how would uh-uh, act sufficiently, i would say so . we also have a problem. we are running out of time. thank you, mr. andreas, for finding some of your time for us. andreas umland, a political scientist from berlin , was in touch with us. we are extending the term great patriotic war, an ideological cliché that was created in the soviet union to emphasize the great war of the entire soviet people against the german-hitler troops. in fact, such a single impulse is exaggerated for many union

republics, including ukraine - it was not always a war for one's homeland in ukraine, the events of world war ii were preceded by a decade of repression , famine, great terror, during which the stalinist regime exterminated millions of people, many who perceived the beginning of the german-soviet war as an opportunity to liberate themselves from stalinism, the mass capture of soldiers and officers of the red army also proved that hundreds of thousands of soviet citizens were not are ready to fight for stalin and did not perceive the war as a patriotic war, many residents of the soviet republics were not aware of the threat of nazism since 1939, nazi germany was an ally of the ussr, and communist propaganda constantly emphasized friendship and the absence of contradictions between the two regimes, so the concept of the great patriotic war was needed to cover up the facts of the previous

cooperation of the two totalitarian regimes, on august 23, 1939 , germany and the soviet union signed the molotov-ribbentrop pact, its open part guaranteed the mutual neutrality of the ussr and germany but the secret protocol described how the soviet union and the third reich agreed to divide ukraine into spheres of influence in europe until 1941. they acted as allies already on the first day of the war, on september 1, 1939, german aircraft bombed lviv, and the ussr placed the minsk radio station at the disposal of germany which served as a radio beacon for bombers. on september 17, 1939, the red army crossed the eastern border of poland . in fact, this was the entry of the soviet union into the second world war on the side of nazi germany.

together they disarmed polish units, ceded captured territories to each other, and even held a joint soviet-nazi military parade in brest. the team adapts the great patriotic war a simplified black and white picture is offered where the ussr is an unconditional force of good and its opponents are the embodiment of world evil, the reality was much more complicated, the very name of the ussr was borrowed in tsarist russia, this was the name of the victorious war of 1812 on the twos of napoleon, in addition to the entire ussr, he wanted to be the only winner in this war of privatization attempts russians can see victories until now, let's remember the great patriotic war - this is an idea
