nosienko, the director of the center for military and legal research is from this studio, it was nice to finally see a living person as a guest. on youtube and on the air of the espresso tv channel, among other things, today we are talking about the parade in honor of the ninth of may in moscow, it took place without aircraft, in addition, russian president putin did not announce a mass mobilization, which some predicted military experts and intelligence will talk about it a little

later, but first, the russian army in luhansk region crossed the siverskyi donetsk river, today is a decisive day, said the head of luhansk region, serhii gaidai, according to him, the russian army is trying to cut off luhansk region from ukraine by taking control of the lysichansk-bakhmut highway the pontoon crossing through siverskyi donetsk, and through it the russian military has already transported equipment to the other shore, although the crossing itself has already been destroyed by ukrainian forces , if the russian army gets a foothold, it will be able to turn the offensive and get closer to the road by cutting off luhansk region, this will mean the loss of communication with other regions of ukraine, noted haidai ukrainian . consider it unlikely that russian

forces will return the north-eastern outskirts of kharkiv, liberated by ukrainian troops, in the kharkiv region, a correspondent of radio svoboda is currently working maryan kushnir maryany my greetings what is happening in kharkiv oblast now and what is your situation there? the situation remains difficult because the russian troops have not yet left kharkiv oblast and are currently located directly under the city of kharkiv here. ukrainian troops launched a counteroffensive operation in various directions in first of all, in order to push the russian army away from the city of kharkiv, which they regularly shelled from artillery and other volley fire systems, and in addition from aviation and missile strikes, and at the moment there are only missile strikes and air strikes used by russian troops in the vicinity of kharkiv oblast, and this happened both at night and in the morning, and in the previous days, and in addition

, missile strikes are also being used, but the ukrainian military is actively repelling these strikes, they use the following tactics, let's say point strikes, that is, they inflict fire damage on a concentration of russian troops or a concentration of infantry equipment or command posts. in this way, they weaken this attack from the other flank the military armed forces of ukraine are attacking and advancing naked, as you know, they have already liberated several settlements, among them recently the village of tsyrupivka well, actually, how it inflicts fire damage, today they literally filmed how they work with mortars, er, 120-mm mortars and inflicted a fire impression on the command post of russian troops near kharkiv actually let's see this plot fire and from a mortar on the massing of russian

troops i have an observation point on it now they carry 120 mm damage what kind of guests are we my change of ear,

i will remind you. this was the material of maryan kushnir. he works in kharkiv oblast. well, at the moment, donetsk region, two injured , broken and uninhabitable houses, a destroyed shop, a sinkhole several meters deep, on may 7, russian troops launched a missile attack on the village of malotaranivka near kramatorsk , this is donetsk oblast the victims say that they need help from the state, they need slate and builders, but people refuse to evacuate, three shots happened afterwards, it seems like silence, i

covered the windows, i think they say that it’s a draft less glass flies out and the silence seems like i went to the toilet and suddenly plaster falls on my head. it seems like i didn't hear an explosion, no, no, i didn't hear it. oh, and there were people in the toilet and i was saved, so the corridor was completely destroyed, and the front door was iron . and then such a plastic one all the way to the house . she is from yakutia invited well, what? i'll drop mine, let's go to sleep, i heard that the blow ran out into the street, locked up,

smoked silence, everything went into the house, the cellar began to pour down on us for a few minutes, weak eyes , i can't see anything, all the dust came out, that's the result, it fell all over the walls, yes, no, i'm now i'll have a basement there, i'll be based somewhere 4:15 a.m. we heard a small explosion and i wanted to open the window for ventilation. well, i laid down in the common room with the child, just hugged her, and that's all that covered us, well, at first it is obvious that we are not stunned we heard nothing at all, did not understand what happened next

, that is, when it came out from the shelf and we looked everywhere, there was fog and there were no walls, and all of this happened so quickly, no one even heard any noise with the child. everything is fine, yes , we just have a wall. their walls are thin well, just like that , it fell down and that's it. she saved everything, it covered us all, that's ethics. ok, on the glass, that's all that fell on us, in general, it covered everything. well , tell me what happened to you this morning. let me tell you. by the nose, that's all. shards in in your area, it is very difficult. well, no one in your area got hurt. they cut their hands and helped them. but everything that is alive seems to have passed away normally. please tell me how you are. in the morning, what actually happened was that there was a

blast in all directions. your opinion well, the furnace will destroy the walls, everything will be inflated, as if in fact it is still alive. tell me, how did it all happen to you today ? it banged twice. i just managed to download the window from this sofa. it fell out. it became dark and everything started to fly out and everything jumped out through the window. and that's it. yes, yes. oh, where is there even more? well, nobody. you didn't hurt yourself, no one, no one was hurt, no one,

nothing. well, that's all in ruins. well, what do you think? will you continue to rebuild your life, or will you not be subject to anything? well, for now, i have nowhere to go to the summer kitchen. i have nowhere to evacuate. no, i will not go anywhere. all the windows were broken and plastic and ordinary doors are crooked in general, in fact, the slate has nothing to cover, it is not clear to us what the authorities are saying . the brigade arrived, we are two pensioners, i have to be sick, he can’t do anything, i’ll remind

you that donetsk region was also donetsk region this was announced recently by the mayor of sloviansk, vadym lyakh, he also appealed to local residents not to post videos and photos of shelling on the network. on the day of the victory over nazism in the second world war , he said that soon ukrainians will celebrate another victory. the video will be filmed on khreshchatyk street in kyiv. in a video message, zelenskyi said that ukraine will not give up a single scrap of its land and history today we celebrate the victory day over nazism and we will not give a single scrap of our history to anyone,

we are proud of our ancestors who, together with other peoples as part of the anti-hitler coalition, defeated nazism and we will not allow anyone to annex this victory, we will not give it to appropriate our enemy dreamed that we would refuse to celebrate may 9 and the victory over nazism so that the word denazification got a chance millions of ukrainians fought against nazism and went a long and difficult way expelled the nazis were expelled from luhansk the nazis were expelled from donetsk from the occupiers kherson melitopol-berdyansk expelled the nazis from yalta simferopol kerch and the whole crimea were liberated from the nazis in mariupol they expelled the nazis from all of ukraine but the cities i have named today especially inspire us they give us faith that we will definitely expel the occupiers from there is no invader of our own land who will be able to rule over our free people sooner or

later we will defeat even the hordes, even nazism, even the mixture of the first and the second represented by the current enemy we are winning because this is our land because someone is fighting for the father, the king, for the figure of the party and the leader. and we are for the homeland. we have never fought against anyone. we always fight for ourselves, for our freedom, for our independence, so that the victory of our ancestors was not in vain. today, i remind you, it continues in ukraine 75 day of the war of the great war with russia about the prospects of its end, let's talk further with us in touch from minute to minute, we expect andriy zagorodniuk , chairman of the board of the center for defense strategies , minister of defense of ukraine 19-20th year, are you with us mr. zahorodniuk i think that there is already a greeting for you,

let me start with those ukrainian cities where today there were so-called parades, marches with soviet flags, immortal regiments, and so on . free them from the occupiers as soon as possible. there is no point in taking any other actions , because there is no point in talking with the occupiers, there is nothing to talk about, no talks, no conversations , they don’t understand. it’s just that they are fulfilling the task that they set, i could criminal government. our task is to throw them out of there as soon as possible and to restore the legal regime of a democratic country. actually, everything they do is very similar to the same hitlerian things that they did in their occupied

territories during the second world war, that is, they tried to establish there is their own legal order , so-called as they see it, but this is all totalitarianism a-a this is a completely different reality, we need to restore our legal order, our sovereignty in those territories in our cities today we will talk about it in detail. well, going back to may 9, a march took place in moscow today, and a parade to be more precise, and firstly it took place without putin not announcing the mobilization, and secondly, it took place without aviation, they did not involve aviation, allegedly because of bad weather, how should these signals be read? here in ukraine, i see how they are read in this world. we communicate a lot with analysts and journalists from all over the world. well, first of all, democratic education. bad weather never stopped. as we know , that is, if it was necessary, the aircraft flew in

any case. and that is, the whole world noticed, well, noticed, too. as we know, the minister of defense, our great friend without a voice in great britain , said that ah, well, anyway. no, no, it was not convincing, but hmm, to put it mildly, but the lack of mobilization, i would honestly not pay much attention to it, as we said before, because it is going, it is going hidden, it is attracting additional er resources and about er to declare about some huge mobilization of a million people there, everything else in russia, there is no such possibility because they do not have a command structure that would be able to master everything with these people, and they also do not have ready-made equipment, well, military equipment. the russian army is not strong. we already know how it positions itself. that is why their

capabilities are skewed in the direction of the people. well, if they attract, they will attract a million people there, and then what, that is, they don’t have weapons. they don’t have any equipment. there is no unit for them, they are not ready and there and so on and so on. that is, well, actually speaking, that's why in principle and besides. and i announced the mobilization because it meant for the whole world that their so-called special operation had failed and they are not able to fulfill the tasks, well, this is also not the message they would like to convey. today, on the white house website, it was reported that at 9:45 p.m. kyiv time, the president of the united states, biden, will sign the law on lend-forests. the west will protect democracy in what about ukraine? in principle, this signed law will change how it will affect the course of the war, so first of all, it is very symbolic that it will be signed on may 9,

ah, because, as we know, the only time when this ah, this, this, this scheme was applied, let's say this uh, this tool, uh, it was exactly during the second world war, when it was absolutely, uh, absolutely, absolutely critical for the victory over hitler, today it is used for the same thing, in fact, well, this is such a historical parallel, it is very serious, and what can it do it can make the provision of equipment without the allocation of additional budgets, that is, they can take equipment from their warehouses from their units from the e-e units of the american army and transfer it to us without additional bureaucratic obstacles regarding the allocation of the financial resource , the distribution of this contracting resource, and so on. that is it should be simplified more. and as it was simplified during the second world war, therefore, in principle , we count on the fact that this will seriously strengthen our capabilities. let me ask you about

mariupol because every day this topic does not leave the news. for example, yesterday the defenders of mariupol gave a big press conference for ukrainian foreign media and intelligence officers ilya samoilenko, who is in azovstal. he said that the problem is that the ukrainian authorities, the ukrainian government, sabotaged preparations for the defense city ​​and he also said. words for these theses well, you know very well that this preparation was conducted in a closed mode, so we cannot comment on the preparation for the defense of mariupol. we know exactly what it was supposed to be because we talked about a potential russian offensive in november a-a and of course, there

was a lot of skepticism, including myself, about that offensive because we understood that it would end in the failure of the russians because the number of people they prepared there, 150,000 plus 40 detachments and so on, was not enough to to seize even half of ukraine, but actually speaking well, many of the predictions that were made then came true regarding the unsuccessful failed attempts, but we understood that if they concentrate on which all these forces will be concentrated in some separate direction , then in principle er... well, in principle they will be able perform some operational tasks, and we all knew that the east of ukraine, especially around the area of ​​the operation of the joint forces, is the most risky, and it was the most risky, to put it nicely. now it also turned out when they the first plans failed, they still concentrated in the east, ah, that is, and, in principle

, preparations were being made. it is difficult for me to comment on it, because everything went on, everything went on in a completely closed mode, and there is one more thing that sounded for the first time by the way, this was announced yesterday at the press conference, it was also mentioned earlier that if the commander of the 36th marine brigade had not decided to break through , then the fighters of the azov regiment together with this same brigade could have held the defense for a very long time on the right please tell me here. well, i can say that in our army, in our armed forces, there is an opportunity to make decisions at the level of command of brigades, command of battalions. and this greatly distinguishes us from the enemy's armed forces, because they do not have such opportunities. they make all decisions centrally, and one of our, well, let's say so, reasons for our success and the fact that the armed forces hold on to many positions

. and for a long time, it's also a fact that they have the right to make decisions at the lowest level at the possible level, including at the level of units a-a, this is very different from the soviet soviet approaches, it is very different from those wastes that were even before the 14th year, and this, by the way, is part of our adaptations of our nato standards because they have such principles uh well, i can't comment specifically on the operational situation in mariupol ah because it is different in every city in every uh from mine but i can only say that the fact that we can make decisions on our own in separate operational areas and so on increases our combat potential tens of times. of the center for

defense strategies, the minister of defense of ukraine, in the 19th and 20th years, parades were held in occupied ukrainian cities until may 9 with soviet flags, which we have already discussed in part with mr. zagorodniuk, the so-called immortal regiment held in occupied kherson skadovska and energodar in kherson gathered a group of people with red flags in the slavy city park, the local publication most , for example, reports that people were brought from crimea for the so-called celebration in local telegram channels, users also report that the event was actively filmed for the russian media well, and a similar event, the so-called immortal regiment with soviet flags, was also held in occupied skadovsk, this is also kherson region, and in energodar, zaporizhzhia region, the moscow parade and about putin's speech was broadcast live in the open air well

, accordingly, in melitopol, the zaporizhia region is also an occupied city, and events were also held there until may 9, again with soviet flags, at least the russian telegram channels showed that a procession of the immortal regiment had allegedly arrived in melitopol, although the mayor of the city, ivan fedorov claims that the participants of the march were brought from luhansk and crimea, we are now in touch with ivan fedorov, the mayor of melitopol , my congratulations. so you claim that people were brought to melitopol to participate in these marches, why are you sure of this, i affirm that yesterday, from yesterday, people from the autonomous republic of crimea, our temporarily occupied crimea, were transported in buses to participate in this media event, yes, indeed, some honor, some of the participants are residents of the city of melitopol, but this is definitely not the the amount that was shown today in russian and russian telegrams, but it

is necessary to note several facts, first of all, the so -called leadership, precisely about the disclosure of the city of melitopol and the new head of the so-called region which was appointed by the racists did not directly participate in this parade thereby showing their attitude that they are definitely not with the people and they are far from the people, next you can look at the contingent which was mostly elderly people who were simply misled and accepted their historical memory based on their emotions i also want to note that in melitopol every year there were parades for victory day, they cleaned our veterans, those who really fought in the second world war, today there are a little more than 30 of them left in the city of melitopol but what is shown in russian pictures today does not at all correspond to the reality and the perception of the situation in the city of melitopol, how the city lives under russian occupation, what are

the key trends, you can now note the key trends that people do not know what to expect. they are waiting for the de-occupation. they are waiting for the arrival of the return of our armed forces to the city of melitopol . in the union, no one agrees with this at all, everyone clearly understands that there are veterans who defended and fought against nazism in the second world war, we all recognize this and we all respect these veterans, but the energy that today is trying to instill in the russian federation is not at all what everyone wants all the residents of the city of melitopol , after all, i am not talking about the ninth of may and not about the

march or the regiment - which one was today? everyone had some finances of relatives, they are leaving melitopol, unfortunately, it is almost impossible to leave today. i believe that if we talk about the fact that more than 70,000 residents of the city of melitopol have left, this clearly reflects the fact that people do not want to live under occupation, people do not want to live in an occupied place today there is a shortage of products at affordable prices, those products imported from the temporarily occupied crimea are not affordable for the residents of the city of melitopol, more than 80% unemployment today, people have nothing to do, more than one production is not working, people are on the brink of existence today in the city of melitopol no one accepts the so-called authorities here, the situation with medicines is also almost tragic, there is an element that more than 50%

of qualified medical personnel have left the city today, the situation with surgeons and resuscitators in the maternity hospital is quite difficult, so everyone everyone is waiting for the de-occupation, this is the situation, and those who are surgeons have left. yes, some hospitals are working, apparently, education is not working, social institutions, ukraine continues to pay them wages, social payments, ukrainian banks are working, i am correct understand or not, let's go by each category, educational institutions are almost not working, but all teachers receive salaries from the state of ukraine, the state of ukraine today fulfills all its guarantees regarding medical workers, yes, indeed, everyone who works, who is at the workplace, everyone receives salaries as required by ukrainian legislation, all civil servants, all social workers, all receive

wages, all receive pensions, there is a problem with pension payments in cash, but all on with their card, they receive pensions. and those who previously received them in cash can today transfer them to a cashless, er, cashless form, so the state of ukraine fulfills all its obligations and critical infrastructure . it works in the city of melitopol, all utility companies only for life also receive wages, such as the water supply, such as the structures of the housing and communal economy, so the state of ukraine did not even think of waking up the city of melitopol, fulfilling all its obligations about lyala about the fact that there is a great risk that the melitopol museum of local history, which holds scythian gold, may be robbed, you said that there is such a threat that it will be taken to

crimea the information we have is a week ago, a little more than a week ago, on saturday, some expert from the crimea was supposed to come and evaluate this scythian gold in order to understand its value , identity, originality, and so on. of course, this is original gold, which is almost without a price because, first of all, it has a hysterical value. now we have no information about the fate of this scythian gold. after the arrival of this expert, none of the employees of the museum have ever seen this scythian gold. that these were copies, this is not the case, we are a little confused, because there is another iconic museum in the territory of the melitopol district
