due to their losses, they use a colossal amount of ammunition here, which is also not very profitable for them, in principle. well, you yourself understand the situation. so when we, roughly speaking, with machine guns and knives, we rush at tanks and molotov cocktails, we destroy them now and then somehow in the end, this situation must be ended, that is, it is possible. well, the impossible has been done, i will tell you yes, and the order is the order is to keep the defense and we are military, we carry out the order in any case, thank you very much for your comment, i wish you and everyone stability military personnel who are currently in azovstal svyatoslav palamar call sign viburnum deputy commander of the azov regiment, the qatari al-jazeera tv channel published a

report in which, among other things, they showed a car refrigerator filled, as journalists claim, with the bodies of russian soldiers who died in ukraine. belonging of the dead soldiers to specific military units, the label of the body armor produced in russia is shown. well, among the personal belongings of the dead, many gold coins were found products probably stolen from ukrainians, because zira notes that wagons with the bodies of dead russian soldiers were removed in the kyiv region and that russia refused to take all of these soldiers. well, i will remind you that during the entire war, the ministry of defense of russia reported twice about the losses of the russian army, the last time it was on march 25, then it was reported that 1,351 people died, that almost 4,000 were wounded, according

to the ukrainian side, russian losses among personnel amount to more than 25,000 and a half of military personnel president of the united states joe biden signed the lend-lease law for ukraine. the document provides for the simplification of military aid to ukraine by reducing bureaucratic red tape. the last time such a program operated was during the second world war, when american military aid was provided to the opponents of nazi germany, primarily great britain and the ussr. it was brought to the attention of journalists in detail after the signing of a historical document to the president of the united states handed over the pen with which the first ethnic ukrainians in the united states congress signed victoria spartaz i am going to sign the law which appeared thanks to these people and the vice president of course i am signing the law that will create another important tool for our efforts to support

the authorities of ukraine and the people of the country in their struggle to protect their country and democracy against putin's brutal war it is really brutal i want to thank the members of the congress for their support to the project of the law and to all those who supported it, this law demonstrates that the support of ukraine is critically important, now every day ukrainians lose their lives and fight against the beast from the russians who are simply beyond the border, the price of this struggle is not it is low, but it is more expensive to succumb to aggression, what does lend-lease mean for ukraine , let 's talk further, contact us, ihor eisenberg, a professor at new york university, the professors are greetings to you. for the supply of weapons

rests directly on the american president from i.e. ukraine asks for weapons. biden decides on their transfer or not and bypassing all bureaucratic restrictions. well, yes there will be no bureaucratic restrictions, the draft law gives the right to the president to make these decisions, not to agree with them, there will be such a chain, this chain is quite long at the moment, well, that was yesterday, now it will be much easier to do it faster, that is, well it is extraordinary that the quality of the agreement will be carried out anyway, because first of all there will be contacts with the leadership of ukraine, it will be found out what exactly ukraine needs to make a decision, and it will significantly speed up

the making of these decisions, that is, compared to the procedure that was used until now, that is, if until now it was necessary to bypass a certain decision, it will probably take at least 10 days, two weeks, now it will be possible to do it in one day, when the decision in principle has been made to transfer the duty with the next portion of aid ukraine will receive as part of the helen lease, we will discuss it with a military expert later, but i want to ask you what you think became the point of no return when washington realized that it is worth going to the end and supporting ukraine comprehensively. i think that this is a number of factors. look, in principle, the united states supported ukraine constantly, well, at least

during the current administration. in assessing the capabilities of the russian army, they changed their point of view, because the united states hmmm, when it was absolutely clear that they pushed that they could resist, they could simply win because in the battles of this war the union of states decided very firmly that the goal should be the victory of ukraine, the defeat of russia, and so on. that 's how it goes. i have one more question. joe biden the day before said that the president of russia putin has become a hostage of the war and that they say he has no choice, no option now to get out of this war, if this is really the case, then what are the options, uh, what development of events in this case are foreseen in washington and are being prepared in washington, you know, we personally point of view of the field soldiers, that putin is not able to get out of the war because it is

his, well, it’s his, it’s just his way of thinking, that is, in his understanding, there is no ukraine, and in another point of view, he will not change the dry, just as hitler fought, well, he was ready to fight to the last german. i don’t know if putin is ready to fight to the last russian or if he will be stopped er, but i don't see how, in any way, i can't stop because er, well , that's what the director of the cia said about it last weekend if he will be able to make a decision at least, at least temporarily, in his understanding, this is military action. he can only do it if he can announce that we have won a victory, what

will he consider a victory in this case, it is very, very difficult to say it was. generals who comment on events on television and in newspapers, e-e communication, e-e states are ready for the fact that this contract can continue , that is, that it will not end either tomorrow or the day after tomorrow i give you one i have one i have one i wanted to add one thing about the forest, is it necessary to understand that it is very good that there is a law about you forest, but it is very important that the congress adopts a law on changes to the state budget, prishchibaiten asked the congress yesterday because it is possible to finance weapons, but you cannot take them, that is, if they are taken from warehouses the pentagon needs money in order to

restore these weapons in warehouses, multimology, if it orders these weapons manufacturers must buy them, that is why biden asked congress first for 33 billion dollars, in addition, additional expenses the budget is already about 40 billion, i really hope that the congress will really pass it this is a law on changes to the budget this week at the latest at the beginning of next week that is, the president will then have the opportunity to use this money in order to use the law to sell the forest, that is, to take money from there provide aid to ukraine, which will be paid, we will monitor it, thank you very much igor zinberg, professor of new york university, was on radio svoboda minister of foreign affairs of germany and the netherlands arrived today on a visit to ukraine, it is known that the head of the foreign ministry of germany a na olena berbuk began her visit to buchi barbok, among other things, she became the first representative of the

german government to visit the ukrainian capital after the full-scale russian invasion of the german foreign minister accompanied by the prosecutor general of ukraine iryna venediktova in buchi barbok also met with local community, no one can take away the pain of parents, mothers, aunts and uncles, friends, neighbors and work colleagues, but we can ensure justice, that's why i'm here today with the general prosecutor, who will now investigate these crimes with her country, collect evidence, we, the international community, can make a small contribution by supporting the investigation of war crimes and crimes against humanity and ensuring that the guilty are brought to justice, this is our debt to the victims well, we continue to discuss lend-lease for ukraine, i will remind the law on lend-lease was signed by american president joe

biden the day before, how will this law radically change the course of the war, let's talk further with us on the link oleksiy melnyk, military expert, semi-director of the foreign policy and international security program of the razumkova center, my congratulations. if we talk about weapons, what can ukraine count on after the signing of the law in the art of changes in the nomenclature of armed equipment of ukraine, but in any case, financing that provides e- this law will allow ukraine to receive weapons in much larger volumes over the next two years, and it is obvious that the delivery period of such weapons will be reduced because the law allows e-e to bypass these three-valid democratic procedures. that is, it should significantly

speed up e-e supply to the resistance of ukraine, how can this radically change the course of the war, it is hardly possible to talk about any terms of when they change to very drastic changes, because e-e depends on many factors, but at least one of these main factors is equipping ukraine and ukraine with weapons that allow not only to hold the defense but also to move. follow e-e again as forcefully as soon as possible. this law will begin the task of the ukrainian side in relation not only to those weapons that are already supplied, but first of all, it is e-e creative

equipment, equipment that is intended or weapons for air defense of the mid-range soviet from the action and no longer the hostess of soviet models, namely modern russian military-technological weapons produced in western countries, you just said that the law will be in effect for two years, well, let 's hypothetically imagine that the ukrainian army went to counteroffensive it is already going on a counteroffensive in some directions and pushed the russian to the borders on february 24, 2022. if the ukrainian army has the will to go further and the ukrainian society will support it and the military-political leadership also supports how this law on land will work in this case -liz and the question is whether it can also be supported by the united states to accept as a

forecast of this war, because at the moment it is something that no one can predict, even then i don’t know if it is, well, the children still have time since these terms, which were originally determined by independent people with great faith, now it's all simple, how complicated is the question of whether this law is needed for two years, we all hope that the turning point will come sooner and that once again ukraine will be able to throw back the enemy's ball on religion on february 24, but also to liberate the territory of the economic country with the help of the armed forces, what will be the image of the kilometer-long dead or

disappeared after that, a pleasant threat to ukraine, so it is possible, and we continue to act for that in order to modernize and further support the reform of the ukrainian army in general, the strengthening of the possibilities in ukraine and so on. i understand you. thank you oleksiy melnyk, military expert, co-director of foreign policy programs of the international security center, razumkova, thank you 19:37 - these are the numbers of the armored mercedes of people's deputy viktor medvedchuk, i will remind you, is suspected of treason. and the book about viktor medvedchuk, written by our colleague maksym svoboda, a journalist, is also called 19:37 savchuk is the author of a number of anti-corruption investigations , including about viktor medvedchuk, his business connections, maksym's family ties, and my congratulations, he is with us live now. good day, i congratulate you on your

book, i know that you have been writing it for quite a long time, and currently the hero of your book is under arrest without the right to deposit, let me remind you and i know that you probably could not imagine exactly when this book would come out and medvedchuk would be under arrest, i could not imagine it and in general there were a lot of different nuances that endangered the release of the book in general starting from the publishing house, they agreed, then they refused to publish it, and then when it was ready and was being prepared, the war started and it was not published at all. it is clear whether this story will see the light of day at all, or whether the book will see the light of day . to order the electronic version of the book first, and on june 10 to receive the paper version, you can also

pre-order it today . viktor medvedchuk about the inner kitchen er journalist who as such er mm i think this is a book about life to a large extent because in the niche there are a lot of interesting stories that are taken from real life and the real life of the scheme program does putin need me? do you have an answer to this question? i think that he is no longer needed by putin. i think that in fact viktor medvedchuk is the bearer of a large part of the information, including about the

ties of ukrainian officials who are pro-russian and , uh, not openly pro-russian, with the kremlin, and if russia will completely abandon medvedchuk and there is a signal that he is absolutely not needed, then medvedchuk will at some point speak and can tell a lot of valuable things, which will also be useful for the investigation after the war . when i am sure that all the kremlin's connections with by ukrainian politicians, businessmen and other figures, so i think that now russia is just bargaining in order to pay for medvedchuk as little as possible. i have the opinion that russia will take medvedchuk for itself, but now it's just a question of price ugh and i will say for our viewers, why did you decide to transfer the fee from this book to the needs of the armed forces of ukraine. if i remember correctly, that's how it is. i will give all my

fee to the armed forces of ukraine because the times are such that they need our money, they need support in every way, that's why i made this decision, water order a book about medvedchuk well, next is the story from irpen - i will remind you kyiv region in the city more than 70 buildings were destroyed as a result of russian aggression in whole or in part, next is the story of a resident of the city whose house was destroyed almost completely. i never thought that it would be like this, that my brothers would attack us and do the same to

my house and my ukraine. my parents got married here, my husband lived here, he died here on the 24th, i was afraid, they went to the bomb shelter there, uh, there, they spent the night there, yes, they lived

there in the morning. it was at night maybe our m-m the government will still think and help us. there is still hope. i still hope that if they make concessions, they will give us some wagon so that i can live. maybe they will go for something for the winter, but we will have to think . i can't be until winter, only until winter, and how to stay in winter. in order to defeat russia , ukraine's allies must deprive moscow of oil and gas revenues, said the minister of foreign affairs

of ukraine, dmytro kuleba . my colleague zoryana stepanenko is watching the discussions in brussels. my congratulations from the last thing i saw on this topic. this is the statement of the hungarian minister of foreign affairs, where he said that hungary is not ready to join the oil embargo. what news do you have? i congratulate you on moving forward with the sixth package of sanctions . it is precisely at such a sensitive moment that the diplomat of the european union is given such a very difficult opportunity to make such significant concessions in brussels, which are unprecedented, i would say, and to countries that are especially dependent on russian oil was offered exceptions so that they, accordingly, would not block such a necessary and symbolic and practical solution, because the european union wants to prevent russia from making money from its oil in order not to be, let's say, involved in the

financing of the war in ukraine. the deadline for european countries to give up russian black gold was the end of this year, then the czech republic was ready to give more time until the middle of 2024, the transition period would last and it should have been even longer for recalcitrant countries, namely slovakia and hungary wanted to set the end of 2024 for them in brussels, that is, they had a significant advantage and these advantages, let 's say, are quite enough. and she also expanded the list of, let's say, these countries to which the exceptions apply, it is unknown because, well, that is, we do not know exactly how the european union reacted to bulgaria's demand, but for example, hungary, which this time is undermining

the unity of the european union on the issue of unity regarding anti-russian sanctions a-a for now let's say it like this hungary is not ready to support the embargo against russian oil eh the hungarian minister of foreign affairs pyotr sijarto said about this the day before, in particular, as you mentioned, and in essence he repeated the same thing said the hungarian prime minister viktor urban a long time ago. by the way, he received the title of friend of vladimir putin in the european union, so he eloquently said that the oil embargo is essentially equivalent to an atomic bomb dropped on the hungarian economy the european commission has not proposed anything to mitigate this harmful effect. i will remind you that it is precisely this principled position on which the fate of the sixth package of sanctions now essentially depends . orban has already received praise from the russian red security service through the mouth of dmitry medvedev, and in particular, he certainly did

not received praise from the president of the european commission, who the day before urgently flew out of budapest from brussels. package of sanctions so that in the end it is possible to reach some kind of consensus. and i will remind you that here in the european union, all decisions are made by consensus, that is, if at least one country from the european countries is against it, it does not matter whether it is a political heavyweight, whether it is a small country in terms of area or population, everything this alone is enough to make the decision to block, therefore , dry, and this was reported by von der leyen based on the results of this meeting, and it was possible to achieve some progress, but accordingly, the question it is necessary to work further and today again the message was not agreed upon, but manuel macron , the president of france, planned to call viktor gorban, so that it would be appropriate from his side to try to convince him that the oil barge is still

necessary, please thank you zoryana stepanenko from brussels is monitoring how the oil barge is being discussed in the european union, almost 3,000 residents of the border village of ryasne in the sumy region lived under the occupation of russian troops, the military lived in the local school and administrative building, looted, left their homes and local businesses, residents of the village told radio svoboda about how they lived during the russian occupation, the first days they still behaved, if a little restrained, but then they began to feel free and they realized that they were the owner here and they repeatedly told me that a new government would come so we are here to decide the fate of this village of yours. then they started walking around the abandoned houses, they entered the bold

houses . that we in donbas were worried that our children were sitting there in the basements without light, without water, without gas, and you must feel it for yourself, of course, looting flourished, canning potatoes were taken from people's cellars from march 8 to 26, they were in the village, kamaz vehicles took away our tractors with every piece of equipment there are trackers on two tractors , they appeared on the krasno-krasnoyaruga connection, and it lit up, so somewhere in russia it is riding, and we also had an art attack on the enterprise , e-e from the office was taken to us, all the laptops of the printer were brought to us telephones well, everything that could be taken was taken

away, even pens were taken away from the building where the tractors were standing, it was written dnr, well, the described harvesters were written dnr. that is, we were given damages of somewhere around uah 16 million, well, basically, it is the equipment that they said that which in you have a beautiful village, but we still have it, it’s funny, they asked what village, and they say, i’m asphalt, the light is in your house, capital, yours is like a mushroom, capital, they already had a shock that we have a satellite antenna in every yard, that we have plasma tvs and more than one computer 'jutors for them are everything tractor combines are standing in the yard. they don't even know how to go to the toilet, what are toilets , they don't understand that you need to flush the water after being in italy, it was a shock for me when they

left here, it was something very scary. she may have wanted him even in the day they went to pick it all up, so we did 26, they went and on the 27th and 28th they realized that we can't live in this village so that it reminds us of them at school, of course there was a mess there, it was something scary, i'm still like that i have probably never seen it in my life without such a thing here, they had this material, you can watch it in full on the radio freedom ukraine channel, i urge you to subscribe to radio freedom channels on youtube and in social networks, and freedom life will return to the air tomorrow, the war in ukraine is the main topic for ukrainians, victories and losses , analysis and forecasts, politics and geopolitics, all this will be talked about by serhiy rudenko and the guests of his program, people who have information and shape
