[000:00:00;00] it is impossible to unblock azovstal by military means, the ukrainian side is working on the option of exchanging seriously wounded ukrainian soldiers for captured russian ones, but at the moment there are no agreements yet, please contact us yuliya fedosyuk, the wife of a soldier of the azov regiment who is currently in australia yuliya my greetings i congratulate you i know that yesterday you and another woman, kateryna prokopenko , wife of denys prokopenko, lieutenant colonel of the national guard , commander of azov, met with the pope, and the media reported that you gave him photos wounded soldiers at azovstal, what did you hear for yourself in response? after this meeting, do you have any hope that your men will be saved? we sent two letters to putin, where he also asks

to let go of the military garrison from mariupol , also a letter from himself and so fresh photos prisoners oh, i apologize to the wounded servicemen who are now far away from what he said, how the pope behaved, it was clear that he is completely in the const, that is, he is immersed in this situation very much, he is very empathetic, he emotionally reacted to us got up when he was talking to us, that is, he was sitting when he approached him on one of the he got up and gave us his hand. that is, it was clear that he was immersed in this situation, that he was already offering options about his help and on the question of evacuation, about the corridor and about the saint throne as mediator in all this. he replied that he spoke with the cardinal and it was not a problem for them, which made it clear that as always the only problem is

the russian federation and putin, well actually today the leader of the dpr group is denys pushylin rejected the possibility of extradition of ukrainian servicemen to the russian federation, and we know that the post does not solve anything by itself, obviously relays the will of the kremlin and how do you think why in the kremlin, why putin does not go to any negotiations, that is, with regard to the fighters, uh, who are in azovstali? and why such an attitude i think that they are treated like this for only one reason. because this is one of the most combat-ready units, the most professional and the most motivated, because god created it exclusively from provolians, these are people who are really ready to sacrifice their health and their lives, these are people who are not given columns , of course for putin, such people are the main enemy because you cannot negotiate with them, you cannot

exploit them and they will be until the end, therefore he needs to discredit them and he has no in this case, they cannot be exchanged, but us. in fact, i believe that the chances of saving them in a diplomatic way are still very high, because we have heard many stories about the impossible, it is impossible that russian troops will leave kyiv, it is impossible that russia will attack the whole there were a lot of fantastic things in ukraine and it all happened, and that is why i think that if we really make an effort, if the world, diplomats, international organizations press putin, it is possible and we must do it because this is how people are alive, they are injured, they have absolutely no food, no water, no medicine, and we all we can still save these people zero when was the last time you spoke to your husband i just spoke to him he hasn't been in

touch for a day i just spoke to him he is a combatant in the sense that he is ready to die that is he they everyone is preparing for death, they will not give up, they will fight to the last, but at the same time, of course , he is disappointed, disappointed that the blockade did not take place, disappointed that there is a diplomatic political way to solve all this, and the terrible stories that the wounded die without help every day, that the bombing and air raids continue he chooses the military. he is in a terrible condition because of all this. it is because of this that his friends die every day and they are wounded . he cannot help them in this context either. it was very difficult, thank you very much for your comment yulia, i think you should meet your husband and

keep him healthy and unharmed yulia fedosyuk , the wife of a soldier of the azov regiment, the kremlin is again threatening nuclear war deputy head of the russian security council dmytro medvedev said that supplies in russia are called pumping up supplies by countries nato weapons to ukraine increase the risk of a full-fledged nuclear war. bears, by the way, have threatened nuclear war for the first time. he also said that nato's support for ukraine increases the likelihood of the conflict between nato and russia, and it is said that this scenario will be catastrophic for everyone, but it looks like nato ukraine’s weapons, the preparation of its troops for the use of western equipment, the sending of mercenaries and the conduct of exercises by the alliance countries near our borders increase the probability of a direct and

open conflict between nato and russia, such a conflict always has the risk of transition to a full-fledged nuclear war, but it looks like it will expand even more after russian demands and threats. finland has officially announced its intention to join the a joint statement was made to the alliance by the president of the sau linemen and prime minister kasan-mari. they informed that the country will complete all the procedures at the national level necessary for joining nato within a few days . finland will join the alliance quickly, world changes are now expected that in the coming days, sweden will announce its intention to join nato sweden has been a neutral country for two centuries finland has almost 80 years and before russia's attack on ukraine, the majority of citizens of both countries were against joining any

military blocs, moreover, there it was believed that non -alignment is a guarantee of their security. % of finns said about this in particular today the minister of foreign affairs of finland pkh visto and added that finnish politicians will respect this poll such a decision, i will only add that for understanding finland and russia have a common a land border with a length of more than 1,200 km well, it is obvious that the events in ukraine made an impression on us in finland, the unpredictable behavior of russia is an inevitable problem, russia is more ready to carry out operations that are risky for russia itself and that will lead to great losses for it, secondly, russia has the ability and a willingness to put pressure on its neighbors by rapidly deploying forces and deploying more than 100,000 troops to the border without

mobilizing the country's civilian population thirdly , there is widespread talk in russia of using unconventional weapons, such as nuclear and chemical weapons, although the use of such weapons is prohibited by international agreements on the euro-atlantic perspective, finland has already reacted in moscow, the russian foreign ministry said that finland's accession to nato would cause serious damage to bilateral russian-finnish relations, and that russia would be forced to take steps in response, putin's spokesman dmytro piskov stated that the accession of finland to nato will be the reason for mirror answers does not make us the continent more stable and safe will be expressed further this process expansion will move the military infrastructure is approaching our border, do you understand? if you remember, there is a current order of the president and

the commander-in-chief to develop a list of peace orders to strengthen our western flanks in connection with the strengthening of the eastern flank of nato. that is, it is necessary to move in our direction, the euro-atlantic prospects of finland, sweden, now i will only discuss this i will say that russia is withdrawing military units from the kharkiv region to reorganize and replenish its forces after heavy losses according to the daily report of the british intelligence, according to the data of the british special services, the russian forces withdrawn from the kharkiv region will probably be deployed on the eastern bank of the siverskyi donets river. well, let's talk about the security situation further, contact us valery kravchenko, senior researcher of the foreign policy department of the national institute of strategic studies my congratulations to you , let us first give you this latest news regarding the withdrawal of russian troops from kharkiv region. and british intelligence says that this is evidence

russia's inability to seize key ukrainian cities, while in this case the situation will develop , the situation may develop, well, that's good, i think it's a consequence of our contract, which we all know about and which we carefully prepared and we actually entered the admin border of the state the border between russia and ukraine is just north of kharkiv, and it is good news that the main goal of the russians was actually not achieved there, and they have been saying consistently for a long time that the russians wanted kharkiv for themselves, it is a great symbol that they wanted to seize what in them now it didn't work out there, uh, i think that this regrouping, rearmament is conditional, it will take time, firstly, and secondly, it's not the same motivation of the soldiers in the same uh, whom they will

pay for these holes, it's obvious that the quality of uh and the motivation of the military in russia is at a low level, so when will they be sent? ani in kharkov forced ani to close her eyes like them they say how much is 5%, but for the luhansk region, which is not under the control of russia now, it is not occupied by russia , they will not be able to do it now, so we are looking at the situation. well, we are waiting for the strengthening of our forces, e . and in other areas to take place well, now let's

return to the topic of nato expansion, probably a year ago, no one could even imagine that finland and sweden would apply for membership in nato. that russia has unpredictable behavior, we already predicted it. they talked about this conflict and how ready russia is for a full-scale conflict. and today we do not minimize the threat that still remains. we understand that if russia starts to lose, it will use all possible means to avoid this defeat, primarily a symbolic one. how can it do this, there are chemical weapons and nuclear weapons, and when the prime minister of finland was shown this list of finland's motivations for joining nato, he read out, and he only brought this one to the third place nuclear, i would definitely put the nuclear threat

first, because finland and sweden do not have nuclear forces, nato has nuclear forces. well , all this motivation is the first, for sure, so that the people of developed democracies, sweden finland takes the first places in anti-corruption in all ratings and in terms of how comfortable these states are. to live so that these people feel safe from such threats from such a society, especially when we see that russia is ready despite all the losses and for a physical impossibility, they are ready to raise rates, they are talking about a certain company that they probably can implement in transnistria, they are looking at the baltic states. well, why are we looking at the scandinavian states, so uh, this is a normal reaction, normal uh,

democracy for that so that countries can become members of nato, well, the terms are certain. i did not say now. well, i think that it is fast enough . june this is to consider applications for membership, a conditional pdc, yes, an action plan regarding the membership of these organizations and the next summit, which will be in a year. it is likely that he can make a decision on the full true membership of finland and sweden, but at this time we see both the swedes and the finns. they are looking for others fuses for ourselves, we would see a visit by er boris johnson a-a in fact, they are britain already today taking charge not only over er

european affairs yes, we know how to actively go abroad johnson is now helping here with ukraine but here is this global strategy of leadership somehow sets itself the goal of great britain, it also applies to the scandinavian countries because it is one region yes and britain is purely military moments well and hmm eh sweden and finland were in nardefka - that's so and eh- is a regional alliance, i.e., points related to the interoperator with the interoperability of the armed units there with nato countries have already been worked out in fact. of nato models, they remember this contract for a century there 35 eh f-35 this is it and the fifth generation that they buy from the americans they have their

own planes and armored cars finland is one of the leading countries that exports its own armored vehicles, in particular headlights in particular, there are other states in australia, there are many places that are the leaders from the point of view of this arms market, and finland, sweden will strengthen nato clearly, and nato understands this, and here piskov said that it is moving too much. well, it is good that it it moves too much not a monument yes and not to to put atb on a pedestal as it stands because, well, dcb is today it is a monument and the fact that it moves too much it reacts to all those moments that they saw in ukraine well, this is a study about the fact that too much does not want to be effective before it's just moving, it's moving towards the eastern border and towards the east, which is exactly what russia was against, but when, uh, in the kremlin, when the bears announced that there would be piskovy, i apologize , he said that there would be a mirror answer well, they still

like to use the word asymmetrical answer well it doesn't matter what the answer might be, and the main thing is that there is still some time until these countries are not under the umbrella of nato, the application - it doesn't mean anything in terms of security, i also don't quite understand what the stars might be, the answers about which russians are there they say, amen, that the dates are moving towards russia, you know, ah, russia did a lot to make everything happen and uh, this is this, the russians did it all with their own hands. they are looking for an enemy to then heroically do something against him breed well and hmm, first of all, this is internal propaganda for the internal population, that is, the russians are, well, i have no pity for the russians at the moment because, well, it is them. perhaps, what is happening today in europe, but in a certain way

they are also hostages, but you know, such conscious hostages in this situation i have always said that i will say that if the russians want to choose someone else besides putin, they will take another putin as their next tsar . i think that the main theater of hostilities yes where they can give an answer is still ukraine today perhaps we can see certain processes taking place in the caucasus today yes there were so-called elections in the so-called south ossetia and there they want you to unite with eh of north ossetia, that is, to open that front as well, this can be an asymmetric answer, yes, this is georgia, in fact , is it the same democracy, which is vulnerable, a democracy that can be tested, russia can do this , as happened with ukraine, so georgia was also demanded to put ukraine in separate brackets and for

nato to guarantee that these countries do not join, and the last answer i have is you mentioned the summit in madrid in ukraine, expect something from him, this nato summit in madrid, well, let's say that it will be such a fan club of ukraine precisely in there are models of me where everyone will be amazed by our armed forces and their level there, my friends from poland sometimes write yes, there is master yoda level yes, that is, our gunners and not only how they work there, that is, everyone is crazy enthusiastic about what we do to us we have to answer. that is, our diplomacy is no longer the same diplomacy as it was before the war. we are a big country. our armed forces cover the whole of europe. this is already in practice. this is not just some kind of claim or ukrainian propaganda . it is necessary to keep the mark and understand that, in principle, nato today has no window of opportunity for

ukraine, obviously because we have a war and nato will not take ukraine here right now, but the fact that the whole world is now civilized in solidarity is a lot like the personification of zoltyk for security for this world is a gift with what ukraine is doing and for and against what russia is doing, er, this is when we will receive many political signals, positive signals from the point of view of the future er, but the most important thing is to receive practical er help from the point of view of what is happening today modernity thank you very much valery kravchenko , senior researcher of the foreign policy department of the national institute for strategic studies in mykolaiv, which is intensively bombarded by russia, has been out of work for the third week water heater, gasoline shortage well, in fact, there is a shortage of gasoline not only in mykolaiv. well, in order to

adapt to military conditions, the red cross in mykolaiv formed a new bicycle unit. volodymyr, one of the volunteers of this unit, gets on his bike every day, covering 70-80 km, delivering orders for pensioners. this is how it is he looks , look, recently, this is how he starts every morning, he is disturbed by the cross. and tell me, please, i need it, and we will drive it, we call people, uh, to make sure that they are waiting for us, that they are at home at the base they form an order for us, it can be food, hygiene or medicine, then we go to the warehouses and collect all this according to the order, we prepare packages for ourselves for the day, volodymyr was engaged in cycling for a long time, there were competitions and medals, but the war changed everything due to the lack of gasoline in the local

red cross formed the new bicycle division is an acquaintance, he brought food here, he also offered, says that there is one here, they want to open such a department for the delivery of small packages at a short distance , it is aimed at people who are lonely pensioners there of a respectable age who cannot move on their own in volodymyr svitlana's java. she was surprised by three organizations. here is the only red cross. here he is. i was just in shock. i don't know. is there really such a thing? she is on a walker outside the yard and unable to go out to buy groceries. and there is no water in the city as a result of the fighting, the water supply has been cut off, so oh, thank you guys, god bless you all, that they

brought up such good children, he says, too, good children, handing over the package, volodymyr unfolds he rides his bike to the next address in a day, he passes by a dozen addresses, i just ordered water uhu pyativuyu и этот и продукти питания yes even here there will be a heavy package come on come on such as vova in the mykolaiv red cross, 20 people, the route of each person per day is 70-80 km, i will honestly say that i sent only around the

city and i only had drivers ride rosat varvarivka velyka mala korenikha ah, but they said we can do it, we will do it, i was very worried because first of all there were hostilities there. that's what i think. let's try, and by the time they went there, they had driven 100 km. vova tells people to listen to some of them. the weather, about the situation in the city, about what else you can get, they ask how else to call our day, then something fell somewhere, and that's how it opened. make sure that they don't throw me into the common pit, so that i can plow nearby with my friends that's me ego all the time i'm asking. i probably

didn't know before that i could do something like this on a voluntary basis. communicate with such difficult people . well, i feel that i am needed, that i can help the city in some way, the local residents of the village of dymerets, kyiv region, stole a russian military fuel truck, this happened in the first days of the full-scale invasion, the residents were able to hide the fuel truck in the forest and drain about one ton of diesel fuel, which was transferred to the local a hospital and a shelter for the elderly, at that time there was no electricity supply in the city and doctors were saved only by a generator, inflammable gas tankers simply stood in a hiding place undamaged throughout the russian occupation, and after the arrival of the ukrainian army, it was transferred to the 72nd separate mechanized

brigade for use, they started shooting in the morning, we decided to come let's see, let's try using the wheels and the hose , i climbed in, there was a key, sat down, went everywhere, went from there, turned here, came a little way from the road, put it on there will be valika, and why didn’t we go further, the neighbor, a combat girl, came and drove everywhere, she looked at some of them, what was there, there is the ural, she says i

tried it, it starts, she touched it. they ran along the dirt road so that no one could see us. on this descent, he came down. and here he was, hidden in all the bushes. the barrel was made of a kind of booth in their house, and it was very windy. we pulled it all the way to the cabin . then the neighbor says wait for him 1 2 we'll see what will happen, i thought, i decided it's better to give it away for the good, what to make

her angry or burn the light in the hospital, there was no light to ensure the operation of the hospital. i brought the diesel truck to the place where they unloaded it, and they immediately unloaded the canisters from the car. i asked where it was taken, where it was stolen, where the band stole it from the katsaps. well, thank god , and well done, the same generator was made here, and they just delivered this diesel truck here, and here it drips. there are diesel engines, they were saved right there and a lot of our early people were brought in. he brought us 700 liters of diesel fuel and it was enough for 7-8 days of work for us . it was a great support for us. well, everything ran a little bit, a little bit in the canister, a little bit on the ground, one rearranges the canisters , one holds

it, they recruited it, loaded it and took it to the hospital, did the russians find it, they found it? they went around and scared the people so they wouldn't climb, i told everyone i saw, don't climb, they'll come, let's give our life , let it be useful, let's agree, life is an affirmative story, well, more such stories on the radio freedom ukraine channel, subscribe to the freedom life program, it will return to the
