of the russian occupiers because of their airstrikes, which recently damaged two water treatment plants, so let's get back in touch with valery, a reserve officer of the armed forces. in europe , ben-hodges believes that the russians are considering the possibility of capitulating. he reported this on his twitter and said that such conclusions can be drawn from the rhetoric of russian diplomats, who constantly, like mandra, repeat that capitulation is not they are gathering in front of ukraine, but even though he says that this is actually, as usual, everything the russians say must be turned upside down and then it will be closer to the truth, that is what he says, in fact, this can mean only one thing, they realize that this is a very real possibility that we have the communication with

valeriy about the stock p valeriy, so we are concluding, we heard the last of what you said that the country was not fully prepared for this war, and accordingly, this affects the equipment, we are talking about aerodevelopment, please, not only about intelligence, but also about heavy weapons, because long-range artillery , aviation. as you can see, in particular, missile capabilities are what we lose to russia. we lost until recently until serious deliveries from our allies began. at the moment, the situation is leveling off, but when it leads to the fact that we will become stronger than the army this is a question for russia, that's why the whole society, the whole country, the state, the leaders must work for it, because, look, this has happened and

is happening, sometimes the impression was that some experts gave such a negative impression that russia almost suffered defeats, besides, now this word capitulation on the part of russia sounds strange, because maybe even the russians themselves throw out such a thesis so that we relax, we underestimated their uh plans, the military also do not need to evaluate their military capabilities, it is really a very powerful army because that what they brought to ukraine from the russian federation with their missile capabilities, we will soon not be able to change it to our own side. therefore, we must realize that this is very serious and for a very long time as far as air reconnaissance is concerned - this is the component and a component that developed at such a fast pace until 2019, from 2019 it began to slip again because, traditionally, people who have not been

in a real combat situation underestimate it , air wings are not only useful for reconnaissance, they also help artillery work with surgical precision therefore, of course, every tactical unit of the armed forces must be equipped. and now i see that such a wave of volunteer assistance has begun, the state must be included because, for example, in the same russian army there are full-time unmanned er lethal vehicles er but in ukraine there is a shortage of them in the ukrainian units . that is, we have something to work on. and we need to make up for all the lost years, literally, so that in a matter of weeks and months, the russian army will not be here able to advance further. and for it to be simply driven out of our territories by the armed forces. well, i wanted

it to be driven out of kherson as soon as possible, which i am now a temporarily captured enemy . in touch i want since we are talking about the south, we listened to this direct speech of one lady with a brave lady from kherson who talks about the actions of the occupation authorities today these days let's listen and return to the discussion good morning we are from ukraine kherson greetings to you on may 13, the occupiers are trying to force doctors to work for them, they promise a salary of roubles , but we have hryvnias, so far no one gives in . to withdraw hryvnias, you have to stand at the atm for several hours or pay money changers 5% in cash the apartments of kherson residents who have left as long as no one is

settled in, the heads of the condominiums are holding back and do not reveal terrible secrets, because ours will return home and everything will be fine, so ukraine, we love you, we are waiting for you. you have no idea how much we love you with all our hearts , with all our souls, greetings well, it's hard to listen to such and such words but at the same time it is necessary because it shows how brave ukrainians are simply because we know what the situation is in kherson. place them in torture camps where they are interrogated and forced to renounce their country and their own patriotism and give some information to the

occupiers valery, well, i want to hear your comment here, of course, from such people it just hurts to listen to er, in particular, in my unit there are several fighters whose relatives are there under occupation. of course, they are all in the risk zone because you understand that the kgb is also looking for the participation of the families of the participants of the ato and all the soldiers of the armed forces, and of course that all efforts must be made for that for these territories to be de -occupied, the only thing i want to emphasize is that we have a society that has mostly not experienced war all these years. they think that it is possible to liberate the territories exclusively by military means, it is very difficult , because how will you liberate a settlement if the occupying the troops are among the civilian population, they place their heavy equipment there

directly, the personnel are placed. we can not afford to cover with the same rcz or heavy artillery e-e places where there may be civilians people. therefore, these efforts must be comprehensive . of course, the armed forces will carry out a counteroffensive, they will carry out sweeps, but it is necessary to apply political, economic and diplomatic measures . of our fighters, and here every word is really worth its weight in gold , a word that comes from different areas of the front, from those places where it is the hottest and where our fighters put the most effort into defending the country and

to win back our territories, let's also tell you about today's losses of the occupiers, which the general staff reported this morning, it is about uh, additional hundreds of russian soldiers, 27,000,400 are the estimated losses of uh, on the part of the occupiers, as of now, and let's add that these calculations are much more complicated the introduction of active hostilities, and russia traditionally refuses not only to recognize these losses, but also to take its dead from the battlefield, and despite the fact that ukraine is trying in every possible way to hand over the bodies of the dead to the entire refrigerators are filled with these bodies, and as reported by the ministry of defense, the digital

technologies of the modern world are developing, allowing a significant number of these occupiers to be identified. therefore, our intelligence work is also ongoing in parallel, and it is very important to contact these victims and inform them of the death of their loved ones in ukraine that they and their acquaintances do not take part in the so-called special operation of putin's criminal war in ukraine, valerii returns to contact us about the reserve and the editors tell me what we didn't manage to restore this call. well, we talked about a lot of things and it's really important about mykolaiv. i'll briefly finalize because we already have the next connection from poltava oblast. they will say only one thing that the situation in mykolaiv with water is extremely difficult, but the volunteers are helping and the city itself is trying to restore the water supply and delivers

water to people, and actual humanitarian aid , volunteers are also actively involved in mykolaiv oblast and mykolaiv , dmytro lunin, head of the poltava regional military administration from we are in touch right now. congratulations, mr. dmytro . i wish each other good health. thank you for joining our broadcast. let's say that the other day poltava oblast suffered the most massive strikes during the entire war: 12 rocket strikes on kremenchuk, poltava oblast , and as it became known yesterday, a significant number of these strikes came at the oil refinery, but rockets also hit the thermal power station, what is the situation in kremenchuk and in general in poltava oblast as of today at this hour , how extensive is the damage caused by the enemy? to the mortician, at the beginning of the week there were strikes on karlivka, er, on infrastructure objects, i want to

say that there is really no logic, there is no point in hitting a plant that has not been working for three weeks, and there were repeated strikes, most of them on the oil refinery itself, and one rocket hit the petitions two rockets were shot down by our armed forces of ukraine and yesterday there were damaged fragments of the rocket with combat parts, tell us a little about how they cope with these military challenges, the challenges of our time, e.e. rescue services of the state emergency service and er emergency repair services, is it possible to quickly and effectively restore the infrastructure and er, what is actually being done and what is postponed more for the times after the victory, because i want to say that the main task for us is that people in the new heating season have heating and that that the rockets

hit and re-hit the payer, these are the risks that 180,000 residents of kremenchug who are registered with this thermal power plant may be left without hot water and heating, and we are doing everything for this, i am sure that both the state and the local government, the regional government will be able to do everything so that the people who live here in kremenchuk have heating and hot water. but you see that the enemy, the russian federation, is still uh-huh, let's say it doesn't strike at military objects, but at civilian ones. there is no logic in mr. dmitriy, what is the current economic situation in the region and what challenges do you face because of the war ? well, you know that there is a fuel supply crisis all over the country. but after all, we are an agrarian

region and already almost 11 2 million hectares were sown that is, 85% of the area of ​​the region has been sown, everything is going according to plan and i am sure that everything will be fine in this field and we will have time to do everything by the end of may. every month, our situation worsens, we collect less taxes or and i want to say that such an optimistic picture will change, well, in general, there are many industries that work normally, but there are large, large enterprises that are really broken logistically chains of sales markets. they are looking for new ones in these new realities and there are really problems. now everyone is working on this issue

. is it possible to carry out usual deliveries to partners? and what happens to the things that are not sold ? it seems to me that the russian occupiers are waging a food war not only with ukraine, but with the whole world. and i want to say that we have the same problems, like the whole country, regarding the sale of grain corn, etc. therefore, now the issue is to be resolved, and you and i understand that in two or three months we will collect a new crop, and this is a big problem. mr. dmytro, tell us a little about the general atmosphere in poltava oblast. e of the latest missile attacks in u- after the latest missile strikes of e-e of russia from the

air , what is the condition of the people in general? today we have no outflow people who live and our immigrants, because you see that this morning there were strikes on lviv and other cities, so there is no missile security in any corner of our great country, and i want to say that there is really nowhere to run, we have to stay here and work everyone should do their job as best as possible and we call for the situation to be more or less controlled and people have confidence in this matter and remain working. as for the displaced people , we already have 200,000 officially registered, but it is very large

the number seems to me to be somewhere around 50,100,000 unregistered, that is, we provide help to everyone, we distribute food kits from the office of the president and the government, in general, we control the situation in this matter and are provided with everything necessary. is located and we are helping kharkiv oblast to fight against the enemy , because there is a military operation there, and here all the e-e headquarters work humanitarianly in this direction. i am very grateful to everyone, both the enterprises and the headquarters themselves charitable organizations because they all work as one mechanism well, i wanted to hear more about the work of volunteers so what do they mainly focus on and what by the way is

poltava oblast lacking now? tactical medicine and where we have in kharkiv, just in the region of luhansk region and donetsk region, all humanitarian organizations are focused on this issue, we personally help, and the government and all the other volunteers who are at the enterprise collect packages every day and take them to the so-called zero. as for food, we help them, we also help kharkiv and e. this work and it did not end, everyone works on this issue every day by holding a meeting, we gather needs

and organize these processes, it really needs a system and protection there in body armor and fairy tales, etc., we will talk about the organization of the work of terrodefense on poltava region knows this right now. by the way , the president has signed a law on giving fighters the opportunity to fight outside their regions, including on the first front lines. how are you here? where are the fighters from poltava region currently deployed and have they already visited in hot spots, well , in general, the poltava region of the poltava territorial defense brigade has its own strength of 16 battalions, they all perform one or another task, i cannot disclose this information, where

exactly it is and what it is performed in which territories, but in general, the work is controlled by us every day, meetings are held by the leadership of the brigade, and this work is organized, and the most important thing is that there is support for help from the leg region, our soldiers, not only the armed forces of ukraine, perform their tasks and there are no objections to them. we are very grateful - these are our heroes, we support them and we help with everything we can, and of course, mr. dmytro, i understand what is happening and the planned training is quite intense because we understand that the war may still continue. will end as they say in the ministry of defense that it can go into a protracted phase, it can last until the end of the year, yes, even though a breakthrough is expected in august and we

understand that there are forecasts, uh, intelligence about the fact that a coup d'état may occur in russia, so that putin is terminally ill, but we understand what we have to do and we need to prepare for the worst scenarios and be ready a little bit of training tro-authorization well first of all i want to congratulate on the first victory and our european it was yesterday at the eurovision everyone i think the whole country was watching and cheered for our patriotic song. i want to say that this inspires everyone. and as for the training, every day they really take place all over the territory of the region. people were not afraid of gunshots, gunshots and explosions because, well, we understand that even now there is thunder and lightning, it also scares people

, that is why this work is being carried out and everything is in order to conduct these trainings and that our fighters are ready and we are sure that our war will not end when russia will have something over there and when we ourselves can win our territory from the russian occupiers and build our best country in the world dmytro lenin, the head of the poltava campaign, was from thanks for your comments and for the detailed review of the situation in poltava oblast, in a moment we will have the next inclusion . information and it actually consists in the fact that from minute to minute we are waiting for the press conference of the wives

of the defenders of mariupol, the defenders of azovstali, and now the wives and mothers of our defenders have flown to istanbul to the leader of turkey, because according to our sources, they are going according to erdoğan's ip to thank the president for his efforts with the humanitarian mission to save the lives of the heroes of the mariupol defense and also want to appeal to him to double the efforts to save the lives of our heroes and unite them with the president we are in touch with you now, anton herashchenko, adviser to the minister of internal affairs of ukraine. greetings, mr. antony. i congratulate you. olga kerod, the wife of a soldier of the 23rd law of the maritime guard of the

state border service of ukraine, is also in touch with us. greetings, mrs. olga greetings, mrs. olga, let's start with you. i see that you are sitting on the plane, so i will give you the first floor. please tell me about the uh mission with which you are flying , a little about what is actually in the plans. and uh, i understand that your husband is actually a defender of mariupol fly to istanbul to apply to the turkish leader, tell us what you want to do. it is simply impossible for our defenders. at the moment, it remains to turn to the president of turkey so that he can influence

the president. everything will turn out that they have hearts, they are also people here, we hope to reach their hearts oh well, we believe in them as well as in our government, we believe that they will do everything possible and it is impossible for it to end. this madness is war, this is suffering, mrs. olga, tell me how many words you have about why you put your hopes in the efforts of the turkish leader, why in your opinion, despite the fact that he has repeatedly appealed to the president of the aggressor country, vladimir putin , with the initiative send a ship to save our military and also civilians. putin did not hear

ferdigans , why do you think that now? still has some influence and efforts with the leader of china, we just hope for it and hope for it so that together they can save because these leaders hear them , the whole world listens to them, the whole community and here there are no options and i know that everything will be fine everything will be

ukraine and our boys will come out, we believe in it mrs. olga, glory to the heroes olga kerod, wife of servicemen of the 23rd marine guard division of the state border service of ukraine, wife of the defender of mariupol, who is currently flying to istanbul together with other wives and mothers of our defenders of azov steel in order to appeal to the turkish leader and anton gerashchenko, i am asking for your comment. i think that instills in the hearts of the wives and mothers of the defenders of azov steel confidence in the turkish leader's ability to influence vladimir putin. a case from 2017, when redugan actually helped us. - release the leaders of the mejlis of the crimean tatar people. i apologize. it was in 2015 that akhtem or his za and ilmi umirova

president of china does not join these efforts. a chain in which it is difficult for putin to refuse because they have very tight relations, including the chinese, in fact, now putin’s only hope for some economic survival of russia after the sanctions issued against it. therefore, now the wives and border guards of the azov fighters and the marines left istanbul in order to, and even more to your opinion, begging and to mr. reprimand and still the price and i am sure that there is a chance if the czp cardigans unite together, then maybe putin will not be able to refuse it together and let our boys without laying down a weapon to leave the territory that they have chosen as heroes for 80 days and this feat will without a doubt enter the history textbooks of the axis for thousands of years to come, as it was with the defenders of the spartans, mr. anton, let's really hope for it, let's not leave hope for e that's it

that ukraine will be able to unblock mariupol by military means in the near future, soon after receiving heavy weapons from partners, that we will reach mariupol and liberate all our territories , including mariupol. well, tonight, russian troops launched a missile attack on a military infrastructure facility in the lviv region this is the shocking news of this night, which was preceded and conveyed by the national upsurge of ukrainians in connection with the victory at eurovision, which the band kalush, an orchestra for and its leader, dedicated to the defenders of azovstal to the defenders of mariupol having drawn the attention of the whole world to this, to the need to save our defenders, our heroes, and to that and to those crimes of the great army that they committed on the instructions of the russian military carried out on the instructions of the russian
