antibiotics, without painkillers with very serious injuries, they just endure the pain. well, that's why the situation is burning, well, everything is on fire, everything is critical, there's nowhere else to go. and in the breaks between the battles, the defenders of mariupol on the azov steel are distracted for a rare moment of silence by reading books and playing chess and it's all in semi-darkness, because only small lamps illuminate the shelter, meanwhile, the russian military continues to storm the plant, attack it on the ground every day and fire rockets from the sky, and the czechs, together with the ukrainians, held an action in support of the defenders of mariupol in prague. people temporarily living in the czech republic and local citizens called for the release of the ukrainian military from the azovstal plant surrounded by russians

occupiers' equipment, and therefore gives an advantage to our defenders during artillery duels. the embassy of the united states said that the howitzers are part of the latest package of aid to the armed forces of ukraine in the amount of 800 million dollars. it is ongoing. the 81st day of the heroic resistance of the ukrainian people to the russian military invasion, the enemy seeks to establish complete control over the territory of donetsk luhansk of the kherson regions and to maintain the land corridor with the temporarily occupied crimea , the general staff reports that in the donetsk direction, the rashists concentrated their main efforts on the liman, north donetsk, bakhmut, avdiiv and kurakhiv directions, the occupiers suffered significant losses in manpower and equipment, so in the kharkiv direction, the enemy concentrated their main efforts on holding the occupied positions in order to to prevent

the ukrainian military from advancing to the state border, the enemy uses units that were formed during mobilization for a temporary in the occupied territories and about the losses of the enemy - 200 occupiers in the last day, and at the beginning of the full-scale invasion on ukrainian land , 27,400 russian soldiers were killed, they report to the general staff of the armed forces of ukraine that the occupiers are losing the technical school, this is 1,2220 tanks, the russians are also cheap, almost 3,000 armored fighting vehicles and more than 2,000 cars are not possible to control the enemy and the sky in 81 days, our military landed 200 planes and 164 helicopters and disabled 555 art systems. and almost 200 volley fire systems the data are not final, the general staff announces that the calculation

is complicated by the activity of hostilities yesterday in chernivtsi, today already in lviv, in the heart of the city, the national opera presented a charity art project, the fight for ukraine, these are cycles of folk songs that became symbols of infamy and victory, what kind of creativity did ours see during the war ulyana hryschuk, this is how the performance of the national presidential orchestra and the ensemble of the ivano-frankivsk theater named after franko began on the lviv stage. at the beginning of the war, we united to support the counteroffensive of the ukrainian army against the russian invaders on the cultural front , the director of the project, rostyslav derzypilskyi, shares with us, we are here in the rear guarding the rear for our soldiers, then there on the front line, defending us , the theme is, first of all, to maintain the spirit of a strong

fighting spirit and those who are here in rear and temporary resettled e-e persons and of course work for the spirit for the faith project bize ukraine contains three blocks - this is academic music songs dedicated to taras shevchenko songs of the soldiers of the upa and in particular, in the second part about kobzar, theater and film actress irma vitovska and people's artists of ukraine, the telniuk sisters, take part in sichovy striltsiv. we woke up, our shackles fell off. as well as the songs i must be silent , singers halyna and lesya tyniuk emphasize that they feel a double responsibility for performing in front of an audience of immigrants, because most of them have never heard anything like this. of course, there is

responsibility and there is a second meeting with them because we tried to take all our programs to the east , even people said such discoveries that some such strong spirit is discovered in them and we say we will endure we will be able to endure we will return to our lands and the more people will know and to hear and get to know these songs, everyone will take something for themselves, young and old, and they will discover for themselves the world in which they lived but which they did not know. the funds collected from the tickets sold will be donated to support the armed forces of ukraine. sometimes the tour of the bizet ukraine project continues in the cities of our country, the next relay will be accepted by the ivano-frankivsk national guard, the national guardsmen congratulated the

talk about as of this moment. i will remind you that it is now 19:16:15 may and there are certain successes in the armed forces of ukraine, well, it is clear that there is in the kharkiv direction but it would be good to detail the whole story and we have such an opportunity maria cup fighter of the freedom legion kharkiv region maria congratulates you glory to ukraine glory to the heroes congratulations to the studio congratulations to the audience what's up information that people are slowly returning to the regional center, yes to kharkiv, and the city is even preparing to launch a metro, many settlements in the region meanwhile continue to suffer from the artillery shelling of the occupiers, our armed forces are pushing them to the border, and brutal battles continue in the strategically important izyum direction well, tell me a little more in detail, in particular , about kharkiv and kharkiv oblast, well, actually, we

also know that kharkiv is gradually being freed from the influx of occupiers, but we are a volunteer the carpathian sich battalion is just holding positions in the izyum direction and it is about this direction. we can talk with you the most and we can say unequivocally that the situation is changing very much in the last recent days the situation is changing very noticeably and we can see that the forces of the enemy are growing every day, we see that the ukrainian armed forces are becoming stronger once again, and we have very clearly for the last few days felt behind us the promised long-range long- range weapons that we are very highly expected and which is now helping us very, very well, in fact, the fighting is not going on as usual, it is so

quick and easy there if we wanted to, but hmm, over the last few days, we can already clearly say that a strategic turning point is taking place in the battles . unfortunately, in the last two days, we have a wounded fighter from the carpathian sich, hmm, he is already in italy, everything is fine with him, he has been given help, but since the gods are quite so fierce, well, such situations sometimes they happen, but for example, today, for several hours, there was active shelling of the positions held by our battalion in carpathian sich, and now the situation has calmed down a little . in the last few minutes, 30, the situation has calmed down a little and our positions are reliably held by the enemy - he definitely won't be able to get

ahead, anya, by one meter. well, i immediately want to notice how different you sound now , i see optimism, i hear it in your words, and it can't help but make me happy, but maria, here you are noted that the enemy feels, well, at least not as comfortable in the izyum direction as it was possible recently, but literally, on may 12, the institute for the study of war, the american analytical center, in particular, assumed that due to failures with the offensive, the command of the russian army may abandon the declared attempt to surround the ukrainian troops along the line of izyum slovyansk and debaltseve and transfer the remaining forces, in particular to the east, we are talking about severodonetsk eh, have you noticed any such trends if it is in your field of vision i am absolutely convinced that it is not possible for them to surround ukrainian positions. i think that there is already

a question of surrounding their positions with ukrainian troops, and this has been very clearly felt in the last few days . we understand that soon it is obvious that even the forces of the enemy may find themselves in such a kind of half and half cauldron and they will have to regroup very quickly and leave. although of course they still have great powers, they do great things attempts, but our strength is growing every time and i am convinced that we will succeed in everything, it is called give me a fishing rod and i will catch a fish myself, i hope that these fishing rods will appear soon for all our defenders , as it were, from our partners, in particular ah, mrs. maria, we understand that if the situation eases, well, it will be much easier in kharkiv oblast, in particular in the izyum

direction. it may become a little easier for luhansk oblast, nevertheless, the regional military administration notes that both humanitarian and military there are not nearly the hottest, please, tell me, maybe you see how, in particular, a military person, as a person connected with military affairs, is a little wider than what is happening, in particular, in the izyum direction, of course, the situation at all lines of demarcation, where the battles take place, will depend and primarily from what is happening in the kharkiv region and in the izyum direction, and the more losses and work to bear here, the less strength he will be able to concentrate. in other directions, of course, we understand that they will use e-e except for plan a, which is already the bei plan failed, which has already failed. this plan also failed, and it is still possible that there are other plans, which are smaller and less ambitious, but they will

try to use them. however, it is clear that the enemy's forces are still very large, but the situation is a turning point and you can say that if it is just not matched, then it will happen very quickly, yes, but maria, you said that you assume the creation of such conditions under which it will be possible to encircle the enemy , and you know, i asked military experts whether it is possible or possible to try to create symmetrical to the azovstal situation, where in fact we will be able to offer an option dear, here are yours practically in the cauldron and here are ours in azovstal please tell me if we can talk about the possibility well, somehow apply such a mechanism if our armed forces manage to surround the enemy at least somewhere, is it even appropriate to talk about it because we

are civilians, you know, we just think about options that could theoretically work, but we understand that war has its own rules, in this war it is absolutely impossible to predict anything but it is definitely necessary to strive for it, everything will depend on how much and how quickly we will have from the current long-range weapons. so when we will be as secure as this situation can become, i thank you for this inclusion. and i believe that as many gifts as possible were coming for our military and uh, so that the break-in that you are talking about now with optimism will really happen as soon as possible. maria cup, a fighter of the kharkiv region freedom legion, the raisin direction, be in touch with us, uh, what is uh, i i think that now it will be worth showing the situation that

concerns such a roll call, as for me, let me remind you that yesterday ukraine, among other things, became the winner of the eurovision song contest, and we must pay tribute to our contestants, boys and boys from the kalush orchestra, who decided to leave without risking, let's say, even being disqualified to take a risky step and call to pay attention to mariupol and azovstal, in the end it seems to me that the world has changed its attitude to such things and called it more of a humanitarian action and not political, but what needs to be said, and i want to note that the google search trends changed drastically, strongly, strongly, yesterday evening after people heard the word azovstal

. our military, our defenders , representatives of the mariupol garrison, know about what kalush orchestra did and have already responded, let's see it, stefania, mom, mom , stepania, the field is blooming and she's gray, sing to me lullaby mom, i want to hear your native language again. it is very polite. i don't even know if i should comment on it. i just want this dialogue to continue, but already face to face, so that the representatives of the mariupol garrison can

meet all of us. all of ukraine is waiting for them. and i just want to add that we are really doing everything possible in order to, well, at least at our level, make the necessary informational wave, because it is an interesting and difficult situation in zaporizhzhia , in particular in connection with the fact that quite a significant part of this region now that the occupation is going on, it periodically flies to the regional center of the center, so to speak, and that is zaporizhzhia, the city remains a strong point, and for those who travel from mariupol, it is evacuated and for our defenders who are wounded, for example, especially in the east of our country now for civilians who can always apply for both humanitarian and medical aid in zaporizhzhia - it is really very important and how the situation is now there, we will ask

serhii lishenka, a deputy of the zaporizhia regional council, a lawyer serhiy, a volunteer, welcomes you, congratulations, tell me a little more about the current state of affairs in the region, again i will emphasize ah, we understand roughly what is happening in the territory controlled by ukraine, we have access to this information. perhaps you know at least something that concerns the lives of residents and residents of those settlements that are currently under occupation. please tell me about the situation of the documents, and a few days ago there was information that they started building fortifications on the territory of the melitopol district. adjacent to the front line is this, let's say, inside the zaporizhzhia region for the occupation troops, and under melitopol, they directly began to build an accounting system along the rivers, what is this

connected with, it is unknown, they involve local farmers' equipment, etc., that is, additional lines are being prepared the defenders may understand that they will have to retreat and that is good , but unfortunately this means that the battles for zaporozhye will be even more difficult than expected before this, and can it be said that they are giving up offensive actions in zaporizhzhia, in particular, if they are building fortifications and, as i understood from your words, they are preparing more for defense because zaporizhzhia is active in offensive actions compared to other regions. the line of defense was formed. here at this very turn, plus or minus there, 5-10 km in one direction or another, it remains to this day under

shelling. 50 km from zaporizhzhia, ah, and right under the walnut tree. this was the first line, that is, they captured the ridge between the ridge and the walnut tree. skirmishes with our military began, and that is how they remained more or less. that is, the front line fluctuates there, but it is not significant, not true. as in other territories, where they can add 10-15-20 km per day, our situation is stable at night, whether it is good or bad , i don’t even know, on the one hand, it is good that they are advancing on the other, it is bad, until we recapture the nut area, and in gulyaipol, accordingly , it gets from mr. serhiu chi was shelled daily i manage somehow, i don't know how to teleport if you want humanitarian aid for the residents
