when the shelling of severodonetsk and lysychansk where ten people died today and the wife of the blocked names called on the leader of turkey and china to help save the people listen and see us tomorrow and we say goodbye goodbye to ukraine glory to ukraine this is a program verdict my name is serhiy rudenko good day and good health to all today is the 82nd day of the heroic ukrainian resistance to the russian occupation. in the morning of may 16, odesa was shelled by russian strategic aviation planes, and the russians launched a missile attack. in the mykolaiv region, the enemy continues to attack

the damaged and non-working bridge across the dniester liman, but unfortunately hits civilians. meanwhile, the defenders of kharkiv have reached the state border with the russian federation, the occupiers continue to attack azovstal and deploy troops in the occupied kherson region, the enemy is concentrating on the severodonetsk direction and is trying to take two the cities of severodonetsk and lysychansk, at the same time, the russian occupiers continue to lose lives and equipment, as of the morning of may 16, the russians have already lost personnel of 27,700 people tanks 1228 armored vehicles 2974 artillery systems 555 multiple rocket systems 195 anti-aircraft defenses 879 aircraft 200 helicopters 165

vehicles in 2101 units ships boats 13 drones 427 special equipment 42 units of cruise missiles 98 about the situation in eastern ukraine and the southern fronts the march of finland and sweden to nato, the stalemate for putin, we are talking today with major general of the sbu in the reserve, viktor yagun, general's glory to ukraine. thank you for finding time for studying in our program so, last saturday on the air of the russian propaganda show solovyov life, the russian ambassador to washington anatoly antonov said that this statement will not be the capitulation of moscow in ukraine, according to brigadier general ben hodges, who was the commander of the joint forces for a long time nato and the nato armed forces in europe, as he says

, antonov's statement means that russia is actually considering this scenario, it means surrender as a real possibility, which scenario do you prefer antonov or otjesa? it is clear that i am not interested in antonov's position at all, the situation is different, the situation in that operation appeared in their lexicon, you do not know such a word, they understand what it means, and this is good, it is good for us, but the bad thing is that, unfortunately , their leader does not know how to lose and he does not know what it is to lose and any loser, as a person who does not like publicity, he tries to translate into some kind of messages that

he understood and understood by the population, and that is why the situation actually ended up when putin is in a stalemate stalemate, well, stalemate, the situation is extremely difficult for them, they have this turn for them, i'm not saying that it's easier for us, but we'll see how it develops, as much as we talk about surrender, it's obvious that another alternative way can be this peace talks during the two and a half months of the war, the ukrainian leadership repeatedly talked about the fact that we can talk with russia, but we have our own conditions that we can clearly articulate in march, russia tried to impose its rules of the game and its the conditions for possible peace negotiations, these issues were very actively discussed in social

networks and in the russian press, as a result, they did not come to anything at all, or do you think there is still a window of opportunity for peace negotiations between ukraine and russia, and if so, on what terms these negotiations may be in order not to harm the interests of the ukrainian state, well , look every day, and about this, by the way, the minister of foreign affairs said that our demands are becoming more brutal, why because we simply after at the last stage of the meeting in istanbul, cardinal things happened that no one can forget, this is the recording of the crimes of the occupier in our suburbs of kyiv, these are things that are incompatible with the actions of the military on the battlefield, this is the interception of our special services, which

testify to their treatment of prisoners their plans in the occupied territories and all this gives reason to simply ignore any requests from their side for peace negotiations. the end of what is happening in ukraine and most likely everything will revolve around how to stop the fire and how they will leave our territory is another matter whether they will agree to leave the entire territory or they will start tell us about the independent lpr of the dpr, which they have to protect, the last information that our uh, the division of services and our partners have, this is about russia's efforts, in particular, it

can be announced at the uh, last meeting of the udc that these territories which are now under the control of the russian federation, well, the occupied territories of ukraine and other states. they take them under their care and include them in their sovereign territory . in this way, a nuclear nuclear umbrella is allegedly conventionally covered over them. i do not believe that we will stop. the desire to include crimea in russia , er, they er, did not stop us, we understand that crimea is occupied, and even more so, we should not stop before recapturing kherson, berdyansk , melitopol, mariupol, and all other cities, that's why i i think that this kind of rhetoric of theirs will definitely not pass

and this is exactly the red line about which we said that if they try to annex our territories that they bought after february 24, if they are another red line, if they demonstrate the destruction of our defenders in mariupol, then victory will not just happen and when they understand it , they stop there for a moment and look at our and how does it not change, so i think that there are certain things that they are very afraid to go to and it is critical for them to be able to leave this contact and after all, there is a beginning to agree on something, mr. general lev. yesterday, volodymyr zelenskyi said that the occupiers are at a dead end. he stated this during his daily address and that the russian military special operation has already gone bankrupt. let's listen to what

president zelenskyi said, we are preparing for new attempts by russia to advance in the donbass to intensify their movement in the south of ukraine, the occupiers still do not want to admit that they are at a dead end and that their so-called special operation has already gone bankrupt, but there will surely come a moment when the ukrainian people will press the invaders until they fully recognize reality so that they do not create in kherson, melitopol, if they do not portray their alleged power in the occupied areas of priaz and donbass, their stay there is still temporary yes, mr. general, but a week ago during yes the so-called parade on red square, we were waiting for some signals from vladimir putin, what he would say about the future war and the course of the future war,

it was expected that at this parade, putin would announce about mobilization about the war with ukraine, well, that is, will officially announce it according to your data, is russia ready for a general mobilization, as well as for the deployment of new forces to participate in the war with ukraine, definitely not ready definitely not ready for one simple reason that there is a lot to be said about that that they don't have weapons, er, uniforms, er, they don't really have commanders who could manage here the mass that can be collected, there are 100,000, 200,500,000 people and a million can be collected in russia because this is not such a huge problem for 140 million people in the country. there is nothing to clothe them with. there is nothing to feed them.

there is no place to place them and nothing to plant them on. for example, in the so-called horde they are already forming not motorized rifle but rifle divisions with real issues fairy tales similar to the second world war and arming themselves with moshinkas do not have their collaborators with weapons, which already in the fact that when putin came to power, they are with the society there, or they do not have a society with the population that is in russia, we signed such a contract that is not our own we close our eyes and do not prevent you from stealing, engaging in corruption, getting rich at our expense , building some palaces there, buying, as you do, leading a luxurious life, and in return, you do not touch us, you give

us stability, you know, what kind of salary do you give the opportunity to close the mortgage there once or twice times a year to go to the sea or to europe to drink beer and that's the end of it. themselves, but here they are forced to get off the sofa, take a weapon and go to do some incomprehensible things in a completely different country, all the support shown by the statistics actually ends. behind the door of their apartment, you can tell everything in the kitchen, well, not on the battlefield, and that's all understand very well, in connection with which the russian leadership also understands that no one

will go to ukraine to fight for them. and those combat-capable units that they threw at the unprepared ukrainian armed forces were already destroyed in february, march, april in ukraine, that is why the situation there is very serious, yes, it is true, no, it does not save anything because they have adopted tactics, now we are simply bombarded with quantity and poor quality, and we are forced we are forced whether we want to or not, we are forced to somehow react to all those uh, all those moments that are happening at the front eh and well, we have to defeat the other one that is not given to us we paint over and repaint all their influx and are forced to lose our people but they say once again we are not given another one friends we work simultaneously on several platforms we are on the air of espresso tv and also

on the espresso tv youtube channel on facebook for those who are currently watching us online on youtube and facebook please like this video also share this video on your social networks well, subscribe to our pages on social networks today we have a guest general- major of the sbu in the reserve, viktor yagun, we talk with him about the situation that is developing in ukraine on the eastern and southern fronts, and about another front for russia, which is opening in the north because it is one of the requirements at the beginning of the so-called special putin's military operation to ukraine was a demand not to join the north atlantic alliance, and for two and a half months, the situation with nato began to unfold in a bad way for russia, because

sweden and finland have already announced their intention to apply to the north atlantic alliance. why did the president of finland directly tell putin that no one would stop him from joining nato? well, mr. generals, i have the following question for you. helsinki, relatively speaking, to st. petersburg is a couple of minutes. this is much less than from kharkiv to moscow in the current situation . self-obligation to be a neutral state, and this is to settle completely with the soviet union, and later the russian federation, even during

the caribbean crisis, and finland did not join nato, although the situation was quite tense at the time. the world, too, was on the verge of the third world war wars that finland and sweden as nato members for russia mean for putin well, he can make a good change in a bad game because as the president of finland said he was surprised by putin's calm reaction in fact there is nothing there you know to get calmly after this adventure in ukraine 1 500 km border with nato directly with russia, this is it, it is clear that this is just a complete geopolitical failure in connection with what, uh, hmm , finland understands very clearly who it is dealing with, i don't know if anyone has read it on twitter

the message of their general, who, in response to threats from russia, said that we are waiting for you here, there are already 200,000 of your former compatriots in the 39th year who died in this stupid war and are buried several meters deep in our territory, well, in our land that's why we're definitely not afraid of anything. i understand that firstly and secondly, it's the day of submission, more precisely, it's not a submission, but an announcement about er, that it was not by chance that the jerk was chosen in finland. on may 15, 1918 , the first war of er finland with bolshevik russia took place and that's enough too a symbolic step on their part, that is, they took a decision that is very important to them and

is supported by the majority of the population of finland and these days sweden received security guarantees from the united states and great britain and nothing can stop them by the end of the summer, i think they will already be full members of the alliance, even in spite of certain e, will be changed, so these two countries will be 32 european countries, e-e led to the fact that even in switzerland, discussions began in switzerland, which i do not know how much is unrealistic discussions have begun on how much we can remain neutral in this changing world, and this all tells one thing about the complete failure of any strategic er things that russia was hoping for, and secondly, it will definitely not be able to use arguments that er nato is approaching their borders because it has already

approached, and it did not come from ukraine or from the east, but from exactly the side that they did not expect at all, and i hope that the withdrawal of certain forces to open the border is now already nato's border in the north to the west and certain certain moments are connected with the actual blockade of their fleet in the baltic sea because now in order for the military ships of their military ships to leave the state, i don't know what it should be because they will simply be covered from two sides and on that everything will end. in other words, this fleet will be conditional, so it is possible to sail a ship under kronstat to kaligrad and back, and it remains to be seen whether the criminal regime will remain under their control for a long time with

such actions of theirs, so in this direction it is very sad and i hope that it will really be the an argument that will help us join this alliance from that time on. by the way, the united states of america's temporary representative in ukraine, christina quinn, believes that ukraine has a chance to become a member of nato without a step-by-step action plan for membership like finland and sweden because it is not a mandatory part of the accession procedure, she noted that the pdc is a mechanism that allows a member state to meet the requirements for compatibility. if a state already meets all the requirements, the action plan for membership becomes unnecessary. well, after that, mr. general, how currently, ukraine has started updating the army, because a lot of questions about the future of ukraine in nato touched on the weapons that are in the ukrainian army , and after the lend-lease and also after western

weapons began to arrive in ukraine, the ukrainian army with combat experience is obviously not inferior to any army that and is one of the countries that are part of the north atlantic alliance, but there are still many questions regarding the internal development of the state, the special services, the court , democracy, how it develops ukrainian state, what do you think, is it possible to overcome all these disagreements concerning the formal matters of ukraine's accession to nato ? what is the name of the ukrainian victory? including what they say, uh, kristina, besides, they can overpower me, i think that we

can, we can expect uh, well, in this case, there are still a lot of factors, including our victory in this war and the exit to the state borders and the closure questions about er, there are some divisions on the part of the members of individual nato members and so on and so on. i think that this is precisely the moment that says that ukraine is not everything, not only can but it must be a member of nato, the only thing that really it is rightly said that there are moments that should not be forgotten, and these are precisely those moments that should very seriously help us in the future, and it does not concern the military mission of our armed forces, but these are the problems of the life of our society in the democratic community of countries that are part of nato

this is true, and this is the legislation regarding the work of the special services of their employees, every day, every moment, even in war, there is a miracle that moves, inspires and gives strength to believe in our victory, so we appreciate every moment miracles do not happen and you have to find happiness for yourself on the volunteer front. i am helping the ukrainian army on the international sports arena. good evening. we are from ukraine. strong in spirit, we are going to

defend our land. the essence of defending ukraine together with you the unconquered cities of ukraine are the unique mariupol sea resort, port and metallurgical capital, at the same time when muscovy deported 18 thousand greeks from the crimea, they settled in the azov region and named the town mariupol, during the two years of occupation, the nazis turned the city into a scorched desert and the very next after the day of liberation, the people of mariupol began to rebuild the city, what the

russian invaders are doing to mariupol today, even the nazis dreamed of a free land sanctified by blood will never surrender to an enemy who does not understand how to fight for the freedom of mariupol unconquered greetings to all, i am yuriy andruhovich and i do not know is it a mistake or a crime ukraine is now waging a brutal fight for its freedom and independence, all the more strangely criminal and there was no decision to remove it from the digital very worthy journalists work on these channels, tv5 and direct, because they are very worthy people. i respect many of them very much when ukrainians fight

for people, for territory, for a way for the future, for identity, for their values, for democracy an unacceptable thing happened, three television channels that were always oppositional and always showed the ukrainian view of the world were turned off. this is a video appeal in support of the espresso tv channel, which i love and respect . the view of turning off patriotic television channels during the war, well, it's actually very the last thing is nothing, they did it, that's another question, but it's another proof that our armed forces are good cope with their work and give a sense of safety, protection and reliability, and because of that some people in the offices of power begin to feel so carefree that they have time for

intrigues and i turn to mr. or mrs. under whom it depends. i really ask you not to do nonsense and return the digital broadcasting system of the tv channel espresso direct and the fifth - turn on these channels we want to see back the full information field the fifth espresso tv and direct because every combat unit that will be written on this fland to bring the victory of ukraine closer as soon as possible, let's not take any actions during the war that would cause destructiveness inside us. i want to express my support for the espresso channel and hm insists that this channel return the

usual information space of espresso." for two days he fought off a continuous assault , saved people, saved equipment and did not let the enemy into kharkiv and the luhansk region, our civilians should not suffer. this act brought him military honor. glory to the heroes, glory to ukraine

we live near the threshold of a new world, where is democracy well, that's how biden, how to provide for these things, in his inaugural speech, he said that we will fight against the shakocracy . you probably still haven't understood what is behind all this and china, er, you don't need to think that we will beat russia with the chinese or russia or china with russia no. it's the same mountains, the same eh, not the democrats uh, they will create the new world and that's what i saw that i'm a master where did your minister of defense and our minister of defense meet, this is for me, eh, the future of the world,

where we will defend democracy. are we all that we have ? thank you, thank you. hemantes paviliones was with us in the national telethon, the head of the foreign affairs committee of the sejm, prayers, well. we thank you for the huge political support that we just heard about. we thank the lithuanian artists who also supported us in an extremely powerful way at eurovision lithuanian artists were very moved by the way they sang the winning song
