the bus will not be left on the other hand, the bus burned down completely with me, there were uh, two colleagues, also from our raisin boys, hooked me in the arm and hooked another boy, the one who was covering the uh women. he was just taking the last two people from the bus and put them on the ground and covered himself from above already after leaving captivity, these fighters also helped to evacuate the civilians of severodonetsk lysychansk and lyman under shelling, civilians came to izyumsk on the sly, some of them had never held weapons in their hands, now he says combat is different people, they have gained experience for both , there are constant shootings and training, there are various weapons available, from several mosin rifles of the 33rd year to modern small arms and anti-tank weapons from western partners. but we need more

anti -tank weapons. sleeping although they do not complain under the shelling in izyum, the fighters ate what they had to, they were supported then, and volunteers from other cities now say that they are not starving at all, for example, the other day they received sausages from germany from oleksandr ludvig berga, now the supply is constant constant, the guys are not starving and of course, thank you very much, they just fill us with food, they will fill us with food , so if possible, thank you very much, angels from heaven , really, the fighters are convinced that they will liberate their native city, but then what to do with the collaborators who help the russian troops, i wanted to convey this to the people that we will definitely return and they will

pay you according to the law for their actions for their actions, and do you have information about who is currently cooperating with the russians in izyum, of course we are members of the regime, we know everything and therefore, i want to send them a big greeting and that we will come for them very soon, the russian troops do not stop shelling, the izyum direction remains one of the hottest, and there are no doubts about the victory of the ukrainian army. this was a report from the kharkiv region, serhii horbatenko . of yesterday's airstrike on the village of desna in chernihiv region, 11 people were killed and 14 were injured. earlier it was reported that eight people were killed and 12 wounded. the village of desna is located close to the border of kyiv region. the day before, a russian

missile was fired at it. well, tonight, russian troops again shelled sumy oblast from the grad rocket launcher system, in particular, the village of dmitrivka of the okhtyr district, there were no casualties, but a private house of civilians was hit, in general, the border guards of sumy oblast counted about a dozen shots. well, the day before russian missiles hit civilian objects. there were no casualties in okhtyrka itself, but according to official information, five people were injured. how the city recovers from shelling for radio svoboda local residents said at 4:30 a.m. on may 17, an airstrike was carried out on the territory of the actress's city, as a result of which objects that were in no way connected with the military infrastructure were damaged. well, four. we counted exactly where the explosions were, one of them flew into the territory of this yes, there are children's educational institutions

here, residential buildings, a residential sector, which was also damaged by the blast wave, literally poland, as the building that received this wave was blown away, there is nothing left. well, not a single door or window there is no funnel here - this is where the bomb bounced off the projectile, the law enforcement officers have already bought it, i.e. removed it there completely, everything was in pieces, fragments of yesterday, they organized our utility company, they taught not only the workers, but also the caring citizens. yes, they came to help. the school was damaged . honestly, i got used to it during this time, i got used to everything at the beginning, my head hurt every day, but now the main thing is that we are alive, and this is the most important thing, everything is profitable, we will do everything, we will even be even better than it was, oh-oh-oh

that's right, we love our work very much, we love our children, and today there were simply no words. when we went in and saw all this, you just don't know. you wouldn't wish it on anyone , anyway, we'll rebuild everything, we'll do it better , much better, victory will definitely be ours and it will definitely be in the near future. this is not even being discussed. well, the latest news just became known that president volodymyr zelenskyy proposes to extend the period of martial law and general mobilization for 90 days, contact us ivan stupak, ukrainian military expert institute of the future, we are your greetings. congratulations , the studio looks like the war is really long. there is a proposal from the president the day before. i will remind you that the minister

of defense oleksiy reznikov stated that the war is entering such a protracted phase . in simple words, what should we prepare for and how long is it? well, morally , they are preparing to wait for me, that's all , let's give it already in july, in august, everything is already there, there are potatoes, there are already uh, gardens, ah, that is, there will be no quick results, that is, it would be better if it were like this a negative scenario, but i predict that it will still have a positive ending, that is, no , not for years. there is an inner conviction, it is based there on my certain experience and also mainly on what i see as the equipment goes to ukraine, which

equipment goes to ukraine, and it is not simple, the equipment is there, there are two 12 guns, there are 100,000 cartridges, no, no, i see what is going in the complex if they go, that means the tools also go with them for input and targeting and is staffed by specialists, that is, our specialists have already been trained not only in military data, but this is an american thing, let's study it with a dictionary , what is written here and shoot . use this technique, i see what a threat this technique poses to the russians, and they are already doing everything to find, for example, these howitzers that you now have in the frame, they are sending their drones far away ukrainian submarines are trying to bomb them, direct their missile attacks on them, they are the same, nothing works, i see that this one is getting a lot of

money, although the effect of the lend-lease law will be in effect for two years. when i heard that, it is possible, you know. i am a human being not a military one, but i thought, well , if it’s two years, then it’s obvious. maybe in the west they see that the war will last there in some form for 2 years, about how i understood the question, look, i want you and the audience not to be afraid of me during this period, i want you to understand the land -liz is when they say well, they give us equipment there, it’s not that a garage is opened there, the equipment is pumped out there, the equipment is pumped out there, some rockets have been tested there, some uh, jet systems - this is also about production, that is, in america - it does not lie. it is the americans, if they produce such a quantity of equipment there, and they will include their production specifically for ukraine, and it is not only equipment , they also note that it is also machine tools, there are also certain

spare parts here to be sent to certain types military equipment, which, in turn, must be manufactured or handed over to us for certain production lines or spare parts or some kind of military equipment or ammunition, that is, it takes time for this to happen. what is in the warehouses of the americans over there at our european friends, they give us, they say so, look at we are there, the conditions are there, 40 tanks , we can give you 20 in the summer for them there, 12,000 rounds are taken there, so another country can give something else for two years, it’s just smooth for them, they have planned for themselves that they will work for two years even when the war ends in us, they will continue to manufacture their equipment in order to replenish their reserves that they have already created for ukraine, and according to your observations and what you analyze, you see the current state of the russian army, how prepared, equipped, motivated and how responsive it is

we will not throw hats at the tasks that are before her now and say that they have already lost to the russians, that their morale has already fallen , so it has fallen, but uh, we see that resistance what are they doing? we see that they are sending people there from the far east. they are sending replenishment. there is a replenishment of equipment. how do we see that there is the urals? 90 to ukraine, yes, they have something to send there, there is a certain resource there, but look at those tanks that they escorted from the pump to ukraine. i personally counted a dozen , that is, a dozen tanks, and our military has the experience of burning at least one or two of these

of tanks, there were reports from the ukrainian military , that is, this is not news of our military. yes, there is an opportunity for them to throw manpower, it is uh, but here is the question of their staffing, there are forms, which processing machine guns are interred without problems from this good russians in bulk, but these machine guns let ’s let's tell the truth, they are from the 70s, from the 70s, er, production, that is, a lot, almost 50, well, 40-50 years . moral component, how can you not be cool, even if they have more equipment , more military, more ukraine is fighting not with numbers, but with skills, that is, we do not have such a number of people that we can simply throw them on tanks, and this is not our method, we do not work like that at all. this is just what the russians hear, and this is our let me ask you about mariupol.

today we started the program with this, we talked about the exchange, but from a military point of view, let's imagine that there will be no more ukrainian e-e fighters left in azovstal, how can events develop further or could this mean that in this way the ukrainian army will somehow be able to launch a counteroffensive in mariupol, of course, look, i want to once again pay tribute to this, a lot has been said about it, and if i want to say really, our military did it simply above the sky, probably above their capabilities when they are so many for so many months, they just held this object, and they tried a very large number of russians, allowing them to simply move forward, so there were putin's statements that he that we are preserving everything here, the fly will not fly, uh, i leave it in глубоко в тылу er-er этот объек идеом дальше that's how

they couldn't go for it, it went anyway, they decided to clear this object, they continued the bombardment because from a military point of view, leaving in the rear an extremely large amount of education of our soldiers who constantly did signs this was unacceptable for them in general regarding the issue. uh, you have the whole city of these civilians. well, all that is left of him is in the orbit of the ldn, well, especially the dpr, since this posturing is there, well , relatively speaking, the main one of these two pseudo-republics , they constantly drag him along as a clown . i

tried to say some very clever things there, but it didn't work, that is, you will include zaporizhzhia and kherson in the sphere of influence. in addition, they will also try to include somewhere in the zone of influence of the dnr. pushylin there he issued a pseudo-decree and about cooperation uh-uh there is not recognized by this republic with non-residents not pictures uh-uh it means kherson kherson oblast zaporizhzhia oblast so that equipment and any property on the territory of these khmelnytskyi republics could be dragged there with equipment and then delaying it to russia was caused by the fact that the russians simply cannot allow it to be stolen like this, if they did not position it, they need to put up something, at least some papers, because their cargo will be seized there and there

will be very, very big problems with the accommodation of these cargo around the world is meant primarily this grain that they steal from us in these regions, there is other equipment, that's why such a story was published that i think the residents of kharkiv kharkiv kherson zaporizhzhia will sell something ordlo arno will then sell in it's as if they are legally supporting russia in something. well, well, returning to mariupol, mariupol too. i think they will include it in the same sphere of interests, they will try to join it to the dpr, to say that our iskonnerov lands are from komarus i am not sure. well, there is no such resource, uh, neither in the dpr nor in russia, they ca n’t afford it, although as a show off, as the russians love it, they can hang banners there, repair some central street, drive people out, that’s what i want to say. we

have repeatedly heard from representatives of the ukrainian authorities that ukraine does not want to return the occupied territories by military means, in particular to crimea, because it involves the death of people, including civilians, and it is important for us, he said president volodymyr zelenskyi so that people don't die, and will it be possible to return mariupol if , according to various data, about 100,000 civilians remain there? i think there are possibilities. the possibility of simply entering the dnr of this republic without large losses from the civilian military there was no possibility, now there is a full-scale war, a full-scale war , no matter how the russians call it pseudo

special operations or something else, and there is a war, we see that our people are acting against them. they are not giving it to the russians, they are hiding, they are not going to these rallies, they are even trying not to take this lip service, well, as much as possible, i understand that the people there are cold and there is no water and there is no heat , but still if there is an opportunity, they do not take this help, and it is indicated that it is possible to liberate these cities, that is, people for us, there are opportunities . i know that our military is working on how to liberate this city. well, this is a city and other cities without civilian casualties and er military it is not meant to minimize these possible losses there by cutting the communication of the enemy for the enemy - it is very painful when there is a possibility of consideration of the question that he will take the ring , it will try in every way to bend from this end and thus there is a possibility that they are simply

filled from mariupol if they feel that the gate will close behind them, thank you very much for your comment ivan stupak military expert of the ukrainian institute of the future recently the security service of ukraine published a fragment in the intercepted conversation between a russian soldier and his wife, the woman complained to her husband about the ukrainian children who ended up in russia and refused to celebrate may 9. the woman described in detail how she would punish the ukrainian children if she had the chance, so the journalists of the scheme program established the identity of this woman and the husband of the russian serviceman listen, in russia, children are taught from an early age to war, patriotic lessons, actions, parades, a detachment of the naval fleet

russia has gained in recent months and encourages the european union to refuse its energy services, here they approved a plan according to which will reduce energy dependence on russia by 2027, i really want to completely break these ties , and according to the calculations of the european commission, for this, energy consumption will have to be reduced by 13%. and also to mobilize 300 billion euro investments, part of the funds of 10 billion will go to the construction of the necessary infrastructure, such as terminals for the reception of liquefied natural gas, it is planned to purchase it jointly in order to avoid competition, such an approach was already practiced by the eu, for example, at the height of the pandemic, centrally buying vaccines, the rest of the money will be spent on the transition to clean energy instead of russian gas and oil. europe will be warmed by the sun until 202. all public and commercial buildings want to be equipped with solar panels and new residential buildings by 2029. as we can see, putin's war is strongly

undermining the global energy market, on the one hand, this shows how much we are dependent on fossil fuels, and on the other hand, how vulnerable we are by relying on russia, we must end our dependence on russian fossil fuels as soon as possible. i am deeply convinced that we will be able to buy joint the eu wants to increase weapons and military equipment and spending on this in the coming years by 200 billion euros, they plan to help ukraine with nine billion, and this is an unprecedented amount of macrofinance, as kyiv will receive in addition to the short-term councils that have already been approved, the eu feels responsible for the post-war recovery of ukraine but he noted that the reconstruction should be combined with reforms. brussels is ready to invest and unite donors around it, but in exchange for this will demand the fight against corruption, the rule of law and the independence of judges from this

let me remind you that the eu expected ukraine to go to war, and this is exactly what the leadership of the bloc believes will make the country affected by russian aggression closer to the european union and closer to the accession that ukraine is counting on. there was another news also from brussels, the european commission proposed to create a new mechanism called rebuilding ukraine as the main tool for supporting the recovery of ukraine after the war, this is discussed at this is reported by the press service of the european commission . and here i will quote what it says. so , the commission noted that currently russian aggression continues and the general needs for the recovery of ukraine are still unknown to the end, but it is important to develop the main components of international efforts for the post-war recovery of ukraine. the european commission informs that these efforts should be led

by the ukrainian authorities in close cooperation with the european union and other key partners such as the eu countries of jessevan and the eu countries of the twenties and also third countries, as well as international financial institutions, international organizations, and it is noted that the partnership of ukraine and the european union in this direction will enrich and speed up reconstruction after the war, and one more piece of news that we have been following for almost the entire last week, it concerned the accession of finland and sweden to nato, so turkey blocked nato's initial decision to process the applications of finland and sweden to join the alliance, although jenston bergensek of nato said that the joining of these countries to of the alliance will be very fast and that's how finanshall-time reports with reference to its sources, the ambassadors of the nato countries met today with the aim of starting negotiations on the accession of

finland and sweden to nato, but the opposition, the opposition of ankara, i.e. turkey, stopped any voting and this this conflict gives rise to doubts that it will be able to very quickly approve the first stage of the applications of finland and sweden within hmm within one or two weeks, as weeks, as yenstonberg also predicted earlier, what is turkey's claim turkey reports that many turkish opposition politicians have just found refuge in countries from scandinavia, in turkey they are called terrorists, this infuriates the turkish government. well, that is why they are still protesting against the accession of finland and sweden to nato. we will also follow this topic, i urge you to subscribe to the radio pages freedom on the internet in social networks and on youtube, two channels radio freedom and radio freedom ukraine freedom life will return to the air tomorrow

almost 7 p.m. on the clock in the studio of iryna koval and news time on the espresso tv channel today in ukraine memorial day of the victims of the genocide of the crimean tatar people at 3 o'clock on may 18, 1944, the communist authorities began an operation to deport crimean tatars from the crimean peninsula, people were forcibly resettled to remote regions of the soviet union from the northern peredural to central asia. it was allowed to take with you personal belongings and most of them
