news ukraine live from london on azov, the operation continues now dead ukrainian soldiers are being taken out for a dignified farewell missile attacks on central ukraine fierce battles in donbas and russian counteroffensive near kharkov winter group will allocate almost 20 billion to ukraine the european union is thinking how to save ukrainian grain we will discuss in a direct connection from brussels to azov steel the operation to remove the dead ukrainian defenders of mariupol is underway this was

one of the conditions of the defenders of the city to first save all civilians from the factory tunnels and bunkers next to the wounded and after them to take them out for a dignified farewell and burial with honors of the fallen soldiers, at least on the morning of may 20, the commanders remained at the plant and fighters of the azov regiment, the head of the press service of this unit, dmytro kozatsky, wrote a quote on his twitter: "thank you very much for sheltering azovstal, the place of my death and my life, and they warned me that i might lose contact with them . " the prisoners will be happy if he receives awards for them, further, i suggest listening to the statement of the regiment commander denys prokopenko glory to ukraine 86 days of mariupol defense, the higher military leadership gave an order to preserve life and health military personnel of the garrison and the cessation of the

defense of the city, despite the heavy fighting, we constantly emphasized the circular defense and the lack of supplies in the three most important languages ​​for us, namely, the civilian wounded and dead civilians were evacuated , the severely wounded received the necessary help and were evacuated with further exchange and delivery to the territory controlled by ukraine regarding the fallen heroes, the process continues and i hope that in the near future the relatives and the whole of ukraine will be able to bury their soldiers with honors. glory to ukraine on intense fighting continues in donbas under the bombardment of severodonetsk and lysychansk without exaggeration, president volodymyr zelenskyi called the situation there hell without exaggeration, the occupiers are trying to increase the pressure there hell, and this is no exaggeration, brutal, absolutely senseless , the bombing of severodonetsk there in just one

day, 12 dead, dozens of wounded - this there is not and can not be any military explanation for russia, this is a deliberate criminal attempt to kill as many ukrainians as possible on the 86th day of the war russia shelled central ukraine with missiles. and kharkiv oblast, this is how russian troops hit the railway in malyna, zhytomyr oblast. the regional military administration calculated that within three months of the war, zhytomyr oblast suffered losses in the amount of two and a half million hryvnias. for comparison, this year, this oblast planned to receive 3.5 million hryvnias of income and instead counts losses, but how is the international community ready to help ukraine to compensate for war losses? near luben, in addition , another one was added to the list of destroyed cultural objects in ukraine. russia

shelled the city palace of culture in lozova in kharkiv region restlessly and on the borders with sumy region and chernihiv region, this is all in addition to the battles for donbas , the state of events on the fronts of this war military expert oleg zhdanov, he is in touch with us. i congratulate you. please tell me what the further development of events on the fronts in ukraine in this war might be. the further development of events will most likely be an operational pause for you, which will decrease a little. the intensity of hostilities why because the parties are very tired and need regrouping whiskey pulling up reserves and that is why we expect that in the coming weeks, uh, at the front, we will observe mainly an oppositional war, i suggest listening to one more expert comment, as

the adviser from abroad spoke about the events in ukraine questions of the state department of the united states of america, derek chuven, in response to the question of our diplomatic columnist james landale , how to save the face of russia, which has sunk into he told ukraine this is unnecessary russia has already lost reading imagine russia has already suffered a strategic defeat by all standards russia today is weaker than four months ago the russian economy is devastated by sanctions and things will only get worse in the future russian armed forces are not the same as four months ago ukraine is now stronger and closer to the west and the nato bloc is now stronger than ever, we are now talking about the accession of finland to sweden, which we did not think about at the beginning of a year ago, so russia is weaker than the country putin has shown that he is ready to go to the big

risks and losses, there is only one thing left for us to consistently support ukraine and our partners in nato sports from experts that strategically russia has already lost it against ukraine, but still thanks to its numerical superiority thanks to its arsenal of weapons and thanks to the blockade of the seas it is able to scatter ukrainian forces to the extent that it is is a serious challenge now, well, now it is not such a serious challenge, first of all, we have narrowed the number of directions in which the russian federation is advancing, not by the efforts of our armed forces, and that's why there is no such a large dispersal of forces, uh, as for the sea, unfortunately, ukraine does not have a fleet today. therefore, this issue uh, it is

more necessary to solve it in an international context. in the south-east of ukraine and there, in principle, we are holding the defense, and as of today, in fact, we have already achieved parity between the armed forces of russia and the armed forces of ukraine, the offensive has actually been stopped in all directions . takes the first step towards the restoration of justice in the war next week the ukrainian court must pronounce a verdict on vadym shishimarin, a 21-year-old sergeant of the russian army, who admitted that he killed a 61-year-old unarmed man in the sumy oblast, it is essential for the ukrainian authorities to prove that it is not about separate war crimes and what is this the genocide of the ukrainian people russia denies everything more story

bbc correspondent james waterhouse from kyiv at the first war crimes trial in this conflict it is the turn of the defense 21-year-old russian soldier vadim shishimarin admitted that he shot a 61-year-old unarmed man. his lawyer claims that this should not be a war crime because he was following orders and feared for his life. the prosecution says that he could have simply scared a civilian instead of shooting him four times. i apologized once in court, i sincerely repent. at that moment, i was very nervous. after that, there will be new trials regarding war crimes, but president zelenskyi does not want to stop there, he again accused occupying forces in the genocide who are deliberately trying to kill as many ukrainians as possible, not least

in eastern donbass, now it is a priority of russia, moscow denies the genocide all the time, but donbass considers it its own, and there is the most fighting in cities such as severodonetsk, where those who remained to fight and those who have already can't eh the russians are advancing in the east at a slight pace ukrainians continue to defend themselves in the luhansk region their extraordinary resistance is explained by both determination and support for the measure the us just signed the largest package of 40 billion dollars of military, humanitarian and economic aid, the future security of america and its main strategic interests will depend on the results of this struggle, anyone who is concerned about the price of supporting the victory of ukraine should think about much greater costs if ukraine loses the

city of mariupol to ukraine, it is considered finally lost that almost 2,000 fighters are currently relying on fate that may include a trial for war crimes against russia more than 18 billion dollars decided to allocate to ukraine a country of the big seven is transfers and loans that still need to be collected and finally approved, but the strategic decision was made by the world leaders . this money must go to cover the expenses of ukraine for three months. in essence, this is financial assistance to the state budget due to the war . ukraine does not comply with taxes and suffers losses every day . in the amount of 600 million euros. thus, the european union implemented the support program approved in february in the amount of 1 billion 200

million euros. but at the same time in the european commission promised kyiv a new program of up to 9 billion euros, unprecedented for macro-finance, and presented the idea of ​​a separate platform for the reconstruction of ukraine. about the next program of macro-financial assistance and in general, here is this big european union plan for the reconstruction of ukraine, also macro-finance, which all the trenches of this program, they also go to the urgent needs of the budget, i.e. to of current finances to cover budget deficits, i

will remind you that this program was approved as an emergency just a few days before russia attacked ukraine. the percentage is such that ukraine could not borrow this money on its own, and so, in parallel with the last tranche of the previous program, the european commission is announcing a new one, let's listen to this support will help ukraine cope with its financial needs and of course there will be more help to ensure the country's work on a daily basis and rebuild it as soon as peace returns, we offer additional macro-financial assistance to ukraine in 2022 up to 9 billion in the form of loans and a new instrument called rebuild ukraine to finance the reconstruction and accompany ukraine on its european path

with grants and loans. therefore, the efforts of the european union are aimed at allowing ukraine to survive now during the war and help to recover after the war the proposal of the european commission envisages the creation of a special body that will manage a joint ukraine and the european union, which will border the post-war recovery, and one of the tools that will be at the disposal of this body will be a special program for the recovery of ukraine, through which money will be collected and sent for specific amounts. no one is talking now, but the idea in order to rebuild ukraine not just as it was before the war, but to do everything at a qualitatively new level according to the highest european standards, according to the president of the european commission the plan will also be tied to the reform, the fight against corruption, the rule of law, and should ensure not just the restoration of ukraine, but a green transition, an ethical, ecologically responsible

economy, and so on, this is the kind of support on the way to europe, as the spokeswoman of his commission, which you just heard , said zhanna help should be considered in the context of the european integration of ukraine. and how then to understand the statements of a number of european leaders that there will be no short path to the european union in ukraine , the chancellor said about this, for example, the day before germany's schultz macron previously said that this process could take a decade, which shows that politicians are appealing to their eurosceptic electorate. is this an objective reality? what is an objective reality as of now ? i am cystic on the way to the eu, you cannot cut corners, the accession process is a matter of several months or years, why does he say

that ? they did a lot for this, the german chancellor explains that it would be unfair to these countries. next, let's look at what macron said in this quote. ukraine, with its struggle and its courage, is already a member of our europe, our family, our union. he also said that if europe will not decide to lower the standards of membership , even if ukraine is quickly granted this candidate status , the accession process will take several years or maybe decades. that is, we are now talking about the standards of the european union, which will have to be changed change of the european court, at the same time, the realities that the european union has already faced already now countries often face situations when it is difficult for them to agree on a common position, there is also the issue of the

oil embargo, for example, which is currently blocked by hungary, the more participants, the more difficult it is to make decisions, because in the european union, decisions must be made unanimously, you remember yes. and this is an argument that also worries people in the european union. how to organize europe more broadly than just the european union in its current form, and on the one hand it may sound like something to someone and i will try to attract eyes, i will try to create some strictures, and on the other hand , europe geopolitically constantly changed, the european union has evolved, the union has evolved and now it seems that the leaders are beginning to look for a possible new way perhaps renewed and more effective organization of integration processes in europe, in which there will potentially be a place for ukraine as well, but they wanted to raise another

topic today in brussels, the council met again of the european union this time to discuss the food crisis that threatens the world due to russia's war against ukraine, what solutions does brussels offer, and what can be done to restore the export of ukrainian grain because the sea ports remain blocked or occupied by russia was the main question of the representatives of the governments of the eu countries who gathered today in brussels, under the chairmanship of borel, it is necessary to say directly that the european union is not so dependent on food supplies with ukraine. but in the case of a global food crisis, it a very large exporter of grain from ukraine will certainly touch on it, and for the european union, for example , organic grain is of great importance, and now the situation on the european grain markets, especially organic grain, is very

chaotic and this is how they assess the situation in the european union, let's listen to burel's show. the food market was under stress even before the war. but after russia's attack on ukraine, this crisis is becoming much worse, and today it puts a threat to the food security of millions of people in many parts of the world, russian troops are bombing ukrainian fields, not allowing grain to be sown, looting food stocks, blocking ports and thus increasing the prices of food and fertilizers, they have already soared to the sky in many parts of the world, but what to do with this problem, i was listening today i didn't hear a lot of press conference and answers, but really the main export took place through ukrainian ports, now in the european union they are working on the creation of new logistics chains, it is possible he throws up special humanitarian corridors for the export of food from ukraine, it is known that

germany is currently working on the creation of a kind of railway bridge that could be used to export grain from ukraine . thank you, bbc brussels correspondent hryhoriy zhigalov, news appeared during our broadcast that president volodymyr zelenskyi commented on the deportation operation in an interview on tv channels of the defenders of mariupol from azov he said that it is still ongoing and he cannot provide many details civilians were taken out medics were taken out they took out seriously wounded and wounded in the near future, not even a few days, the removal of everyone from azov steel will be completed , the president of ukraine said, he said that the guys received a signal that they have every right to leave and save his life. zelensky did not say exactly how many ukrainian fighters there were. he only clarified that

there were 400 border guards alone. the president also added that a lot of ukrainians died . pilots who tried to deliver products and ammunition to the defender of mariupol, to take out the dead earlier, the ministry of defense of the russian federation announced that it had taken out the catch of steel . in may, the cannes film festival takes place at its opening, the audience gave a standing ovation to volodymyr zelensky after his performance in one of the largest film markets in the world even before the film ukraine presents several tapes of its own production in the competition program of the documentary film mariupolis two of its director from lithuania

mantaravichius died in early april in mariupol it was the trailer of this tape for the russian delegations the way to the ukrainian red carpet was closed the only exception was made for the director kirill serebrenikov he distinguished himself in cannes with appeals to help to the families of russian soldiers who went to fight in ukraine and offer a bikut of russian culture, let's talk more about all this with our by my colleague yevgenia rudenko, we have a live scan with us yevgenia greetings good evening greetings so, how did russia's war against ukraine affect the representation of ukraine in cranes this year, first of all? of course, it can be seen from the ukrainian pavilion . the interest is just uh very special, practically

when i went there today, they asked me and told me that they only have time to accept people who constantly come and are interested in films and just come to express their support, also financially to provide support, they say that they even just sometimes bring money, they say, please, transfer it to the state cinema so that you continue to shoot movies, and about movies. as you already mentioned, in cannes, a special screening of the film mariupol-mariupolis-2, directed by the director who died in mariupol while filming it, and here he was brought by his girlfriend, who then brought these videos of his to lithuania, and they have already edited this film there, and she presents it here. the film tells about how mariupol is continuously bombarded. i watched it today. this just a transfer, we just move to mariupol and become so simple, and we who live in mariupol, who try to survive in shelters, who just go out for water or there is simply no water and thus risk our lives and do not even know if

he will return and these are very difficult films he it lasts about two, about two hours, and there are journalists i personally saw who simply could not stand it, they left because it is very difficult to perceive, but at the same time, everything that we read here in europe yes of course this is how we visualize it all problems and in this way it usually becomes closer to europeans, as it were, even closer due to visualization . other films of the festival are also presented, in particular , in the sex of special eyes, this is a competition program that is very important in cannes. the ukrainian director and this film about a ukrainian woman-warrior. she is a scout who was in captivity, how did she try to return to a peaceful life after being captured, and the ukrainian director himself, he shot this film before the war, and he says in an interview that he already understood that a full-scale

russian invasion of ukraine was absolutely inevitable, that's why he made this film with the idea that draw attention to ukraine and another film is presented and it's called a film panfir is about the return of a wage earner to his native bukovyna, that is, he is not connected to ukraine, but still he is attached, he is presented in the fortnightly director vulcani, and this is not a competitive program, but it is also very important for the film and very important him there so that yevgeny could be introduced there, i wonder how the kens reacted to kirill serennikov's statements and whether the girls reacted at all, i can say that they are walking on the embankment baskets talking about kirill-serennikov, i would have passed even more on the embankment kurzet about the fact that yesterday was vyshyvanka day and yesterday there were quite a lot of embroidered people as for himself, of course , he talks more about his film. i saw it too. this film is called tchaikovsky's woman. it tells about hm, the suffering of tchaikovsky's woman because of the fact that

he is a homosexual he tried to hide er or let's say to cover his reputation which then if it was very nice to show that you are a homosexual then he tried to hide this reputation with this marriage and also to get a staff from this woman and that is all these sufferings of this women, but as a result, they go on the verge of madness for everyone, again it was difficult but very nice to shoot and the lighting was set perfectly, the main actress played beautifully and again, i made statements in silver when i watched it at the press conference he says he is against the war, but at the same time he calls for the sanctions to be lifted from abramovich's novel because he finances his films, that's why. well, these are the attitudes. but again, i will say that his film was discussed in cannes, he is in the competition program, the main competition programs he can claim the golden palm branch and he is

discussed mainly at this moment. what happened was that they presented a film by a polish director. by the way, in the main competition program there are already some films by kirill srebynnikov, the film is called eo. and again this is happening in poland but it is in wroclaw and today there was a press conference about this film and the main actress, by the way, she was wearing blue-blue-yellow glasses here blue and yellow and she she especially emphasized that there is a problem, of course , with nature, that is climate change and so on, which was raised in the film in the film, but now we have problems before the war and very much, and she urged to support ukraine yevgenia in general, does it feel like the program is competitive out

of competition for this year's film festival in cannes this is the theme of the war, that is, how the events in europe affect the selection of films, and what is said on the panels at the discussions, of course, the country is constantly mentioned even in films that predate the war and are not related on the one hand, but on the other hand. by the way, regarding the speech of our president zelensky, eh, and the lukan people, yes, that is, on the one hand, everyone very much welcomed his speech and ukrainians were very happy, and many were happy because of it eh a fairy tale with which the festival presents itself as a non-political film festival, and therefore it was very special that from this point of view, but from another point of view, after this performance, there was a flurry of criticism towards the organizer of the festival, because now it even happens not only in ukraine, but also in other countries, in particular, a film about the war in south sudan was presented, that is, on the one hand, everyone

is very supportive of ukraine and tries to draw attention to it and urges . the fact that the war still happens in many other countries of the world yevheniya thank you very much, thank you, we will cheer for those ukrainian films that participate in the fabric competition and that's all the news for today more search for stories on our website bbc.ua and on our pages in social networks, when your task is to lead the country to victory, this is the cause of my life, you do everything in
