how beautiful they are. and he had good health. and what is it that you are looking after? now the rabbits have started running around. well, how are you? the kid is young, they are used to it. maybe who knows him? well, it’s normal, yes, no , you can keep a bone with us. he’s still there, too, and they keep goats. with the cows, the people all came out, the cows are gone, you don’t have them, you have to fall, and there are shells all around, who knows? well, in the field, is it possible to walk there or not? they didn’t even sow anything, not even nothing, neither wheat nor corn . and people from the city

they also come, they open their gardens here, they dig up the vineyards, they plant, well , they are afraid, they run to the garden after him, 52% of ukrainians consider any territorial concessions unacceptable for the sake of ending the war, and only 10% are willing to give up some territories in order to establish peace, these are the results of the survey of the kyiv international institute of sociology, which was conducted in may, it follows from the survey that in absolutely all regions of ukraine, the majority of the population is against any territorial concessions and even in the east of tribute active hostilities continue 68% of residents are against concessions contact us oleksandr musienko , head of the center for military and legal studies, my greetings to you i congratulate you oleksandr, what from your point of view is currently happening in donbas, but president zelensky said the day before that the ratio

of forces there is one to 20 in favor of the russian army in terms of the number of military equipment. if this is the ratio, what are the chances that ukraine will go on a counteroffensive there and liberate the occupied territories? in order to go into a counteroffensive, it is necessary now to repel all attacks and to solve, you know, one by one, those issues that are indeed very rightly pointed out, and this is the fact that the president, which is indeed the case, and a large amount of equipment that has been thrown by the russian military, the methods are full of the methods by which russia fights. they they fight piecemeal by methods in order to gain some kind of military advantage at the expense of actually capturing this or that populated place. and they simply , if they fail to capture it, try to wipe it off the face of the earth by firing artillery and tanks using aviation and, in particular

, ammunition prohibited by international conventions, such as phosphorous or cluster ammunition, for example, there is evidence that they are using them. that's why they fight like this , and taking into account the fact that there is a lot of equipment and they are constantly chasing the russians, sparing their personnel, constantly throwing them into the attack how said the head of the donetsk regional administration, kirylenko, as if zombies are repelling them and they are moving again, this is all, of course, talking about the complexity of the fact that it is really very difficult, uh, russian troops are trying to break through in several directions , well, it must be said that despite what is happening, despite the information that

the head of the svyatodar e-e military administration announced that our forces are retreating well, of course, we will wait for the official confirmation of the general staff, but even if this is so, in principle it is necessary to understand that it is not because we want to leave or because we are retreating there. we very often try to choose more advantageous and more fortified positions. we have to move gradually to the counteroffensive after we stop them, that is, answering your question, i think that the counteroffensive and counterattack actions will definitely take place after we stop them along the entire front line along the entire

problematic and difficult in all areas, and the advance of the russian troops will finally break their pace and further consolidate, having established themselves in our initial positions, we will create the prerequisites for such a contrast, we can say in general that in some areas this is already happening, for example in the south. for example, if we look at pivdenna buzkii the so-called direction and so on, where there is no such uh, let's say such large-scale efforts with such intensity by russian troops to attack ukrainian positions. they mostly still shell artillery uh, but they missile attacks are used, but they do not proceed to such large-scale offensive actions. i think that eventually it will be the same in the east, but for now, well, it is too early to talk about a counteroffensive there, now we need to repel the attacks, and

then already before the next generation, the day before the so-called ramstein meeting took place 2 it is called in online format, the contact group for support of ukraine has gathered again - it is more than 40 countries of the world. please tell me what you, as a specialist, can state based on the results of this meeting. i really have to say a number of practical things that personally impress me and inspire such optimism . first of all, it is necessary to pay attention to the fact that the states involved in helping ukraine have roads precisely for this purpose, and this rammstein site is called for, it is increasing time and time again. the meeting began with the fact that it was analyzed and a kind of audit was conducted of what was done in the previous month, since this meeting really took place offline, that is,

what weapons were delivered, what are your problems possible difficulties with the speed of deliveries in order to find suitable ammunition for the synchronization of processes and so on. thirdly, a decision was made already based on the results of this meeting that additional weapons will be provided to ukraine from what was at least announced by the head of the pentagon , the secretary of defense austin of the united states - this is against ship missiles are attack military helicopters. and this is also a continuation of the expansion of artillery e-e of our capacities, that is, they also came out with substantive results, in addition, i think that for obvious reasons, obviously not everything is disclosed, which is correct in principle, and the list can be much longer. well, the next point, again, the meeting should take place in a month, and again,

i think that by the time of the meeting that should take place , the results regarding er, the increase in military aid to ukraine is also decided in the same place with such, you know, substantive practical things. for example, there is a country that can provide weapons directly, but some countries do not have enough ammunition for er in storage, and in another country, on the other hand, has ammunition, and it is necessary to synchronize it all so that it is supplied together, and rammstein is also talking about this, and if we see this scheme, it works in principle, which instills such hope for the future. the fact that russia is preparing for a long-term war, the day before , the minister of defense of russia sergey shoigu also spoke at the meeting of the council of ministers of defense of the country dkb and he made a number of statements there, among which

the narratives of russian propaganda have been voiced for a long time but he also said that there was allegedly a serious threat of the creation of nuclear weapons in ukraine and the mechanisms for their delivery, is serhiy shoigu not implying in this way that russia is preparing to use nuclear weapons, well, you know this kind of nonsense, i immediately have a practical question, and that for according to his or others' version that ukraine should have tested e-weapons, the answers to these questions are simple for them. the narrative that was chosen from the beginning i want to remind you and all i think our dear viewers remember perfectly well that the topic of the fact that ukraine was going to restore its nuclear arsenal

was voiced by putin and other representatives of the russian government, it is not new and in order for this narrative to continue and to talk about it, what they were collecting, what they had in mind, and they continue, that is, they somehow try to cover up this crime of aggression committed against the state, constantly looking for at least some devices well, what about nuclear weapons? well, if we do n't have it even according to the version that it is, and we don't have the means of delivery today, then why should they use it against us, besides that, not a word was said about the fact that there was any evidence that ukraine was going to use it against russia, even if it created something. therefore, this is just a continuation of that narrative of an aggressive justification from their point of view of the war against ukraine. thank you for

joining . yakovlivka this is a village in kharkiv oblast which at the beginning of march, the russian army bombed it from aviation , completely destroying it. the road to the occupied donbas passes through yakovlivka, and now heavy fighting is going

on there from that side to here on the street of peace in the village of zdvizhivka in kyiv oblast.

two best friends, pavlo kholodenko and victor balai, they went to school together and went to the anti-terrorist operation together. they defended ukraine in the donbass as part of the kyiv region police battalion. when russia started a full-scale war, pavlo and viktor went to the military committee, but at the beginning of march, contact with them broke off and only after the russian occupation, they were found in one of the trenches, tortured and shot in the head, this story will be told by dmytro julai, they were best friends from childhood, they went to the first grade together from kindergarten together, went to the ato together, were tortured together and buried together in one pit they came across here этот можно така заказать что последняя копия весуали в э-э трачащую ногу человека, i will not be all killed, shot in the head. on this street, in the village

of zdvizhivka in the kyiv region, lived two best friends. pavlo kholodenko lived here, and viktor baley lived a little further away. when the full-scale russian aggression began, they went together to the military commissariat in the neighboring borodyanka, but soon lost contact with them, and they were very close friends, very close, they were in the ato for a whole year, they came home together they were released there for as long as a couple of days and together back they returned together together and together only i say son my home i say it has already fought let me tell the other boys go anka baba i swear i can't sit in the house tell baba to protect

i will go after arriving from izdvizhivka to borodyanka on february 25. pavlo and viktor were unable to sign up for any defense forces, as several eyewitnesses told me. at that time, there were many more willing people near the military commissariat in borodyanka than the weapons themselves, and the military commissariat itself was evacuated from the village the next day, so victor and pavlo did not wait. received weapons and decided to go to one of the local churches to spend the night there. how was my connection? he told me then that we wanted to get to the village . roadblocks and equipment. well, who will let you through? i asked him not to go anywhere, he will give it. we will be here and that's all. that's the short

conversation we had. as it turned out, this was the last conversation between the brothers pavlo and his friend victor. finding themselves during the war not at home, they were very worried about their mothers, grandmothers, in general, relatives who found themselves without them in the russian occupation in zdvizhitka, they rushed home very much because the locals still tried to get to their native village through the surrounding area through the forest. but after that, starting from the fourth on the fifth of march, nothing more was heard about them, but the bmp stopped here. well, you can see from the tracks that russian troops were all around here, but in this trench

we saw it here. there was a fragment of a bend sticking out from the knee to the knee, together with a boot. with such rubber, and then when we already started on the third of april, when they were dug up, it turned out that there were two people here, one was in a sitting position, and the other was in a lying position, and his head was down. he was blue, his hands were tied. everyone had me, they were all, er, killed, shot in the head after we carefully dug out the boys , raised them to the ground, we realized that they were our boys, vita had their eyes closed with tape, and pavel had a hood on his head, well, his face was not to the ground and the body was mutilated, it was obvious that they were

mocked, they were tortured and it is very difficult that they put them together, these are our not good people russia with russia i don't even know what they are called correctly the russian online edition of the project published an investigation about the units russian army which fighting in ukraine, journalists collected information on 166 commanders, their biography, information on income, debts, fines, yes, in a third of officers, the project revealed debts for alimony and communal services, more than 30 people had fines for violating traffic rules, some were disqualified from

driving while intoxicated in the state, a number of officers are included in the 100 strata and black lists of banks, another important detail is that of the 166 officers, information about which the project collected only 39 of them had real combat experience, mainly in syria at least 20 chechen officers, according to the project's estimates, are one way or another connected to ukraine, were born or grew up here, among them a native of kharkiv oblast , major general oleg makovetsky, ukrainian prosecutor's office. russia is in command of the war in ukraine, let's talk further with us on the link yuliya balakhonova journalist-publication project co-author of the investigation of pro-russian officers yuliya hello, good day to your investigation collected reports and more than 60 commanders of the invasion, what surprises you the most is your

investigation, well, for me, probably the most striking fact was just one in eight of the officers who can be with ukraine, that is, the people there grew closer, someone grew up, someone he even gave a military oath to ukraine, the ukrainian people cleaned themselves up, or went to vote for their native land, this is probably something about those who, eh, in crimea, eh, crossed over to the russian side, yes, eh, there was no such thing, eh, his last name was was born in belarus, but he studied in kiev and took the oath of office in ukraine, served in the ukrainian army. then i hold it. well , in my opinion, it was back in the 90s, but in the 90s, he naturally took the military oath to the ukrainian

people . asked if you find an answer to the question, why do russian soldiers massively steal everything they see, cars, toilets, children's toys, how can this be explained ? how do you explain it? - eh striking young people when people simply ask to bring everything they see. and how did we get out, or in the russian army there are not so many good salaries ? we are on defense, and even those who actually manage the war at the general staff mean that if the officials recruited there have an average income of one in two million, then i have already put 130,000 a-a in the army commanders there in

general there are three of us even no i'm not my zhenya they live in an office building and everyone’s apartment is not very big. why are there 20 men there? what does it say about those who are here, the seconded colonel? it seems to me that something is wrong, the level of life is the level of life in the army . dedicated to what is actually happening now on the territory of russia. where is it located without the main

pipes, shirts, just where does the terrible publishing house of the soldier of vacancies in the ukrainian language fit, and that's all the atmosphere. i think how it will be formed knowledge of people and how are you how can you possibly in the process of the investigation explain to yourself the brutality that the russian army became famous for, mass murder , rape, including children, already many descriptions, many attribute it to propaganda from your point of view времяный вечество речь только прогадангия ah, well , i don't think that only your propaganda is exactly uh, this is the protest, i was talking about these strata , which is actually happening in these parts where he serves in russia, they are simply being illegally mocked by soldiers , and uh, of course er, well, if you serve it in the army, you are part of it, uzhhorod-commander mocks, mocks yours, serves er, serves er, serves at night. my

life simply ends with suicide. well, that leads to this. what is happening in the toilet of these people? well, it is difficult in general, somehow explain all the means that we see later, by the way. it doesn’t fit, but they knew that, well, these are so directly open, but yes, that in uh, in the russian military units, they are affected. and i am. as far as i understood from your investigation. you made a survey of 166 officers, but there is already a large part of them, of which they are no longer alive, they died, right, yes, yes, there are 20, uh, um, i think the number is about 27 confirmed plants and 10 more, which is here состоятельно не толко украинской стронь eh thank you very much yulia balakhonova

journalist-publication project ukrainian pianists from chernihiv laureate of international competitions gennady demyanchuk before the war gave music in concert halls of ukraine and the world italy france belgium war changed his life separated his family and today as immigrants gennady and his wife live in chervonograd, lviv region here for the first time since the beginning of the war, he sat down at the grand piano and radio svoboda met a musician there. we heard this terrible, soul-wrenching sound of an air alarm and somehow could not believe that this was happening to us now, what is this in a dream that this is reality yes we went outside to the street and it was a reality

inside these events we heard all these sounds both ours and others and already began to separate where whose hearing helped us because we heard something flying from afar from afar and then it turned out that we were not mistaken that it was flying aviation and but when it was quiet it was also very scary because the night was such and such a place and such a time when we understood that this enemy is absolutely not people, not people can do anything to you and no one will answer for it

such a thought arose, and somehow you go out to a concert and play you open your soul, you are absolutely defenseless. is there a potential murderer or someone else ? why should i open my soul to him? there was such a reluctance to do it at all, because it is such a very intimate act, and where a person is absolutely defenseless. and when we arrived in the city chervonograd trying to listen to something caused so much anxiety and excitement and nervous that listening to any beautiful music at all it was impossible because it all ended very yes not not very pleasant and well no could i, my no, i couldn't listen to music

at all, and then slowly, little by little, you get used to it again but it also happens very, very painfully i would really like to stay in ukraine of course, this is my motherland i love it very much i love i consider my city to be an absolutely fantastic holy city. i would like to continue and help, but whether the circumstances will allow me, and they are very different, i don't know , let 's see. and former nato secretary general andres von rasmus headed an international advisory group that will develop proposals

for security guarantees for ukraine . i will quote directly from andrii yarmak, he says that the agreement between ukraine and the guarantor states should be a legally binding document ratified in accordance with the legislation of the guarantor states. andriy yarmak, and also according to him, these guarantor states must provide the armed forces of ukraine with modern conventional weapons and combat equipment without any restrictions and politically determined obstacles. we will follow this topic and i think that we will come to the air with new details tomorrow broadcast tomorrow well, traditionally, i encourage you to subscribe to radio svoboda pages on the internet, and on social networks instagram, telegram, twitter, facebook, wherever you like.
