so that we, ukrainians, think of poles as brothers and brother and talk about ukrainians. the government, how should we take them ? that we hear various strange statements of kadyrov, we see that the russians are there somewhere with a periodicity of 1-2 weeks, now they throw all kinds of information into the information space that poland wants to take over part of ukraine, lukashenko recently voiced his crazy thoughts about what else we will have to defend ukraine from poland. we can now see on our broadcast that just let them think that luhansk region is on fire from us and under constant shelling in ukraine, the bodies of russian soldiers abandoned on the battlefield are gathering on bbc news

ukraine live from london - this is the 92nd day since the beginning of the russian invasion, the russians have struck dozens of settlements in the donetsk and luhansk regions, the most difficult situation in severodonetsk and lysychansk in ukraine remains the bodies of hundreds of dead russian soldiers who their fate ukrainian cinema at the international festival in cannes protest with sirens and a call to cinema artists not to ignore the suffering of ukraine more than 40 towns and villages in the donetsk and

luhansk regions were attacked on thursday, may 26 some districts of kharkiv and the city of dergachi next to him the mayor ihor terekhov assured that the kharkiv metro will continue to work, at the same time the citizens can hide there from the bombings of the residents of the kharkiv region . lysychansk and severodonetsk found themselves under continuous fire in the east of the country, the general staff of the ukrainian army declares that the russian army is storming and destroying severodonetsk because they are currently fighting for control of the road between lysychansk and bakhmut, more details in the story of the bbc correspondent joinwood dispersed what is the superiority in force trying to completely seize donbas on in these shots released by the ministry of defense of ukraine, thermobaric bombing of their positions, the current

targets of russia, the cities of severodonetsk and lysychansk, they have not yet been cut off, but the only way to them in life will be bombarded for several days if he becomes a passerby thousands of ukrainian fighters and civilians may be trapped cities across the region are empty we no i don't know where we are going just trying to get as far away from the war as possible this is the main increase in human costs in this war has led to that some people ask whether ukraine should give up some territories in order to save lives recently this proposal was made by the former us secretary of state henry kissinger, but it is worth saying that here in kyiv it was not accepted so that the russian state did not do it, there is someone who says let's take into account its interest this year it was successful,

it was heard again despite the thousands of russian missiles that hit ukraine, despite the tens of thousands of ukrainians killed upon arrival, despite mariupol, etc., despite the destroyed cities, and with each day the destruction becomes longer and longer, this is kramatorsk, a key place of donbass both for russians and for ukrainians here, they know that if severodonetsk falls, their city will be next. evgeni only 13 he shuddered at the sounds of shelling . i'm used to it in my village, he says. he adds that it was the 122nd shelling, the longer this war continues, the more scars there are not only in the cities and villages of this country, but also in the people who live there. therefore , lysychansk and severodonetsk remain the strongholds of ukraine's control over the situation in donbas,

however serious the risks are there the encirclement of the ukrainian forces and in general how the construction for the ukrainian donbas is unfolding, let's talk about it with the correspondent bbc-album shudra, he is in direct contact with us, albio. i congratulate you. so please explain what is known about the meaning of severodonetsk and lysychansk for the battle for donbass and what tactics are currently being used by the russian army hm in severodonetsk is really under threat of encirclement and here the situation is rapidly changing as recently as yesterday on the telegram channel, the head of the luhansk regional military administration, serhii gaidai, reported that humanitarian aid had been brought to severodonetsk and that luhansk region was not cut off, but already today the representative of the authorities admitted that the enemy fired on the lysichansk-bakhmut road, in other words , the enemy did not capture the road but blocks movement along it . and this endangers the supply of ukrainian

the troops in severodonetsk can be defended for a long time in the conditions of the city, storming the city, fighting in urban conditions can cost the enemy heavy losses, but this is provided that the ukrainian military will have ammunition, fuel provisions, if it is possible to evacuate the wounded, the russians have concentrated in this direction, a large number of troops are advancing from several directions to surround ukrainian group they have an advantage in artillery, in particular, artillery is currently protecting the situation in donbas. also, as reported by the general staff of the armed forces of ukraine, each the new attack begins with a raid by russian aircraft, will the ukrainian command withdraw the group in order to preserve it for new battles, many military experts draw attention to the fact that there is still another way that can be used to withdraw ukrainian forces, the loss of severodonetsk will not mean defeat in the entire battle for donbas, but for russia the entrance to sevier donetsk can have a great

propaganda value, because for those russians who approve of putin's actions, it is perceived as control over luhansk region and the road to slavyansk and krematorsk albi, one more question about the situation in donetsk region. i know that you went to the front line in the donetsk region at the beginning of the russian invasion. at that time, ukraine was in complete control of such towns . it is not possible to advance significantly there, as in luhansk region, as experts explain, we were, for example, in avdiivka, we talked with the ukrainian military, who are now opposing the russian offensive in this area, the ukrainian military were are determined. and we also ask that avdiyivka is a typical city in donbas all its life around the coke plant, the front is always nearby and they are used to skirmishes. and now the city is under threat

of destruction. there is also a ukrainian military group here and it can defend for a long time. mariupol allowed ukraine to gain time. if this defense prevented russian forces from advancing north, now the ukrainian team is deciding what the next step should be . it is expedient to hold positions, even if we have an advantage in defense, but with the risk of encirclement, we do not know the answer to this question, some experts draw attention to the fact that heavy weapons from the west are only beginning to arrive to the armed forces stationed in donbas, and the russians have a large number of aviation artillery, the russians will large forces to seize luhansk region and then spread to the donetsk region in the south, also russian forces that at least require attention and timely response from the ukrainian troops to the shelling of kharkiv some placements of russian missiles near the borders of ukraine in belarus russia wants to maintain its superiority in armaments in donbas, therefore it

supports the tension in other regions by diverting a certain number of ukrainian troops, but the success of hostilities depends on many factors, without knowing all the information it is difficult to draw unambiguous conclusions, you can only say for sure that in the donbas, the battles of the albians are very fierce. we thank you very much, we will move on after the ukrainian army pushed back the russian troops from near kyiv bodies of dead russian soldiers are still found on the outskirts of the capital, some were buried by ukrainian peasants, some were exhumed and brought for preservation in refrigerated wagons, the bbc team even found human remains on the side of the main road, ukraine says that russia is not interested in returning all of its soldiers, international law does not allow exchanges of the dead, they can only be handed over to the other side, we warn you that this report contains footage that may shock in the forests around kyiv

after the fighting here has stopped. the dead are still found in shallow graves, when the dogs began to dig out one of them, the villagers called a team of forensic experts and it turned out that the body was not a ukrainian, the uniform of a russian soldier indicated this throwing ukraine is called proof that in reality everything is just the opposite of the bodies we find, this is simply evidence that they treat their people like garbage, like agromat meat they don't need them, the soldiers throw them here, they retreat, run away and throw us away, we don't know why this soldier was left, but we know that his body was taken to a refrigerated train where the corpses are stored, the task is to identify the

dead, tie the names to these numbers and then to send them to their families, although ukraine says that russia is not interested in this, he has a chance to return, at least this one has a chance to return home, the badges and bank cards show that the body was found in the forest. it was a young soldier from in siberia, the ukrainian hotline for missing russian soldiers receives threatening calls, now the staff works from home for security reasons, but in the beginning, olena received dozens of calls per hour in total from worried women who were looking for their husbands and sons of soldiers. how many times have we told them what is really going on here? is happening about the number of dead and wounded in this war, russians often listened in shock and with tears in shock, when russian tanks tried to

advance on kyiv, they met here a fierce resistance in the village restaurant, everything except the aquarium is broken among the ruins, we found leaflets calling on the russian troops to surrender, no one knows the true scale of the trance of both sides, and ukrainian families talk about their own attempts to return the bodies of their soldiers in the huts, according to the villagers , at least a dozen russians are buried and sympathy for them is small. well, it is not humane for us here , it is not humane to forbid or not to take a fighter with us or not to bury it, it is not humane, but with such ruins of war around here they still find the dead on the roads, they just noticed

a fragment of human remains, or his leg was very burnt from the spine with the wind, the smell is really sickening. these are probably the remains of another russian soldier . because there are broken russian tanks across the street, there are such wagons everywhere in ukraine for those who collect the dead, they are enemy soldiers, but somewhere in russia, someone is probably looking for mariupol children for each of them, the russian occupation administration will teach you to forget ukraine. this is how you can describe their probable intentions to extend the school year until 1 in the middle of the ruins of the ashes of mass graves, there are plans to restore the work of nine schools as soon as possible. this was reported by the adviser to the city mayor, petro andryushchenko. earlier, the ukrainian ombudsman lyudmila denisova spoke about the intimidation of teachers in the

occupied territories. if a teacher refuses to teach russian, literature, history of russia , and mathematics in russian, he she can be sent for filtering. not to mention humanitarian workers in cities where it is still not possible to buy basic food, my colleague bbc journalist victoria prisletska highlights how the russian army and government turn education into a weapon of war and destroy ukrainian books. video i congratulate you. so, what is known for sure about the pressure on educators in the occupation and what is demanded of them there? greetings zhanna i would like to say that the destruction of books is an attempt control over the school over the teachers is such a common tactic of totalitarian regimes and the russian government in the temporarily occupied territories is no different from known examples in history and

military administration under any conditions they are trying to restore the educational process in schools, and where it is, it is clearly not yet safe, if it is about mariupol, then i did not understand at all in which buildings, or are there entire buildings there in order to bring children and teachers there ? education, the ideology of the russian world, propaganda in the dpr of the so -called dpr and lpr. i know that earlier this issue was studied here, so how did they do it there? yes, in fact, what is happening today in mariupol, kherson, melitopol is quite enough the scheme of the so-called russification has already been worked out for 8 years, and the only thing i want to say is that in the temporarily occupied territories of donbas, in the declared republics, everything happened

more slowly, for example, in 2014-2015, training took place in schools still according to ukrainian programs, and gradually they came there russian textbooks were brought there for russian programs, and the ukrainian language was taught until recent years, but it was an optional course that was only once a week. there are programs, these programs are concluded by the donetsk institute of education. and in these programs, it is interesting to look at exactly how history is taught . yes, in history for the fifth and ninth grades, the word ukraine or the words kyiv are not mentioned at all. instead, they are studied . the history of the formation of the state of the donetsk people's republic and the constitution of the donetsk people's republic is being studied and the same is happening in the luhansk people's republic and at the same time people who are now arriving in those territories with someone

they talked, they say that there are children who continue to secretly study the ukrainian language, they meet with tutors, teachers, and apparently they hope to enter ukrainian universities zhan thank you, congratulations, all the details, the facts really help to understand what to expect from the mischief of the occupation authorities in mariupol, and teaching russian to ukrainian children, one more question to you, after all, how can you sum up what russian propagandists are trying to achieve in education , and what ukraine can do today for that in order to minimize such intentions. well, in fact, this pressure is quite aggressive pressure , with the kidnapping of teachers, with raids on

their homes, with the seizure of computer equipment. with the new government, because otherwise they can be subjected to such serious pressure , and secondly, this is the creation of a propaganda picture, that is, when, as they say, look, yes, we liberated, as they say, these territories, and now children are already studying in school in these territories. hospitals are working. shops are working. and one more important point is that a school in any community is always a center where teachers, parents, children come together, and an attempt to destroy a school is actually an attempt to undermine the community, to undermine society from the middle, even the middle school was like that the unspoken and spoken word between the countries that fought about the fact that they leave the school, they do not destroy them at the current stage - this is all concluded in the conventions on the rights of people and of course that the destruction of the skin i want to note that currently in ukraine already

more than 1,600 schools were damaged and two hundred schools were completely destroyed. this is absolutely a violation of these conventions and is a war crime. and the question is what can i do. the ukrainian government's position in this situation is to support teachers who refuse to cooperate. they leave their salaries, and my interlocutors confirmed that they receive a salary. and this is also an important help to applicants who this year found themselves in a very difficult situation and they have to take a multi-subject test - this is a replacement for this year 's simplified external independent testing version of the external examination but they can take it only in the territory under the control of kiev a-a thank you, you are very welcome a-a next we will talk about a country that , contrary to the current conditions, helps ukraine to preserve its education and not only poland poland helps

ukraine primarily with weapons and humanitarian aid projects, the country gave up russian gas before the end of the agreement, accepted more than 2 million refugees from ukraine, in fact, it was this country that created the road of life for ukrainians through poland to ukraine, vital goods are transported in the outside world, ukrainians mostly leave also through poland. what is the danger of such a determined support for ukraine? poland itself is not the only one who talks about this . bbc correspondent oksana turok spoke with the ambassador of ukraine to poland, andriy doshchytsa. is it possible that poland will say that we cannot accept ukrainian refugees ? i believe that all these statements that come from the mouths of the state leadership and the president and prime minister and ministers responsible for almost the entire

government are responsible for helping ukrainians they declare their readiness to receive and provide assistance to ukrainians as much as it is necessary, they will obviously have problems because the stay of ukrainians among our released migrants here requires additional funds for their maintenance and for the fulfillment of the promises that the polish government made to our citizens when they arrived in poland and fleeing from the war, of course, this money will have to be found, because it was not planned in the budget, and of course the polish government will have to somehow generate it or with own reserves or from aid from the

european commission, but the only thing i definitely want is that this does not happen, that this aid provided to our citizens, social, medical, free education, well, living in private houses or sometimes not private is also free, so that it is not at the expense of the poles that if they start to take from citizens of poland and give to citizens of ukraine, then there may be certain difficulties , relations are getting worse, diplomats are being expelled, there are talks about different opportunities for the ambassador, even the russian one how far can this aggravation go in your opinion, look at these relations between poland and russia have never been good and they have always had the imprint of history, especially after the smolensk disaster, and it will always remain a

tragedy for of the entire polish people , what happened on april 10, 2010, when the leadership of the state led by president oleg lukachynska and his wife maria kachynska died. russia has always tried to keep poland in its hands and under its control in different ways. it was given in different ways by dividing poland between other states, dividing it by entering the troops , taking out polish officers and active citizens from nazisbyr, shooting many people, and even looking at how the people of warsaw are

fighting for their capital in august 1944 during the warsaw uprising and without giving them any help, despite the fact that it was already clear at that time that russia was opposing, well, fighting with nazi germany, but they did not want to fight then and did not want to help the poles fight with by the nazis and help the poles who defended their way to the capital, but therefore, in memory of the historical relations between russia and poland, the poles remain very negative . let's say inflation is high in poland, this is

not the result of the fact that the polish government does not deal with inflation, but the result of the fact that the source of this inflation is in moscow, because moscow started the war and the fact that the war started, what is it now though it is possible that many people say that it is between ukraine and russia, but i see that this war is already much more global and it is this war that gave rise to inflation everywhere in the world, therefore the relations between russia and poland will never be so friendly that even the way they were before the war, because poland clearly took the side of ukraine and clearly understands who is the enemy and who is the victim of this

military aggression, they said that poland is preparing for a possible attack by russia, it is seriously realistic to think that russia can communicate against the country, well look at this, poland is seriously preparing, it is serious and i think they are doing the right thing because there is an ancient i don't remember if it's a greek or a roman saying that you want peace, prepare for war if warsaw is official see what can this aggressive policy of russia in ukraine lead to? it is high time to prepare for it so that it does not happen in poland, so that there are no similar groups of irpins and guests in poland, that is why

they are seriously preparing for that, they have increased and updated the law on defense increased the defense budget has increased the number of e-e territorial defense, they are purchasing modern types of weapons for the army, this is normal, that's why the red blunderer was reminded of the military's war crimes against ukrainians instead of another photo shoot and an interview with a tabloid, the authors of the ukrainian tape "butterfly's vision" unfurled a banner with the inscription "russians are killing ukrainians, you do you think it is offensive or disturbing to talk about this genocide , we will continue until may 28, and soon the winners of the film festival of vision will be announced there the butterfly was shot by the director maksym nakonechnyi, the film is about an air reconnaissance officer, liliya, who was captured in the donbas, and is sexually

assaulted there, the film is participating in the competition, a special look, and is also nominated for the award for the best full-length golden camera , our colleague journalist yevgenia is in touch with us rudenko zhenyu i congratulate you so, at this festival, there is also a film by maksym nakonechnyi, and the aforementioned action on the red carpet, which his team conducted, is primarily about the truth of russia's war against ukraine or the western film audience is ready to accept all this truth without bills and without taboo. congratulations, it is very difficult to say this about the entire audience. but i think that you can take, for example, as an example this action that you have not yet told about the action on the red carpet that you held the film crew held a vision of a butterfly, uh, for me personally, it became practically the first powerful statement of ukrainian cinematographers in cannes. because before, only

serhiy a loznytsia had spoken. against the total code of russian culture in the volcanoes, you understand, but the red carpet where the ukrainian cinematographers performed is like this, if you can say secondary, it is not the main carpet at all . there are many carpets behind my back, if you see there is one more of these carpets and it is the main one, the film crew was not allowed to do this action eh and they even allowed maksym nakonechny to wear such a yellow-blue ribbon on his tuxedo, but returning to the red carpet they climbed dbc where they did literally 100 m from there on the main track ah, there was a presentation of a movie about elvis, a biopic about elvis presley, and this, i mean, literally 100 m from there, there is fun, loud music, people, women, in elegant bright red dresses, while ours are only in white and black clothes, and at the same time also

i saw literally in front of my eyes that the security of the film festival actually forbade or restricted the entry of people who walked with ukrainian flags came to the premiere and asked not to unfurl them at the premiere. the program and that's all the news for today, more history, search on our website bbc.ua and our page in social networks. watch us again tomorrow at 21:00 glory to ukraine, this is a program, the verdict, my name is serhiy rudenko. good day and good health to everyone, today is the 92nd day
