and my hope, my hope is for those who are on the frontlines today. i think that by preserving their humanity, they will become important leaders in our society, because i hope for a new generation of young people, people of your age. i am already so young. ukraine is changing a lot today, and god forbid. so that it continues to change, it is a terrible time, but this is an extraordinary opportunity, because the war greatly accelerates the historical process, and they, in ukraine, seem to me to be moving in a healthy direction on a moral level. it is important that we do not allow

so that the traumas of the actions of the wicked and the wicked, so to speak, turn us away from this path of such purification and spiritual exaltation. well, really, i think you know that everyone's sins are always paid for with blood, and for the sins of many politicians of countries that supported, let's say, putin, who rolled their eyes today, unfortunately, the ukrainian people are paying with blood. well, i think that it is blood that cleans the world anyway. well, europe, in general, will give some kind of new life and society to ours and the world in general, which maybe somewhere, you know, has wandered off a little. there, but such a cruel reality, the cruel realities of life and in this life today, ukrainians are passion-sufferers well, but ukrainians will be resurrected as christ and ukraine thank you very much, the essence is approximately the feast of the ascension on thursday, yes, this is a great truth. this is not a myth for us christians, we believe -

it's a matter of seconds. we believe that the lord wants us to be with him and i believe that those who gave their lives are with god today for eternity, this eternity begins when we are not afraid, these are our people, our souls are holy there with god today, they too support ukraine, although unfortunately, of course. thus , today their lives were cut short, the earthly new heavenly will last forever. thank you very much, bishop boris gudziak, he is the archbishop , metropolitan of the philadelphia archdiocese , president of the ukrainian catholic university. thank you for visiting us . i will now give yevhen pastukhov his word about sports during the war, he is ready to speak yevhen, please. good evening to vasyl. greetings, dear viewers of the espresso tv channel, indeed, in the next few minutes we will talk about that what is happening to ukrainian sports at the time of the full-scale russian invasion. so , we start the sports column and we start

it with football. the ukrainian national team continues the final stage of preparation for the decisive one of the decisive playoff matches of the 2022 world cup qualification in the boat, in particular, we are talking now about the match against scotland, which will take place on june 1 and the blue-yellow team played a two-sided game. as part of the preparation for this important match, instead of a friendly game, ukraine held an internal match in which the national team of 22 the football players were divided into blue and yellow teams, the coaching staff does not disclose the exact composition , as work is currently underway to determine the level of readiness of the performers for your scotland and the two teams were led by the coaching duos of oleksandr petrakov and oleksandr shovkovsky, as well as andrii anenkov and avramenko campamora, one of them had to follow the style of the scots actually it was like that, the match ended in a draw with a score of 1:1, the goals were scored by the striker of the portuguese benfica roman

yaremchuk and the forward by artem dovbyk, who scored a penalty earlier, the head coach of the national team oleksandr petrakov spoke about the fact that the ukrainians will not have friendly matches before the meeting with the scots, despite the fact that two control games were planned on may 23 and 26, in which the so-called legionnaire football players who came, in particular, from england , were to participate and italy ukraine played its last preparatory match against rijeka on wednesday, may 18, the day after the sparring match with empol and now i offer direct speech to listen to direct speech oleksandr petrakova and ruslan malinovskyi about the preparation for scotland and bilateral sleepers, they simulated the game of the scottish national team a little, one team played according to the scheme 3 3 5 2 3 4 3 somewhere, so they simulated the standard position, so

we did not like the combat draw here, the main thing in this game was to physically withstand this 90 minutes and some tactical moments can be prepared. well, we continue to closely monitor the preparation of our national team for the battle with the scots and will continue to inform you of the main news from our team's camp. now we move on to the new club football desna and mariupol will not play in the championship of ukraine in the next season, it is about the ukrainian premier league. however, desna and mariupol will have fixed places in the elite of ukrainian football, this decision was made in view of the inability of the teams to play due to the destruction and the military-political situation in the regions and this decision was made at the general meeting of the participants of the ukrainian premier league, another decision that was made by the only main one is that the ukrainian football championship should be held for the next season will be developed and adopted

a temporary special regulation that will provide for the conditions of the competition in the current situation, namely in the situation of a full-scale russian invasion, and also about football, i am talking about white football clubs will play in the eurocups, they were not disqualified, but they will definitely not meet ukrainians there, ukrainian and belarusian clubs will fight during the draw announced that they will actually breed a team from ukraine and belarus, respectively, the decision was published on the official website of the organization in early may uefa decided to punish russian clubs are suspended from all european cup tournaments, it is about the champions league and the europa league and the conference league, and this verdict was passed by the organization because of the full-scale invasion of ukraine by russia, which began on february 24. as we know, however, belarus, which is also related to the full-scale invasion of ukraine , the organization didn't punish cruelly today

uefa adopted a new decision concerning belarusian clubs in eurocups and it provides that teams from ukraine and belarus will not be able to play among ourselves, we remember earlier that the same decision was in effect during the last eight years, when ukrainian and russian football clubs could not meet on the european stage. the validity period of uefa's decision remains uncertain, at least it will apply to the 2022-23 european cup season, which begins in july, in addition to matches in which belarusian teams will be the hosts will take place without spectators and this is yet another arrow in the belarusian direction, motivating their new decision, uefa noted that belarus cannot to fully guarantee the safety of the teams as well as officials and other participants in the matches, and this is the end of the sports section. i wish you victories. have a nice and peaceful evening. i say goodbye and pass

the word to vasyl zamii, who will continue the big broadcast on the espress tv channel. thank you very much yevgena yevhen pastukhov told us about sports, we now we will talk about the war again serhiy zgurets my colleague and co-host and expert of defense express i congratulate you mr. serhiy today there are many important tenders that we will have time to discuss the situation on luhansk region, we will talk about other important things, but now, before we move on to the military results of the day, i want to announce an exclusive interview for the espresso tv channel with major general dmytro marchenko about the defense of mykolaiv, total resistance to foreign weapons and the counteroffensive of the ukrainian army tomorrow at 15:10 watch on espresso don't miss it's important, he is one of those generals who is actually the creator of our successes at the front and we believe that he will become a co-creator of the great ukrainian victory, so let's start today, sergei, with this

dark first with good ones which i have already voiced and will voice again today in an air duel in the kherson region ukrainian mig-29 aircraft shot down a russian fighter jet 35 this is what analogues there is no well it is super 1577 but it is the same let's say yes well, but it’s basically the same thing. is it like that? well, they’re a little different. in fact, the story is quite interesting. by the way, i called the air force command, and i’m saying that you have an interesting unique annual, not unique because they simply stopped flying to us , they only fly in, we shoot them down, but which details of this story. they say that when our su-25 attack aircraft perform tasks there, covering the combat operations of ground units, our mig-29 fighters cover them, so relatively speaking, the enemy is trying our attack aircraft, which fly below, they do not see them, they do not see them, and at the expense of missile weapons, they want to shoot us down, but this

time the situation was completely different, our mig -29 fighter - with a p-27 missile somewhere at a distance of 30-40 km, i think, shot down a fourth -generation russian plane, that is, which is much better in terms of its own technical capabilities than our mig-29th, and in fact the destruction of this aircraft took place over the kherson region. this is the conversation of this pilot who says that i am shot down, i am ejecting. he crashed and fell on the territory of the kherson region. it should be remembered that in fact russia produced about 100 of such aircraft. each of them, the cost is somewhere around 50 million dollars, and this is actually such a deep modernization of more powerful su-27 fighters compared to 29, by the way, this confirms that our pilots have a technological

advantage over certain aircraft that the russian the federation is really capable of shooting them down when they fly into our territory, here it is worth mentioning the recent stories when the su-25 was shot down, where did you fly, a general who was 63 years old, this is the largest such example, the most famous, she says, is it an example of the shooting down of a russian general, but when we talk about the use of russian aviation, we must consider one more point that confirms the peculiarity of military operations on our territory with the use of aviation, the enemy uses not only modern planes with good weapons with good locators, and they always interact with long-range aircraft from the official detection of so-called aircraft, and 50 here we see from the coverage of these aircraft that took off

from the territory of belarus at one time, and now they take off from the territory of crimea, and at the same time there are several of them in the air of planes, each of which sees our territory at 400 km/h and they precisely track, including, the rebasing of our planes in such conditions of constant surveillance, really managed to complete a combat mission like this demonstrated today, mig-29 fighters are extremely difficult, and when we talk about the fact that the russians have such long-range detection aircraft , including those that provide the development and guidance of aircraft, this means that one of our tasks, including trying to shoot down these long-range enemy eye so that they do not have the opportunity to direct their planes, so this is a technological thing. it is necessary to take into account and take into account the defense, so as to minimize the advantage of the russians in one direction or another. well, i think that we will talk later now there simply won't be time for that. and about the fact that ten attack aircraft were transferred to ukraine from abroad

, is it true in a disassembled form? well, maybe we will spend more time talking about this, we will say what attack aircraft are, maybe we will invite an expert. well, what is the disassembled form in the next programs we will definitely talk about this and maybe some other aircraft will not be given. by the way, the minister of foreign affairs of britain lystras said that he does not see any problems in this ukrainian army with helicopters, planes at all. in general, things are normal. therefore, we need to provide help. it’s just that we are waiting. everything is ready for us, the situation on the fronts may not be such a happy reason . i would like to reach, please, it is really difficult. i liked today’s quote from the representative of the pentagon . p- press releases interesting statement that ukrainians fight bravely and creatively without any signs of the influence

of hostilities on their courage and resilience and then there was talk about the russians that the russian side does not demonstrate any innovative approaches to hostilities, we understand that it is russia conducts hostilities primarily with the use of a significant amount of aviation artillery. and after it manages to push through our defenses, after the defense line is completely burnt out, then the ground units advance, this is exactly the situation we have today exactly along the line of izyum, where is the liman, where the enemy is conducting combat operations in the town in the city of liman, and the most difficult situation is really directly in the syro-donetsk lysychanska, where the enemy entered the outskirts of the city and established a territory there called

peace . in the very place it is not happening, here we see a map where the most dangerous zones of interaction are lysych estuary severodonetsk lysychansk and the situation with popasna where she says something is developing two directions of attack one directly to bakhmut in order to make it difficult to cut one of the routes, and the other - this is directly in the direction of lysychansk to reduce this isthmus that covers the usychansk bakhmut route on both sides. he himself said that it is actually possible to move along the highway of ukraine, but it is very difficult . and today they took out a number of residents and children from a dangerous area.

by the way, here we see exactly one by one from the roads that are constantly under fire. and by the way, if we now see, we have an infographic that shows the two cities of lysichansk, severodonetsk, which are separated by a river at a distance of up to 2 km, and here we can better see the number of bridges, which are about four , one destroyed, another bridge was fired upon and actually destroyed of these bridges really in a certain way complicates the logistics of the divisions that defend severodonetsk, that is, in fact, the hostilities here continue, there is a risk, relatively speaking, of the influence of our troops with the risk of encirclement, as the russian side is trying to demonstrate but the ukrainian soldiers courageously hold their lines and now it depends on what decision the general staff will make. by the way, here we see a video of yuri

butusov, which caused such big statements by some politicians that and let's start a conversation about this situation with botus wider than the history between the volume of the president and yuri butusov, the head of the censor.info censor is just a homocensor and the publication is called valery the king, the head of the center for communication content security, mr. valery i congratulate you. i congratulate you. let's start with this, because it's important. it means journalist, editor-in- chief, censor yuriy butusov, military correspondent, worked for a long time, well, during this war, he was on the front line, in particular, recently , as far as i understand, he was also in kharkiv oblast. where is he there? it was the last time, he doesn't know. well, he was accused by people's deputy maryana bezugla, known to all of us, who wanted deserters to be shot there at the front, and they say that he betrays the positions of the ukrainian army as his own . reports and helps the enemy fire at these

positions, which means that no one from the soldiers had any complaints against him, but the very next day he was not allowed to go to ground zero, as they say. is it not possible to show what the soldiers live in? is it not possible to show what the situation is in general where it is hot now and uh then the question is how to convey this information to the people without those who, so to speak, are not under control here is the president or some of his to advisers who show things as they really are . you know how dangerous this tendency is to draw this or that information in black. i will tell you that this situation should be looked at more broadly . truth and lies always buy the color of this historical one, so to speak. but what is truth and lies about? this is about today, the decision that it is more about tomorrow is the truth, why should i speak because in

today's world it is almost impossible to hide something hidden today will definitely come out tomorrow and definitely from the hansel and on the head of whoever it is hid, however, there are rules of war and they provide for a whole series of restrictions on information, and this is an absolutely incorrect position in modern war, these restrictions have increased significantly because such concepts as radio interception are visible or geolocation have appeared. it is possible to reveal photos, videos, links, the movement of military columns , objects, and the like. and of course, the command of the armed forces cannot reveal their plans, their re-operation , and the like, because these are elements that the enemy is hunting for here, too, journalists cannot er play on the side of the enemy, but we cannot keep society in a state of long-term non-giving. moreover, we

do not have the right to deceive it, we must respect our citizens and give them a certain victory, which is how i review almost every day official reports about the course of events in the war, and i can’t because they don’t satisfy me, and the spokesmen with their stories don’t satisfy me. i think the situation is the same for many of our citizens who want to know the truth, if we say take the official from there reports for a week, then we see a very general picture and we will have more questions than before because we live in a digital world and someone somewhere has already said about it more than once. despite the fact that the enemy is working very actively, he throws both the two-version space and the ukrainian and the world with their versions, so

what should we know, i see here two mutually e-e complementing informational options. society, the first is a serious analytical support, the current war is not about the daily analysis of the tactics of the units' actions, and so on. that is precisely what cannot be allowed. it is about the fact that for a certain period, let's say a week, 10 days, two weeks, practice will show that serious people who enjoy trust in society and faster all these non-officials should talk about the real state of affairs, for example, now i am reading such an analyst, austrian tom cooper, australian not a local, not an american eric, they tell me the specifics of the course events in the war, the successes and failures of the armed forces and the occupiers, fortunately for this list, you can also add ukrainians mykola beleskov from the national

institute, but it is not the austrians, but the australians who should tell me about this war, because they still have a detached view and their own understanding of our problems. an option when a critical situation arises, i.e. alarming information, er, which excites society, what should be done in this situation, who should comment, then a high-ranking official should come out to communicate. i think it is possible, it should be the supreme commander of the armed forces and he has to prove as much as possible information and everything to come out with all the performance of hope and faith that everything is happening er and is aimed at victory and what is very important one information one information is not information - this is nothing at all in the modern world should be powerful informational and actionable support, which should be coordinated by our respective informational and analytical organizations, let's say

under the auspices of the nsdc, there are other options, that is, there must be action. we cannot give we are fighting for the initiative, there is a theory and there is a reality, but conventionally speaking, we are talking about the fact that we are winning, we are winning, we are winning, then arestovych comes out and says that everything is bad with us, there are no reserves and everything is difficult, what kind of resonances do such statements have? well, you you know, the risk of this immersion in a warm bath of information exists practically. well, somewhere from the first week, i don’t know from the second or third or what day . in the early days, it led to the fact that a part of society is addicted to this communication drug and does not want to listen to serious things. they listen to sweet songs and it is completely serious. they write in social networks, i sleep better, but by sleeping to

sweet songs, we do not solve the problem, you know after during the second world war, in the ussr, this was called velikaya otechestvennaya, and some 20 years ago, in soviet films, watermen were shown as rare idiots, you know. and only in the middle of the 60s did they begin to change this image to an adequate one. in the first days of the war, the public space of our country is forbidden information about the fact that the russian army is a gathering of degenerates, moreover, hungry and intimidated in spirit, it was partly true, but only partly possible, the price of a part of the unit that entered ukraine . further and only the courage and heroism of ukrainian soldiers saved kyiv and allowed them to push the orks in the north abroad despite the fact that now putin's soldiers in our armed forces have greatly crushed and

they decided their main continent is being replenished, they are not the best now uh but but they have powerful missile artillery support so far, the pvk wagner has not appeared and the situation has become tense again and we see it, the situation in our country is quite difficult, that is why misleading society by immersing in a warm emotional bath is decide on our way to victory and increase losses in this war before us is a real enemy and we must speak he is real insidious strong in front of us in essence if in essence deep essence understand these are anti-cycle forces that have nothing human and for them the price of life does not exist, moreover, it is not worth discarding such an argument as fanaticism is certain there and the phenotype of the population is a fanatic of these people who are currently present in the war, it is like fanaticism is knocked out by the armed forces from their consciousness, but it is a long process, that's why all factors require a counter -response, and a non-linear one,

we have absolutely no options in this war. we have one option, we have to win, otherwise we are doomed to destruction , we are all already forced to thank you, very good comments, thank you, we will communicate, we will to include you in the conversation, because it is important to really know information and to be able to speak with society, first of all valery the king, the head of the center for communication content security, they talked about how you know it is sweet and reassuring not to mislead people, but to talk about the war as it should be talked about this is what serhii naev , lieutenant general, deputy chief of the general staff of the armed forces of ukraine and commander of the joint operational headquarters of the armed forces of ukraine says - this is his fresh comment on the situation in the east, let's listen the situation in the areas of hostilities remains difficult, but it is controlled by the armed

forces of ukraine in the kharkiv and zaporozhye areas. our forces are strengthening the defenses in the donetsk and especially in the luhansk regions of the enemy . in the ring of our troops, the military command takes comprehensive measures to adequately respond to the stated intentions of the enemy, our defenders at the cost of their own lives and health deter enemy offensives and do even the utmost to maintain defense in the direction of enemy forces' offensive. this is not easy at all. we

must realize that the daily exploits and heroism of our soldiers are the key to sustainable defense, but we are clearly aware that the enemy continues to accumulate additional forces and means, so we will do your business as the learned on our side have the truth and strength of spirit, well, mr. serhiy, let's give you your summary and his statements in general today in the military aspect . says that in addition to courage, training, mmm , we have weapons, we have the potential to really hold back the enemy's attacks and win this war, these things are realized by each of our

citizens, each of our military personnel. i think that this is just the platform on which our country stands and will stand. by the way, today we talked about the downed russian su-35 plane by the ukrainian beig 29 in the kherson region, and the anti-aircraft fighters of the 95th air mobile brigade shot down the russian k-52 in the kharkiv region, this is the so-called alligator also their modern aircraft is like that there, well, it’s already in good shape, so in my opinion, well, it will come to the territory of russia, and by the way, today these terminators were fired at from our artillery, so in fact, the continuation of the destruction of weapons under the rubric of analogues continues, let’s say so without question, and i i always think that very often information appears like this in kherson, there was an explosion, if there are constant explosions there, well, the city is occupied by the russians, it's a sabotage there, they are doing something on our side, or what could it be, i think that everyone has a message there is, let's say, a certain history that needs to be sorted out

, but in any case, we understand that our special operations forces are operating in the kherson region and there is a resistance movement that does not allow the occupier to sleep. by the way, they are very creative there. er, our partisans in the kherson region put up different leaflets and every time there they either go once two three four five i go to look for you there as if to this russian occupier and there i don't know where you are there or something else we will come, well in a word no they are allowed to live there peacefully and not long may they live there peacefully serhii zgurets vasyl winter i say goodbye to you until tomorrow mr. serhii see you sunday well and now for your attention a news release from my colleagues from the ukrainian editorial office of bbc news let's watch together good evening we from ukraine are fierce fighters donetsk russians are trying to attack in the raisin direction on the air of bbcinema
