greatly improve the logistics of the russian troops , secondly, this is a direct road to the kyiv-kharkov dovzhansky highway, which is important for the supply of the armed forces of ukraine, about 14 km to it, if the russians go to this highway, they will cut off the supply of several ukrainian groups, thirdly, behind this highway, there is another node of the ukrainian of defense, the city of sloviansk for the fourth time, with the capture of the estuary, the tension in the direction of siversk bakhmut, however, on this way, the russian troops will face two obstacles this is a river siverskyi donets and the frantic resistance of the ukrainian army russia tried to take the small town of liman for more than a month in the past day according to the general staff, the kremlin lost 150 of its soldiers in ukraine and in donbas it got rid of five artillery systems about the situation in liman we will continue to talk with us by phone oleksandr zhuravlyov, the mayor of the estuary, my

greetings to you, please explain. the estuary is currently occupied, there is no such information, but some territories are occupied . you know that the territory is still under the control of the ukrainian military, so the press services of the military will give you better information about this. and where are you? you are not in the estuary. well, you ca n’t be there. they are on the territory of oleksandr. how are people there? there are already some civilians left on today yes , there are about 7-7.5 thousand civilians

left in the city, they are in storage facilities, they are in the basement. and what about you, as the city head? yes, there is no mobile connection with them at the moment, but people who find a place go out and we talk and what they say is happening in the city, they really follow the breadwinners and ask if they want to evacuate, but at the moment there is no such possibility, there is absolutely no way to leave properly and deliver humanitarian aid there, it was also possible to deliver it there thanks to the national emergency service -when people were evacuated, they drove there in empty buses with

cargo assistance back according to the rules. voluntarily, there is no such information at the moment . well, what do you think, how can the situation develop further? there is hope that liman will be released, they will fight back, yes, everyone has this hope, but zhdemon. we hope that they will be released from the city itself, well, from the estuary, yes. well, when he destroyed my house then left. and when was it? it was sometime at the end of april. they didn’t come back. at first, he was a lawyer nearby and successful and was involved in evacuation of the population, delivery of humanitarian aid and food

. you said that the city remains close. 7,000 people, you have an idea of ​​the conditions in which they are there, and you know when i was engaged in evacuation. i literally last visited the city, well, since sunday, 5 days ago. i saw exactly what they were like. when there is no light, there is no water, e- when food comes here, food is prepared on the grill, it is very difficult to look at it, but at the same time, you claim that the city is not occupied, there is no information, not from the police chief, not from the security service of ukraine , so i don't understand, i know that not all of this territory the united states of america

fears that ukraine may attack russian territory using the latest weapons obtained from the allies, according to the reuters news agency , citing american military personnel and diplomats provide ukraine with the latest advanced weapons, washington held talks with kyiv about the danger of escalation if kyiv strikes on russian territory, reuters notes, such discussions are reported journalists are behind the scenes and do not advertise in public , at the same time reuters notes that the united states does not yet want to impose clear geographical restrictions on the use of its weapons by the ukrainian military. meanwhile, with reference to own sources, it is reported that joe biden's administration plans to provide ukraine with a new batch of weapons in particular , modern rocket systems of salvo fire, that is exactly what mykhailo podolyak was talking about recently on our broadcast, which uh, and thanks to them,

experts say that a turning point in the war may come with these systems proud are capable of launching missiles hundreds of kilometers further than any other analogues available in ukraine and they are needed in particular for unblocking the black sea, contact us taras zoftenko, an expert on national security issues, candidate of political sciences, we are your greetings. i will only add that douglas lyud , the former us ambassador to nato and a retired lieutenant general of the army, he also noted that there is a risk of escalation and, he says, a risk of a political split within nato if ukraine makes any strikes deep into russia, the american weapons, let's discuss it in detail, who is afraid of what, well, in fact, this last comment contains the key. so, to this situation, the key to understanding where such fears came from in the first place. and accordingly, why did they start

talking about them right now? the general context of this situation is such that just a few weeks ago , the minister of defense of great britain and the minister of foreign affairs of britain and registration spoke about the fact that the military targets of the russian federation located on the territory of russia absolutely legal targets in the border zone , yes, absolutely legal targets for a-a strikes from the ukrainian side if this is done in order to reduce the combat capability and offensive potential of the russian units located on the territory of ukraine, that is, in principle, the tools it is in this context that they have already been outlined, in fact the only thing that is obvious from washington's side is the city's allies, so in that context, to explain to them on the one hand what is wrong with ukraine well, so to speak, work is being done on that

so that we have in mind only these legal goals for such strikes in order to actually make it easier for ourselves to liberate our territories and nothing else actually i think that these statements for how long washington is so well , if the question is to limit the ukrainian side in some rabbits, because you can be more than sure that taking into account the international support that the united states provides us, we and washington are as synchronized as possible both in military aspects and in political aspects most likely, these statements are primarily addressed to the european ally of the usa, panado, in order to keep the europeans calm in the context of the imminent transfer of such heavy, serious weapons for which washington is actually ready at this moment er, they already say directly that er this will happen with, let's say

, maximum caution on the american side and with maximum weight to any risks of potential escalation, because well, we understand that european allies from the championship are afraid of first of all, this can be explained in more detail to people, in particular, who may not be related to the military, but are interested in the topic of what weapons ukraine is waiting for, and what is happening now, in particular, in the donbass, which is also absent due to the lack of any weapons that ukraine has not yet waited for in fact, yes, we are now waiting for three main items from the list that we added. systems well one from the types of artillery, yes, because there are two types of artillery in general - it is created by artillery, and in fact these weapon samples are all systems, we have already received them, the well-known m-77 artillery systems, and they are

now showing themselves very well in the fund in the fight against all teams but in fact we need more powerful er more long-range er reactive systems of salvo fire and here we are talking about er two key systems that we are asking the united states of america to provide us this er mls mother ilon chuvakin system m270 and chymas e these are two e-e reactive salvo fire systems with a capability of about 100 km to a standard bayazarya and they also have packages with charges up to a range of up to 300 km. that is, it actually remains up to the parameters of a cruise missile. it is clear that if all the receiving these weapons allowed us to radically change the situation at the front, because we will be able to destroy russian troops that do not approach the contact line and to the line of contact and

in fact, in this way, we will make it easier for ourselves to defend ourselves first, and guess what we are putting make it easier to plan offensive operations uh, the second moment we expect is uh, anti-ship missile systems, and here after the game of the rammstein round, we have good news from denmark, which agreed to allow us to uh, change the balance of power in the south of ukraine well and, accordingly, to effectively counter e-e with the ships of the black sea fleet of the russian federation, and the third point is no less important - it is the air defense system of the petriv air-launched missile complex, which also e-e in the united states began to speak seriously and loudly after the biker signed this additional budget of 40 billion dollars in support

of ukraine, well, these are the three main points. secondly, provide us with offensive potential in the future to liberate our territories from the russian invaders, military analysts say that luhansk, we started with it on the air, may be completely taken over in the coming days. please tell me, do you share these forecasts ? to say er well, let's say 100% accurate, because if we are talking about forecasts that concern the motor-operational level, yes, that is, er, the moment that is connected with the control of a-a specific settlements, yes, either by the ukrainian side or by er-e russian aggressors, in principle , taking into account the dynamics of the battles that are currently taking place here, the process, well, at a certain point, we may lose control over some populated areas, at a certain point in time, we can either knock out the russians or seize control and keep other settlements so that is, well in fact, now, in this mode,

it is actually very difficult to predict, because, well, there is a very high intensity of combat clashes taking place now. well, in fact, the russians have concentrated on all directions, that is, on the eastern direction, the south has moved a little bit away now, in fact, hmm , as if on the second plan is because the black sea fleet is being disbanded there and if there is a question about compensation for the losses of the russian fleet from the loss of the flagship moscow, but in the eastern direction the russians have concentrated to the maximum and they are at a rather slow pace but they are trying to cut off the edges of our territory, so to speak these events, but the main thing that we

must remember here is that even if there will be moments that will be brought with the fact that our troops will leave in certain directions we must remember that this is done primarily in order to save a-a our fighters to preserve equipment and accordingly accumulate potential in order to eventually return all territories with minimal losses for themselves but with maximum losses for the enemy . well, there are already a lot of such prime ministers, and just put a new staff there and it’s like just being there. thank you very much for your comment . radio svoboda residents of kherson and the region reach lviv by evacuation train from the occupied territory, people say that in order to leave

the territory under the control of ukraine, we have to wait for more than a month, what is the situation in kherson and the region now and how to get out of there, listen to those who managed to do it . we know, they don't even allow you to leave the house to at least go like this, she is a cattle herself, all walks around the village, who can train, who can milk, how did you manage to leave on may 2, we are quiet at night 4 lost, the townspeople went to the neighboring village. our priest is standing there. they mocked them so much, and one day they said, "if you don't work for us, they know the clubs. we're talking here, dubenko. i'll excuse you in the back." you work well, when he was released, he came to our

soldiers, we told everything because he already because they can then work for them, well, these are the things that we have before the occupation, it was a very good city, let's take bathers, it was difficult of course, all the shops are closed. i only managed to manage the name. even the bread was there. where were you watching ? of course, and then we already occupied the city. we would stop talking. in general, it was impossible to enter the city . well, for a whole month and a half, they waited for us to be lucky. that's where the planes and rockets started flying recently, we're sitting next to her, i'm so obliged, how are these rockets flying, i can't speak, she

's sitting, and the moms were here, and he surprisingly needs us. age is like that uh, it’s somehow nikolay, they saw him all the time why did they take him out, i’m already asking the whole thing we ’re near chernobaevka and that’s why we can hear everything, everything can be seen, we drove in, played yesterday, bathed, what’s next, we didn’t know russian, we played, how did you manage to leave, oh, oh, well we have volunteers from above who help to squeeze for free. we filled out an application and they helped me go through zaporozhye . more precisely, there were a lot of roadblocks through vasylivka.

an example should be sought. well, if you compare kherson to the occupation, what does the city look like now, how does it live, what has changed for you, well, completely, another life in me. freedom , no one, everyone is afraid, it comes out because people disappear - this is the internet . they turned it off and on, but mostly, the internet is always present, and we watch news, information channels, we read all the news in telegram, and so on the russian tv channel, i decided to go there because, to be honest, i already i can't look at these signs i can't look at these eyes of these russians when you tell them we are us , don't you see that they say something bad to us no, you have a good one, we pass about 50 russian posts on which they say and why are you leaving , why are you leaving, it will be good for you, well, we traveled

with volunteers, so they are basically released if , uh, if people drive with well, just cars, then they may not be released into zaporizhzhia. the volunteers met them and put them in on the train, and we are here to remind the residents of kherson oblast, whose radio svoboda met at the lviv railway station well, the prime minister of great britain boresh johnson proposed to the president of ukraine volodymyr zelensky to create a new international alliance that will oppose russia and become an alternative to the european union, at least this is reported by the italian newspaper courier della sera with reference to unnamed sources model the european commonwealth that johnson is allegedly trying to create, the journalists write, defined great britain as the leader and included, in addition to ukraine, poland, estonia, latvia , lithuania and possibly turkey, contact us pavlo klimkin minister of foreign affairs of ukraine 14-19 years we are your greetings greetings greetings it seems that

boris johnson does not stop trying to become the leader of the european world, but since great britain is no longer in the eu, johnson plans to create some kind of alternative, what do you think about this initiative well, they are constantly something is planned, but a serious conversation can be started after we hear this proposal, so macron also went, er, he spoke before the parliament and some proposal about such a political commonwealth or something political communities well, at least it’s clear. who in paris is making this up? and in the case of johnson, let’s wait until the proposal. i am skeptical about the idea if it will be some kind of substitute or even opposition to the european union. the countries of the european union will definitely not agree to this today for many reasons. and security,

economic, and financial well, actually, on the issue of european identity, but what concerns the creation of a new central europe, a new structure that i would, for example, play here er and with a very with creative ideas like some kind of confederation of a completely new type, then the process of course you can talk well, but boris, you know, we have such a weirdo in a good sense, so first let's listen to what boris actually has to say and let's not read an example in italian newspapers, do you remember there was such a film, translation difficulties first of all, not only italian newspapers, many media write about the fact that boris johnson has problems inside the country, so maybe he is somehow trying to engage in large-scale geopolitical

activities. and secondly, you can see what countries are here all those countries that actually support ukraine in this war are mentioned, absolutely and completely, you can see here if the careers of denis, well, 100% - this is some kind of internal insight, i know about such discussions that are being held regarding the possible arc of a new one that will pass through the center continent and will connect in a completely new way to the countries that are loaded, e.e., the center of europe, which will reload what they sometimes like to call, but in a good sense, check, well, that is, pros, as a rule, you know, we are associated with some kind of kabochene, but here, in fact, the situation is completely different i only i am not very sure that i am again saying that the eu countries will

want to go to some kind of opposition to the european union for many reasons, because it is certain for them today, there is an anchor of stability of the rules of the rule of law and much more. but, nevertheless, it is fair for new ideas this is actually 101%. now there are a lot of them being discussed, uh, some of them are quite non-trivial, if you lead and fear, i like that this whole arc or compatibility or a new alliance, call it whatever you want , he will definitely not be a russian fan, that’s it that's 100%, and the fact that this new alliance will frankly not like putin's regime, i already like it, but again, as literally as it is written in the italian newspaper. well, here i have, as

they say, great doubts that this will not happen. do you remember how my grandmother used to say, she talked, she sat down and cried, but nevertheless, if we talk about the european union, there will be a summit in june, it is not known. countries remain france, italy, germany, hungary, where they do not share with ukraine the ultimate goal of this war, they do not share it to the end. the question is that they definitely do not want to let putin win. there is a concrete consensus about this. the italians in their own way, where in their own way, everything is normal here, but then the

disagreements really begin. there are disagreements. this does not mean that these disagreements will lead to the destruction of european atlantic solidarity. but nevertheless they are, and there is also a serious discussion about whether it is worth inflicting a strategic defeat on putin and the putin regime, and there are a lot of considerations starting from that. but someone wants to achieve a certain there is normality after the war with russia. well, with this or with the other, that is another matter . and if russia loses, what will be the destabilization, what will happen to the world system and so on, that is, in fact, those who are ready to jump out and looking at something completely new and jumping

out of a warm bath is still not so much. well, this offer for a career in social security shows that people around boas are ready. well, there, boris is being pressed for his various punctures in domestic politics, so parties, in particular, parties during the covid-19 well, this is really a very big puncture, well, for the prime minister of great britain, i just know even from my friends, they say, well, how is he? well, we were sitting at home here. so that combat is necessary i will try very hard to forgive him in the end . i don’t know the signal to the countries of the so-called old europe, what are you friends? look, there will be an eu summit at the end of june, if you don’t vote, you will lose ukraine too. and in general, here, as opposed to the european union, boresh

johnson can gather around ukraine and other friends this is actually a very serious story, and if the european union does not begin to load, i use this word absolutely deliberately, they say that in order to accept ukraine, we may need to change the institutions or the treaties establishing the eu well, if you need to, start thinking about it and start changing it, if you don't do it, you're actually doing so badly, and then the question may really arise about what is the european union in the 21st century, what is it like in the 20th century, there is an answer to that, well, really we understand what role the european union played why it was unique why it was innovative and now it is neither unique nor innovative although there are discussions and very interesting discussions and there are actually ways

to give a phenomenal push the european union just needs to gather courage and start discussing these ideas out loud . well, if this proposal still belongs to boris personally, then someone gathered courage outside the european union, it remains for someone to have the courage inside the european union, well, it would be good for us to come up with some ideas regarding this, it's the right time, i think it will be very, very worthwhile thank you pavlo klimkin minister of foreign affairs of ukraine 14th - 19th year kharkiv oblast prosecutor's office is investigating the death ukrainian volunteer volodymyr kotenko, most likely his car got into a meeting of russian tank colonies in march and was shot. volodymyr took his parents to kharkiv by himself despite the occupation. he traveled around the region and brought humanitarian aid to people. from one of these

exits, he did not return, a bone broke in his upper part. they made a mistake, maybe they took them to the hospital somewhere, and then i needed to tell them together that he tore the yakuza, and now we started to collect it, here was the skull with the spine some bones, and here are some pieces of the leg . because he had a leg, er, death

came instantly from this, only a few bones remained. rohan helped people from here, drove medicine, drove everything, that's it, that's what she volunteered to do, draw, don't worry, it's not the first time, we've already done so much. we do the work like this every day. it's clear i don't remember кто такой мужчина more candles about the war in ukraine watch on the channel radio svoboda ukraine and freedom life will return to the air on monday and in the meantime i urge you to subscribe to the pages of radio svoboda on the internet
