to say this on the air of the espresso tv channel and i hope that i will have such an opportunity. ukraine in the war with russia defends its independence and democracy. freedom of speech is its fundamental value. it is unacceptable that in ukraine, as in russia, there should be censorship and restrictions on free media. return the espresso tv channel to the air. news time on the espresso tv channel in the studio of iryna koval welcome to draw conclusions early in the morning fierce fighting is going on in liman the situation is difficult yes deputy minister of defense hanna malyar commented on the statement of the occupiers about the alleged capture of the city by the russians, according to her, the situation often changes during the confrontation, the official once again advised to trust

only verified information from the general staff and the ministry of defense of ukraine in the donetsk region, they stopped work at the slavyansk thermal power plant , they informed the donbas energo mykolaivka, where the company is located, under constant artillery fire for the past three months due to enemy shelling, the station had to be stopped for the safety of the personnel , the workers provided production throughout the war of electricity, specialists and their families will now be evacuated from chornobyivka as a result of enemy rocket fire, a 33-year-old man was killed and six more people were wounded, a russian projectile hit a private house under its rubble and a body was found, the kherson regional prosecutor's office said, investigators have started criminal proceedings for the violation the laws and customs of war combined with intentional killing, the situation at the front remains

difficult in the kharkiv and zaporizhzhia directions , our armed forces are strengthening defensive lines instead, in the donetsk and luhansk regions, the occupiers are preparing for new offensives. this was reported by the lieutenant general of the armed forces of ukraine, serhiy nayiv. every day and every night, they are building up forces and means to carry out the tasks of entering the designated areas with a further attempt to encircle our troops of our defenders at the cost of their own lives and health deter enemy offensives and do everything even beyond their means to maintain defense in the direction of enemy forces' offensive, the situation in kherson oblast is not stable in many

territorial communities lack electricity and water supply, gas supply is also suspended. the kherson regional state administration writes about this. according to local reports, the most difficult situation in the chernobaiv and stanislav communities has resulted in the deaths and injuries of more than 2,000 civilians evacuated from the vysokopol community by their own efforts. kyrylo nayrusov announced the closure of the borders of the kherson region with ukraine, another lie from the russians the ministry of defense of the aggressor country was informed about the alleged ukrainian fighter mig-29, but these words were refuted by the mayor of the southern city volodymyr nowatskyi, he noted that in the area of ​​the populated place about which the russians say that the planes were shot down, there was no information that a

ukrainian plane was shot down by the russians and so on it's all fake, it's all false, use only reliable information, everyone will be taken to serve in the russian army under a contract, people will be able to until the end of the working age for women, it's 60 years for 65 men, the relevant law was signed by the president of russia, vladimir putin. previously, russian legislation provided that citizens under the age of 40 and foreign citizens under the age of 30 have the right to conclude the first contract for military service. russian inhumans continue to rape women, but now the sbu has intercepted another the conversation of a russian soldier with his wife, who works in the law enforcement agencies of the russian federation, according to her, rape cases

became more frequent when the rotation of soldiers from other countries began regions in belgorod, don't hit it hard, a fork is a serious testimony, it's shorter somewhere, i met a military man, uh, they went for a walk, but they didn't think of it as a couple, but he didn't come, that is, 15 people were hiding there with a valid ukrainian passport on the border with belarus, they detained a former russian soldier, he tried to illegally enter ukraine was reported to the state border service by a ukrainian man, but he received russian citizenship in 2009 , later became a conscript in the russian army, and then continued his service under a contract. he was in

why did the 20th separate motorized rifle brigade, which took part in military operations in donbas, try to cross the border, the law enforcement officers do not disclose, in the end, the man is already under guard, awaiting trial, he faces up to 15 years behind bars with the possibility of confiscation of property, they were not allowed to go on a business trip of the 5th president petro poroshenko was not allowed to cross the border with poland twice, he was supposed to go on an official business trip as part of a delegation, and he had an order from the chairman of the verkhovna rada, ruslan stefanchuk, as the reason for the refusal. the border guards called the problem with by confirming the validity of the permit document in european solidarity, the law enforcement officers had no reason to refuse poroshenko's departure, it is very unfortunate that today three specific border guards who were clearly instructed by the president's office did not just prevent

petro oleksiyovych from legally representing ukraine at the nato parliamentary assemblies, but also prevented new agreements about the supply of weapons hindered the strengthening of the state, the people's deputy of ukraine should guard the state border of ukraine, the people's deputy ukraine is not a military obligee petro poroshenko went on a business trip based on the order of the chairman of the verkhovna rada together with other members or other members of the delegation, all of them were released except petro poroshenko without giving any reasons the national bank is going to protect the ukrainian military from the collectors of the nbu asks the verkhovna rada to during the period of martial law and for six months after its termination, to prohibit the collection of overdue debts of the ukrainian military, it will not be allowed to call the military, send them messages to seek a personal meeting in the event of a violation of such norms, the regulator suggests

applying appropriate measures to business people, an excavator for the village of makariv was purchased by the ferr company expo kostyantyn zhivago, utility equipment that was damaged in the community by the occupiers because the local budget could not afford a new transport for help. they turned to benefactors one more month that's why makarov looked like a drake still of an urban type in the kyiv region. it was blocked by russian troops for more than a month. enemy rocket attacks and airstrikes damaged 40% of the village. thank you to the defenders of ukraine today, makariv is full of life, however, recovery is complicated by the blow that the occupiers inflicted on the community, businesses and farms, funds to the local budget almost do not come, utility equipment was also damaged, it is an excavator that belongs to our

utility company, it was destroyed, well, it was partially destroyed as a result of mortar attacks, he covered the generator in the hospital, which ensured the vital activity of this hospital at the time when there were still doctors there and were wounded, i.e. he fulfilled his function at that time, but suffered very large damages, in order to receive state support and even assess the damage, time and funds are needed, which are not enough to bring the community to order, to remove construction debris or collapsed buildings, new equipment is needed, so the local authorities began to turn to benefactors we applied and immediately received feedback. it was er. it was the ferrex charity fund. now we have already delivered a tractor to our company, which has been performing its tasks for a week and every day we we take no less than 200 cubes of construction waste

to the landfill, that is, we gradually bring our community step by step to the state it was in before the war, a brand new excavator, a loader, the utility workers quickly mastered it, the driver serhiy says that it is very comfortable to drive such a vehicle, it is easy to drive, it is easy to drive, no, there is no air conditioning, well, i am comfortable i notice very well here that the local authorities hope that soon the community will have the appearance of pre-war times, but there is still a lot of work ahead and without the help of philanthropists and the unity of ukrainians a new life is not necessary here, despite everything, a deer was born in the odesa zoo, the director of the zoo, ihor bilyakov, told the director of the zoo, they decided to name the baby bambi, the newborn is eating well, and already goes for a walk with his mother in the summer, visitors to the zoo will be able to see the new inhabitant of the enclosure with their own eyes, the deer is not

the only new inhabitant of odesa the zoo is currently experiencing a baby boom, says the director of games bilyakov and we believe in victory and thank our armed forces of ukraine and of course we are waiting for an updated news release less in less than an hour and now my colleagues mykola veresen and anzhelika sezonenko will say hello to you wait literally in a moment watch our espresso channel news and euro espresso programs for ukrainian refugees in europe co-broadcast with the atp channel radio svoboda programs voice of america time-time programs on the air journalists of public television, bbc news ukraine and france 24, as well as the broadcast of the information marathon, the only news, together we are a force, glory to ukraine

, february 24, the date that changed us, the date that changed the world and now what we are most interested in is our victory, when we will defeat the enemy, how to predict the course of the war , the saturday political club program returns to the espresso airwaves to help understand the events and predict the consequences that on saturdays vitaly portnikov and maria gurska will discuss the most relevant to draw appropriate conclusions, you want to know how things are happening today will affect our tomorrow, see the saturday political club that saturdays espresso good health to all this is mykola veresen angelika sezonenko no vice versa angelica sezonka in the first place, then mykola veresen, we congratulate everyone and immediately to the kharkiv region, to the deputy head of the kharkiv regional military

administration, mr. roman semenokhin, mr. roman, can we hear you, what do we see, we see you, what do you see us? good health, i hear you well, i see you thank you, glory to ukraine, but now there are explosions in kharkiv at night today, the question is not even about the consequences, probably the consequences are not very pleasant, as always during the war, but according to your feeling, because otherwise you won’t ask here, er, russia is preparing for new attacks on kharkiv is it that simple? irritation to sow such uncertainty among ukrainian citizens that you think it is possible to attack the russian army again. mykola, firstly, i am glad to see you. this is kharkiv and northern kharkiv region and southern

kharkiv region - this is actually a raisin and a raisin , and to date, from what we see, we see all the activities of the enemy not only on the territory of the northern and kharkiv region, but on territory of the belgorod region of the kursk bryansk region, and i will tell you that today there is a threat to kharkiv from the point of view of its encirclement, there is no such threat to kharkiv today . why is there shelling because during this week, e.e., the city authorities, in particular, launched the subway, all stations, almost almost without exception , there, with rare exceptions, launched the public ground transport is becoming more and more minibuses and trolleybuses and buses, and that is why we believe that what the enemy is doing, and in particular the heavy shelling the day before yesterday in my native shevchenkiv

district, where i am currently a deputy of the regional council, i think that this was done absolutely deliberately there in order to intimidate people to fewer people returned to kharkiv, so that fewer people were today, you know, if you had the power to restore business, turn jobs around which every day there are more and more people in kharkiv, more and more people feel the effectiveness, that is, you know, this is a bit of a strange reality, on the one hand , foreign transport works for us, on the other hand, even artillery, modern russian lottery artillery, reaches targets more than 20 km away. what you are saying and what many people with whom i communicate these days are saying from different parts of ukraine, some new tactics, tactics of such constant irritation , intimidation, er, creating some kind of nervousness, this

everywhere i feel when and even here in lviv, where the far west, as it were, of ukraine, it is also felt here, this kind of effort by the enemy may not come, but let it be understood that the war is far from over , you also have the same feeling. the russians do not hit military targets when they shoot at kharkov, this is exclusively an intimidation tactic, in fact, the creation of such a conditional, you know, gray zone, which is already starting, as far as i am concerned, from within the belgorod region, including kharkiv, because well, you see the message and in a separate settlement almost every day in the belgorod region, this is the creation of a gray zone where it is impossible to fully return to life, to create a business or to restore a business, to attract people there, of course, especially with small ones, some are connected there, that is, they cannot return to kharkiv without children there, of course they do not

return therefore, the goal is exclusively a military goal at the moment. i don’t see this, mr. roman. please tell me about the evacuation of people, how many are currently willing to leave? did you notice that a certain part is returning to kharkiv oblast and to kharkiv directly. however, it is possible . it was during a relative calm, if you can call it that. and now the situation has changed. i saw that ukrzaliznytsia is appointing evacuation trains. it is possible that the local authorities are also solving the issue thanks to buses there or evacuating people in some other way. that peak, let's say the evacuation of the need for evacuation, it should be thanked objectively for the adequate reaction of the ukrainian railway ukrzaliznytsia, do you remember this photo that became popular all over the world when on the platform standing there, well, thousands of people, this was just a picture from kharkiv from the first platform of the central railway station, it happened somewhere in the 3rd week,

probably after the start of the war, at the moment this should not be repeated, we are observing, we are fixing, on the contrary , let’s say remigration to the city of kharkiv where there is a need, you know that the armed the forces of ukraine liberated there about 23 pozolos, a little more population centers, i say this cautiously, how many population are the centers that even where there are armed forces are very often further there, the threat to the civilian population is no less they liberated more than two dozen large enough settlements there near kharkov and when you enter well, i mean, the armed forces of ukraine enter the settlement, we meet the moment when a large population of ukrainian citizens simply, well, it can't be broadcast like that, but live, rather, yes, on the air but they just come out in droves because people who lived in the occupation seem to me to be very often more frightening than people who are on permanent duty and these people need immediate evacuation regional military administration implements

measures we have, let's say, locations in order to temporarily accept these people and provide them with medical assistance, i will tell you that often this is not even medical assistance, just psychological assistance , human assistance of the great ukraine and the provision of food and first medical aid, this situation is observed here, in fact, when we release the population points in the northern and north-eastern directions, we transport people to, let's say, more comfortable and safer places, as far as possible in ukraine, in principle, we transport them in that district the regions where they are located sleep soundly and do not hear anyone, not a word from moscow at night, one more question, roman. well, as i understood . maybe i am wrong, but i would not like you to refute me in kharkiv and its surroundings, water, gas , electricity, shops, pharmacies and hospitals, everything works

more or less, well, i understand how everything more or less works during the war, well, i have a very simple question. if i came there, i would because there would be somewhere for us to drink beer with you, that is, the establishments where you can eat and drink beer are also working, no vodka, no, god, harrows and let's talk on the phone as far as i know, the partner is strong in lviv, they don't sell it, and the park is not for sale, but some pharmacy chains are working, almost all supermarket chains are working. well , the second and third weeks were probably the most difficult, and we are very grateful to the world, you catch us, we call it that oblasts of ukraine, central ukraine, western ukraine, ukrainian diaspora, it was probably the most difficult moment, when part of the grocery stores did not work, and it was very important to keep a plus, we do not forget about the various

humanitarian, in particular, the initiative of the president for each and every citizen, since six years ago, if there were no problems, pharmacies work, hospitals work, transport works, there are definitely problems, well, kharkiv knows, i will use the vernacular in these areas, the most affected areas are the northern saltivka, this is the administrative kyiv district and a little of the moscow district of the former moscow district, saltovskoye is already the administrative name of the district, and there were problems with light and with all communications, as a matter of fact there were also problems in the area of ​​a part of the district of the kyiv district, this is in the vernacular, the district of pyatikhatok. there were problems there, there really was no light for about 40 days or more. currently, the light and water supply have been restored there, and in most of the mobile communication, i will say more that it is only being released a village or a settlement or

a settlement eh already exists, you know the developed algorithm, a humanitarian goes there mobile communication thank you that the mobile operator has introduced internal roaming and using certain instructions and even if there is no light, but the mobile communication of at least one operator appears. this makes it possible to cover the mobile ukrainian mobile communication there . well, for example, the last time we did this in the village of stary saltiv, even near a large reservoir that was liberated by the armed forces of ukraine, and maybe the last question, mr. roman, some people i met on my life's path claimed that in kharkiv, kharkiv is so pro-russian there, where there are a lot of people who speak the russian language, russian culture, in general, go to moscow, the mood

has changed in these three months, more than three months, according to your observations, is the same number of pro- moscow supporters, if it was true before the war, remains for the present if mr. mykola, may i add a little question so that you can answer it right away, because it also relates to this topic , one ukrainian was sentenced to 15 years in prison in kharkiv precisely because he, well, for the state treason, he betrayed the positions of the armed forces of ukraine, or there are many traitors among the officials directly in kharkiv or kharkiv, so that as of 2 weeks ago, the regional prosecutor and the prosecutor general reported that more than 10 suspicions under the article of treason were issued in the kharkiv region, this is primarily this applies to the liberated or still occupied villages and towns of the

kharkiv region, moreover, we had a session of the regional council about 1.5-2 weeks ago, as a deputy of the regional council asked when finally the regional prosecutor's office will issue a charge of suspicion against the former people's deputy of ukraine, who was announced as the main irka as a potential candidate for the city of kharkiv, but in general, believe me. well, what i can say on the air is that the regional prosecutor's office is taking all measures in order to hand over a charge of suspicion to him, and work is constantly underway after identifying collaborators, i will tell you this, moreover, when a village is liberated, for example, in peacetime near kharkov, a thousand people lived in the village there. when a village is liberated and our special services interrogate those people who were in the occupation, it is definitely you they tell terrible things, but people in half an hour tell everything who helped the russians, who helped , who handed over lists of ukrainian activists, who handed over lists of those people who fought in the anti-terrorist operation

and so on, that is, everything becomes known instantly, and even answering to the question: is kharkiv pro-russian or pro-ukrainian, or are there people left with pro-russian shit? it’s hard for me to say , i’ll tell you yes, mykola, when when is a rocket or er artillery flying into a private house? there , i see an outspoken supporter of the russian measure i don't want to name many people. the world is changing inside instantly, and i think that by the fact that kharkiv has been there for more than 90 days, we have definitely proved the right to be a ukrainian city. the military administration was in touch with you about the victories. take care of yourself and take care of yourself and take care of the people of kharkiv. well, what can we go further to the military experts?

of the region let's go to the whole situation on the fronts, we have a military expert mykhailo myself and the deputy director of the center for the study of the army conversion and disarmament mr. mykhailo and glory to the heroes i congratulate you and there is no desire to name the center for the study of the army conversion and armament and not disarmament i think the name for this the moment is quite strange , disarmament and i agree, but you know valentina, a laborer, water, yes, i saw a great specialist, my respect, how much they insisted on me he does not agree, i wanted to spend a long time, but to say study of the army banning conversions and armaments somehow, well, okay, look at the year 99, even then it was a memory. yes, i remember, look, mr.

mykhailo, the question is how stable is the front, because even the day before yesterday i was a little worried, yesterday much less, and the day before yesterday i was reading summary i saw that there are problems in luhansk region in donetsk region, the problems are quite serious, how much should i worry because again then, as they say in ukraine, again for a fish of money because yesterday i already heard the same thing that i heard two weeks ago they are trying to break through them they are not allowed to break through, they give a decent repulse and they lose their weapons, they lose their personnel and so on and so on and so on and so on. now we can talk about that region of luhansk region of donetsk region. the russians tried to break through the front uh,

break through uh, and in five or six directions now, for example, if you look at the map, there is such a glove right in the raisin area, you can see it, but there, uh, they just choked ukrainian the armed forces stopped everything there, in principle, the offensive turned out to be the same, they tried to do the same thing now in the popasna liman area of ​​north donets, that is, they started active assault and offensive actions, but in a couple of days they stopped again and expired and so we see very similar reports when they talk about the danger of severodonetsk, that ukrainian troops are stopping them, but they continue to advance at the same time . and there is a specific political goal that seems to be very close to them. that is, it is possible to report to putin that

we liberated the so-called lpr, because you know that 95% of the luhansk region is currently under occupation. that's why it's not a military task - it's a purely political task. if you can talk about frontline news like that. what's new? if you're asking about the front, it's a ukrainian counteroffensive . e gulyaipolya that is, there is little information so far. and i think it is good because the ukrainian troops do not say much about it, but i hope they do a lot. have not yet carried out a particularly counteroffensive, because it supposedly means in terminology that most

of the territory must be conquered, recaptured or deoccupied, i don’t know how to say it correctly in military terminology, what do you say or really was carried out by the ukrainian military or is being carried out now. as you mentioned, counteroffensive. is it still a counterattack? well, here, in fact, the situation is this. it is a counterattack operation - it really is already operational level and the definition there is such that it is agreed on the time and place of actions and so on, and here is the counterattack -step actions are really tactical actions. that is , we can truly say that ukrainian troops within the framework of a general operation are conducting contrasting actions in some directions. that is all , that is, we can really say that in the a full-scale operation has begun to be carried out in kherson, it is really a slightly different scale, now counter-strike actions are being carried out, if the terminology is correct, it is absolutely correct, see also mr. mykhailo
