mines also flew there, the consequences of this shelling are not specified yet, well, that is, sumy and kharkiv and chernihiv oblast is not constantly under fire the entire border line so that we can disperse our forces and our attention well, there was simply panic. these are the enemy's methods. iryna koval. good morning. i greet my colleagues. in just a moment, i will tell you what is happening in different regions of our country, and in more detail, watch the eighth news in ukraine in the studio of iryna koval and time of news on the espresso tv channel. ukraine is on fire, the armed forces

are conducting an offensive in the south, the russian army continues to suffer losses the day before in kherson region, the enemy has retreated to andriivka lozovoy and biloghirka, instead, angry invaders are shooting in all directions in donbas, however, our soldiers are repulsing the enemy, the situation in luhansk region is particularly difficult, there are ongoing battles, i will tell you more about everything later in the issue on kharkiv's invaders are trying not to miss the advance of ukrainian troops to the border, the threat of missile strikes from the territory of belarus also remains, the enemy continues to experience losses, in particular, sanitary ones, which necessitates the creation of additional opportunities for providing medical aid, so over the temporarily occupied territories of the autonomous republic of crimea, the occupation administration ordered to stop

the admission of civilians in order to free up beds for the wounded, the collection of donor blood is intensively carried out before the arrivals, the factory was almost destroyed, said the head of the military administration oleksandr vilkul is also the head of the dnipropetrovsk regional military administration valentin reznichenko confirmed that two rockets hit an industrial enterprise. there were no casualties in a day. russian invaders shelled more than 40 settlements in donetsk and luhansk regions. in donetsk region alone, they destroyed and damaged 15 civilian objects. rashists de-nazified 14 residential buildings and a coke-chemical plant. at least three civilians died as a result of shelling. five more people were injured and the shelling in

luhansk region is not abating, the most intense in north donetsk, but the city under the ukrainian flag reported the head of luhansk you have serhiy gaidai, fighting continues in the villages on the approaches to the city near the bus station, the occupiers have not advanced beyond the hotel, according to the head of the military civil administration of north donetsk oleksandr styuka, the situation is extremely tense, the humanitarian headquarters did not open the door yesterday, it is dangerous to deliver food to the city, and water for the population extracted from wells in the city of moscow frivolously spends combat power to take north donetsk in case of tactical success there will be no significant or military economic benefit however, this will allow russia to declare that it has completely captured luhansk oblast, this is the opinion of the analysts of the american institute for the study of war

. severodonetsk is important for the russians because it is the last large population center in the region that they do not yet control, therefore the kremlin has withdrawn 25 battalion tactical groups under the city, that is more than 12,000 fighters, separatist plans now the collaborators are going to annex kherson oblast to russia next year, so to speak, for this they will consider holding a pseudo-referendum, such a vote the occupiers have already postponed several times until now they are planning to bring order there, the enemy gauleiter kyrylo nayrus has already voiced various annexation plans several times, so that a few weeks ago he asked vladimir putin to annex the occupied territories of the region to russia without any referendums, then the kremlin declared that the kherson region should become part of the russian federation as well in their opinion legitimately, as

was the case with crimea in 2014, a manifestation of weakness, volodymyr zelenskyy called the actions of the occupiers in the kherson region, where the russian military closed the exit and with the occupied part of the region under control ukrainian territory, moreover, the invaders do not agree openly, humanitarian corridors, those who are confident in their position definitely did not make such decisions unequivocally - this is a manifestation of weakness, the project that they have nothing to give to the people, and the people do not want anything from them, brother, that's why they try to take people hostage, but ukraine will return all its everything and this is a must and it is only a matter of time and every day this time, the time of liberation, it is shortened as a sign of support for finland , four nato ships arrived in helsingu, they took

part in large-scale exercises in the baltic sea and now they have entered the territorial waters of this country , according to the head of the ministry of defense antikai konen, the visit was agreed before finland decided to apply for nato membership, after all, the presence of the ships in the usa is considered by germany and france to be a powerful signal of support for the country, especially against the background of threats from the kremlin yesterday near finland, russia tested hypersonic rocket cerkon unmanned gift in lithuania collected more than 5 million euros per byraktar for ukraine and this was started by a leading opinion leader in just three days of the company andrus stapina, after such a purchase was previously agreed upon by the ministry of defense of lithuania and turkey, as well as the uav manufacturer itself, the initiative was also supported by the current and former president of lithuania and

local politicians, in order to collect more money, our father conducted live broadcasts with various speakers, money was transferred even from the hospice for of old women . thanks to poland, the ukrainian stand will operate under this slogan at the international book fair in your and in warsaw this year. our writers have prepared an honorable place in the program of events books are in demand at the fair and how ukrainian authors are respected in poland see further in the story 24 ukrainian publishing houses brought books to the international book fair in warsaw 5 ukrainian writers will speak at the events, in particular oksana zabuzhko during the inaugural lecture at the opening of the book fair in warsaw , the writer emphasized that she was moved because the ukrainians are actively supported by the poles, it looks like putin's invasion of ukraine with the clear goal

of destroying the country, just like hitler did in his time sought to destroy poland opened the polish collective memory a chest full of half-forgotten stories and made the half-healed wounds of the past bleed again about ten countries are participating in the event special guest norway but ukraine is in the center of attention and has an important place in the program as a sign of solidarity oksana zabuzhko at the opening ceremony holds the ikar award from the association of polish publishers and becomes the first non -polish author to receive this award after this is really not an exception because it is for us because it is an award for polish authors, and therefore this is in some way a recognition of this well, i don't know this open border and these very deep tectonic changes that are currently taking place between our two countries, this is an important line that is somewhere well, somewhere there, somewhere behind 12 points from poland at the

eurovision song contest for kalush somewhere this means icarus at the book fair for zabuzhku somewhere he too will someday be taken into account in some future stories of our victory of ukrainians at the fair a lot olya came to warsaw from the kherson region from a city occupied by russians the situation at home is very tense because of the troops, the girl says, but she is glad that she is still in touch with her relatives. today she came to the fair to support ukrainian. this is a significant event, and i really want to buy some ukrainian literature, because when i am far away, i know i want to see something native. in search of ukrainian literature here and representatives of charitable organizations, we came here to find ukrainian and polish books for children, that is, in this way, we take them to our foundation and after that if there is a book

information from ukrainian avtodor for ukrainian motorists near kyiv, traffic has been restored for trucks across the irpin river, this is the kyiv-zhytomyr highway, the completion of work is planned for autumn the left lane on the kyiv-chop road near the village, we can see the photos there, please show them in the kyiv region openly, the deputy head of the president's office, kyrylo tymoshenko, asked to inform you, so the movement of trucks on the zhytomyr highway was restored. span , span, for sure, build a monolithic span slab and lay a layer of asphalt concrete on the road, renew the markings and install road signs, he added tymoshenko, this is the bridge that this bridge across the irpin river was blown up in the first days of the russian invasion of ukraine, this prevented the occupiers from proceeding towards the capital, we

congratulate ukrainian motorists, here is this bridge once again, the kyiv-zhytomyr highway, this is almost the entrance to kyiv and always from the zhytomyr side, a huge the traffic jam is precisely because of the detour. this bridge is now one lane through the temporary pontoon, i.e. two, in fact two lanes of traffic in bikiev are open and it will be easier to work on the way out in sumy oblast. the bridge near trostianets was also blown up what a month it was during the occupation and it significantly helped the local residents and the armed forces of ukraine victor bondarenko from the sumy region is already joining us the head of the expert group of the policy analysis bureau from we congratulate you good health but we are not going to restore these bridges , as far as i have read, you have information. well, i think it was logical because we are in the front-line zone and no one has yet guaranteed anything , especially since the bridge, what is it called

? 25 km from the russian er border but we have there, for example, a bridge between er soum and bedin over the psel river, so there er it was not blown up, but only concrete blocks were pulled out. that is, it can actually be restored and not too expensive er although it is possible and stupid, how can the government manage to do it, you know how kyrylo tymoshenko decided in the office of the president in sumy oblast. so, two days ago, some border communities were returned to the list of territories where hostilities are taking place. because it is not all combined, it is was already in the region hostilities, although there is shelling every day and every night, there is shelling, and artillery from the border, and rocket

strikes, and skis across ukraine, but sumyshchyna is quite accessible to artillery, there are 30 km from us to sumy, but they didn’t say that you have to pay taxes, and despite this, well, private properties are being destroyed estates yesterday, this is putivl, a poultry farm is a private house, yes, it is a bilopol community, it is on the list, putylska is not on the list, but yesterday it came under artillery fire. how do you see it? well, because these people do not receive any help now compensation well, where yura, there is no war there, uh, well, that’s not quite the case, because really, uh, when uh, the war is going on there, and we even have soums flying around the neighborhood, and it’s arta. that is, we understand that the missiles are flying past us somewhere further to the west very often i have too , and the other day, three days ago, a rocket flew right over the house and the kitchen was barely visible there, er , but there pisarivska krasnopil community the same

trostyanetska, you already said bilopolska, er, znovgorodska, novoslobodska, putilska, and a bunch of dozens one and a half in glukhiv well, it's been a while when they were laying, they fell like coffins hung on trees well, they also saw the same thing, uh, that is, i think that these actions, first of all, why this is happening is because russia uh, is carrying out small, possibly small forces, and i, if small, someone is somewhere dropping some kind of squadron there, conditionally er-er, there are some hails there or artillery batteries that move from place to place and today tuba te-e that community was shelled tomorrow here the day after tomorrow te, creating the impression that the enemy is around er-e that we have to wait for an attack and in this way er -e distracting some significant forces of anti-terrorist defense because our anti-terrorist defense is right there under-under moved to the borders, but

we cannot pull it back and take it, let's say, somewhere near severodonetsk. because there are 290 km of the border here, 290 is more than only the belarusian border , and that's why, of course they are doing the same thing in chernihiv oblast, that is, they are closing in on some ukrainian forces. well, in order to create a numerical advantage under north donetsk, in fact, knowing very well that we will not go to their territory. if they did not have nuclear weapons, and ok, you advancing in front of the north donetsk region. and we were on our way. we can't afford it yet, including not knowing the reaction of the european leaders. they are creating a strategic initiative. they know that

here you can hold two batteries against our brigade and two more mortar batteries. yes , mortar batteries to a depth of 4-5 km, artillery to be there in 30 now, regarding the group, why can't we answer because a person, in particular, is written by name in the comments, which is very sad. you see how we are being fired upon and not being able to answer the same. well, this is a question for the higher political leadership, but i think that i'm sure that it's because, er, we, ukraine, er, are not yet ready to talk with the west about whether the ukrainian salad will cross the er, ukrainian-russian border, many people in the west will no longer perceive it as the defense of ukraine, and maybe we will stop help less well they will help less and we need help

, that's why we play this game, we leave now at the border with the russian federation, at the border they cross, well, there are dynamic moments, maybe they have a dog house there, our border guards also destroyed it with mortars or something, but well we understand that these are excesses, but in fact we do not go over to that side, and this is the principled position of the state, because this is the principled position of our allies so far. ukraine is waging a defensive war, but if we return to our communities communities, they should be included as well as those that are being fought in the combat zone, not all of them have settled there, there are many communities of population why because well, if you have a field 3-4 km from russia, then the tractor driver is afraid for the first time spring minus fly in and the second is afraid that he is just being shot here because he is there, well, in fact, in the reach zone there, in the usual, usual term, method,

all the fences left there to plant the usual ones and besieged the gardens, but yesterday my aunt was wounded under the road why because she got rid of them in the garden and here flew in. she was not informed that there would be shelling right now. human potential has been lost, that is , because people have left in the same krasnopilly and what is there, where it was occupied at the end of march, people who lived here have left now so that you know how many there are calls, people are asking how it is possible to move there further, so that the children, especially who, who has minor children, so that the children can study somewhere , they can even take them to a boarding school somewhere in lviv or in ternopil, if there are still people who are ready to send their people to a boarding school, so that they are not only here they leave from only men stay as mothers here to look after the houses, er, somewhere to dig gardens, we will have for the first time when the

men will be there, most of the men will spoil exactly what was considered a woman's business, but the women of many households have moved out to those whose er, children finish the 11th grade clearly there is no one already and they will not enter, but we will also have trouble at kharkiv universities, but also at sumy universities. we have a very strong one, you know anya sumy state university is better in the top five or all of ukraine. it will remain without students, without foreign students, they had there are up to 4,000 foreign students, no one will come, it is clear that no one will come from other cities, and it is clear that even the people of sumy will come. not here, but somewhere in the west of ukraine . this year, if they survive, then it is good for a lot of things, but now if we talk about state policy in general, i make a bold prediction, you

know my predictions . and i think that the western leaders will stop us, they are already shouting - they are shouting, well, you know the author of this quote, but uh, it's not about him, you can't criticize him. just stop shooting there, and i 'm sure that right now, the further we go, the more such quoters will be uh, that is, uh, the pro-russian agents of the professors are there, they will now ring all the bells, people will die, stop shooting, and ukraine will just be somewhere on the sidelines, on the sidelines, no one will directly say so as not to lose popularity and ratings in their countries, but in the sidelines there will be zelensky’s kulebu we don't go to germany in the crimea, let's not talk, do you mean you laid out his letter here, including, including, yes, and this author of the

well-known epistolary genre, he is yanukovych , it is for the internal use of russian and lukashenko, so that the russians understand, understand every time already and yanukovych lukashenka say that soon the poles will take us over, then it will probably be like that, so it means that our boys are dying for a reason, they save belarusians and crimeans and yes danes and in general all adequate people in ukraine, they think that they are adequate in in ukraine, these are the four percent who, according to our latest survey, still support putin, that is, 4%. these are the ones. probably, the reports give uh percentages. well, two in total in ukraine and four in the east and south. there is a regional difference. viktor, i wanted to ask you one more question. yesterday, i just monitored the information on the peculiar zaporizhzhia region and it turned out that in the melitopol district, which is now occupied by the russians of the zaporizhzhia region, the entire priazov department of the national police of the ministry of internal affairs betrayed the oath. and almost in full

went over to the side of the russian occupiers, now it is called the people's militia this is what their headquarters looks like, the headquarters of the traitors, the zaporizhia regional military administration reported on this, more than 35 employees of the department agreed to cooperate with the enemy. i think that this is the entire department, in principle, headed by the chief and deputy of the melitopol and azov department of the national police of the ministry of internal affairs. and how was it for you in sumy oblast ? and how should ukrainians generally treat such facts? i understand there are criminal cases and everything else. well, i think that this is not an isolated case, and the case will now begin there, and kherson region and zaporizhzhia region and luhansk region are possible and on and on and on and on. who is responsible for everything ? anyway, there should be an internal security service in the ministry of internal affairs, which of these people did i re-certify there, for sure, these documents about

their re-certification, who recommended them, who hired them well, someone should be responsible not only for these people, but also in the leadership of the service, for sure in sumy, i don't know about such cases. there, er, some community leaders went to er, there for partial collaboration, even for full collaboration. no one went, so that you understand that there we will hang three calories now , we are moving. we are already becoming such and such a community there . there we are joining there beautiful, there was no such case but we have a lot of uh, hmm, in the occupied areas well, where it was possible to retreat , they fled, some police departments, stations such as the ones blocked in sumy, part of them retreated on the first day of cherkasy there in including there is some kind of leadership there, but for example, the patrol police remained there and carried

their m-m er their and then they returned, no one ordered them, they were paid their salaries and even more than those of terbatov well, what else do we have a lot of jokes about here in sumy oblast, well, how who fought and how who received argentines for what, but in the meantime, another question is really to the security service, to which authorities of internal security in the ministry of internal affairs in the ministry of internal affairs. and as for melitopol, i am sure that not all of them, but the second is those who were caught there who could not get out. no, they did not think of retreating there somewhere in zaporozhye. well, they took them there, i think they specifically started working with them, and not only that, i think they were blackmailed through their families, you won't go there, and you won't go to the people's militia or the people's militia there, your family will write badly from home you

may not see your children and for many that is, it is not the ideological choice is not the choice of the russian world, it is uh, they are saving their own skins, uh, well, in the best case, they are saving their own families and children, and that is there. well, it is somewhere far away, but i still could not understand this, that is, children the women had to be taken out and we had to leave honestly. that is, we have to understand their choice and let them, so to speak, work there for the benefit of panda. i don’t agree . i swear i'm sorry for that military treason is 15 years each, it is called a state matter i agree with you now i will shoot the children, well, you
