in our house, i saw two armored personnel carriers following them along the parallel street, into which i jumped out and through the gate and looked, i saw what it was, what it was 6. i was scared because they were constantly shooting in the yards as they drove, and i thought that they were killing the population when i shouted for everyone to quickly get together and run delivery there are grass clumps and there they would n't have seen us and in the middle of the way shots rang out in the back mykola mykhailovych yaroslav's eldest daughter lagged behind her relatives a stream of blood flew out of her chest along with the bullet she screamed in kupala, i began to cover the wound with my hand, the soldiers ran up and started asking why we were running away. i said, well, you started shooting, we were running away, we wanted to escape. and

why did you shoot? clothes, the russian soldiers called her a saboteur, they said that she was wounded in the heart, she would die right now, but it wasn't in the heart, it was in the right side, we started asking them to help, well, their leader gave the command , they drove the armored personnel carrier, i jumped inside, we took her there they were delayed and the armored personnel carrier rushed to their position, i was not thinking about anything at the time. i was thinking about how to save my daughter, resuscitation at the positions of the occupiers did not help, his daughter died, and mykola mykhailovych himself was taken prisoner at the same checkpoint by the russian military for nine days, tied up with his eyes, during the frost, the door of the barn was opened by the russian military only when they were leaving

motyzhyn, the first thing on the loose mykolayovych found the death of his yaroslava, he says that she had a son, the national guardsmen, he took it as the husband likes it. i understand that it is difficult for him but he serves and will continue to serve as long as necessary the counteroffensive of the armed forces of ukraine in the kherson region is aimed at disrupting russia's efforts to create strong defensive positions, this is stated in a new report of the american institute for the study of war, military analysts believe that the ukrainian counterattack will probably not lead to the recapture of the territory in the near future but it will most likely disrupt russia's plans and force it to transfer reinforcements to kherson region, what is happening in the south of the country, let's talk further by contacting us serhii khlan, deputy of the kherson regional council, we greet you good evening from ukraine, glory to ukraine, you

know that in kherson oblast the occupier is really starting to transfer its reinforcements, there is information that a large number of tanks have arrived there, and the occupier is transferring reinforcements to kherson oblast, because our armed forces forces, you know, the long-awaited, but nevertheless, they went on a ponderous offensive, we have certain gains, just from the kryvyi rih side. this is where the fords, our armed forces advanced there for 9-10 km , driving a wedge into the enemy's position, breaking it was split into two groups while passing closer to berislav , uh, three days ago, a russian plane was shot down just uh, near kakhovka, and it killed the one in pan, when just the occupiers and the russian headquarters, which was located in nova kakhovka, were in a certain chaos there, our people accordingly, they celebrated because

this is exactly what the occupier is trying to do, that russia is here forever, that the ruble is there, that the ruble is part of russia, it still, er, acted on the consciousness of our citizens, er , you know, there was such a basis despair and it was precisely the counteroffensive of our armed forces that revived the hope of rejoicing from the kind of expectation that we would be able to win back the kherson region, maybe not in the near future, but still, the counteroffensive showed that we can press the enemy, we knocked him out of those positions that he had well equipped, and it was precisely from the side of mykolaivsk in the direction of uh, this is uh, there were reports last week that the russian army is so powerful that it is digging in the south, and they said that the russian army is already building a third line of defense, and

just this counteroffensive showed that even the third the line of defense cannot save them, we knocked them out of those three lines of defense, they moved, er, to positions that are not actually equipped, they are starting to dig out again, which means that even the concrete one that they announced that the concrete factories work in three shifts and pour fortifications, we saw that thanks to those weapons that began to arrive, we can knock out the occupier from that concreted e stands concreted line of defense, we knocked them out, they are beginning to be covered again, our armed forces continue to attack, it just shows that we can knock out the enemy, we will definitely liberate serhii kherson oblast will be free, this is definitely another question, we

probably have some problems with communication, yes, another question, at the weekend there was a message, in particular, from the occupation administration of kherson oblast, which allegedly e- russian troops closed the exit from the occupied part of the kherson region to the territory controlled by ukraine, well, allegedly due to constant shelling due to security issues and so on. please tell me if the residents of the kherson region have any more the possibility to leave the region has really been two weeks already, how to close the exit from the region and already today well, two weeks later, more than half of the residents of the kherson region left the borders and continued to leave because of the artificial humanitarian crisis created by the occupier-occupied territory does not make it possible to live normally, and the complete lack of medicines and life support products for chronically ill people

already put them on the edge of survival, so people left kherson region, leaving for the controlled territory of ukraine and when the occupier realized that at such rates soon there would be no one left there because people wanted to leave the occupied territory and the humanitarian crisis did not allow them to simply function and live there normally, therefore the occupier actually blocked the exit from the territory, the only way for today where it is possible to go to the crimea and there the occupier releases, as it were, to any country, as they say, you can get to georgia, but there are certain investigative actions taking place, there is information that the occupier is creating such filtering camps there. well, i don’t know, this is unconfirmed information. but there are rumors that people stay there for a certain time, work with them,

maybe they are sent further to russia, that is, the only way today where you can leave is the crimean side, well, actually, i wanted to ask whether there is filtering in the kherson region, just as people told in mariupol. that is, you say that there is such information, there is such information, it is not verified, i cannot say for sure now, but such information exists regarding the filtering camps thank you very much serhii gland, a deputy of the kherson regional council, was in touch with us. well, as i announced at the beginning, all the attributes of the church have been removed, the crosses - bells, the iconostasis, the icons have been cut off , even two crosses, such a church of jov pochaivskyi in drohobych, lviv region, was seen by the congregation that came at the first church service in the new status of the orthodox church of ukraine, the church previously belonged to the uoc mp of the moscow patriarchate, the local authorities said that the clergy of the

moscow patriarchate left the walls bare and they took all the property when the community decided to go to the church, instead, the priest of the church of mp told radio svoboda that the property was taken out of the church in order to repair and start painting the church, today criminal proceedings have been initiated and the police are investigating the fact of the destruction of the church disappearance. i apologize for the church property, there was a very beautiful iconostasis made by victims oak communities. there were beautiful icons here, they even took away the so-called first covering of the throne, it is covered with gold, such coverings as you saw the presbytery, it's all wooden that was materially valuable, all this was banned from the church, criminal proceedings are initiated because there are also reports through the mass media about such a fact, of course, the police and other law enforcement agencies react to this, they select explanations from parishioners to date, they

select explanations from local authorities every year we have, step by step, step by step, some kind of glider that we planned to do so, the film and all the property in the majority of us have it registered or i am a sacrifice and all those things they are us stored in our parishioners. so why did you take it off in order to make repairs and because it was precisely with the people that they were supposed to do it at that time, the cathedral of the ukrainian orthodox church of the moscow patriarchate stated that it disagreed with the position of the head of the russian orthodox church, patriarch kirill, regarding the war in ukraine and stated in the uoc mp in the future, their church will act independently and independently of moscow, the updated statute of the uoc mp has not yet been published, and in the resolution of the council dated may 27, which is publicly available, the bishops of the uoc mp condemned the war. they appealed to the authorities

ukraine and russia to continue negotiations expressed regret at the lack of unity in the ukrainian orthodox church and called on the orthodox church of ukraine to dialogue. although they emphasized that the status of the orthodox church of ukraine, i quote, is actually not autocephalous, however, returning to relations with moscow at the moment, it is not completely clear what kind of independence from the russian church we are talking about, at least the word autocephaly is not in the resolution, and the uoc mp cannot declare autocephaly for itself. at the beginning, we have a comment from the bishop of the uoc mp klymenko, let's listen to the statements in which he asked the head of the rpc to do everything possible that depends on him in order to stop russia's military aggression against ukraine. unfortunately, we not only did not see concrete actions on the part

of patriarch kirill even they did not receive any response to our request, the reaction of the head of the russian church, patriarch kirill, is quite restrained. he said that he understands the position of metropolitan onufriy of kyiv, which is why by his words, have the maximum wisdom of the priest of the church, it is meant to act with the maximum wisdom so as not to complicate the life of the believing people, this was a quote, what does it all mean, did the ukrainian orthodox church of the moscow patriarchate really become independent from moscow, let's talk further with us, priest george kovalenko the rector of the open orthodox university of st. sophia and in the past i have to remind the spokesman of the uoc mp we and you congratulate good day christ is risen truly he is risen you can greet like this say so please explain what the council passed on may 27, what was the decision about, well, you know, we still don't really

have these changes to the uoc statute, but for sure we have, you know, such a hybrid decision of a hybrid church. that is, we have a document that everyone can interpret as he wants, and that's why in fact if you read the documents themselves that were adopted and not only the comments on them, yes, and we will see that there is no condemnation of russian aggression in it, there is no condemnation of the position of patriarch kirill, there is no uh, no statement in it there is no break with the russian church there and there is no declaration of any new status, there is also no autonomy and independence in management - this is an invention of the moscow patriarchate back in the 90s in order for the moscow patriarch in ukraine to give such an independent church i think this some

new version of this yes, and well, the fact that we, uh, now have such a strange history, one situation, one and the same structure yes, which before that was called the uoc mp in our country, now in the territory controlled by ukraine says that it is independent on its own, and on the territory of ukraine, which was bought by russia, and the very part of the same structure has already declared that nothing has changed, we are the moscow patriarchate, the spokesman of the ukrainian orthodox church in kyiv says but we have the status of independence of independence since the 1990s, thereby confirming that it is the same status which was and in moscow they say yes yes it is the same as it was therefore i do not know what they want to sell at this moment or what they want to

convince us of. i think this is an attempt by the moscow patriarchate to preserve its own unity structures in ukraine and i would not like to think but there are all reasons for this. that this is some kind of new, er, new stage of the hybrid war of russia against ukraine, where the er uoc will act with soft power both on the territory of the country and behind beyond its borders, because we also heard a statement that uoc parishes will be created in europe, supposedly for the registration of believers, but the question is what negativity will spread in these parishes, who will be those people when it is not fashionable in europe now. er er actually promoting russian narratives

in the ukrainian language, through the officials of the ukrainian orthodox church , yes, that is why this is a huge question, because in this document the narratives are clearly visible, and the war of russia against ukraine is not condemned as an aggressive war, there is a call for peace, it is correct, but it says that the authorities of ukraine and the russian federation must use a wise word to stop bloodshed a for territorial integrity about the restoration yes a about the liberation of the occupied territories a about supporting the ukrainian struggle of the ukrainian people for their independence and in fact er resistance yes er from the destruction of this nothing no, i will remind you first, i also quoted patriarch kirill, his reaction was surprising. i was surprised

that he was quite mild, he did not harshly condemn the council's decision. well, i think it is also part of this game in which , uh, you see. this means that they believe that the moscow patriarchate in ukraine can not now freely call itself the moscow patriarchate. this is probably a confirmation that they must be released now . the same people from this same structure began to call themselves not the ukrainian church, yes, but the moscow patriarchate or the ukrainian church of the moscow patriarchate, so it seems to me that we need to watch our hands very carefully,

yes. in the statutes there are also certain a-a certain ideology and certain messages certain narratives that for decades the moscow patriarchate actually offers its faithful, including in ukraine, and this is the one that another format of the russian world and uh well, how are we going to get rid of this, that's also a huge question, well, you obviously know very well what is happening inside the uoc mp itself. i think you may have some source connections. i mean the leadership here. please tell me how many people there are who really do not want to develop ties with moscow under any conditions and how influential they are there because, uh, how much i talked with experts in this church matter, uh, they told me that, for example , metropolitan onufrii, he still does not apply to

the resorts of the bishops who are in favor of preserving such strong ties with oh, there are other people there. i think that the leadership of the moscow patriarchate in ukraine is interested in preserving its own power, its own positions, its own structure, and it is as taught even in soviet times will mimic the political situation and the government that exists, unfortunately, this is exactly what we see as a classic example of the so-called sergeianism and civility, when people adapt to this or that political situation, this is what they demonstrate clearly in terms of attitudes, i think they would like and want, and this is evident from this statement, that everything should remain as it was, that is, they give those who are in favor of autocephaly the opportunity to interpret this document as about

autocephaly or super autocephaly, which is more than that of ptu, well, a strange statement, but well that's what they say, but those who are against it and who want to be in unity with moscow, they can also interpret these documents as preserving the status and credentials of patriarch oleksiy of the 90th year, i repeat, we are dealing with a hybrid position, the main goal the purpose of which is to preserve its own structure and have knocked down the sentence of a certain status quo, and before the dialogue outside , neither with universal orthodoxy nor with the orthodox church of ukraine, we do not see real steps so well clarification, we literally have a minute left, if in reality the uoc mp intends to break up ties with russia and with moscow, with the russian church as a church, and then what steps should they take so that this really indicates that

they intend to break these ties, what will be such an indicator for me is a joint prayer and co-service with the orthodox church of ukraine and restoration of ties with patriarch zelensky, that is, the ukrainian orthodox church must reject the harlotry of moscow that it has imposed on the ecumenical patriarch and the orthodox church of ukraine. then this will be a position that will unite and orthodox ukrainians together in common prayer and service to the god of the people of ukraine and will not split universal orthodoxy, thank you very much for your comment, george kovalenko, rector of the open orthodox university of st. sophia, was on radio svoboda against the background of the offensive of russian troops in the east of ukraine, the leaders of the european union are gathering for a two-day summit today and tomorrow the meeting will continue in brussels . it is expected that volodymyr zelensky will speak at

the summit in the format of a video conference and once again ask the eu for a new package of economic sanctions against russia, primarily this concerns the oil embargo notes the european editor of radio svoboda, the year of the yuzbek cards and still could not reach an agreement on the sixth package of sanctions for themselves, that is why brussels is watching zoryan stepanenko in the star greetings, we are waiting for details from you. good afternoon. well, indeed, as you already mentioned, russian oil has become a kind of cornerstone against which the unity of the european union is breaking. and all because of budapest's intransigence, the european commission has already made concessions to unblock the oil embargo, adjusted its initial offer , incoming raw materials. so from russia through the pipe the so-called pipeline oil to be allowed and , accordingly, to refuse only that which comes to the sea, it is not so reactive but still noticeable a blow to the russian budget, from where is the kremlin's war machine financed, and this package of sanctions will

still be painful for russia, noted dutch prime minister mark kryukte, after all, two -thirds of the eu's oil supplies are received by tankers , that is, by sea, and that is exactly what they are going to abandon. the essence of what should be returned to the european union with the monolithic approval of its decisions on the fact that the oil bargos will agree today and the head of european diplomacy is counting on the fact that it is a desperate attempt by the eu to praise the project the decision before the arrival of the leaders failed to reach an understanding now they are trying personally however , so far the proposed concessions are not enough for hungarian prime minister viktor urban, who is considered to be putin's most ardent sympathizer in the entire european union , is still not ready for compromises, now he wants a guarantee that the oil for his country will be taken care of if the pipeline that runs through ukraine and through which hungary actually receives oil, something will happen well, the european commission is usually accused by urban

of an irresponsible approach to the energy industry - this this is a serious issue, not child's play, so first we need solutions and then sanctions, so far the first five packages of sanctions have been adopted in an excellent way, first they adopted sanctions and then they started to decide what to do with the consequences, but since it is about energy, it is risky, we need to change the approach first decision, then sanctions, one can only imagine how fierce the discussions are now at the summit, what arguments the leaders are looking for in order to finally convince you to deprive the russian treasury of a significant part of the oil revenues, and nevertheless agreement is closer. is such a forecast from the french president divided by

the optimism? that in the next 48 hours, despite waiting for kyiv, the sanctions will most likely not agree, the chance is low, said ursula furderlai, if it is true, we have already successfully implemented five sanctions packages and it has never been easy as well and now we have mostly resolved all issues except crude oil through the pipeline here discussions are still ongoing in general my call is very clearly directed to all member countries we have one key to success and this is solidarity with ukraine and the unity of the european union, the president of ukraine volodymyr zelenskyy should address his european colleagues at the summit via video link, and indeed, as you mentioned, he will talk about the fact that this sixth package of sanctions should be adopted in the end discussions of which have been ongoing for more than a month will end tomorrow, and in the final declaration and the draft are at our disposal, the

european union plans to strongly condemn russia's war of aggression, call on it to withdraw its troops from the territory of ukraine within its internationally recognized borders, and also promises to make efforts to punish those guilty of atrocities and in order to in particular bring them to justice in ukraine, the leaders will undertake to continue to help with money in the declaration, in particular the mentioned provision of macro-finance in the amount of 9 billion euros, these will be both grants and loans and was also going to call on the parties to cease fire, hungary, cyprus and italy insisted on this, which in kyiv has already been dubbed the ukrainian coalition, well, because of the determination against the friends of ukraine, in particular, the baltic countries and poland, the mention of this was thrown out of the draft decision of the summit, which is, accordingly, a positive signal for kyiv, forced to defend against russian aggression, which is actually ongoing.

stepanenko from brussels well, in the center of the capital , samples of the russian equipment destroyed in buch and gostomel were exhibited in the open air, blown-up tanks and armored vehicles with markings of the occupation forces were presented, you can watch the video now but it is interesting that whoever came to ukraine should die, that's right, that's how it should be no matter what the technology is, but with our faith and with our truth , victory will be on our side, no matter how much technology there was, there were thousands of people, their resources, but all the same, we will win on our land

the family was evacuated, they just recently arrived, i was here in kyiv, that's why they came to see it not only on tv, but live here since he was a small child, he already knows what it is like when rockets fall and heard it, but to see the equipment live is interesting and rightly so, it should be already when the fighting was going on there already with our and our paratroopers from the armed forces who were burning the equipment that was from belarus. later they left and after them the kadyriv troops entered there, then the russian paratroopers entered because the kadyriv troops were destroyed in buch and here is the equipment

which they actually brought with them, this is their bmdeshki, this is 72 standing, and we can also see a radio electronic warfare machine, which was, if my memory serves me right, right under the wing of a dream . that is, this is the equipment that was located literally around the hangar with the dream. i will visit this material in its entirety, you can watch it on the channel radio svoboda ukraine, to which i also encourage you to subscribe. well, i also encourage you to subscribe to the pages of radio svoboda in social networks instagram, telegram, twitter, facebook wherever you are comfortable well, freedom life follows the events in ukraine and the world, in particular regarding the oil barge, tomorrow there will be a continuation of freedom life will return to the air tomorrow

almost 19th in ukraine on the clock and in the studio iryna koval on time you on the tv channel espresso vitayu continues on the 96th days of the russian-ukrainian war, during the successful offensive of ukrainian units, the enemy suffered a loss and withdrew from mykolaivka settlement of the kherson region, this led to panic among the soldiers of other units of the russian army, on the other hand, in the east the invaders continue to advance, in particular in the severodonetsk direction, the enemy is conducting assaults in the areas of the settlements of severodonetsk, toshkivka and ustinivka, fighting continues near komyshuvakha of novoluhansk and berestovo in readiness for the use of rocket weapons in ak
