that is, i did not know this person at all and i can swear this with any oaths, that is, i do not know whether sergey trofimov knew him personally, but it seems to me . in fact, your colleagues from the servant of the people, off the record, usually tell me, in particular, my other colleagues, journalists, that this purchase was agreed with the president's office, and again the question arises as to what connections kovalev may still have, for example, with the president's office. and what what will happen to the fourth channel if it cooperates with russia, what will happen to the channel? i think our colleagues from the criminal law enforcement agencies will deal with these criminal implementations. well, if it falls under the confiscation of course they will confiscate for the benefit of the

state, if not, they will probably arrest me. well, i didn't know that, we have to see how this process will go further with regard to some connection with the office there or from it with the office. well, to be honest, i won't quote there, but when this news was announced a lot of colleagues just from the office dialed us, asked what it is, what kind of deputy is he, what is he buying the channels, and what are the stories there, and well , well, that is, it was not exactly related to someone there, somehow related to the authorities and so on what's more, the authorities there never dealt with the er channels, and well , it was just that time, if you remember, the president's office ruined relations with all the owners of the tv channels and the servants of the people did not

go anywhere, and just in this period, the servant of the people he buys a tv channel, he is a deputy from a servant of the people. but that's not it a servant of the people as a party and i just wanted to. i left at that time it was fashionable to demonize the office just because of the media issues, articles appeared on all resources, everyone analyzed how the current government was trying to do something with the honey farmer, but then it turned out that it was all also assumptions, i don't know how it turned out. well, you think that he has no connections with the people who are currently in power. do they somehow influence the decisions in the country, all the more. now to have connections with such a character, well, for sure no one will be with him for example, they talked. after the invasion,

he didn't say anything. he once wrote in a joint chat that i was at the beginning of something organizational, and then we talked with them. well, he reproached us in an interview with numbers that we didn't even call him. well, to be honest, i didn't want to to call because i am not sure that this call would be useful there from the point of view of my safety as one of the criminals of the state. well, because the person is in the occupied territory, it is not known on what grounds the russian soldiers are coming to him, he is there with them. they are discussing some kind of world literature, well, it somehow all looked very strange that even then we said about it, let's count it, but well, there were people who said, well , let's take a look, maybe he has some complicated things, maybe something is wrong there, time will tell, well, time will show actually and besides kovalyov is now in the verkhovna rada. at the service of the people. let me tell you

about the people who may have some suspicions. the question is whether this is just one such exception. that is, this is one such case. after all, colleagues, we understand exactly where they are , what is wrong with them, and who they may be. there is a question but definitely not those for the comment oleksandr kornienko, the first deputy chairman of the verkhovna rada of ukraine was on radio liberty russian occupiers again shelled kharkiv and the region in populated areas of kharkiv oblast damaged as a result of the shelling houses , farm buildings warehouses and garages seven people were injured among the wounded a tractor driver who was blown up by a mine in the head of the kharkiv wall, oleg blue-faced, told the village elite that in the new bavarian district of kharkiv, as a result of russian shelling, two people were killed, four were injured, a cafe, a shop, and the school reported to the state emergency service. well, the russian army launched a

missile attack on the city of bakhmut. bakhmut in the donbas struck the school, as a result of which the building is now destroyed. no one was in the building at the time of the hit . local residents say that there were no military facilities in ani's premises. report from the scene of the incident from the correspondent of radio svoboda maryana kushnir, the child studied then in 2008. he went to school in the 18th year. well, now everything has turned around. it's a pity that the books in the

library ended up in the physics room. they ended up in the chemistry room. that's why there are so many books here. a lot, well, it was a pity that the diary was even purely for the sake of planning to publish it for the next year, to distribute it to the school, this same thing was planned . our school is good, but the school has a swimming pool, there are towels in the school, there are also two gymnasiums inside, there is an assembly hall, the playground is so good, there was a good one in the yard here for children physically, these are the same exercises they did in russia , they do not hit with an object, as they thought that the military

there were no military personnel here, everything was peaceful , no one even stopped by or asked to stay here , the school was repaired, we are returning to luhansk region, contact us serhii gaidai, the head of the luhansk regional military-civilian administration, we greet you , what is the situation in the region as of now it is stable . the situation is difficult. the fiercest fighting is going on in north donetska. the russians have already reported that they captured the city there, but their soldiers are still dying in north donetska and for some reason they dragged them away. from there, their units with buryats. there are not enough buryats there, and they

took them away, well, that is, they continue to engage in such lies and propaganda, they shell the very powerful lysychansk , and considering that they are not nearby, they shell the city from large-caliber 2003 240th, and with armor-piercing ones that pierce concrete, they destroyed our humanitarian center in lysychansk. thank god that people are alive, they were in shelters. 32 or rockets there or shells just flew into the building where we distributed humanitarian aid sets for drinking water, well, that is, let's continue. yes, this happened today. no, it was a couple of days ago, but in general, every day they shell residential areas, destroy houses , destroy hospitals, and everything

. of our viewers, it is literally 15 km from north donetsk, it is possible even less. it is located on a mountain, and as far as i know, we understand that it is still under the control of ukraine and it is not so easy to get there. keep the defense but direct, because there are no battles in lysychansk and near lysychansk somewhere on the outskirts, there are also no battles, there are battles going on in severodonetsk in the city, and they are going on in the mountain community where there is toshkivka, where there is zolote katerynivka, there are battles continue in the direction of popasna komyshuvakha and now the weather is so hot, the water in the siverskyi donetsk river has fallen, and

now we are very carefully watching the movement of the russians, because they may want to make a crossing somewhere and transfer personnel and equipment again across the river. last week, you repeated several times that more than 90% of the region has been captured , now somehow this situation has changed. is everything the same, there are no advances towards the russians, the fact is that they are better there. the defenders there are holding the line of defense . even had some local success there. well, the fact is that severodonetsk is a small city, this city is 4 km by 4 km, they are small, so if even on one street, uh, somewhere there are changes in one direction or the other

, then it is already possible, well, by large percentages simply count what you say that severodonetsk is one of the fiercest such points on the map of luhansk region. can you say what kind of losses ukraine has suffered there because, well, different figures are heard about the east, in general, no losses, i can’t say, uh, this is the military command, can you comment such things, but i can say that how much do i hang out with the guys and how much do i talk to them? well, almost every day, just in the morning and in the evening, i get information, so if you compare the losses on our side and the losses on the russian side, here nothing at all to compare because well, i don't know, one to ten weapons, you go defender, then you have to have 10

russians for one, this is such verified information . the russians bear much more losses than the ukrainians much more what is happening to civilians the past few days a day ago two days ago i hear from time to time that some alleged evacuation is still taking place is it about a very small number of people or is it me i misunderstood something, the only thing is that we no longer publicize the evacuation because as soon as we talk publicly about something, about humanitarian centers, about centers where people gather for evacuation, the russians immediately start shooting there with all the weapons that they have, that is, their tactics are simply nasty and the evacuation is now going quite quietly

, the police and the military simply know where the people are in the shelters. they communicate with them and if there are 5-10-15-20 people who want to leave the borders of the luhansk region, away from wars, away from the shelling, we negotiate uh and they are taken out of the region and then, with the help of volunteers, we take them out in general to the west of ukraine, thank you very much for your comment serhii gaidai , the head of the luhansk military-civilian administration, we were in contact with the so-called the dpr of the lpr, as well as the occupied territories of the kherson and zaporozhye regions, are planned to be united into one federal district within russia, the russian publication meduza writes about this with reference to three sources. in the administration of the russian president

vladimir putin, the russian federal district writes that jellyfish should appear after referendums on accession to russia will be held in these territories, referring to ukrainian occupied territories, the occupation authorities of the zaporizhia region announced the day before immediately after the first deputy head of the president's administration visited the region about the preparation for such a referendum in russia, serhiy kiriyenko writes medusa for kiriyenko, the occupied territories of ukraine - this is a model region, kiriyenko wants to show putin that he has a management team. who can deal with very difficult tasks and become a successor at the end of april, the head of the internal political bloc of the kremlin, serhii kiriyenko , became the curator of the so-called dpr instead of dmytro kozak, and during the war, medusa writes, kiriyenko managed to get closer to president vladimir putin and expand the scope of his powers, now he is engaged not only in the occupied east and south of ukraine we decided to dwell in detail on the person

of kyrienka, why exactly he was appointed curator of the occupied territories and what tasks he faces poses the kremlin and whether he can really be putin's successor, we will talk about it on the same broadcast. literally in a few minutes we are waiting minute by minute for our next speaker. we don't have a speaker with us. of russia itself kyrylo martynov , editor-in-chief of novaya gazeta evropa sergey kyryenko besides that he is the deputy head of president putin's administration, we know this officially , but we need to know more about him to know and understand the power of what he is doing now in the occupied territories of ukraine

, well, on the one hand, we need to remember that he is a very unpopular russian politician who was very short-lived. his career is precisely on the public shelves of the russian masses, who associate him exclusively with default of the year 1998 and possibly the final conditions for him eh, well, some kind of direct service is connected with the war, this is a way to clean that image somehow, yes, in the eyes of the superiors, and finally become some other person eh on the other hand, kirilenko is very on the good account of putin, uh, putin considers him an effective person capable of solving problems with a modern person who understands how to uh, organize different processes, and kirylenko received such a status even when he was uh, the head of uh, when he cooperated with ruslan and in general yes, this is a story about that. it seems to me that russian officials

are gradually changing to something new and becoming not just officials. such people who when you read with liberals like kyryenko in the same company is dmitry medvedev, for example, who writes more and more crazy and sinister texts on his social networks, yes, the last time he said i hate you all , probably onyme uvidu addressed to europe, this is me about medvedev here look at the occasion, he addressed it curiously, because it was for medvedev, it was completely unclearly formulated, it was possible to understand that he hates, for example, from his telegram entry, it is possible, eh, i am returning to kyriyenko medusa writes that the kremlin wants to unite the occupied territories of ukraine in novy, the federal district is supposedly part of russia, and

yakov kyrilenko must integrate it. and the main thing in his motivation is to do it. well , first of all, i have to say that it does not seem to me at all that the federal district is really some kind of powerful structure. yes, that is what it means to unite the federal district. to have some kind of coordination at the level of the presidential administration, and by and large, nothing else in russia has existed in the last 15 years or so, the institute of pole ambassadors, which works , as it were, on top of the governor, the regional branch leaders, i report directly to the administration the president, but the federal district has no special a-a powers, especially a-a not in this sense. what is the idea of ​​a meeting of a possible a-a occupied territory of the federal district ?

won't join them or won't the questions be anoxized one at a time yes at once how would you create such a proxy structure it may well be a proxy structure and formally it is not yours in russian it seems to me that it is necessary to focus attention on not on not on the idea of ​​the district separately from you all the same exactly on the idea a-a about that a-a what status would the cream want to get for these territories really or are they going to annex them er-e there is no last one it turned out that annexation is the things that the cream simply will not pull in the applied the conditions for today, there are two events that , after studying, call for that, after all, such a scenario is more realistic itself and crazy things can be like what in the 14th year, as well as on february 24 of this year, it is realistic because with one the strange and russian company yandex has removed state borders from its map of the world, just in case you

seem to lower your limits and fall under the new sanctions, and in general , it is finally closed from the other side. today , putin compared himself to peter the great and substantiated in the same way as pyotr er-er department er-e petersburg in the occupied territory of yours in the territory at the beginning of the 18th century also himself and putin apparently understands this for sure this is how people lived at the beginning of the 18th century. apparently, putin is preparing at least this kind of future for the russians. i'm sorry. yes, i'm talking about kerenkom. it seems to me that he just said to me that this person is wanted. he is simply connected to putin's regime. and he has nowhere to run. where he was, he did not come, he will be judged, and he is still considered by some people in russia not patriotic enough, loyal enough to me, and he seems to me to deserve the reputation of a military administrator because in general, probably, from some point of

view, it’s the same thing to administer, whether it’s high technologies or occupied territories, of course, before, everyone wanted to administer more innovative business in russia, but times have changed, but rich topics, yes, but medusa writes that kyryenko could allegedly be putin's successor and what do you think about that? i am absolutely completely a fantasy of the sources of the jellyfish and that's how things are done in the russian context just to feel the soil and it might even harm kyrylenka from her country a little there are some people that i like here, it's a very simple thing . why is this not realistic because in the mass consciousness of russians? and kerenko has nicknames. information from the year 1998 when russia refused

its financial obligations to the world , a default occurred, this is the first sharp jump in the dollar exchange rate in recent history, after the year 91, and they lost their savings once again and at this moment in time it was kyrylenko who was the prime minister of russia with all the young man , it should be said, er, as if he is in the mass consciousness , he bears responsibility for this. well, there are some people who think that he is somehow special, that's what he is. at this moment, he found himself in this position because someone had to bear this responsibility, this person is absolutely not elected, and i am sure that there is no such propaganda and such technology that one can seriously bet on a person who, er, who has such a public reputation among people politicians are mass-selective, and this is also the ultimate yes, these are very indicative things related to how the russian political system works , because in it, by and large, all the heroes are from

the 90s, except for the general one, yes, everything the rest are people who became politicians in the 90s, and they have a very specific reputation. zyuganov has one, zhirynovsky, who died, the other is the reputation of kyriyenko, the reputation of an absolutely ridiculous person, and now it’s simple. no one knows about russia, what he does and why putin trusts him. not a public character. well, i don't know. maybe when they started showing it on television, if it's federal russian television, then there might be some kind of request to actually make it public . politics, but it seems to me that this is very far away, and it can happen after putin in the kremlin. what do you think? well, you see everything that is happening , reading the news, comments, and the kremlin is looking for nika putin’s prize for putin. well, it’s simple. it is not very clear. who is in the kremlin? crimea and putin. you can tell putin himself. no, putin. i think about it. i think so, although, unfortunately, it

seems to me that the medicine that vladimir putin has is quite good and, in general, we don’t care about all the numerous rumors. we can live well. an even longer amount the time of the knight of this sage, and therefore his flock 's political decision in relation to his life , but in general, the story of the receiver is very old, it was very indicative in the seventh year, when putin did not decide on the third term, he proposed that medvedev actually started on him and understand what mechanics work if someone from putin's entourage starts to become too exalted, the rest of the environment starts to work away from him, that's why no one wants to be named the receiver too early and, in general, yes this is how the history of putin himself shows that any person can do this, including people who

were unknown to us yesterday. данным часы мечера yes, the same as it was in the case of the president of the elyssa , which has not yet been declarant. thank you for your comments. kyrylo martynov, the editor-in-chief of novaya gazeta evropa was on radio liberty and i will literally read the latest news to you just now. in front of our broadcast, before the broadcast began, in the temporarily occupied territory of the donetsk region , so to speak, they condemned three foreign fighters who defended ukraine to the death penalty. was called a court, and this so-called supreme court of the dpr passed the first verdict against foreign fighters who fought on the side of ukraine and who during this trial were called mercenaries, it is about the british aiden aslin shawn

-piner and the moroccan e-e saaduna brama and we to we will definitely return to this topic tomorrow and we will consider it carefully from all sides, because on our broadcast the experts repeatedly voiced the thesis that they allow such a show trial against the defenders of mariupol to take place. well, today is the first such in the meantime, ukraine is fighting for the status of a candidate for membership of the european union, and poland is actively helping in this. polish president angeli duda went on a tour of europe to convince his colleagues to secure this status for the country suffering from of unprecedented russian aggression, the ukrainian diplomatic landing force is also working, but seven more eu countries remain in the ranks of skeptics, this is the figure of radio svoboda, and today in brussels , the vice-prime minister for european integration,

olga stefanishyna, announced our correspondent from brussels, zoryana stepanenko, e- zoryana reports that in brussels they offer a different format, the so-called conditional candidacy, and the two countries strongly insist on this. exactly which olga stefanishyna did not specify, explaining that it would harm adoption of a positive decision for ukraine only told what counter-arguments kyiv is currently using in its favor to grant or not to grant candidate status eu leaders will decide at the summit at the end of june already in the conditions of a full-scale russian invasion of ukraine zaporizhzhia has turned into a logistics hub for people fleeing from war from the russian-occupied regions of kherson oblast and zaporizhzhia region , radio svoboda journalists visited the reception point for forcibly displaced people in zaporizhzhia and asked how they got from the occupied cities and what was happening

during the occupation itself, this material can be viewed on the radio freedom ukraine channel on youtube. well, in the meantime, i turned to the latest news that we have at the moment. first of all, the mayor of the capital, vitaliy klitschko, just announced literally today that the kyiv city council will ask the government to create a military cemetery in the capital for the honorable burials of defenders of ukraine. this is reported on the website of the kyiv administration with reference to the statement of the mayor of the capital and klitschko is convinced that it will be such a place that it will be such a place in the capital for military cemetery and for the honorable burials of the defenders of ukraine and the authorities of the capital propose to arrange such a place next to the tract of babyn yar , and one more important news, which i think we will

discuss tomorrow during the broadcast, president volodymyr zelensky signed a decree on the introduction of personal sanctions against the russian president vladimir putin, the spokesman of the kremlin, dmitry piskov, the prime minister of the russian federation, mykhailo mishustin, a number of high-ranking officials from the aggressor state, this is literally now the presidential decree about approval of the decision of the national security and defense council, this information is set out in this decree, and all members of the government of the russian federation, the security council of the russian federation, in particular, the secretary of the security council mykola patrushev, the minister of defense serhii shoigu, the minister of foreign affairs serhiy lavrov, and in general, the list of persons against whom sanctions were imposed 35 russian high-ranking officials were included in the list of the national security council, and these sanctions include, in particular, the ban on entry into the territory of ukraine and the cancellation of visas and permits persons and also the ban on the flights of their planes in

the airspace of ukraine, i urge you to traditionally subscribe to radio freedom channels on the internet, and freedom life will be back on the air tomorrow. greetings dear tv viewers yana yamalniki, the 106th day of the full-scale russian-ukrainian war continues, so we are starting to separate information from the general staff of the enemy has partial success in the direction of the settlements of komyshuvakha and grottoes of the zaporizhzhia region, they report to the general staff that it is for donetsk , the occupiers continue to storm the city with the help of artillery near kramatorsk, the russians launched a rocket attack, but due to the fact that the russians in that direction were forced to
