they don't encroach on anything. well, what is foreign now, only russia has discovered that she is such a fool , who goes around and does what she wants, but there are always doctors for every such fool, the best doctors today are the armed forces of ukraine who try to help them manage to return the enemy to his for his borders away from us in what we respect his success pray for our boys help our army support each other take care i say goodbye to you see you tomorrow until 14:00 we will spend the evening with zanadrymsiachuk from two to on the fifth day we will talk about the most important thing good evening and now for your attention e-e release from my colleagues from the ukrainian service of bbc news let's watch together my name is hryhoriy zhigalov today in the program heavy fighting continues in donbas

russian troops are trying to advance on slavyansk from at midnight, an unexpected visit to kyiv came to the minister of defense of great britain, band voles believes that ukraine is capable of ousting russia from donbas, hurrah очень очень тяжёлый период для меня at the beginning of the war, and how to let the war break dreams of ukrainian teenagers about a big sport - an exclusive interview with the olympic tennis champion elina svitolina heavy fighting continues in donbas according to the general staff of the armed forces of ukraine russian troops are preparing for an offensive on slovyansk in the north fighting for sviatohorsk is going on the russians are already saying that they have

captured the city but there is no further confirmation of this in order to move to sloviansk, the russians need to force siverskyi donets, heavy fighting continues in north donetsk, which is located on the left bank of the river, the russians are also trying to escape push bakhmut here and cut the road to bakhmut-lysichansk, meanwhile, in the occupied territories of russia, it is not possible to provide the basic needs of civilians, the british ministry of defense reports that access to drinking water is unstable, telephone and internet connections are no longer available in kherson, there is a shortage of medicine, and in there is a risk of a large-scale cholera scare in mariupol if we talk about mariupol, the medical care system in the city is also on the verge of collapse and a large outbreak of cholera only worsens this problem it is also reported to the british

ministry of defense, e.e. bibica managed to contact the head of the city, according to vadym boychenko, due to the lack of water supply and sewage, an outbreak of infectious diseases can take thousands of lives , diana kuryshko spoke with the mayor, british intelligence reported today about the high risks of a cholera outbreak in mariupol your adviser recently reported that the city is being closed for quarantine, is there currently cholera in mariupol or do you know of real cases of this disease and other dysentery diseases already in the city, but they are they hide signs and this is because they closed the city for quarantine, restricted access to the sea and this is a sign that something is happening from the point of view of infections and because there are many people killed in the city, they

did not remove those who were killed under the ruins it is a pity that the residents of mariupol who were killed by the russian federation with airplanes, artillery and other weapons remain today. before this, this garbage collection system did not work, and garbage has not been removed from the streets since february. today is summer and today it is already hot. we can see what happened before. this levels are added that are destroying today what they have done, that is, these spontaneous burials that, unfortunately , our residents did, but in the hills and in the squares and in the parks and in the yard and in other cities, and to this is added that large fraternal burials are added to this water supply and the main drainage and all this forms such a mixture

that is not organized and moves towards the rivers , wells, wells, etc., and there people get water today, that is, the water is already poisonous, and that is why they are bringing in water today, and these but this water there is not enough for everyone, people still go to the wells , they all go to the wells and take water so that we understand and it has already gone and that is why they closed the city for quarantine and do not let anyone into the city and do not let them out, according to your estimate, how many sick people there may already be dozens is measured, but we must understand that this is an infection, it spreads very quickly, it is the same as before. there are no conditions to contain it. there is no such professional medical staff today.

in hospitals they destroyed them, we built a new modern hospital with a laboratory in two years there were professional doctors and nurses there were in mariupol they destroyed it and killed the doctors because at that time the doctors were performing their direct duties and these doctors are the fourth hospital that they destroyed another place, they testified with their propaganda video how it was, how it happened, so that you understand today there are no levers that would restrain this process. unfortunately, that means there will be even more in the future. what are your predictions as to how far this situation will continue cholera is developing rapidly and already today our international partners have united to give us medicine and tests for cholera symptoms today we can already testify that those people who will

go directly to the control part of our state from mariupol will undergo testing as a sign of cholera. that is, we have already received these tests from our international partners. we also have a group of medicines. but in order to take them there, it is necessary for a certain mission of the red cross or the oun to recreate these green corridors so that we were able to prove these this year. if this disaster does not happen and this infectious war takes thousands of lives directly in the city of mariupol, i understand correctly that when a person there, for example, can reach zaporizhzhia from mariupol from the south, then everyone will be tested and checked in order to stop the spread of the disease. yes, we want us in

ukraine, so that we also do not bring this disaster to the territory today, that is, we must warn about it, and that is the agreement, and we will be this, there will be a sanitary point, pass points where it directly goes mariupol registration today is for those who are traveling to ukraine, now this is happening already for three months . that is, everyone who comes in is going through registration, and now there will also be testing at the registration point. in general, the war now determines the rules of life. throughout ukraine and in the territories occupied by the russians and in the west of the country, which for three months has actually been performing the role of a large logistics hub, and in the east, where the ominous proximity of the front is felt, and in the capital, which is trying to return to his usual life, but all

the regular air alarms remind us that it is not yet time for carefreeness. bbc correspondent roman alebyt visited both the west and the east. he returned to kyiv and is ready to share his impressions. yes, we really live in very different realities now. lviv and before the war was bursting with tourists, especially in the summer, now it is possibly the most uninhabited city in ukraine, and this is normal, people want to be away from danger, but the capital still remains kyiv, and it is slowly taking such small steps is trying to return to some kind of normal life, but the changes are very obvious. you can notice them behind the queues, but with the incendiary e in the assortment, for example, in the shops, there are very few people, much less in kyiv than usual, and there are practically no traffic jams, which is something incredible. well, there are also such reminders as in last weekend in the form of the arrival of russian missiles, which still keep kyiv

at a distance from normal life, but kharkiv is still something completely different. when i met my friends there, they told me that i as if he came to them from another world, and it is because the city is completely unrecognizable, the streets are empty, many fantastically beautiful kharkiv buildings are destroyed, half-ruined people are trying to get out of there some remnants of air conditioners, or what is left of them, a lot of establishments and shops are not working at all well, this is all that would be nothing if it were not for the constant lip-syncing in the background, that is, flights to and from the city and next to the city are constantly happening and it is very, very difficult to live in such conditions, although in fact kharkiv is from kyiv in after a few hours of train travel, it is obvious that people from all these three realities intersect with each other, some kind of discussions begin as to who should behave, who has forgotten how much about the war , hmm. actually, everything is not so obvious, because

even if you see a person in kyiv who is sitting alone, i am drinking coffee from the outside, it may seem that he is just glorifying himself, or she. and this could be a volunteer who has worked all day or just a person who is preparing for some very difficult trip, so it seems to me that now ukrainians are critical it is imperative to learn to get along with each other, regardless of which of these different realities they currently find themselves in. the international human rights organization emnosty international condemned the actions of the dpr group. a farce that violates the geneva convention on the treatment of prisoners of war, according to the organization, these so-called sentences can be used for a dirty diplomatic game against britain, which actually supports ukraine, the fate of three

prisoners who are now threatened with execution, the united states is also concerned. i will remind you that all three took part in the defense of mariupol. details of the reaction to the threats of the militants. bbc correspondent james lan dale, a briton, and where the remains of sean piener have served in the armed forces of ukraine for several years and ukraine has become their home, but now these two britons have been sentenced to death for being mercenaries, they were defending mariupol . and they were forced to surrender, the british were sentenced to control of russia by the court of the so-called dpr, russian state television reported that the men will have a month to appeal the verdict, former member of the british parliament, robert janex, hopes that both men can be exchanged for russian prisoners, prisoner exchanges are taking place between the ukrainian and russian armies

and the ukrainian ambassador told me last night that they would prefer aiden and shaun in one of these exchanges but of course it depends on russia this morning the minister of foreign affairs of great britain lis trasu discussed the situation on the phone with dmitry kuleba, after that she reported on twitter that these men are prisoners of war and the sentence against them is a severe violation of the geneva convention, but it seems that the british foreign ministry is reluctant to enter into a bilateral dispute with moscow in order to avoid false russia's statement that these britons were mercenaries, officials here in great britain in ukraine believe that russia is using the case of astlin and piner as they will try put pressure on london, these people were illegally accused, they were brought to justice without any guarantees of the rule of law, the russians are trying to intimidate the whole world by various means, the prosecutor general of ukraine, iryna benediktova, called

the sentence false and added that such actions violate international law, she also informed that she has already started an investigation into these illegal actions but for now the fate of eidenaslen shonapinner and moroccan sadu nabrahim remains uncertain, their families say they are very worried and are trying to provide for them access to medical services and legal advice british defense minister ben wallace paid an unannounced visit to ukraine, the british ministry of defense reported that he spent two days in ukraine and met with his ukrainian colleague oleksiy reznikov as well as with the president of ukraine volodymyr zelensky in a video published on the official zelenskyi’s telegram channel shows that voles is talking about the amazing work of the ukrainian president in the british ministry of defense reported that voles heard firsthand what the operational needs of the armed forces are

forces of ukraine, when exactly the politicians met, it is not clear whether they discussed the situation with two britons who are threatened with execution by the dpr group, at the same time we have a few statements from the minister of defense of great britain, voles believes that ukraine is capable of displacing russia from the donbas , bbc correspondent nick bick and depression know the details so we see how president zelensky met with ben voice and other officials from rotyn who came to this meeting, the atmosphere of the meeting is warm, the minister of defense joked, you are doing well, and the president replied to this, we are doing it together, pointing to the close relationship that arose between britain and ukraine, the british played a key role in the supply of weapons to ukraine to give it the opportunity to deter the russian offensive, and president zelensky, for his part , said that this is joint work and a credit to the ukrainian

people, the visit was unannounced, the british government is eager to show its support for the government of ukraine here in kyiv, and coincidentally, it happened shortly after the announcement of the death sentence for two to the british, whom the so-called dpr considers mercenaries , the verdict was handed down purely to donetsk, whose authority is not recognized by any country in the world except russia itself, this case has acquired an international number today, the russian ministry of foreign affairs called the reaction of britain historic and sanctions and thanked the minister of defense and his team for this visit, as well as the general government of great britain, to the prime minister with the help of this statement he made zelensky, after these negotiations, the war is a great manifestation of who our real friends are, and not only

the strategic actions of today, friends, partners, so i believe that this is great britain and i am glad to meet all of you and the team in ukraine, but these words constantly turn into actions and this is a very important difference between ukraine's relations with great britain and other states, weapons, finances, sanctions, three things in which great britain consistently shows its leadership. from the first days of the war, london became the initiator of multi-vector aid in ukraine. sends modern weapons, trains the ukrainian military, introduces sanctions, where there is money, accepts ukrainian refugees, the ambassador of ukraine to great britain, vadym predstaiko, with whom my colleague natalka skopenko spoke, said that britain has become the coordinator not only of international military aid, but is also ready to take on a role in the

reconstruction of ukraine. that britain is a country that from the first days of the war has provided ukraine with powerful political diplomatic support, military and humanitarian aid. but are there areas and which ones this support and help could have been more effective, thank you. please name these areas and i want to say that there are other areas that we have not discussed so far, but in the near future, for example, there will be the first infrastructure summit at which the british government invites the ukrainian government and many ukrainian government officials will come to to talk about the restoration, reconstruction, reconstruction of ukraine is so massive, the first attempt to talk about it is britain again at the very front of these changes, well, you are now talking more about the future, but at the current stage, if regarding military aid, you see that the secretary of the

state secretary for defense today in kyiv, a certain stage has already been completed. we received a lot of things from great britain, and it was very valuable help, and before that meeting, stuttgart is famous, which everyone is talking about, there were three such meetings, video and personal, which it was done exclusively by the british side , it does not announce a strong, this is a very important first step. and it is important for us here to preserve both the coordinating role of britain and the fact that britain itself can give its reserves from the discussion of heavy weapons against against the ship's reconnaissance capabilities and so on and so on and so on obviously i don't want to go all the details everything is being discussed everything everything is coming in all the time we are training a lot of our soldiers and officers here all the time we are constantly showing up power for our navy humanitarian aid do you keep in touch with the ukrainians who ended up in britain as immigrants or refugees and what help do you provide them, it is very difficult for all 60,000 to get the more they are scattered all over the whole of britain and we simply cannot all

reach out, we ask everyone who comes to please remind them that there is an embassy and that if they have any problems, they can first of all contact us . passing even the external examination it's all organized it 's all helping local children and can it be seen that it can be done better we need to help people with their job search we communicate with a large number of companies so that they offer job options for of ukrainians, the british government is very concerned about the fate of two british prisoners whom we have announced the death sentence. do you coordinate efforts with the british for their release or possible exchange under international law ? we know about each medium, we understand them, i meet them, we hear, and we can

imagine in what difficult psychological condition these people were in, who understand what conditions now, what can their sons expect? the first thing that was very important was to reject all russian abuses that they are mercenaries. we told them unequivocally that this is part of our armed forces . russians expect that their prisoners are in our hands, they are the same and the exchange that will definitely take place includes these british soldiers. what can wider ukrainian diplomacy do to stop this war? it is very important that these sanctions are what some countries can't help for various reasons sometimes these are artificial reasons sometimes these are true reasons why can't they help us win the war militarily for these countries we offer another option is help monetary financial there are sanctions that you can

not impose on russia and their companies can leave in order for russia not to pay its taxes, we calculated that approximately the taxes paid by western companies pay for every third bullet that is fired in ukraine, these are huge funds that the russian military machine could have been deprived of that is, this is the task of our diplomacy around the world, and vladimir putin has just announced that he founded a new russian capital on lands that at that time no one in europe recognized as russian, now putin compares himself to peter the first and it is said that his destiny is his mission to strengthen and renewing russian lands, can this be taken as an acknowledgment that his mission in ukraine is the conquest of ukraine at last? i think you are right

, he explains little by little that he is, in fact, all the talk about unification and demilitarization is over words starting with d, they recede into the background , he can only allow himself that ukraine is his own if we fight, we fight back, this is the maximum he can allow himself to talk about the protection of the new republics that he recognized only the day before. he moves aside from comparing himself with the leader, it will be genghis khan's turn so soon, but in the end, i am a fighter, where is hitler, too, and the fate of hitler, which befell this dictator early, or business will befall putin, he just does not realize it yet, we help him realize it with every day while we defend our country further in the program world tennis star ukrainian alina svitolina exclusive interview about what professional tennis organizations have done to ban the performances of russian athletes about the reasons that prompted her to decide to take a break from professional tennis and yet what should be done so that military actions do not deprive

ukrainian teenagers of their dream of a great sport, the bbc correspondent tatiana spoke with the bronze medalist of the tokyo olympics elina svitolina kharchenko, the war started. literally a month later, you made a statement that you were taking a break from your career and would not perform for a while, and immediately there were also speculative headlines about the fact that the war broke the spotlight, but also later it became clear that you were preparing to become a mother. so this is was the main reason. why did you decide to take this break? it was a very, very difficult period for me. it was a very difficult period for me at the beginning of the war, because a few days before that i found out that i was pregnant, and then the war started and that was it. вместе психологический было очень it was all very difficult to bear psychologically immediately after 5 days i performed in mexico, then there were two big tournaments in the states, a lot of pressure already knocked me out of course it

knocked me out of my focus and in general, in your opinion , do sports organizations do enough for that to ban the performances of russian athletes, in particular russian tennis players, not enough was done and i believe that not enough was done and the statements issued by the tennis federations were not good enough and not enough was done in this direction, not enough was done in this direction. in ukraine, it was said that i believe that not enough was said by the tennis associations in support of ukraine. together with ukrainian tennis players, i have been to meetings with the main people from the tennis associations and the main people from the tennis association. but unfortunately, unfortunately, they do not fully understand the whole situation that is happening in ukraine and, unfortunately

, they do not want to meet. you have become an ambassador of the united 24 initiative, which aims to fundraising for the recovery of ukraine and demining, what goals have you set for yourself, what will you do in this new position ? to help ukraine, you are from odesa. how did your parents, who stayed in odesa at the time when the large-scale invasion began, experience those first days and where are they now after 10 days? my parents were able to leave after ten days. my parents were able to leave but my other part of the family, grandmother, aunt, uncle, their family stayed in odesa, ani. they will not leave my grandmother in her old age, so it is not easy for her to

move around. mentally, because mentally it is very difficult, especially for people who have developed a routine. my parents are now in monaco, i see them quite often. i appreciate this time very much. they are worried, they want to go back to their normal life, they will also apply with your initiative, many ukrainian children were taken away by the security of the european tennis academy, tell me how many children you managed to take out, we could help you more than 30, we helped more than 30 families this is a very large budget which we paid in europe because nothing is

given for free in europe. now we are trying to organize events for even more funds and to move further from the environment to move the children to train and dream so that they were able to win tournaments and in general to realize their potential, their potential is not over. the cabinet of ministers formed an organization committee for holding the eurovision song contest in ukraine. the representative of the government in the verkhovna rada, taras melnychuk , announced this in his telegram channel. eurovision in turin, italy thus, the next contest should be held in ukraine, minister of culture oleksandr tkachenko has no doubts that the next contest will be held in ukraine according to him, the country has already received a special questionnaire, which contains questions that need to be

settled for the organization of the competition, and that's all for today. for more information, look for a larger story on our website bbc.ua. we will be on the air again on monday at 9:00 p.m. with you vitaliy portnikov and we continue the broadcast of the espresso tv channel on our still in such a traditional stream in the conversation in which we spend this hour well where do we start from this yesterday the president of the russian federation vladimir putin visited the exhibition dedicated to the anniversary of the first russian emperor peter i spoke about the role of the russian ruler with

young specialists and many were struck by the fact that vladimir putin for the first time actually openly named the goals of his attack on ukraine, it is meant that when the russian ruler spoke about the fact that peter comes to the lands of other peoples, what he occupies during the war with sweden lands that were inhabited by hungarian peoples and reproach us but we have such a fate and here putin smiled condescendingly that he collected lands and we collect land well, first of all, i want to say that there is no sensation for me personally in this statement of vladimir putin, because i constantly emphasized that vladimir putin is engaged in
