more ukrainians and develop a special law on their status so that they can stay in denmark and get a job. many of them dream of returning as soon as possible, but this war seems to last longer than we expected. i have been following ukraine for many, many years and know how much it means to her to be in europe, but i have no doubt that ukraine should and will be a member of the european family, that's all for today. see you tomorrow . glory to ukraine, this is a verdict program. my name is serhiy rudenko. good day and good health to all.

today is the 110th day of heroic ukrainian resistance to the russian occupiers, the enemy continues to storm severodonetsk in donetsk region, active battles continue near avdiyivka , maryinka, krasnohorivka, sviatohirsk estuary, they shelled bakhmut at night , about fifty private houses were destroyed and damaged, two hotels, railway infrastructure, transformer substations, donate power grids, the russians continue to shell sumshchyna, kharkiv oblast and kherson oblast, the russian occupiers lost 150 people in ukraine in the last day, the biggest losses were in bakhmut since the start of the great war, the russians have already lost 32,300 people in ukraine, 1,432 tanks, 3,492 armored fighting vehicles, 718 artillery pieces, 226 rocket launchers, 97

air defense systems, 213 aircraft, 178 helicopters, 2,460 vehicles, 13 boats, 125 cruise missiles, 585 drones, 54 of special equipment about the fate of azov residents and marines who were captured by the russians a month ago about the eighth anniversary of the liberation of mariupol from the russian occupiers and the current today we will talk about the situation on the eastern and southern fronts of ukraine during this hour with two of our guests, with a military expert , the coordinator of the information resistance group, kostyantyn of mashov, mr. kostyantyn and glory to ukraine. good day. thank you for participating in our program. glory to the heroes. good day and our second guest. from commander maksym zhorin p maksym glory to ukraine, glad to see you thank you for participating in

the program glory to heroes, glad to see you, but i would like to clarify that i am the commander of azov in the 16th and 17th years ex-commander, well, commander, at that time you were a commander when hostilities were taking place in the east of ukraine, you defended mariupol as well. so, as of the morning of june 13, the russians control 70% of north donetsk, the head of the luhansk regional military-civilian administration, serhii gaidai, said this at the plant nitrogen remains about 500 people, of them 40 children of the industrial zone fire at the enemy 's large-caliber artillery the day before, in his evening address, volodymyr zelenskyi also spoke about the struggle severodonetsk, luhansk region, let's listen to how the president of ukraine characterizes the current situation on the eastern front, the key tactical goal of the

occupiers has not changed. donbas reserve forces, but what kind of reserves can they have now, it looks like they will try to throw poorly trained conscripts into battle and those who were gathered at the expense of hidden mobilization russian generals consider their people simply as cannon fodder that they need in order to ensure an advantage in numbers in the number of manpower in the number of military equipment. so this is the opinion and assessment of the situation from the supreme commander-in-chief of the armed forces of ukraine p. maksym . how do you assess the other situation around severodonetsk well and the prospects of its capture by the russian occupiers, because we are talking about

two-thirds of the city, which, unfortunately, are now controlled by the occupiers. for me, this is a difficult issue. the fact is that i myself was born in luhansk oblast and spent my entire childhood and teenage years there. i was born in a border city, it is right next to north donetsk , and it was captured even earlier. as for the situation, i definitely follow it, although i participate hostilities in another direction and i can say that the situation is, to put it mildly, very difficult for us, the fact is that hmm despite all the bravery, despite this bravery of the ukrainian soldiers who defend luhansk oblast. the fact is that he is trying to it is really possible to throw russian meat and equipment into the ground, and no one there counts them, and that is why it is extremely difficult in this regard, because the forces are not commensurate, the situation there will be difficult and

in the near future, to be honest, i do not see any chances for it to improve there in this direction, but my vision is that it is necessary to choose e-e from tactically convenient positions in order to hold them, sometimes for this you even have to leave some territory. thank you, mr. maksym, mr. kostyantyn, tell me how you assess the current situation and what will the enemy achieve if, after all, he takes control of severodonetsk, how will this affect both the eastern and southern fronts, and possibly even the northern, the enemy is conducting an operational-technical concession operation in the eastern operational zone, the purpose of which is to encircle and the defeat of a part of a part of the united forces of the armed forces of ukraine, namely the occupation that operates in

the north donets region of sichansky, means for this he uses, well, four groups, of which three, er, mean they perform the main function so the fourth one deals with the frontal pushing back of our e-e troops from severodonetsk from an operational-tactical point of view, which means if we leave the territory of severodonetsk, then well, this does not in any way complain about the general e-e. i mean in the military relation e-e hmm, how he complains about the general strategic situation er, here is er , however, i emphasize that er, the

adversary's aspiration, engaged in severodonetsk itself, is dictated more by the political goals of the war than military ones. well, you mean for him, for it is important for the enemy to take the capital of the luhansk region and show that the entire luhansk region is now under the control of the russian forces. i watched today the compilation and evaluation of the american institute for the study of war. they say that the russian forces continue to experience difficulties with the formation of additional combat-capable elements and the british ministry of defense during the last two days suggests that they are trying to create a third battalion-tactical group, while usually only two can be created in short, foreigners say that the russians may simply not have enough people whom

they can throw into battle. to what extent do you agree with these conclusions, or is russia so big and they have enough opportunities for covert mobilization together? in order to continue to send new forces here and, well, maybe of a completely different quality, but at least as they say, cannon fodder from putin will always come to ukraine, the russians are really experiencing a shortage of personnel now , because they are suffering huge losses along the entire line of the front in absolutely all directions, they have constant constant losses, they could not transfer almost anyone from under mariupol to the zaporizhzhia direction because they were almost completely destroyed by the mariupol garrison. it was almost completely destroyed on the territory of ukraine and

this happens in all directions, is it true that there is a problem with the personnel, but i would not count on it as a salvation or a turning point the fact is that the russians, in principle, have a huge number of personnel, there is a reserve of human resources, and for them it is not a problem to throw further into the battle there, well, not at all , er, not both, and the personnel is not a problem for them, that their commanders er, there will know banal some basic things, because the more experienced will all die on the territory of ukraine, they will continue to throw them, throw them, throw them, their quality will constantly decrease there, their effectiveness will decrease, but in terms of quantity, the russians will still push here until they achieve the goals they set for themselves. by the way, the russian aggressors also do not understand why our troops are defeating them and are

mobilizing cannon fodder again. them tanks tanks tanks tanks tanks said that mobilization with such a big country is needed, we have come, er, replenishment has come volunteers were yesterday, the day before yesterday, that's when with me when the boy shel volunteer arrived himself signed a contract for 6 месяцев приехал нам сюда еще этотс когда весолая веселае веселее велеей его. when we brought them, we gave them weapons. the guy was adequate. well, because of this sniper, the goat who was shooting at the eggs also got a bullet a little lower in the groin, eh, such ugly people . well, you see, the russians wanted to receive flowers here at the meeting from grateful ukrainians receive

a bullet upah e p konstantin how is the situation, today is already the 110th day of the great offensive of the russian federation on ukraine. more can be said about these calculations and about the forecasts that were made the russian military obviously still can not understand what happened during these three months and why the russians actually did not count on a people's war because we are now seeing a people's war in ukraine well, of course, i do not know for sure what calculations the russian military chiefs made there i am not familiar with them for sure, well , at least according to uh. let's say this, by the methods of forming and organizing the conduct of hostilities, it is possible

to understand that certain certain approaches in them are such systemic, principled uh, so of course they at the first stages of this invasion, they suffered a fiasco, let's say, probably because they didn't calculate, they planned their and completely based on completely different circumstances and conditions, but it is worth noting that they are learning. well, not as quickly as it was possible, but in happiness certain er correcting their mistakes they do thank you mr. konstantin today is another important date in the history of the city of mariupol today is the eighth anniversary of the liberation of this city maxim zhorin also took part in the liberation of this city i want to congratulate you on this date

because we all remember what happened in 2014, on june 13, and in 2022. as you say, maksym, mariupol has become a historical shame for the russian federation, which will not wash away with the ages. now there are several thousand defenders of the city who came out of of the azovstal plant a month ago, according to the agreement between ukraine and russia, the russians say that there are about two and a half thousand ukrainian people in captivity, which is much more than what you have today. maxime, do you know about your brothers in that area, because there are a lot of azov people today indeed, the date of the liberation of mariupol, but this is the date of the first liberation of mariupol. i am sure that we will also celebrate the second date of the

liberation of this ukrainian city in the 14th year. i took part in this operation directly as one of the stormtroopers in one from groups i, you know, it is very revealing now to look at what the city looks like after the ukrainian liberation and after the russian capture, then in the 14th year, the city was already living its life after a few hours. there were no destroyed buildings there. the entire infrastructure worked, the city was just a chair and lived in and developed all these years, but if we look today, it will probably be difficult for us to find at least one whole building in this once beautiful place. as for the situation with the mariupol garrison, which is now temporarily under the control of the russian federation, then er, in principle, the condition in which they are, the conditions in which they are, er, satisfactory, now

the processes of exchange negotiations continue, er, the processes of exchanging the bodies of the dead have already moved from place we have already managed to carry out two exchanges, the first one was with us - it was 160 by 160 bodies and the second was 60 by 60, all the bodies of the ukrainian heroes that we took are already in kyiv and now there is a huge amount of work ahead of us in terms of knowledge of these bodies because most of them are in a terrible condition and visually it is absolutely impossible to know how to identify a person, so it will take a lot of time, but also the negotiations and processes for the return of absolutely everyone who left the territory of azov steel, this is absolutely the marine corps and the border guards and the police and the sbu are absolutely all the heroes who defended mariupol they must return home and we must work for it

every day because the russians worked very actively to create some kind of myth, a negative myth about the azov regiment and the people of azov i know for myself because over the last month i have been talking a lot with dutch, spanish, portuguese , and italian journalists, and every time they talk about azov, and especially this was in may, they say, well, azov is already such a story in the regiment and in azov citizens, what do you think, in what way can the world be convinced or defeated by this russian propaganda, and well, i always say that nitrogen is a part of the armed forces of ukraine, that is, the national guard of ukraine - this is an official armed formation , because there are no nazis there, they are among the nazis, as they say, they are not russians, why did the russians concentrate on azov and create

such a negative and shell for azov in the west that even the americans there doubted whether there are nationalists or nazis there or not yet russia really spent a lot of money and resources to demonize our unit , first of all, convincing everyone in the west that there are all these mythical terrible fascists, nazis and similar things in azov, but the fact is that all these definitions have characteristics well, by which they are defined. if we talk about nazi fascism, then we must understand that it must be based on something , like azov for the entire time of its existence. and all these eight years, this unit was on the line every day front and never left there changing sometimes only within himself,

rotating units on the front edge, but all this time he was on the defense of ukraine, and during all this time, azov absolutely never claimed, for example, the territory, or never once, internally, externally, we had no problems in relation to racial, religious, and any other issues in general, moreover, i always use a very simple example, which is very symbolic, or when i was the commander of the azov regiment, the artillery was commanded by one of the commanders in the artillery. there was a person who was born in israel, had a jewish name, a jewish surname, and absolutely nothing prevented him from commanding people in azov , which suggests that he probably did not feel any problems in relation to himself, while the russian federation constantly shows this is exactly the sign of nazism, or it is customary

to call it racism today, because it is a slightly different, slightly different form, i am actually happy that today many people in the world are already opening their eyes from russian lies and are beginning to see the truth about who azov really is and what is happening in ukraine and that azov is exclusively about the protection of the country and about love for ukraine and you don't know anything more about him in it azov has always been a structural part of the national guard a on today, azov already has several units, and it is included and not only in the national guard. and there is an azov unit in the armed forces of ukraine, and these are always the units that carry out orders and actually perform combat tasks on the front line for the protection of ukraine. you won't be able to find any other meanings in azov, because azov is only about protection and love for ukraine. by the way, dear tv viewers, i want to say

that today at 10:30 p.m. on our tv channel , the tv premiere of artem shevchenko's documentary mariupol will take place the city of the unconquered is dedicated to the events in mariupol in 2014, including the actions of azov during the liberation of mr. kostyantyn's city. explained that this temporary surrender of prisoners is a necessary condition for the subsequent exchange of prisoners of war during the last month, we witnessed how the so-called court of the so-called dnr began to pass sentences to those people who fought for ukraine, in particular, the death sentence was announced to three foreigners who fought for our un state says that it is a war crime to make such decisions that the world and ukraine can take, including to

protect our military, including from the azov regiment and border guards and representatives of the naval the infantrymen who have now been temporarily captured by the russian federation in order to avoid these sentences, which he calls a war crime, well, the first thing to do is to ensure that they receive the status of rural prisoners, because uh, when people uh, people are in prisoners of war, they are prohibited according to the rule of conduct, he should be subjected to some kind of prosecution, if they did not commit war crimes, and what's more, even if they are prosecuted, then it is

necessary to prove that these war crimes are connected, that is, it says that it is necessary to achieve with er why this is achieved recognized hm status of prisoners of war because er judging by the fact that er servicemen of the national guard er of the armed forces of ukraine are beginning to be tried there and it is not clear which jurisdictions er are not recognized by international law well, it is generally some well , it's not even that bullying is such a structure. well, these tortures, including i understand, are difficult to avoid, especially when it comes to some self-proclaimed pseudo-republic, and it's clear that if the president hadn't spoken there

zelenskyi, because on june 6, on journalist's day, he told the bbc that he did not know whether ukrainian soldiers were being tortured in captivity or not, he said that there was no such information. and regarding the so -called tribunal, which i have already mentioned, zelenskyi said that it should not be accepted seriously, since the plans of the russians are constantly changing, this is like a normal pr, said the president of ukraine, can the status of this public prisoner, maxime, save the captive ukrainians, because it is in the eyes of the whole world well, at least it has been announced that russia and ukraine have agreed that the fighters blocked at the azovstal plant will come out and they will be guaranteed that their status as prisoners of war will be transferred and then an exchange

is possible. they don't try not to talk about it, including president zelensky publicly, and yet, first of all, you have to understand that after the ukrainian heroes in mariupol became out of touch, conditionally speaking, from it is extremely difficult to get in touch with them now, in principle , the russians began to spread a lot, well , including the so-called ukrainians there, under the tutelage of the russians, they began to spread a lot of completely inadequate information that does not make any sense, or rather, has nothing to do with real life and almost all that absurdity about the courts about the deportation of those who are in taganrog and somewhere else, all this was a complete lie and exclusively informational manipulations and provocative such information operations in relation to

in relation to us, the status of a prisoner is definitely necessary in this case, because they need to be exchanged and we really need to provide all the legal support they need to the world, but i also think that we are dealing with completely inadequate enemies in which to spit on all of them, including international law, and that is why it is extremely important here not only to comply with all the legal contests and similar things, it is very important for the whole world to unite and move to more decisive actions and a more tough conversation with the russian federation because this is a country that only understands the language of power and no other language. it does not understand even if it promised something. even if there were agreements about something, it is absolutely worthless in the case of the russians, and you can count on the fulfillment of any promises or agreements only when there are in the hands of at least some tools or strong

positions and especially when the russians are constantly lying because the same commissioner for human rights or the so -called commissioner for human rights in the russian federation tetyana moskalkova says what is it really about? relatives and relatives of those who are in captivity do not really want them to return to ukraine, we have a little synchronicity. what do they think that ah they will either be re-sent to the front and they will be at the top of the mountains that's all i'm not entirely sure that she was sober when she said that but it looks like she was a little inadequate sir

kostyantyne, well, such an outright lie, as i say, the eyes just let the limits go into action every time, and er, i understand that this is probably directed at the domestic consumer, because, well, no one here is waiting for those who are in captivity in russia. well it can only be a russian propagandist or, well, a sober person, who in this case is from moscow, well, i don’t understand your bypass because well, what do you want from the major general of the russian ministry of internal affairs and by the very cooperation of the human rights commissioner in them with human rights and the major general of the ministry of internal affairs is from there what else did you want to hear from her? well, you know , nadiya dies last, especially, well, i want at least some kind of adequacy when a person

is completely inadequate, then the russian government is in power, and the position of human rights commissioner in the russian federation is essentially er, a person who is in the vertical of power in the school is not adequately and no no no no it is not known whether they can be called people i absolutely agree with this p maksym on april 18, the security service of ukraine released a video in which viktor was detained medvedchuk, putin's best man, who is accused in ukraine of treason, asked him to be exchanged for fighters , e.e., azov, or fighters defending mariupol, for civilians. it is clear that time has already passed. russia was talking about whether we need medvedchuk or not, but that's it boyish putin shouldn't just dump his godfather or can russia

, after all, exchange your associates for this state traitor to a liar and putin, putin's godfather. unfortunately, i am convinced that the azovians have a much greater value for russians than er, who is this moron who nobody needs now and who is trying to make at least some kind of price in order to exchange me is waiting for something to be exchanged somewhere, but it will definitely not be a very high price and it will definitely be uh-uh, it will definitely be non-azov, it is russia in principle not very, to be honest, i am already observing a lot, including inside the processes of exchanging bodies for exchange prisoners and
