oleksandr lungu, my greetings to you. good day. glory to ukraine. glory to the heroes. so, at the time of the invasion, your father was on the snake. and when was the last time you spoke to him, or when was the last time you saw him? and the last time we spoke to him was on february 24, that is, he wrote to us. the message that he can't see it now says that they will show that everything is normal. that was around half past four in the evening. this was the last and it was the last conversation. do you know him after that? where is he exactly ? or where he may be well presumably this is the city of sevastopol, but we don't know how it actually is because , er, who has already released whom, they said that they were in stary oskol, someone was in the kursk region

, that is, for sure, no one knows, but presumably this is sevastopol we are showing your father in the photo. and do you know approximately under what circumstances he was taken prisoner? direction, they were offered evacuation by boats, but they refused, that is, they stood until the last, but when the island was already captured, and not by a miracle, they all survived because they were hiding, well, as we see, there was no person hiding there, and it was simply a miracle that they all survived and they were taken prisoner later. well, they now have the status of prisoners of war. and yes, we have now achieved the status of prisoners. this is what we achieved , uh, first of all,

roughly speaking, because unfortunately, no one told us anything, that is, we did not know, well, we knew of the russians, about what they are. yes, they are in captivity, but there was no confirmation, and only now did we receive an official document about what they are, and how is your communication with the ukrainian authorities or with people related to these exchange processes, what are they doing now ? they tell you, well, we talk when irina vereshchuk was still engaged in exchanges, so we constantly called the joint center of the sbu to find out the lists, to find out who got into the exchange and who didn't. anywhere, the united center tells us that yes, they are on the lists, but no more, they say,

wait, be patient, and basically that 's all. there were about 80. well, in general, there were civilians and border guards, well, there were about 80 people, a little more . this is 100%, and i can't say exactly because it was loud. you remember this story with the border guards on the first day, yes, and i about marine marines were less talked about in the public space . moreover, 80 people, yes, unfortunately, this is the case. in fact, there should have been border guards there, because this is a border zone, the marines were there, as i understood, for reinforcements, but you know about them. they are just silent about them

, aren't they heroes? we want the maximum amount of attention precisely because they don't talk much about them, it's a feeling that they 've been forgotten. they served, they defended themselves, they stood to the last, and i want them as much as possible. spoke to bring them home as soon as possible. and some of the marines have already returned, although some or not at all, some have returned, and from our city, two people in particular have definitely returned. everything you wanted to say about it and address it is possible to someone specific. i would like it, not to whom specifically, i wanted it just so that it would be heard, so that they would not be

forgotten . i know on the first of april, when my dad was exchanged , they actually took him to the exchange, but at the last moment, the list on him was interrupted and he simply returned back, and i really want them not to forget about them , to remember that families are waiting for what already for the fourth month, our soldiers are in captivity and they don't know what's with us. everyone has a family. everyone has children. it's understandable. the power of propaganda is probably telling them that ukraine is gone, and so on, and i just want them to be returned home as soon as possible. principle, everything was not forgotten about them. and one more thing it's not a short question, love. and please tell me, due to the fact that these people's affairs are not close to their families, some payments are provided now. for example, such a sensitive topic is for you. it's understandable that

we want to return our relatives home as quickly as possible. that lives. as far as i know, there are families who have babies and wages paid after february 23. here and there, it’s just nothing and they refer to the fact that the status of captives is needed. they surrendered voluntarily, or they were taken captive, but it’s understandable - it doesn't work in any way, such a status does not exist, and we are now trying to get paid as much as possible, we don't need any separate payments, there are 100,000 or 30,000, as they say, but we just need something to feed the children. we don't know what's wrong with our relatives and we simply don't know what we live for. and that's why we 're now getting payments because it's stipulated by law

, that is, until the circumstances are clarified or before the return, and the payment must be made in any case. that's why we are now все работаем с юристамы как ты добибемся денег i heard you thank you very much i wish you as soon as possible hug your hug your father let him return to his family and all the rest the rest of the marines eh love lungo daughter of a captured marine from snake island alexandra longu was on radio svoboda well, even today, in the capital 's officers' building, they said goodbye to the military journalist and officer oleksiy chubashev, who died on june 10 in donbas. since 2015, oleksiy worked at the central television and radio studio of the ministry of defense of ukraine, he was the author of the program recruit yua-ua in december 19th, he became the head of this television and radio studio, which includes the army fm

military television of ukraine. well, last year chubashev finished his second contract with the armed forces. he was released to the reserve. on february 24 of this year, he returned to ranks of the armed forces of ukraine, oleksiy has a wife, a small daughter and a son who was born in march of this year. he came to our studio in 2015 at the height of the war in donbas. i can consider him my best student of course, then he wanted the actual project, and the shooting of the ra show, the twist, managed to implement this project with such modest forces of the military television of ukraine. i am sure that he had a lot of plans, dreams, and dreams about his activities. he told me that after the death of my fiance, he had another sister, every memory of

lyosha is filled with emotions. i am honored and proud that i knew him. and i am grateful to god that he gave me oleksiy and i thank his family and wife. president of serbia oleksandr vuchich confirmed that ex-high-ranking official of the security service of ukraine andriy naumov was detained at the border between serbia and north macedonia, and is being extradited on conditions to ukraine, buchach did not say andriy naumov, i will remind you, the person involved in a number of journalistic investigations about smuggled imports and corruption schemes at the customs was also involved in the investigation of journalists of the scheme program about the acquisition of elite property that is not justified with his official income, the security service came to the security service shortly after it was headed by ivan bakanov in 2019. well, naumov himself was actually called the second person in the security service after

ivan bakanov. in the summer of last year, the security service was dismissed on terms, but the reason the dismissal was not indicated , and it is not known for sure what influence andriy naumov had on the security service after his dismissal, at least. currently, this is a subject of discussion among politicians, and a few hours before the start of a large-scale invasion, it is known that naumov left the country, but already after the invasion , volodymyr zelensky deprived him of the rank of brigadier general. and on june 7, at the border crossing in the south of serbia, naumov was detained on suspicion of money laundering , and €600,000 and $125,000 were found in the car with him, the driver. currently, the government of serbia and the embassy of ukraine in belgrade have not answered the question of where the detainee is now and whether the issue of his possible extradition has been raised. and the president of ukraine, volodymyr zelenskyi,

criticized german chancellor olaf scholz's efforts to maintain a balance in relations between kyiv and moscow and called on scholz to be more unambiguous in his relations with ukraine. the premier will visit kyiv , zelensky said that this visit, if it happens , should not be limited to photos. refuses what will the german chancellor's visit to kyiv mean and what will be expected of him in the ukrainian capital, let's talk further with us on the connection of addresses umland, an analyst from that city center at the east european studies of the swedish institute of international relations, my greetings to you good afternoon, judging by the numerous reports in the media and comments and even the fact that scholz refused to comment on his visit to kyiv. probably, after all, macron dear scholz will arrive. do you have any

doubts? well, that's what i hear in germany that they really are will come, and it seems to me that it is good that these countries will be represented, because these are the countries that used to support russia and putin 20 years ago, they had such a special relationship with berlusconi, and with freud, and now the ministers and the president will come together and it's good, it's good, but it will be necessary to see what will come out of this meeting, what will be the result, well, volodymyr zelenskyi said that you shouldn't limit yourself to photos, well, he probably hinted , don't come empty-handed, and that's all i

i think that the question of ukraine's candidacy for the european union will be important here. i think the question of heavy weapons will be important for ukraine too. well, so that there would be more weapons, for example from germany. but i think that these topics are a little too germany and, in general, for the european union, they are difficult, because, for example, germany has its own problems with the weapons of its army and the question of whether there is a candidate for the candidacy. or it is not really as important as the perspective of a member of the membership for ukraine, as for me. it seems because ukraine already has an

association agreement and, in principle, if this association agreement is implemented, it will be a preparation for joining ukraine, because that's why i think that the most important issue for ukraine right now is the prospect of membership that was recorded in the official document of the european union that ukraine will become a member of the european union when it is ready well, in fact, the day before, the european editor of radio svoboda, the year of maps, yuzvak reported that citing his sources so far, he has reported that there is obviously a positive solution for ukraine and moldova, but there will be some conditions, it is not known at the moment what those conditions are. and we can now predict, guess what they might be under the conditions. membership or

begin the process of candidacy and entry into the european union, they must fulfill a very large number of these conditions because, well, the entire state needs to be rebuilt there, and in principle, this is all in this association agreement was written and i think it did not work out, the most important condition will be the fulfillment of the full implementation of this already signed association agreement. well, maybe let’s see, there is a lot left now. allow me to return to scholz. and you agree that scholz is actually doing the so-called great german with his policy towards ukraine a reversal from merkel's policy and to her own policy, which is the opposite, as some call it. and some believe that well, no, in fact

, he continues merkel's policy and very cautiously advocates the preservation of some ties with russia what can you say? well, i think that talking about relations with russia can only be said in the sense that diplomatic relations will remain and i think this is good. this is really a very important turn in foreign policy for germany. not only in relation to eastern europe, and in general, now there is a new foreign policy doctrine, the problem here is that germany is not ready for this, it ’s just that for 10 years, for ten years, we have conducted a completely different foreign policy through

infrastructural projects through cultural -is the projects of scientific cooperation there were in the classical field of foreign policy, they are burning in germany, and now berlin needs to take part in such a geopolitical conflict, to give weapons to ukraine, and it is difficult for germany because this brogue is partially absent and what is not there institutes in the program in er algora, my allegories , algorithms, mechanisms, experience in this field, and in ukraine, they often look at it and think that it is some kind of pro-russian or anti-ukrainian opinion, but in fact, it’s just it takes time for germany to rebuild

its entire foreign policy. in fact, there is another opinion. in front of the russians for the damage caused during the second world war, the ukrainian side and ukrainian diplomats always said for a moment that ukraine and belarus suffered no less. and why do you feel guilty only in front of russia? the model in germany does it change or it didn’t exist and it was just fiction. yes, i think 10 years ago it would have been possible to say that it’s just that many germans don’t understand what the ukrainians owe to the germans, probably even more than uh before uh russians because well in russia germany was only

partially occupied ukraine and belarus completely that is why it was a problem but it seems to me that in recent years it is an understanding that here ukraine also has a big uh guilt before in ukraine, it is, germany has this war, it is already for many you understand the germans, but if we talk about the issue of the model of ending the war, despite the fact that some leaders of the western world openly call putin a war criminal, there is a single vision of how the war in europe will end. great britain in the baltic countries has one thing, but germany, france, italy, maybe another. if we talk about

german elites, political elites, there is some consensus about how this should end. the war is in ukraine, but in fact there is no consensus in europe, there is a very active discussion about it in germany, and even in the parties themselves there are different positions, for example, in the social democratic party, in the christian democratic party, there are different people. there would be a radical vote and there is a more moderate vote, but that's why it's a big discussion. well, it seems to me that in fact even in eastern germany of eastern europe there is not a complete vision of what and what and what should actually happen that there ukrainian tanks should be in

moscow or what is this? this is what is meant by this, this is the victory over russia, and that is why. well, there are those too, of course, in europe it also has such an element that many people are simply afraid that this will turn into the third world war, what is this there will be a nuclear war that er then russia will also fight from germany and that there er it will be an apocalypse of some kind and er and russia plays very well with this er seven er thoughts and there is such a psychological war er in western europe in relation to this so that it does not turn into a third education you he and more one question about preserving putin's face

, what we know about what macron was talking about, i want to ask you , is this macron's approach unique, is it french or in germany? there is also a desire and desire of some politicians or all politicians to preserve putin's face in this war, yes , this is also being discussed in germany, and well, i am not so critical of that, for now. well, these western fronts will be united, and for the time being, the decisions will be more or less decisive, and that, well, these sanctions will continue to support ukraine. weapons and economic support, er, continues while this whole policy er, is it possible to make such statements well, this is if for as a signal for moscow yes what well, we would

like to finish it all already through talk hmm well, i don't think that this is any such signals are actually so important, they probably don't like us. i don't like them either, but it's more important . what will be... well, actually politics... what will be the content of the tents, not how, what political rhetoric will be there."

welcome to the european commission's own plan published by the american publication politiko bucimto wrote the day before. they are preparing to publish a positive conclusion for ukraine that it deserves the status of a candidate without any conditions. the policy refers to its sources. they are familiar with the details of these discussions and for their information in the european commission. they are aware of the price ukrainians are now paying and understand that they should send putin a signal in he has no chance to extend his sphere of influence to ukraine, this news about a possible positive decision of the european commission was immediately reprinted by both ukrainian and western media

however, it was not officially confirmed, they noted today that the discussions are still ongoing, although they already confirmed at the finish line only in the european commission that the conclusion for which they are waiting so much in ukrainian and in all european capitals will be on friday, that the commission has already decided, but this is a complete lie yesterday nothing was decided, a debate was held that will allow the members of the board of european commissioners to express their thoughts and views on this issue in order to prepare a decision on friday radio svoboda sources in the diplomatic circles of the eu are familiar with the east of yesterday's debates in the european commission and, however, they noted that the most likely scenario for ukraine is candidate status under certain conditions. because exactly such a decision, they say, will be supported in unison by all the leaders of the european union countries, who will ultimately decide whether

to grant ukraine candidate status, at least three countries are against this status being unconditional, because they have claims to the fight against corruption in ukraine and the rule of law, its political leadership is trying not to waste the few days left until such an important decision for ukraine is adopted and to convince partners that it is not yet have decided to support ukraine in the end on the way to the european union. the chairman of the verkhovna rada is now visiting austria, as you yourself mentioned. the deputy head of the president's office in denmark is ukraine's lawyers within the eu. its allies, the slovak prime minister, during a visit to berlin to the chancellor, support the candidacy ukraine 's historic decision will be approved by the leaders at the next summit in brussels at the end of june, june 23-24, to be exact, and the skeptics have already declared that they will consider the conclusion i will remind the european commission that it will be published on friday, june 17, but i will also remind you that it is

only a recommendation and an imperative - this conclusion is not a conclusion anyway, everything will depend on the political will of the leaders themselves. thank you zoryana stepanenko from brussels, we expect new details from you tomorrow, i think the village vasishchevo - this is kharkiv region was shelled on april 7, the premises of the educational complex of the temple, school, private houses, you still have them, it is literally 20 km from kharkiv, the journalists of svoboda yakyk went there what does this village look like, look further, the depth is up to 3 m, the diameter is a meter, the roof is damaged and the roof is seriously damaged, the perch is knocked out, together with the
