staff of the armed forces of ukraine that the russian army will now focus its efforts on continuing the offensive on slovyansk, donetsk region, radio liberty correspondent serhiy horbatenko works in slovyansk, he is in touch with us. in my greetings, what is the situation in sloviansk, because reading the news i see reports that russian troops are advancing closer and closer to sloviansk in sloviansk for about half an hour , the air alarm siren has been sounding. i counted about four or five explosions with a characteristic metallic rattle, well, judging by the sound, it's somewhere on the outskirts of the city. i understand that the shelling is also going on. people who live in one of the neighborhoods, which is close to the izyum direction, are reporting that the aviation is flying and now literally for half an hour

the shelling intensified very much. well, in general, as for the russian offensive, the ukrainian military continues to hold it back in several directions at once. first, it is the direction from the e estuary. donets, but they are actively shelling the urban-type villages of ryhorodok, which are located on our side of the river, but so far they are not advancing, and active hostilities continue in the village of bogorodichne, it appears for three days in the summary of the general staff. this village is located not far from the kyiv kharkiv dovzhansky highway through which is the supply of weapons to ukrainian troops and if there is movement in that direction, in addition to sloviansk, there is also a threat of a group of ukrainian troops defending the village of dolyna, the village of dolyna is located on in one direction of the russian offensive from izyum to slavyansk, the situation is currently the same as for the surrounding cities, a strong

explosion was also heard now, and as for the surrounding cities, tonight russian troops shelled pokrovsk, as the mayor of pokrovsk, ruslan trebushkin, said, the rocket destroyed the usual railway car in this car was humanitarian aid, more precisely food, that is, the russian serhiy horbatenko literally joined us from sloviansk to the sounds of shelling and explosions. so what is happening on the front line in the donetsk region, the journalists got to the village of new york, where they talked with the ukrainian defenders who are holding the defense there, look at the

artillery shelling. well, about this situation, what good is it? russia has made a big mistake , for sure, ukraine is a strong nation. we will win , that is, in 3.5 months we are already facing the largest state in the world, you can say, and the second army in the world, as they said. that's what the weddz guys are and something is not special about them, it turns out now they are digging a little and still do not retreat, how many losses have they suffered equipment by manpower, but still they do not

leave, that is, they already have some priority, not just to capture the donbas there, or something else, they want to go further, that is, they send their people to certain death and simply want to destroy their nation under the initiative of those who want our nation to destroy ukraine, the shooting goes on for days well, not like that, there are breaks of two hours, but they often shoot like that, what is my opinion about this war, he entered ukraine in vain, this is

the first thing, and secondly, i can’t understand why they are blaming him very often today we threw shrapnel at you from there today. this was a report from donetsk region. well, now to luhansk region, russian forces have taken control of most of the city after a month of heavy fighting for severodonetsk. the defenders of ukraine are getting an industrial zone of an industrial zone, according to the current review of british intelligence. ukrainian forces and several hundred civilians are in underground in the bunkers

of the chemical plant, nitrogen in the city's industrial zone further, russian forces will most likely be concentrated around nitrogen, analysts note. and as long as the ukrainian defenders hold on, russia is unlikely to be able to quit their forces for other tasks is stated in the current review what is happening in luhansk region, let's talk further with us on the link roman vlasenko head of the north donetsk district state administration my greetings to you good evening, what is the situation in north donetsk now in the middle of donetsk, defensive actions continue, the russians are powerfully using artillery of our defenders, really our guys are holding the defense in the main industrial zone, but the surrounding residential areas are suffering because of russian shelling, there are a lot of fires, a lot of destruction, our guys control the industrial zone and the surrounding neighborhoods , the rural private sector around

severodonetsk, the situation is complicated by the fact that the logistics are a little disrupted . evacuation, the delivery of humanitarian aid to civilians in severodonetsk, and secondly, from a military point of view - this is a little more troublesome for us to talk about an encirclement. currently, there is no encirclement, there is no blocking of our defenders , because, in addition to the severodonetsk armed forces, they control significant territory on that side of the donets , so if the situation is conditionally speaking controlled, but very difficult, in fact, the entire luhansk region is being shot at

in the direction of lysychansk, the russians are operating from the side of the mountain community, and the third direction is from the popasnya community in the direction of berestov e to bakhmut in order to cut off the road that connects luhansk region with danykh. in general, the situation is as follows the day before, the head of the civil administration of severodonetsk, oleksandr stryuk, said that there are approximately 550 civilians at the bomb shelters, more precisely, the nitrogen enterprise, and the russian army is constantly shelling this facility. well, in general, i will remind you that there are up to 10,000 people in the city. please tell me , are you not afraid that severodonetsk can to become the second mariupol, it can theoretically become the second mariupol a-a for today well , it is necessary to understand that nitrogen and this is a few hectares of land er-e civilians are there in two bomb shelters that are located on a very large

territory, that is, a big threat, at the moment they have no more problems because there are very limited supplies of food and water there, and again, if aviation is used, this can also have negative consequences. well, and the cockpit, as i said, for now evacuation is impossible, it is impossible to deliver humanitarian aid. we will see how events will develop further. i think we have two ways, the first is in communication. it will be possible to think about the evacuation or the organization of a humanitarian corridor for the evacuation of a civilian at the time when we carried out the evacuation on the last day. this is about two weeks ago. there were no people who wanted to leave the nitrogen every time there was an evacuation. why am i asking about this because already yesterday we heard from

the russian side calls specifically for those who are at the enterprise to turn themselves in as prisoners or say that death awaits them, so i am clarifying whether you know the conditions in which these people are staying and how long they will be able to stay there. to hold out well, i think that they will be able to hold out for a few more days, maybe not even days, weeks, uh, i think that the situation with drinking water is very critical from the point of view of destruction, well, there are no such critical destructions yet regarding, well, surrendering to prisoners, i think so, the question is not at the moment stands because, as i say, there is no encirclement there and the guys are not blocked on the nitrogen, they are deliberately on the defensive and are quite motivated with a high fighting spirit . all people

all the same, they are not always in the warehouses 24/7 or go out there or eat - to prepare food is a plus, well, in some cases, people are not always so disciplined and responsible in their attitude to the situation that is happening, that is why there may be injuries, again, if there are injuries, then guys with experience our military took out the wounded to provide medical aid, but to you this is this, but to you this situation does not remind you of mariupol. i'm thinking about talking about this, i understood you in the morning. one more question, please tell me. about which one, of course. if you know, of course, the number of russian troops currently concentrated in severodonetsk. well, again, the same

international experts say that we are talking about 15-20 battalions. tactical groups, respectively, this is 15-20 thousand personnel , and the last two or three days ago there were conversations that additionally units from the zaporizhia direction are transferred from the izyum region to severodonetsk, therefore, severodonetsk is currently i think the hot spot here is the concentration of the russian military, the most dynamic combat operations are taking place in the vicinity of north donetsk and our guys are holding back a very large part of the invading army, which is currently waging its war in ukraine, well, they say that this is without a doubt, at least they confirm international military analysts thank you for your comment roman vlasenko the head of the north donets district state administration was on radio svoboda despite the fact that

luhansk region is completely and completely under fire from time to time time, it is possible to get civilians out of there, it is such a quiet evacuation, usually in small groups and without prior announcements, so the day before from lysychansk and privilly, it is literally right

next to severodonetsk. volunteers, so we will not leave the street until there

are people, we will carry food at such a time, until it is gone, then it hurts, it hurts, hold on so that lysychansk is ours, so that they are not here it was let them go to their own taras they bombed the windows and doors and fences of the house in general, you make me want to live even though it hurts to live nowhere i decided to leave to go to my sister as children everything is to family to children i am looking forward to the meeting in ukraine in which

representatives of 50 countries will participate yes called ramstein three heads at the meeting of the us secretary of defense lloyd austin and the secretary general of nato and genstoutenberg announced that at this meeting it will be announced about the provision of new weapons to kyiv. of ukrainian artillery in separate areas 10 to one and once again reminded that kyiv is waiting for weapons. my colleague zoryana stepanenko zoryana is watching the progress of the meeting in brussels. my greetings. do you have any news? i congratulate you with my own. as you already mentioned , the meeting is still going on in about an hour . then it will be possible to talk about its results in more detail. well, you know how and most importantly when to arm ukraine so that it can block the russian offensive in donbas in these minutes and the ministers of defense and allies decide for nato and their partners, almost fifty countries, so that

ukraine eventually won, rallied at the initiative of the united states in the so-called ramstein format, and its first meetings ended quite fruitfully for ukraine, for two dozen participating countries then announced military aid packages and ammunition for artillery and tanks went to ukraine coast guard systems against ship missiles and this meeting is the third accordingly, that is why ramstein 3 and it gathered even more participants joined georgia moldova ecuador ukrainian minister of defense now explains to everyone how difficult the situation is at the front today, and all because of the lack of the necessary equipment, this photo fence is an opportunity for ukrainian minister reznikov to inform us what ukraine needs immediately, and for nato allies to make new announcements regarding support for ukraine, they are focused on continuing to supply military equipment there which ukraine needs to seize

the initiative, including heavy weapons and long-range range systems. how urgent is the need for the most long-range and artillery, the transfer of which was announced today before the meeting with the secretary general, you heard it described in the president's office. so there they said that the russian artillery on certain areas of the front is 10 times greater than the military forces of ukraine. well, the length of the line along which the battles are taking place is more than 1,000 km , the military stands, but they ask every day the military and political leadership of ukraine when to wait for weapons and this is the same question, the president's office today publicly addressed the participants of the rammstein format and the urgency of deliveries is also well aware of the western partners of ukraine in particular, the united states, we have already done a lot, but we should not waste time. we are going to deepen our support for the armed forces in today's struggle to increase their strength in the face of tomorrow's

threats . well, so far, ukraine has not received a tenth of what it requested from its western partners, the ukrainian ministry of defense said the day before, so before the third ramstein meeting, the ukrainian leadership again announced the entire list of military needs mentioned there, in particular, a thousand 155-mm howitzers, 500 tanks and 2,011 armored vehicles, and not only i will not list everything in order not to take up time, the head of the pentagon who, at the meeting the day before , announced washington's readiness to hand over to ukraine all the weapons it needs now army and noted the desire of other countries to significantly help, when the meeting ends, we will hear the announcement of new packages of military aid for ukraine , cnn wrote about this, referring to an unnamed

the source is also from the pentagon well, which countries of ukraine support and what, accordingly, fill these military packages, this is not mentioned in the publication, we are waiting for official news, the meeting will end in about an hour, then the head of the pentagon should go to the press and report what was actually agreed upon and if we talk about the ukrainian minister of defense oleksiy reznikov, you will not talk to the press, and the ministry of defense has taken the position that actually weapons like money likes silence, i understood you perfectly, thank you, we will to monitor the situation in brussels and we are waiting for news from you. well, as of now, ukraine has received from western partners about 10% of the military aid necessary to counter russian aggression. at least this is what deputy defense minister hanna malyar said the day before questions like silence, why is this

happening despite the fact that in public almost all european countries and the united states of america show their support for ukraine, then why is support coming so slowly, let's talk further with we are in touch with oleksandr khara, an expert on foreign and security policy at the center for defense strategies, my congratulations. well, 10%, if you trust the words of ms. malyar, there is no reason not to trust her. she is, after all, the deputy minister of defense. it is clear that there are those who help us tremendously, but it is certain that their capabilities are not infinite. i mean, first of all, the baltic states of poland, they have done much more than what is powerful and in the military from the point of view of industrial potential in germany, we will wait for mr. ulas shosholets in kyiv and he will probably bring something. and i don't think it will be leopards, but we will say so in some way. there must be some kind of equipment if we go to the united states

. there are certain problems from the point of view of that. that the key task is not only to support ukraine, but to avoid direct escalation with the russian federation, and that is precisely why we see such a delayed consideration of the provision of new systems. weapons, first of all, for science. yes, now, in the end, they even gave salvo systems, but with a limited radius of action. and this agreement is actually interagency, and that is to avoid, let’s say , accusations or grounds in the kremlin to believe that the united states are part of this set, and they definitely stop or slow down at least uh-uh such assistance plus there are technical things uh, when was the decision made, for example, to provide us with a mercedes, then uh, only then did they start training our

military, if they did it in parallel, that is considered the issue and began to train our military. that is, it would certainly speed up the provision of such weapons. i think that the americans should draw a conclusion from this and already now let our military train, and that means the combat drones that they may give us the opportunity to buy from the americans and aviation , mr. hare is in touch with us, yes, something happened to your connection, you can hear us, yes, yes, i see you from the center in the capital, but the connection is suspended for a moment, for a second, a-a i want with you here's what to discuss look, there is such an opinion, it most often comes from skeptics, from those who do not believe in such a very quick, quick, quick provision of aid to ukraine, and yes, these people say that the west is not interested

, they say, in a quick victory for ukraine, because they do not know what in this case can happen in russia itself, which has nuclear weapons. and what they say is a somewhat protracted, somewhat sluggish war, this is one of those acceptable options for the west, and they say that is precisely why the weapons are arriving, as they are arriving not very slowly, to allow holding more or less position, but not very quickly, so that in a very short period of time ukraine managed to win in this, whatever you say, i think that this is a theory from the side, it is approximately the same approach when in soviet times they accused the west of wanting to weaken the soviet union and that's exactly why they didn't open the second front, we understand perfectly well that it's absolutely not true that britain and the americans were preparing for the normandy landings, too . and this is what's happening now.

at least i liked the introductory part of the essay. he said that she did a lot for him, but we need to do more. in order for ukraine to get everything it needs, not only now, but also for the future, the most important thing is that what happened was that at first we gave everything possible and gave it quickly, so that we could to use, first of all, these are soviet or russian models of weapons, and then they began to introduce heavier weapons, such as howitzers, first of all, and they presented them in such a way that he can give them as soon as possible, now the ukrainian side is promoting the concept that we have certain missions, certain military goals , and actually these weapons that are provided to us. they should not just be of the same caliber, but they should actually fill those gaps in our capabilities that will allow us to perform certain tasks, it can be for half a day over there by sea, is it there in the direction of north donetsk or slavyansk? actually, i think that if the problem is in another language, what

are we fighting for? we have to remember who they are professionally . sensei what it is better than the other and in the sense that they have a lot of resources and in fact they outnumber us in the number of people and in the amount of equipment and in the amount of important culture and actually therefore, everything that they gave us is simply, well, it dissolves taking into account the length of our front and we definitely have to remember that the north was kicked out of kyiv from chernihiv oblast, but that doesn't mean that they won't try to do something here again, and that's why we'll say that there are limitations, resources are needed, and they need to be jumped all over europe. the most important thing is from the united states, and there is such an interagency process, there are certain, let's say, strategies that do not want to deepen the conflict with the russian federation, they are trying to avoid and with such gradual actions, well, actually, well, i would

say that they are setting us up somewhat in the sense that we due to the lack of the necessary power, we are carrying out this war on our own shoulders, i mean our military and the equipment that is there, but for sure this is not such a plan that the ukrainians and actually our enemies weaken each other on the contrary well, there would be no sense in this rammstein and there would be no sense in the americans show that we want to strengthen you after the war to the extent that the russians will never again seize upon you to submit this definitely does not fit with this theory when we will also weaken because we have a population of 35-40 million, and our population is 140 million, of course, they can generate, well, after a certain time, more sweat, because every person is valued, and i absolutely believe in the sincerity of the guy visiting other western military politicians, officials . which then

you are waiting for specific decisions in brussels today, and the main thing is what markers for you will indicate that this meeting is now positive for ukraine. well, i think that a certain number of countries will announce new, let's say, supply plans. these will be some financial figures or figures in the amount of funds that will be provided to us, and then it may be the terms or definitely that by every day this is this loss. if we don't have what to dispose of our enemies, that's what i think is otsi give numbers they they the most important a definitely, and i hope that they will accept our concert, when it is help, it is not just to write it down in numbers
