russians destroy severodonetsk, lysychansk mountain gold and nearby settlements, currently the local government collects information daily about the destruction of the housing stock in the future, this will be necessary to assess the damage and the need for restoration and the consequences of russian aggression. mario draghi and romanian president klaus iohannis, as well as french president emmanuel macron, the latter said the mass murders committed by the russian military are being investigated together with international experts have already received the first evidence of war crimes in irpen, mass

murders were committed, and we have received the first consequences of war crimes. i think our best answer is to restore these cities quickly. european leaders who came to visit irpen said that in kyiv oblast and they also are supposed to meet with the presidents of european countries, the head of our state volodymyr zelenskyi met, the public leaders of france, germany , italy and romania announced this for the first time, initially a full-scale invasions have arrived in ukraine according to the media, they are ready to demonstrate support for ukraine and discuss its application to join the eu. i will remind you of the conclusion of the european commission regarding ukraine, which should be made public tomorrow. well, let's return to the events of the war and what is happening in the war, the attack on the

agrarians, the occupiers fired at the farm in lukyanivsk, zaporizhzhia region , the regional administration reported that the enemy destroyed the administrative and warehouse premises with targeted fire, the hangar was destroyed, and the agricultural machinery located on the territory of the company destroys houses and mined infrastructure in the settlements of boryslav and kakhovsky districts in the kherson region, the situation is critical, the occupiers are looting and kidnapping local residents, the regional military administration reports that there is no medicine, it is impossible to deliver humanitarian aid, there is a big problem with withdrawing cash in the occupied part, there is no mobile communication in the de -occupied part networks work with interruptions in the vysokopol community, there is no electricity, water and gas,

active hostilities are underway, the struggle continues the ukrainians are fighting very effectively, this is how the chairman of the joint committee , the chief of staff of the united states, mark milen, assessed the performance of our armed forces. he noted that the armed forces of ukraine achieved serious success with the use of the emma 777 howitzer, which was provided by the allies, and expressed the hope that the ukrainians would also master the heimers systems, instead of the russian army for according to him, although it has a significant advantage in the number of artillery systems, it simply inflicts massive strikes on cities and resorts to chaotic fire, which turns out to be ineffective for the anti-terrorist forces they are preparing for military operations during training, they are working out various scenarios that they may encounter at the front, for example, they practiced

storming a building and clearing the premises from the enemy, as part of the work of the unit, our correspondents also saw an assault on a school where the enemy is located, servicemen of the territorial defense forces practice, part of the soldiers take a cover position and an assault position the group goes inside and cleans the room three rooms went quietly quietly in the unit military serviceman andriy is training for the armed forces joined on the 27th of february even though he had no combat experience after the start of the full-scale invasion the man needed a few days to finish things and together with a business partner to go to the army this experience and this time that we have here it

is really priceless because we understand that uh many do not have this, you can see that the training is multi-faceted, considering how diverse the combat operations are now and how insidious the enemy is, that we have to prepare for different scenarios , another fighter, andriy, is training in the unit had short combat experience even at the beginning of the russian aggression, fought in a volunteer battalion in the first days of a full-scale war, completed everyday tasks, and again took up arms in our country, such an anteater came out, everyone helped and taught each other, someone with experience came, who without experience, these are the guys who also they have enough, but we are already directly complementing those people who transferred for the first time, a lot of people are holding weapons until recently, the very first time in their hands, but today it is already possible to work with them next, the children of our brothers protect themselves and save their

lives. the main thing that soldiers are taught is self-defense . instructors work during several years of the russian -ukrainian war. that is, people in such a short period of time that we are here have learned a lot of very important things that will provide them later in life, fighters are convinced that the experience they receive invaluable training, because they train with professional instructors and in conditions close to military ones, they constantly train in order to later effectively destroy the enemy at the front lines. accordingly, the

statement was made by the slovak head of defense and yaroslav nagy, but the m113 armored personnel carriers donated by lithuania are already being used on the front lines the defense minister of the baltic country reported to our military, i would like to remind you that the total amount of aid from lithuania reached 115 million euros, new weapons will allow ukraine to return the occupied crimea and donbas, said the minister of defense of ukraine, oleksiy reznikov, in an interview with the sinn newspaper in brussels, according to him, this will take place in three stages, the first will be stabilization the situation on the ground, then the russian troops will be pushed back to the positions before the invasion on february 24. only at the last stage will the liberation of crimea be discussed, but the military method, at the same time, will not be considered. the new wave

of western sanctions caught up with the patriarch of the russian orthodox church kirill and a number of kremlin criminals . the forced deportation of more than 200,000 ukrainian children was sanctioned by politicians and officials who supported the war and four officers of the 64th separate motorized rifle brigade who killed, raped and tortured the civilians of buchi, another symbol of the resilience and indomitability of the ukrainian people. banks of canned food from the mykolaiv region. they survived when the house was completely destroyed by raishi shelling. the

maria gurska and i are not called andriy saichuk today we will continue this broadcast and we will actually talk about a very important event precisely the visit of four heads of european countries at once, and three of them are a country, i do not want to insult romania, our neighbors, and the president of such a country also came to us. and mr. johansen, but still, these are the pillars of the euro, the european union, the old europe in europe, this means france, italy and germany , these are the decisions of the european commission that we will hear tomorrow regarding ukraine and its application for obtaining the actual prospects of membership in the european union, and right now we are talking about the status of the candidate . serhiy gerasimchuk, deputy executive director director of the council of foreign policy, ukrainian prisma, we congratulate mr. serhiy well, here we see fresh news that a meeting has already taken place with the

president of france, the menu of macron, the chancellor of germany , olef scholl - this is the prime minister of italy, mario dear and president of romania klaus iohannis with the president of ukraine volodymyr zelensky, we know little at the moment that emmanuel macron, after arriving in kyiv on a night train together with other leaders, highly praised the heroism of ukrainians after his visit to irpen, which, as we understand , has already taken place e-e quotes of the french president are cited lomont e prime minister of italy mario draghish told journalists after a walk through the destroyed streets of irpen together with macron scholz and johannis we will rebuild everything russians destroyed the kindergartens and playgrounds, all this will be restored, so let's try to evaluate the

visit of the leaders of the european union to ukraine, what does this visit actually mean and what to expect from it, i ask mr. serhiy, i think that when we talk about the visit of the leaders france, germany , italy, and romania to ukraine, it is necessary to talk about several dimensions of the situation. candidate status for membership in the european union and obviously wanted to hear more and more specifically about the support both economically and directly militarily that these states can provide us that the european union can provide us. if we talk about the leaders themselves and about their motivation, then they have i we could also talk about several motives, of course, about the moral side of the matter, namely, that

they want to demonstrate ukraine's support for hryts, taking into account the losses that we bear in our just war with the russian federation. however, i i think we should also talk about others. france and germany have long claimed to be the leaders of the european union. in fact, they are recognized as such leaders, but in recent months this leadership has faltered due to the fact that the central european states are worried about the slow reaction of france and germany to the development of events in on the immediate border of the european union, such concern, such fear, even er, shows that they understand that in the event that russia commits some crimes against the state, which are included in the list of lithuania, estonia, poland, the reaction could also be very slow, and so the leaders of france and germany first of all needed to restore their leadership, restore the confidence of the states of

central and eastern europe that the european union is one and berlin and paris are not will block some decisions when this decision will concern the interests of the central-eastern european states, that's exactly why i assume that scholtz and macron came after a trip to romania, that's exactly why they the president of romania klaus iohannis joined. by the way, this is also a very symbolic visit, because the visit of gannis was also postponed in 2017. only now did it take place to show that central and eastern europe in the person of president iohannis and western europe in the person of scholz draga and macron are the only ones support ukraine, which means that they support the eastern european policy of the european union in general, and here we can only expect full solidarity and support, an important element, in my opinion, is also what is on the eve during the visit, while in the romanian constance , president macron made very strong statements

with strong messengers, saying that these messages should be heard in ukraine, or that europe should send one clear message to ukraine, and it should be a strong political message, of course, in ukraine, it would be more desirable to send weapons to tanks and artillery, but also a clear message, in particular, regarding the status of a candidate for ukraine in the process of acquiring membership in the european union is also very important, and it is obvious that other countries of the european union are very are largely focused on berlin, paris and rome, and we can hope that strong messages from the leaders of these countries will also settle ukrainian positions, and those who are still wavering may reject their hesitations and also support ukraine's candidacy in the european union as a candidate, that's all very good, well, in principle, they said in direct text that the main goal of this visit is to push ukraine to some kind of, we will disperse

it in general, at least theoretically possible option and is it really one of well, this is the main agenta actually of this meeting, in your opinion, i do not believe that such incitement will take place. ukraine itself has repeatedly demonstrated that it is not ready for such a decision, that you cannot talk about reconciliation with russia now, because reconciliation is not talked about during the heat of hostilities, and i i do not think that the presidents and leaders of the european union have come to push ukraine to do something that ukraine is not inclined to do without prior preparation for this in order to face a negative response and look at least by incompetent non-influential european politicians. it seems to me that after all, they are looking for some sort of compromise in the issues of the candidate. perhaps the european leaders will voice the demands

that ukraine should fulfill before acquiring the status of a candidate state and before the summit, because i really want to hope that at the summit of the european union, we we will get this status well, as for whether we will be inclined to peace well, i don't see any reason to say that we are ready for such a decision, and so... well, it seems to me it is illogical to go to kyiv with a raw proposal for which there is no support from the citizens of ukraine, the government of ukraine, or the parliament of ukraine. by the way, serhiy, while andriy was formulating this question, i was just reading the latest news that the head of the russian negotiating team, volodymyr medinsky, complained that ukraine in the last two months, she has not been able to respond to the kremlin's proposals even before the conclusion of the peace treaty. this is a russian propaganda and information agency and the ss cites this quote from medyna. well, i wonder why she

it still sounds right now, despite the fact that, as we say, there is no arrival of world leaders in connection with uh, there are any agreements with uh, the kremlin, and we really hope that they actually brought us a positive conclusion as the european commission, but why these medynskyi's statements sound right now, in your opinion, you know , in fact, the russians' statements sound very ambiguous. scenario, on the other hand, we have a quote from medvedev, who spoke about lovers of the livery and spaghetti genre who came to kyiv. it seems to me that talking like that about people who are playing in your favor is, well, at least inappropriate, so russia, in my opinion, is not up to the mark understanding what is actually happening and what to expect from europe, and europe has taken a lot of unexpected steps for the sea in

recent months, and russia is trying to confuse the audience, confuse the europeans, pay the ukrainians, and make efforts to this visit was perceived as something negative, so that in the future there would be uncertainty in ukrainian european relations, and russia may well exploit this uncertainty in order to show in order to actually demotivate ukrainians in explaining to them its old narrative, which has been known since 2013, that no one in europe is not waiting so, of course, putting european leaders in a bad light would now be very beneficial to russia, although european leaders in themselves, even if they are not guided by ukrainian interests, but guided by the desire to maintain leadership in central eastern europe, i think they are now not inclined to any pro-russian scenarios, they understand that by pushing ukraine to a pro-russian

scenario to a russian scenario, they thereby push central-eastern europe away from them, push it closer to the united states, closer to britain closer to one's own strategic autonomy, let's say in the format e-e three seas of initiative three seas therefore, if we use logic and if we listen morally, it seems to me that there are more arguments in our favor although, of course, we cannot rule out the fact that someone uses cynology as an immorality, and hmm, inspired by other tools that moscow itself uses, in fact, before this visit, there were a lot of quotes and scholz and macron, who actually testified that there is a certain certain desire to go to ukraine to make peace, but at the same time i myself coincided with some other statements already here in kyiv. everyone was talking about something else, er, reuters er, it quoted that france already wants

ukraine and the crimea to be recaptured, for example, and so on. what does this have to do with it? indeed, something changed at the time of this visit was in itself the visit of mr. macron to romania. and in romania, literally these days, the bucharest nine, that is, the baltic states, the visegrad four, romania and bulgaria, was leaning in romania. i assume that during the meeting of the leaders of the bucharest deva certain messages were discussed and these messages were also conveyed to the french leader to president macron during macron's meeting with yoganis back in bucharest. and so this was the first argument and the second argument. i think that ukraine it is quite fair that foreigners begin their visits to our capital after visiting irpen. i think that this

socio-psychological effect is the effect of the fact that the french and germans see what actually happened, and it leads to a rethinking of the position and a rethinking of the desire to talk with russia, let's say the chancellor himself -sholtz, while currently in irpen, spoke about the fact that he was shocked by the demi-cats that he saw and that he was convinced that russia was waging a war of destruction. well, this war is completely senseless, and such words can be heard from the sun the squad is often called rather a person who is not prone to emotions or empathy. this means that the visit to irpen had an effect on him. so we have a total visit to irpen as a psychological effect. argument and

all. this leads to the fact that we have a situation that is more favorable to us, such a question is literally on a visually aesthetic background. but what happens to me is these photos when these leaders arrived and they all changed into suits the beautiful looking ones came with cots to look and zelensky, who came out to them in such an emphasized military uniform, stylish t-shirts in sneakers, that’s ok, i don’t have a problem with that, but the question is different. i’m in the last well, i don’t know, a couple of years, and the war only accentuates this trend i follow the fact that ukrainian diplomacy is more and less diplomatic in statements in some er, actually official announcements in notes and so on, that is, there is more of such straightforward religious insults, sometimes claims of some kind

manipulations, even uh, is it? well, that is, is it? is it always good because, well, here love is a mirror , for example, in the last interview they said that biden is frankly annoying, for example, this way of communication between the president's office and zelensky personally, and it also imposes certain tensions let's put it this way, the communication spokeswoman writes about the fact that he is the same as chancellor scholz in the same way. well, he has his own biases, so he also does not like this very style of communication with ukrainian thematic circles. well, there is the ambassador melnyk is also very sharp-tongued, but actually, in your opinion, father, this kind of directness, directness, and sincerity of communication is possible. straightforwardness and sometimes

pretentiousness eh hmm doesn't always work and in other conditions eh there would be high chances that it caused pure rejection vovka so when the chinese began to openly troll the europeans, sometimes the chinese began to openly troll the union , in general it is understandable and maybe someone there thinks that this is purely our achievement, but only a combination of these factors leads to the fact that relations with ukraine are now developing in a rather positive way. because if we had only mr. melnyk's statements or other impetuous attacks, then maybe it worked to a much lesser extent, we see that the head of the european parliament, robert medzola, commented on the visit of the eu leaders to ukraine, calling his flight important which may affect the eu's decision to grant
