from this distance, somehow, they got settled, and we have a lot in the last eight years, and as i already said, i visited your musicians, performers, the kharkiv opera theater, a wonderful tour, and recently , i completely gave books translated. i think that i see how our institutions are cultural and not only er non-commercial, they also work in this damp spring, the director of delphi of the lithuanian edition . your attention maria gurska andriy saichuk and further radio svoboda is a partner project on our airwaves my greetings are svoboda life my name is vlad and lazur mimo on the pages of radio svoboda on facebook and on youtube where i encourage you

to subscribe and also on the espresso tv channel this afternoon russian troops carried out an airstrike on lysychansk - this is luhansk region. at least three people died and seven were injured, the head of the region, serhiy gaidai, said, according to him, they hit one of the buildings where people were hiding at the moment, the rubble is being dismantled at the site of the impact, we will monitor this situation. meanwhile, all the main bridges across the siverskyi donets river, which connect north donetsk with the territory controlled by kyiv, have most likely been destroyed. this is stated in the current british intelligence report. the head of the luhansk region, serhii gaidai, spoke on the air, the report also reports that ukraine probably succeeded in withdrawing most of its combat units that initially held severodonetsk, the situation remains extremely difficult for the ukrainian forces and civilians who remain east of the river, the report says, russian troops are most likely to launch

attacks under a foreign flag around donetsk in order to curb pro-ukrainian sentiment, this is what is said in the current review of the american institute for the study of war, the day before, residents of donetsk and makiyivka reported heavy shelling infrastructure in both cities, the leaders of the so-called dpr accused ukrainian troops of shelling, but social media users and the ukrainian center countering disinformation refuted these statements and stated that the shelling was probably carried out by russian troops with the aim of promoting anti-ukrainian sentiment or in order to carry out mobilization in the occupied territories. well, the attack under a foreign flag may be a response to the statements of western leaders about increasing military aid to ukraine. according to the report of the institute for the study of war in donetsk region, radio liberty correspondent serhiy horbatenko is in touch with us serhiy greetings, what is the situation today i congratulate my own, now the shelling has intensified, if

for at least three days before that the residents of the cities of donetsk region heard relative silence, then last night the shelling resumed and the aviation was working, the artillery started working and yesterday the russian troops hit two peaceful cities at once, this is the city of kostyantynivka and the city of pokrovsk, and a resident of kostyantynivka remnants of russian rockets spread on social networks and later the police reported that one civilian was killed and three others were injured in kostyantynivka, and today i was in pokrovsk and saw there a large tear from the rocket somewhere about five or six meters deep, the police say that this rocket was fired from an aircraft, an air-class missile, land in pokrovsk, we currently have two injured civilians, as well as approximately 12 a-a private buildings that well, some of they are now

completely unfit for life, what i saw were destroyed roofs, broken windows, and then one man said that he was at home during the rocket explosion, and right in front of his eyes, the roof of the house jumped up , and for a while he was in the air, and then it collapsed to from the bottom and he showed it. this roof, which went in waves and completely separated from the walls. i also talked with the local residents. old grandmothers are crying, well, they are literally crying . i couldn't stay on my feet, so-and-so, the explosive wave was powerful, and in addition to residential buildings, i also saw in pokrovsk that there was a destroyed building base, so you see, such a person escalated as well as in addition to the building base and also a lot damage was done to the station, which is also

located nearby, well, at least none of them, i emphasize, and there are none there. that is, it was an action aimed purely at the civilians of pokrovsk. thank you very much serhii serhiy horbatenko, a correspondent of radio svoboda works in the donetsk region. well, as a result of the attack on the city of dobropillia, it is also donetsk region, one civilian was killed, private houses were damaged, the night before, russia fired an anti- ship cruise missile at dobropil, you can see the consequences of this attack below

miraculously miraculously, even though we have everything in our house broken into pieces, that’s what we were lying in bed

with the military from here shelled the suburbs and outskirts of kharkiv since the beginning of the russian occupation, the village had no electricity , there was no water, people ate what was in the cellars, well, they lived there accordingly due to hostilities, the village was destroyed, one of the streets was also destroyed damaged houses, however, people are returning there.

look at the next report. little rogan meets with burnt and shot cars, cars and trucks as evidence of the occupation. all the civilians of the russian military were here for 32 days. recently, some people spent a whole month in the occupation. for the first time, russian equipment was seen here. on march 1, 1947, they stopped counting. oh my god, we took her by the head, she slapped me. they drive, drive, live without light, water, gas, and heating, women tell stories, they went for water under bullets, they baked bread themselves and shared

supplies among themselves, the boat just did n’t reach the full occupation, we can’t get through here, there is no way for us to get there i didn’t forget, they said it was seven in the morning. yes, it was possible for the children to go out like that. under some kind of shelling, the peasants hid in the cellars, they warmed themselves with burghers and burghers . on the farm there is also a forest strip and a warehouse, now on the place of the hangar there is a pile of burnt metal , wrappers from russian dry munitions are found, and the shells were not yet exploding, the shells were very scary to the water, it was ours who gave them the battles for the liberation of the little hornet, which raged for three days, the remains of russian equipment are still scattered around the village, a blown-up tank, parts of a downed helicopter in the middle of a bmp field in the bushes and

here and there stood the htz of the state farm - it's scary that there were so many corpses, the horror of the whole broken state farm, one part of those battles valentyn repin she sat in her own cellar and says she couldn't stand it, went to kharkiv and had to flee through the fields because they wouldn't let her out of the village. what's enough? and this is how our guys laid down, the ukrainians are standing there for 3 km, so they kissed their feet to their native village. the woman returned a week ago. thank god that our ukraine it was a report from the kharkiv region. meanwhile, in captured kherson, doctors en masse refuse to cooperate with the russian invaders. this is reported by the non-governmental organization crimea sos, according to the organization, doctors issue vacations or applications to be released in order to avoid pressure from the military of the russian federation. meanwhile, radio svoboda

recorded the story of a doctor from kherson who, after the occupation of the city, left for the dnipro with her family. listen to her . number plates and pasted letters z was very unpleasant , some kind of military vehicle was always patrolling, but not one or several around the city and the machine guns were aimed at pedestrians, it was very unpleasant when you see them not you don't see anyone, they patrol his city, that's why you see it every day. how long have you been under occupation in kherson at the beginning of march, when the military entered and we left on the fifth of may, and all this time you have been living under occupation? yes, we worked at that time in a hospital, a hospital worked, but the work schedule was very tense because there was no medicine even the day before, uh, people started to buy their medicines that they needed, we started stocking up,

but no one gave in the green corridors and there was no delivery of medicines after that, more or less brave people from humanitarian aid began to be delivered to mykolaiv and volunteers began to work, but this is improper work . sometimes they were missed. sometimes the stories were different . not all laboratories, not all research could be done according to the extent of people leaving. not all specialists were available. our hospital is, in principle , continued to work on a full-time basis, subordinated to the ukrainian ministry and the national health service, uh, the outside of the city looks like, well, they wound up probably 30 years ago, the shops were gradually closing sold out of their goods and closed for the first time, the queues hurt, the queues even for bread were scared that there would be a hunger strike and we were afraid because no products were allowed into the city, so we stood in queues two or three queues at a time and ran so as not

to lose this queue from the outside it looked like well, how do you know? some kind of game will end soon, and when your time will come, you don’t know, little by little they began to import products from the crimea, from the crimea, cigarettes, alcohol, vegetables , but this trade was not in stores, not in brands, but from the trunks of cars, and they began to import drugs from the crimea at three, two, three times more expensive than, well, in pharmacies before the war, also from crimea, yes, we were russian companies, we were russian, there were days when, uh, they cut off our telephone connection and the internet, it was also scary, i guess it all accumulated and eh it pushed me to leave there. we did not see such a life in kherson in the future, neither i nor my husband, so we made the decision to leave kherson on our

way. there were a lot of posts on our way. checked the men, checked whether there is a they checked the tattoos on our bodies, checked our suitcases , looked into the cars, left. we crossed the davydav ford to kryvyi rih and arrived at the dnipro, which is somewhere from here we will not go until the occupation takes place. italian prime minister mario draghi arrived in ukraine by special train from poland, among other things, for the first time since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, already in kyiv they were joined by romanian president klaus iohannis. by the way, an interesting moment the german bilt newspaper writes that there was not enough space for johannis in the train with macron scholz and the dragster, and he reached kyiv from bucharest separately, and by the way, during the stay of the european

leaders. in the ukrainian capital, almost all regions of ukraine sounded an air alarm because of the missile threat, but not less already from kyiv, all the european leaders together went to irpin, where they saw with their own eyes what kyivshchyna looks like after the russian invaders visited it, we are in irpin, a city that was destroyed. the city is heroic because it was here, among others, that ukrainians stopped the russian army that was going to kyiv with the president of ukraine. i have always been consistent . france has always stood by ukraine from day one. i think the best answer is to restore everything really quickly thanks to this partnership. i mean obviously the funding that we provide and the specific partnership to help you find new solutions especially with the need to be stronger here are the pictures ss destruction caused by war is terrible even worse when you see how senseless it is

the violence that we see here, the targets were innocent civilians, houses were destroyed, an entire city was destroyed, where there were no soldiers, the infrastructure was completely destroyed, and this says a lot about the brutality of the russian war of aggression, and we must keep this in mind when we make decisions, this is a terrible war, it must end thanks to our with the help and also thanks to the sanctions of mr. and the system well, after the trip to irpin-sholz, makron drago and yoganni met with volodymyr zelenskyi, the correspondent of the channel followed the course of the meeting present time yulia zhukova yulia hello how did everything go? hello well, this meeting lasted for about two hours, as you already said that the leaders of the country were greeted by an air-raid siren, and this siren sounded for the second time just when the

leaders were going to the press conference and here was the president ukraine's volodymyr zelenskyi said that in this way russia is trying to intimidate europe, well , the main message with which the leaders of european countries came today is that they support giving ukraine the status of a candidate for eu membership and in principle, president zelenskyi says that this should be a historic decision and he hopes that other countries will support him and ukraine in this, many issues, today they discussed the issue of sanctions, the issue of food security, in particular, the unblocking of ports so that it would be possible to export ukrainian food -e grain well, of course , the issue of defense and the supply of weapons, and the president of france, ol macrone, told me that he sent ukraine a few additional

artillery installations, let's listen we will strengthen such support . 2 billion dollars have already been allocated, and we will strengthen military support, in particular, to the caesar self-propelled guns, which will allow ukrainian soldiers to defend themselves more effectively against the attacks of the russian army on ukrainian soil. from the very first day, france was also took the initiative to send e.e. experts specialized experts to ukraine to investigate war crimes crimes german chancellor olaf scholl said that e.e. germany has already broken all its stereotypes about the fact that they did not supply weapons and promise to provide ukraine with modern anti-aircraft

defense systems. about 3,000 have already arrived, as zelensky said, and the president of ukraine also emphasized that only by uniting europe can influence putin, i am simply not sure that there is currently a possibility that the president of russia the federation is ready to hear something. it seems to me that he is at the stage when he makes a decision and then speaks with someone. it seems to me that it is in this order of decision-making without discussing, but first to act and then to think. it seems to me that in this order to end the war or have a desire , he not just a desire to stop the war is impossible,

that's what i mean, i'm not sure that there are some leaders in the world today who can force russia to stop the war, only collectively, only as a whole, only united, it will be a really strong force that will stop the russian federation. well, probably one more of the main messages that sounded today is that , on the eve of this important meeting of the president, manuel makro kept saying that ukraine should sit down at the negotiating table with russia to agree on peace before, even from the words of president zelensky. he said that ukraine must cede some territories in order to save putin's face, and today the question was raised, where are these red lines in order to get peace in ukraine and macron said that it was

a little misunderstood that it was a phrase taken out of context and they say that peace in ukraine will only be on the terms of ukraine itself and the ukrainians who in principle want it. radio svoboda thank you yulia well, france, germany, italy and romania support granting ukraine the status of an eu candidate, my colleague yulia zhukova just told him about this, referring to the statements of european leaders who are currently in kyiv with the visit, we will discuss this visit further with us in contact oleg chancefor, ambassador of ukraine to france 14-20th year, my congratulations to you, you hear us, mr. shamshur, yes, and i also hear you, what does this

visit mean, how important is it, symbolic and unprecedented precisely because probably never in history have the leaders of three countries of the so-called old europe come to ukraine at the same time. i have already said that i am not a fan of superlatives when we analyze this or that or that or that or that or that event historical non-historical it will probably be clear a little later well, this visit is absolutely long-awaited and because it is especially the first days of the state of france, germany - it can be said that it is a kind of backbone of the european union, two states that exert the greatest influence on the development of events in the

european union, and it is also necessary to take into account that it was these states that were the engine of a kind of urban process, that's why we were looking forward to this visit, and to be honest, it should have happened much earlier, yes. and why then, by the way, i also wanted to ask you if it didn't happen too late and with what does it have to do with saying that it is late? no, it is very important that he is himself. the eu is there before the meeting of the european council, where the question of granting ukraine the status of a candidate for ukraine should be decided. otherwise, one must give credit to the crown, he withstood the intrigue until the last moment, i think that this is to some extent internal political

considerations, but for the most part, it is possible to find an answer to this question by looking at the evolution of all events, i would say politics and its statements and french and german well, how did they change ? to be honest, it is very difficult to draw final conclusions right now, because right now there is a final press conference, a briefing, and the final conclusions are not even final. and those that can be made from public statements can be made only after this the briefing has ended. if you believe the reports , then in my opinion the most important result is the support of the four countries, especially the first three, it is important to grant ukraine the status of

ukraine as a candidate, of course, i would like to hear clear wording and let's see what will be the wording adopted by the european council, but the very fact of this statement is very important because two of these states were clearly in the camp of eurosceptic countries that, in principle, did not want and did not support the provision the status of ukraine as a candidate in ukraine and if this happened, that is, the evolution of this position took place, it is very important, as for me, it is very important that statements were made regarding solidarity with ukraine, because there is no need to hide what is happening in europe now, let's just say that it is not very pleasant for unfortunately, they have a place and it is very important that the leaders of such states express

their unconditional solidarity with ukraine and it is very important that at least macron made a statement about new deliveries of heavy artillery to ukraine, this is what france avoided for some time we all remember that there was a moment when estonia supplied ukraine with more weapons than france. i understand that now the situation is changing, that is, in principle, if we again proceed from the public application that is known at this time, the balance is in principle the visit is positive well, we can now see the video , they also visited the kyiv region, irpin, and what do you think, how much was seen? with their own eyes, they will now change the attitude of macron scholz, er, towards putin , towards russia. will their rhetoric change after that? did

they see this with their own eyes ? they are just hardened politicians who are not affected by anything so special, they have already seen it all. i think that it will have an effect, judging by at least what we see and, er, from the expressions on the faces of these politicians , together with those absolutely overestimate moments, an emotional moment, because politicians are hardened, sometimes a cynical person who, in principle, is used to being guided not by emotions, but how they understand the interests of their state in his understanding and their considerations regarding international politics, including the prospects for further development of the russian-ukrainian war, and yet today, by the way, you followed without knowing it, but i followed in social networks, there were a

lot of jokes about macron, saying that macron came to kyiv and was looking for a service there from where call putin and yet and today macron was denying something, he said that somehow he was misunderstood and so on and there are still some sentiments, but let's take the same macron, because you worked in france, there are certain sentiments towards russia will there be more to somehow try to find an understanding with the kremlin. i would say this way, these are not sentiments; in principle, this has become a feature of french foreign policy; to seek in relations with russia a certain e-e counter-balance by the same united state and a means for securing his special city in the system of international relations, in principle, macron not only follows. he even sent to this component. i think , judging by his latest statements, he realized that

his constant and fruitless communication with putin looks more than dubious and he wants to i hope that this will be put to an end, but i really want to hope, i am not sure that this will really be the end of his er attempts. solve this issue er with some diplomatic means known to him, which in my opinion without prospects and what does this give him, he doesn’t think like that, apparently if he is trying to find some kind of understanding, then you need to understand how the head is arranged, macron’s personality is a person who is just like, by the way, and in his time, a mother who is focused on what he is like what will be his lightness, what

will be his legacy, who wants to see himself as one of the leaders of world international politics and one of the means to ensure these leadership positions - this is a channel for maintaining the channel of communication with russia, whether we like it or not, but it sits deep in macron and i think it will disappear today as well. during this joint meeting of theirs, it was announced that the ukrainian side handed over to the european leaders a complete package of sanctions proposals against russia prepared by this group of macrol yarmak a-a please tell me if you expect any more sanctions from the european union if we talk about the gas embargo or maybe some additional personal sanctions because as far as i know
