including through the istanbul convention, thank you tetiana tetiana pechenchik, chairman of the board of the center for human rights, the change was on our air , we continue the same news together, we are strong, we will support the ukrainian army with money, scan the code good evening, our unbreakable country, i congratulate you, invincible ukrainians, facts of the week, we analyzed the key events of the last days let's try to figure out what will happen next. it was a week of very important decisions and visits. the verdict of the european commission brought us closer to the status of a candidate for eu membership. the visit of four at once

european leaders, three of whom head the most powerful countries of the european union, and immediately after them the arrival of the british prime minister boris johnson that they all suggested to volodymyr zelensky to go to negotiations with putin or to continue fighting until the end, volodymyr runets was at the epicenter of the event , he asked his question macrono and analyzed all the details of what is in scholz's suitcase and what words macron's ear said to zelenskiy, the details of the historic visit, their purpose is actually to show that they are as effective as scholz, macron's dragoons became heroes memes did supporters of saving face try to force ukraine to reconcile with moscow ? facts of the week personally asked macron if these agreements in question are not, er, an exchange of ukrainian territory for peace. how did the statements of european guests change ukraine's prospects for joining the eu? was on

yellow and now he is switching to green and will the status of a candidate for membership of the ues change the situation on the battlefield the facts of the week are explained in detail on the morning of june 16 on the porch of the mariinsky palace volodymyr zelensky, another delegation of high-ranking guests from the west is expected, a quartet of allies from the eu, romania, italy, france and germany, these leaders arrived in the ukrainian capital for the first time since the beginning of the full -scale invasion of russia. there are numerous memes on the network, endless calls to putin and requests not to humiliate russia, the trio of leaders of the largest countries in europe call putin fersteiners dependent on moscow, which means westerners loyal to the kremlin

by politicians, what did they actually bring to kyiv on the floor, who was on the windowsill, and also through the unprecedented, as a result, about two hundred journalists from the world's leading publications and tv channels, the geography is wide, and everyone has the same questions: will they force ukraine to peace as macron wants save putin's face and what scenarios for the development of events in donbas do the leaders of the largest european countries see from ukrainian reporters one question and asked him facts of the week what macron answered us find out a little later, and now about what scholz brought, everyone noticed that the german chancellor barely got out of the representative suv, because he had a huge bag in his hands, it was an orcel or the text of the new peace plan, or that he had long ago bought weapons that the ukrainian military had not yet seen in person,

jokes also flew and about 5,000 helmets, which are not known for certain whether they arrived or not, now the eu admits that in fact russia attacked not only ukraine, but all european countries, that is why they began to help so persistently, and the paradox is that in the fight against the russians, the three whales of the european union germany, italy and france were significantly overtaken by poorer and smaller countries. therefore, this visit to kyiv is an attempt to restore their influence and status. their goal is actually to show that they are effective. this war showed one huge thing. the usa, great britain, and the countries of central and eastern europe showed themselves to be much more progressive. than the so -called old europe with the exception of britain, which, in the person of boris johnson, obviously does not want to lose its leadership position in supporting ukraine against the background of the visit of macron scholz and idraga immediately after their departure, the british prime minister urgently arrived in kyiv with an unannounced visit in a demonstratively open walk through the center and discussed with

zelensky the delivery of heavy weapons to the air defense and new sanctions . or else what is going on in europe meanwhile, the meeting with zelenskyi went on behind closed doors for over an hour, the eu members talked about the status of the candidate for ukraine, the military and humanitarian aid, the blocked ukrainian ports in which they are rotting millions of tons of export grain but while they were talking, the high-ranking guests' alarm sirens once again sounded in the air. kyiv was met with air sirens about the fact that nowhere in ukraine you can feel safe because of russian missiles are hinting. these are the indicators, either the sirens or the conversation with zelenskyi, made the german chancellor aware bundestag to give ukraine iris anti-missile systems germany

broke its state tradition a long time ago we started supplying weapons to ukraine and we will do this in the future as much as ukraine needs, but not in quantity the german chancellor did not announce the terms of the german chancellor. and what about the peace initiatives that drague, scholz, and macron put forward from time to time? facts of the week had a unique opportunity to ask them directly whether these agreements in question are not an exchange of ukrainian territory for peace. the line where there is the border that russia must cross and at which it must stop in ukraine or finally peace has come thank you in return macron assures that he always calls putin only with the consent of zelensky and if previously the french president constantly talked about an immediate ceasefire which actually stopped the opposing forces on the actual lines of demarcation, which means that it became the fixation of another stage of the capture of ukraine. now, macron declares that in this war only ukraine will determine

when to put an end to the battlefield. this is really a paradigm shift, at least in the media context, it is the judge of the conditions on which to sit down the negotiating table should be determined only by ukraine and its representatives, by its president, neither germany nor france. we will never negotiate with russia on behalf of ukraine; moreover, we have never done so to anya in order to some concessions to anya in order to negotiate some concessions but earlier in the international press , the idea of ​​fixing the current front line came up repeatedly, this is the same as saving putin's face due to his conquest of new territories for ukraine - this is an unacceptable option , the chief european columnist of radio svoboda, the year cardiozne macron says his motives are political and historical, this perception of things dominates in many countries of western europe, this is all because of what happened during the first world war and how it behaved afterwards germany, because of this concept of revanchism, at the same

time, it would be unfair to downplay germany's aid to france and italy, the sanctions they imposed on russia are drinking and in their pockets, besides, millions of ukrainian refugees have settled in europe. and this includes social benefits and jobs and the burden on british military analyst justin crane project says that the economy will have to pause the fighting. i am sure that at some point there will be a pause, as it was in 2015, only the demarcation line will be significantly from the point of view of the west, the war has been going on for a little more than 100 days, but in fact it has been going on for more than 3,000 days, in fact, kyiv needs to sit down at the negotiating table only by taking curved positions on the battlefield, recapturing as much of its territory as possible, and also preventing pseudo-referendums on the so-called accession to russia, because it will be the point of no return, as before, the length of the front line depends only on the success of the armed forces, the fire is now in

ukraine, you need to fight and try to push the russians out as far as possible and make them pay the highest possible price for every centimeter of ukrainian land, and here it is again taking up western weapons, because while the russians have a significant numerical advantage. options, of course, putin does not like them, they also consider him a kindred spirit and a criminal, they also want ukraine to be, because for them it is politically important and the west cannot allow it in any way to stop supporting ukraine. in addition, experts are talking about another so -called peace scenario that could lead the europeans to a kind of return to the status quo. when ukraine pushes back the occupiers to the demarcation line on february 24 and then sits down at the negotiating table before

meeting behind closed doors, a lot was really discussed options, but one should not forget about one more important signal everything in kyiv, all four supported granting ukraine the status of candidate for eu membership who hesitated, for example, denmark finally voted in favor, so on june 17, the european commission recommended that the european council officially recognize ukraine as a candidate, it's like a traffic light that was on yellow, and now it switches to green candidate status, it still weighs a lot, you can say it's significant, you can historically but because no less, a really cool story, the final decision will be announced on june 23, but it is already clear that the chances of getting it have increased many times, and this recommendation is a powerful signal to the kremlin, ukraine in this the war is not alone, that is, even the politicians whom putin calls fersteiners cannot now play

only one goal, and the political context forces us to move in the ukrainian fairway. to make certain compromises, on the one hand, everyone would like to equalize their forces on the battlefield more and join the european community sooner, on the other hand, it is necessary to understand that moscow is not a shepherd either behind and tries with all its might to undermine any attempts of ukraine to break out of the kremlin corner , that is why even the visit of four european leaders to kyiv causes hysteria vladimir runets is among putin's enemies. ministers of defense from almost fifty countries of the world in the rammstein format initiated by the americans, the

day before official kyiv announced how much artillery and tanks ukraine needs to knock out russian troops from the occupied territories, but the reality turned out to be somewhat different. what did ukraine get and why are our western allies in no hurry to increase supplies? pavlo vasyl rammstein explained three times, new weapons will help to counterattack, the allies will continue to provide military equipment that ukraine needs. facts of the week compared russian weapons and new supplies for ukraine form a lot of us, that is, all our actions and we found out what we lack, first of all, for us, for the transition to the counteroffensive, it is critical self-propelled howitzers, we will tell you why the west does not give us the necessary number of weapons to defeat russia and why the allies are not counting on a military apolitical defeat of putin, every day ukraine

receives more and more western weapons and this actually means that the ukrainian army is already fighting according to nato standards, the difference between by what we used to meet the enemy and by what we will win. here it is obvious, but if this weapon can be compared with a sledgehammer for heavy work, then it is already a surgical tool of a modern infantryman, modern automatics are much more convenient to use, explains the instructor of the national guard, so it will not be possible to hammer nails, but a soldier trained to use it becomes much more efficient , thanks to the well-thought-out design, all operations can be done many times faster. that is, we no longer need to attach a clip like vk, we just have a mine, we insert a button weapons are ours, well, they form us a lot, that is, all our actions, the instructor also says that western models of small arms save ammunition, because they hit much more accurately in automatic mode when you work in vk you have

they start to misfire the barrel very often, but it misfires when working with the latest rifle , there are no longer actually stocks of kalashnikov assault rifles and cartridges for them, the armed forces of ukraine have more than enough, but the channels of western small arms supply are well established and are used by special forces when it is necessary not to shower the russians with a hail of bullets pressing them to the ground and making just a few well-aimed shots additional weapons promised to us by western partners after rammstein 3 is also evidence that the tsar's defense of ukraine is finally getting rid of the soviet defense heritage, and it is no longer a question of sniper weapons, but of much more powerful models, and this is what the commander of the north atlantic alliance , jens stoltenberg, once again emphasized in brussels, the allies will continue to provide military equipment that ukraine needs, including heavy weapons and systems long-range

, in accordance with this strategy, ukraine will continue to receive western models of weapons among what has already been officially announced the largest part of the united states armed forces of ukraine receive an additional 18 155 mm howitzers and 36,000 shells to them 18 artillery tractors - four repair vehicles additional missiles for the himars system and so that the moscow cruiser is not alone at the bottom of the black sea two anti-ship missile systems harpoons greece promised to provide 30 infantry fighting vehicles, true soviet- style germany, three mers 2 multiple rocket launchers, six caesar installations, new aid from france, canada, poland, the netherlands join to defense with barrel artillery, slovakia strengthens the air component with one rotorcraft, two and four 18 participants of the rammstein format will provide thousands of units of military equipment, mostly optical devices, including night

vision, but what are these weapons capable of on the battlefield and is this enough for ukraine, if not only to defend themselves, but also to push the russians away over the curb on the eve of the meeting in brussels, kyiv daily emphasized the glaring deficit in the president's office, they said that the ratio of russian to of ukrainian artillery in separate areas 10:1 and even named the exact amount of weapons that is needed not for superiority, at least for parity with the russians, we are talking about a thousand howitzers with a caliber of 155 mm, 300 rocket salvo systems, half a thousand tanks, 2011 front-line vehicles and a thousand drones, such volumes as from for political and military reasons, the west will not provide us yet, military analysts state that the main thing is that we will not have enough powerful rocket salvo systems until february 24, the soviet developments of the tornado and the hurricane were the most powerful samples of the rsv, both in ukraine and in the

occupying forces of rapists and marauders, the russians will continue to use them as weapons of terror against civilians, ukrainians, on the contrary, will defend themselves with western missile systems with similar technical characteristics, such as the range or destructive power of the combat unit . american heimers or british m-270, the former minister of defense of ukraine andrii zagorodniuk told about this as a fact of the week in an exclusive interview, but the main question is whether these weapons are enough for us, these are missiles of the so-called rs sources. that is, they are guided missiles. that is, they are definitely weapons and the accuracy is an order of magnitude higher than that of the soviet systems, that is why we need them less, they are more accurate, they are more expensive. we need about 100 units of them alone. and we are now talking about a few who are needed for mercedes for now.

unfortunately, they will remain in short supply, which means that with the available number of armed forces it is difficult to go into an active counteroffensive, but andriy zagorodnyuk is confident with other types of weapons that are no less important for our future victory, ukraine will be able to get everything it asked for. they put the enemies in the black earth, not only the american three seven howitzers m-77 on the front, the italian hh70, the slovak susans 2, the french caesars also joined this company, we have a lot of caliber one 155 mm and therefore, projectiles from three haystacks approach caesar and vice versa, and this is what andriy zahorodnyuk says. accuracy and range are much more than the same russian howitzer of the city. the corresponding ukrainian advantage is not in the caliber of the barrel, and in the fact that they put there, for example, the supplies are the controls, and the supplies are continuous action, that is, they have such small

engines at the end of the stock, well, at the end of the stock, which allows it to continue its flight, and there are self-propelled howitzers that cause our fighters have very positive reviews, in other words , nato standards, do not overwhelm the enemy with tons of iron , fire one connecting shot from a distance that is unattainable for a retaliatory strike, but the problem is again the insufficient amount of artillery that we receive, but andriy zagorodnyuk predicts that in 1-2 months , ukraine's requests regarding barrel artillery will be fulfilled, the process has gained momentum and it is impossible to stop it, as well as in general to the rate of new weapons for ukraine, and the more western models ukraine receives, the closer the finnishization of the armed forces will be in the sense that our army and finnish, even without membership in the alliance , the nato military system will be integrated as much as possible, although this process is not one month, it is necessary to understand that certain types of weapons are high- tech and complex, such as fighter jets

such as e-e air defense systems of the new generation need a much longer period of implementation of their use and preparation for use by the armed forces of ukraine. this is a completely new weapon and please understand that it is even necessary to prescribe new procedures for use, but first we must win and it was clear at the brussels summit it is stated that the help will be but is what we have already received enough for a decisive counteroffensive for us to transition into a counteroffensive critical - these are self-propelled howitzers, these are shock drones and this mls or analogues. actually, when we see a critical mass of this equipment already in service with us, then we can talk about some very large-scale things, but now we observe that the allies provide us with exactly as many weapons as are necessary for defense and not for there are

military and political reasons for this attack, washington and brussels are behaving cautiously because a lightning military turn in our favor could provoke putin to a tactical nuclear strike or direct aggression by the west; secondly, if we we are getting long-range weapons that will destroy logistics and infrastructure on the territory of russia. putin can announce general mobilization, then escalation is also inevitable, and thirdly, there is a purely political moment, the event gives putin a chance, a war of attrition - this is a field for the possibility of a political retreat, when in military terms it is simply not will it make sense to continue to submit? and no, he says that they create a lot of problems, therefore, limiting the supply of weapons is a strategy to exhaust russia , and it is achieved by the fact that the bolt will grind russian resources and soldiers defending and not attacking. until we have a small russian army, it will be more, after all, deterring

the offensive and neutralizing the enemy because of his exhaustion, but there are also purely technical reasons . serhiy gravskyi says our needs do not keep up with the military capabilities of our the allies of the united states of great britain and ukraine taken together are less than the number of tanks in the russian federation alone great britain has this name 227 tanks please tell me where it can get them from if they are not in nature almost allies they carefully monitor the theater of war and adjust the supply according to the situation at the front, in any case there will definitely be enough weapons so that ukraine does not lose, we know from the countries themselves there, from experts who were there connected with these countries, what they convey in principle to the aa as far as we understand, the number of weapons will be much greater than those we heard in statements, but no matter how many

there are, the main thing is not that, because weapons are just a tool, let it be talented and skillfully made, the main thing is how it is used by the armed forces ukrainians pass this difficult exam every day pavlo vasyl ictv facts of the week - the only news some ukrainian units have lost almost half of their military equipment since february 24 and in general, our technical losses are from 30 to 40% this week, the numbers were announced for the first time by a representative of the command of the ground forces of ukraine, however, the losses of russians incredible, only in the last few days ukrainians sank another tugboat with a missile-anti-aircraft complex on board, which brought the invaders and their weapons to the island of the snake to find targets intelligence helps, and internet spies continue to collect facts, information, data about

crimes by russians against ukrainians, exclusive materials that are simply amazing, artem kula received a deportation stamp, i, the occupiers set up filtering camps for ukrainians, women are raped on schedule, for example, men beat on schedule, facts of the week received exclusive data this is where ukrainians are received, filtering points , filtering camps, and filtering prisons, such an informal classification has now been developed to indicate the places through which thousands pass ukrainians in the temporarily occupied territories , how many are there and what is

happening there? but as i understood , many in all cities in donetsk, in starobeshevo, there in azov, i'm sure, dofyga, they were brought to the new azov, where they kept one until the tour, after which they moved the old besheve there. we spent another four days like that, sleeping on chairs in the actual hall, hundreds of people were waiting for the so-called filtration, a toilet, a toilet, a peasant cabin for 600 people, two cabins, well, every day , 300 people came in, 300 people left, about 55, 4 buses arrived, and there was no road the purpose of the filtering is to find enemies of the regime, the occupiers themselves explained this in one of the russian videos,

two krambalist battalions, which after the start of the special operation, ran away, the citizen surrendered his phone, he was voluntarily in order to a police officer who, uh, in his presence, reads correspondence, looks in what groups is a citizen sitting there, polls were conducted in district police departments, artem, realizing what could be waiting for him, uploaded all the data to the internet in advance and deleted them from the phone, the ladies found their acquaintances and who loves who - either he is fighting and i have acquaintances, he said, i say no, no, no, i don’t know anyone, i don’t know anyone, they took fingerprints from all the fingers, they took pictures of him from an angle and everything was basically i just waited for me to come here, the documents were printed, that’s how it looks like a so-called document of filtration artem and his mother left for russia and then to

finland, where they are now, but as they were lucky, not all the places where the guy ended up are conventionally called filtration points, here is one of them that was arranged right in the mariupol hypermarket here are the people who come here and the reduction of their participation in the armed formation of ukraine. similar filtering points were recorded in nikolsk nameless mangosh and dokuchaevsk until recently. imagination of the donetsk region but besides them there are also so -called filtration camps or, so to speak , colonies. it has been there for almost two months, and today it will be there with a penny, they even seem

to have passed the filtration, but they don’t release from there, sometimes they involve villages to work on what kind of improvement of the territory, and the villages are kept, well, in such under the conditions, this video was shot in the nameless camp , people sleep on the floor in school classrooms, in the cold season, almost everyone was seriously ill, this is the kind of food they give in the best case, but in such huts, the orphans are almost on the floor, the sanitation is one wash basin for the entire crowd, the toilet is generally located on the street, which it is impossible to enter речь глаза yesterday a person with tuberculosis was taken here when this record spread on the internet its author was sentenced to 10 years by the so-called people of dnieper when the person did not pass the filtering of the reasons there may be many

there at the protests, let's say, does he have connections or did he have friends, acquaintances, even a joint photo somewhere ? did he somehow convince himself that he was with a former military man and a current military man, and all this could be a reason for you to be detained and that's where they are kept in these colonies and so on, they can torture in these camps, they can try it conditionally, where are those who do not pass this filtering, according to the advice of the mayor of mariupol, petro andryushchenko, they are sent to the so-called filtering prisons, about two such well-known ones, for sure, this is volnovaska colony not far from the deer park inakiyiv strict regime colony where volunteers, activists, law enforcement officers and ex -military men are now being held, a conversation with a person who came out of there, it's been almost a day, and it's like hysterics, hysterics there, well, it's

scary and terrible things happen there, it's real, women are raped there, for example men beat on schedule, they constantly take away ours, then people just break it, recently the russians opened other bosoms, which will probably become torture centers for ukrainians, yes subscribers occupation mobile phone operator in the donetsk region received a letter from the so-called ministry of justice of the dpr inviting them to work in the volnovask yenakiivsk tamakiiv correctional colony and also in the donetsk pre-trial detention center in the kherson region, researchers recorded on the international internet that the occupiers transferred all the prisoners from the dariivsk colony to of kherson and holopristan, before inviting their personal affairs. to identify those who can cooperate with the russians, according to the latest data, russia has created about 20 filtering camps and prisons, that is, absolutely everywhere he goes
