well, they pass and sing the song the fire is waiting for us deadly streamer deadly already waited for these fighters, but in russia, unfortunately, the war is far away and this well, although it is possible that they will cut the budget and everything will be cut for the sake of the war, maybe at least everything will somehow cloud the heads of the russians, although for this there is little hope for our army for you and us the people of ukraine for our partners we will win together and nothing will break us despite everything i thank you for being with us during this time tomorrow i will meet with you at 12:10 in the column vasyl's worldview in the winter, be with us, it will be very interesting. take care, be aware of the air alert, and now for your attention, a news release from my colleagues from the ukrainian editorial office of bbc news , let's watch together the retreat from lozychanska, the marshal's plan for the reconstruction of ukraine - this is the 131st day of russia's war against ukraine events we tell the bbc news broadcast live and from london

russian military entrenched in lysychansk and advance on sloviansk lugano conference for the reconstruction of ukraine in switzerland discuss how much money will be needed to rebuild the country after the war, a creeping war of attrition with heavy losses, this is how american generals describe the actions of the russians, who, according to him, are not achieving most of their strategic objectives, but let's start with a short urgent news from the united states somewhere today they celebrate independence day during a parade before independence day, there was a shooting in chicago. the authorities report that

five people died, five people were shot and 16 people are in the hospital, that is, five people died 16 of people in the hospital - these are the data of the local authorities and eyewitnesses report that there were a number of shots, these are all the details that are now known. who fired and what happened is still unknown. in this case, we will talk about the situation in donbas . the evening meeting of the general staff of the armed forces of ukraine, belohorivka, one of the last villages of the luhansk region under the control of ukrainian forces, was informed that the russian military was shelling the kramatorsk, bakhamtskyi, slavic directions after the russian military captured lysychansk and so practically in this luhansk region , they can try to capture donetsk region. this is what the ukrainian authorities, western intelligence experts are saying, we will talk about this in more detail

later in the release. according to him, 300,000 people left luhansk oblast because of the war, 90% of the infrastructure as well as 60% of residential buildings, this is just one of the dimensions of the russian invasion. gaidai says this the battle for lysychansk was lost , but the war was not lost, and our military could hold the city for a long time, but russia currently has a huge advantage in artillery and ammunition, and they would simply shoot at the city from a distance around the clock until they destroyed everyone and it just made sense to either get surrounded and sit there while the city was being shelled, but we still need to impress the enemy, and a decision was made not to lead them to the encirclement, so that they would not make any breakthroughs with large a-a forces and leave

centrally already fortified positions to occupy them and continue to er-e lead a combat impression of the russian army that's why everyone left centrally without losses everything is normal it's difficult er-e of course er-e and it hurts but well, it's not a lost war - it's a lost er-e battle separate, but not a war, we need to preserve our troops now, so that when a sufficient number of weapons arrives, so that we can normally start hostilities and go into a counteroffensive, this long-range artillery, which can extinguish the russian one, because it is so far, is not enough take some separately guns or a rezo system, but they are not enough, we still need more, because you know, if we compare it with football, if we buy one

great player, we will not win the match. we need even more. in order for us to have already made a total impression, the head of the luhansk region, serhii gaidai , and the general staff of the armed forces the forces of ukraine reported the day before that the ukrainian military, after heavy fighting for lysychansk, were forced to retreat from their positions, while the russian military, he cites, had a multiple advantage in the artillery of jet aircraft systems of salvo fire, ammunition and personnel, the continuation of the city's defense would lead to fatal consequences, retreat in order to save the lives of ukrainian fighters, how the retreat from lysychansk took place, we will tell about it later, so the russian military celebrates the capture of lysychansk, another city that is now in complete ruins, for weeks russia is advancing on the eastern donbas attacking ukrainian positions slowly but deadly

vladimir putin calls the war of liberation ukraine, but instead of destruction, the armed forces defended the city with all its might and now they say they need more weapons because russia's firepower prevails and on the 130th day of the war, ukraine had to admit that it lost lysychansk, which means the entire luhansk region, half of donbas. from the city, no less, the role of gray and the fact that we protect the lives of our soldiers, our people, the walls, we will rebuild the land from war, and people must be protected above all else in kyiv we meet with soldiers

they just returned from the donbass quotes male volunteers went to fight as soon as putin invaded their land russians like the tactic of destroying all cities and villages completely soldiers say the battles in the east are fiercer than those on the outskirts of kyiv then in the spring ukrainian troops forced the russians to retreat but despite this these men are ready to fight just as hard we want to protect our families friends wives from the horrors and the russians did to people in irpen buchi gostomel mariupol we can not let this happen again neither you decided to return to donbas, we have no choice. we have already begun to feel the consequences of this deadly war, and inside russia, in moscow, they say these explosions are the result of the destruction of ukrainian missiles, four people died, and such deaths of the civilian

population are one of the proofs that vladimir putin is not everything it is going according to plan normally, at the same time in the kremlin they are talking about the victory and the continuation of the so-called special operation, as the russian authorities call the invasion of ukraine, that is what the minister of defense of russia reported to putin on the television recording about the seizure of luhansk region, which he called the liberation of the so-called lpr, that putin said it was a victory and said he hoped that in other directions it would all happen in the same way as in luhansk, in fact , putin's statements today included vague statements about russia's future plans. putin said other russian military formations, in particular the eastern group and west they must fulfill their tasks according to pre-approved plans and follow a single plan, now russia will almost certainly proceed

to capture a significant part of the donetsk region which remains under the control of ukrainian forces, the british ministry of defense believes that the battle for donbass is exhausting and will remain so in the coming weeks. british government officials are talking about it. western analysts also predict that russia will try to seize donetsk region at the weekend. kramatorsk and slovyansk of donetsk region, if the russians take over the entire donbas, what will it mean for the region, the head was asked about it on the bbc broadcast strategic risk assessment company justin crump, we believe that the russians will be able to perceive as an achievement that can be sold to their audience and putin personally as a victory - this is the capture of the rest of the donetsk luhansk regions, but this is much more than what they managed. if you want, russia started this war by trying to capture large parts of ukraine, but in the future the ambitions became smaller and smaller, i think

it will be much more difficult for them with the cities located further to the west of slavic kramatorsk, which has been defended for a long time, and i also think it is important to know that the ukrainians are leaving lysychansk, but they left severodonetsk in good condition, they did not run away from persecution, they were not defeated by the russian military. unfortunately, they retreated, but this is something that is quite difficult to do in war, and they did it well, from what we can see, and they are leaving in good condition, so this shows that russian pressure does not lead to the collapse of the ukrainian front, which indicates at least another month of protracted struggle where russia will continue to lose opportunities at that time ukraine is building up its forces like us have seen this in the last few weeks in my opinion donbas is very important for russia she will continue to put pressure and advance but the losses that russia will need for this will be painful for her they are increasingly using old equipment soldiers in their age they have to find volunteers from strange places their attack look as amateurs, they cannot rally

the troops. ukraine, on the other hand, is losing territory because the russian troops are significantly superior in the number of manpower and artillery in particular, but they behave sensibly in that how they give age, so i think that with the continuation of western support and in view of the fact that russia is now trying to obtain its military power, they do not miss that at a certain point russia will reach a point after which it will not be able to advance further, but the big question is, however, where exactly will this point come or will they succeed to achieve what they want in donbas before the ukrainians push them back and all this depends on western support, that is why i emphasize it and that is why the nato summit was so important in direct communication, bbc correspondent oleg chernysh olezhe congratulations, after the ukrainian military withdrew from north donetsk, lysychansk actually

turned into the last outpost of luhansk region, in theory it had better conditions for defense, it is located at a height protected by the river but why were the ukrainian military forced to retreat from there, what are the key reasons well, in fact, there are several reasons, but the main one is that the russians changed their tactics , if in severodonetsk, this city is actually adjacent to lysichansk, they simply disappeared from the face of the earth they actively treated it with artillery and stormed the quarter, i remember that they actually bypassed lysychansk, they bypassed it from the south-west and from the north, that is, there was no storming of the city as such , but unfortunately, the russians managed to break through in the south in the area of ​​the golden and mountain - these are two villages that were occupied by the armed forces of ukraine for a long time, but at the end of june, due to certain circumstances, they were forced to withdraw from these positions, and in fact the southern flank near

lysychansk was exposed. well, what about the russians from the north? the day before, it was possible to falsify siverskyi donetsk and capture the village of zolatinarivka, so the threat of desertion became very real. and actually there was no other way to get the ukrainian military out of this city , as we saw from the general staff meeting, the ukrainian military, that is, and this means that the russians are all well, they don't control all the regions, as they say about it, well, it's quite difficult to talk about it , first of all, there is a fairly well-known thesis that these reports of the general staff do not show the situation, er, that is, minutes to minutes, there is a certain delay, but that what is the village of belgorlivka like me, it is actually located on the border of luhansk and donetsk regions, there are battles , or rather, they were going on yesterday and this morning - this is a fact, that is, we cannot say exactly who is under this village now,

but even if it still remains under ukraine, it is there 0:01% of the territory of luhansk region, which, unfortunately, does not change the weather , the alignment of the front line can play a positive role for the armed forces of ukraine. indeed from the very beginning of a full-scale invasion, this e-e projection e-e lysichanskyi severodonetsk, it was a sufficiently dangerous territory and it was obvious that the russians would be targeting it, now it is gone, the front line has leveled out and it is really easier for the ukrainian armed forces to allocate forces for defense e-e slavic kramatorsk is easier to choose free tactics for the defense of these territories. well, we can say that these territories have also been sufficiently fortified since the 14th year. there are certain

geographical advantages there, such as mount karyachun near slovyansk, which once again give a certain form to the ukrainian military, but let's see here, everything will depend very much on western weapons and artillery, which, unfortunately, is not enough in the armed forces of ukraine. events on the eastern front as far as possible that the russians will advance with the same large shelling on slavyansk on kramatorsk on bakhmut is quite a strange situation because putin announced tonight that he is giving a fight to these troops that occupied luhansk region, but as far as i know, as far as the military experts indicate, on the contrary, there is no behavior, there is no operational pause, and the russian troops, having captured luhansk region, are now rapidly advancing on donetsk region, in

slavic, matoivsk bakhmut, but let's see... in fact, an operational pause is also necessary for the armed forces of ukraine, which are sufficiently exhausted. well, and probably for the russians, who also suffered heavy losses, storming large industrial cities such as donetsk lysychansk. how exactly will the ukrainian military prepare for the defense of these new frontiers? well, it should be said that preparations for the defense of, for example, the same bakhmut are being conducted not yesterday and not the day before yesterday. and for a long time it has been a sufficiently fortified city. but again, a lot will depend on the technology because what is wrong with this tactic of the russians, which they have now, it is a wall of fire, that is, a wall for telerian shelling, which actually destroys everything in its path. well, it is hard enough for you to oppose something now, ukrainians, as we can see they are trying to counter it with point destruction of

ammunition depots well, let's see if this slows down the russian offensive or not. thank you, it was my colleague oleg chernysh about how the front is changing after the russian military captured the city of lysychansk in the luhansk region. western partners provide ukraine with enough military aid. however, not all types of this aid can be called publicly, american general mark milley said this in an interview with the bbc. he is the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff of the united states, which already constantly holds contacts with the commander-in-chief of the armed forces of ukraine, valery zaluzhny, and this is how mili assesses the situation on the ukrainian front. everything is necessary to protect itself, so that ukraine remains a free and independent state with

territorial integrity. we help ukraine in this, we see no reason for this war can go beyond the borders of ukraine and we are trying to prevent this from happening ukraine does not want it does not ask that american, british, german, french soldiers whose troops of any other country fight for it ukraine has the will, ability and people to wage this battle what it needs are the means weapons , artillery, tanks, armored personnel carriers, ammunition , ammunition, this is what the ukrainians are asking for, who do not ask to join the battle for them, and this is what we are trying to do for them, the russians are not achieving most of their strategic tasks tactically what is happening now is a creeping war of attrition only on a small territory of ukraine in donbas fierce battles are taking place in luhansk and donetsk regions where the russians are advancing very slowly a

kilometer per day 1,000 m here 1,000 m there ukrainians are fighting very effectively using air defense they are conducting many small-scale counterattacks this a war of attrition with heavy losses on the part of the russians so i can't characterize it as productive for the russians either from the point of view of tactics nothing important from the point of view of the strategy of the russians have suffered heavy losses of military personnel and equipment and they will have to make significant efforts to ensure a significant replenishment of the force of equipment in order to continue the offensive finally on the territory of ukraine, including the capital. a gesture of goodwill, we are regularly in touch with the commander-in-chief of the armed forces of ukraine, general valeriy zaluzhnyi, but the subject of these conversations and negotiations is not for publicity and for the restoration of ukraine after

the russian invasion, 70 billion dollars are needed, the ukrainian authorities announced this at a conference in switzerland, where the country's reconstruction plan was presented , prime minister denys myhal said that the direct damage to ukrainian infrastructure from russian aggression is more than 100 billion dollars, an additional conference in lugano gathered world leaders and non-governmental organizations to draw up a road map for the recovery of ukraine, such is the marshal's plan, this is what they say about this program by analogy with the program restoration of europe after the second world war, which was proposed by us secretary of state george marshall , president zelensky addressed the participants of the conference in lugano and let's listen to what he said. this war is not just ours, it is not just local somewhere in the east of europe . therefore, the reconstruction of ukraine is not a

local project, not a project of one people, but a joint task of the entire democratic world, of all countries, certainly of all countries that can say that we are civilized. the european union has already promised to create a platform for coordinating actions to restore ukraine after the war, the head of the european commission, ursola von derlian, said this, and according to her, we are the kremlin's military, political and economic destruction of ukraine, russia wants to take the very existence of ukraine as a state, and this cannot be allowed, so said the head of the european commission, one from the participants of the conference in lugano, the president of the american trade apparatus in ukraine , endiunder, called the current level of political support for ukraine unprecedented, what is needed for the so-called marshall plan for ukraine to work, he said in a conversation with my colleague natalka skolenko, the conference was planned as a step forward in reforms in ukraine, the war changed everything, now it is the

creation of an international platform for post-war reconstruction in ukraine, which involves dozens of countries and organizations, as you know, what do you think the platform will look like and who is on it besides ukraine will be the leader or coordinator of the conference so that it would be post-reform, now it is about restoration and the most important thing is that five main sources of funding have been determined, how will it be, what money will be used to restore ukraine, the first - it will be reparations - these are russian assets. in what other countries will the legislation change so that these russian assets can be sold and put up for sale? this money would go to ukraine. second, these are grants from governments . third, these are bank loans. fourth, this is the ukrainian state budget and fifth. what we are currently working on the most is private investments, the private sector of investments that they will make

in the restoration of ukraine after the victory, ukraine declares that it needs not just restoration, but the creation of a new basis for a safe, modern life, what priorities are we talking about here in general, priorities - this is the main thing to start already, what has been destroyed and what is key is needed for example for the same infrastructure and bridges a that carry and uh railway and other a-ah just roads and the main thing is this what needs to be done now, it is necessary to start rebuilding to rebuild, of course, huge innovations are needed, new technologies, what scales can we talk about now, what reforms, the first is the rule of law, uh, i think that everyone is here, and for any investor, the number one thing is the rule of law, that is the independence of the courts, the protection of property, and i think

that this was clearly heard, and i think that now all issues regarding the rule of law, ukraine will quickly and purposefully accept, and what are the dimensions of capital investments of foreign investments in ukraine ? billion, and everything is even in zeros. i think that these are the sums that are being discussed. all the messages that will be clearly delivered today are that we are all united here. that is, you are now . all of europe, the whole world will help, united, and rebuilding ukraine after victory and that's exactly what we're up to this is where we are headed. and here the role of the private sector will be big, it will be investments, and this is not only reconstruction, but the modernization of the new independent ukraine, and finally, in london today they are talking about the crimes of the russian war in

ukraine with us in direct communication ukrainian human rights activist and lawyer oleksandra matviychuk, head of the board of the center for civil liberties, oleksandra matviychuk , oleksandra thank you for joining us, what an event where war crimes were discussed. the event that took place in the premises of the british parliament was organized by an international organization that studies various wars and with the participation of parliamentarians of the british parliament and it was an event that aimed to talk about the real picture of the war and the loss of the civilian population. how can they be measured and as well as political decisions based on these losses should be made by the parliament of great britain. what questions did the british

parliamentarians ask about? the first question they were interested in was the reason why russian troops commit such a large number of war crimes with such brutality; - thirdly, they were actually very worried that in this war, when everyone was going through these brutal trials , ukraine did not really lose its height in this and did not turn into a mirror, and i explained that we are fighting for freedom and in no case do we have with the aim of defeating russia by turning into russia itself and we do not use their methods. britain also helps to investigate war crimes committed in ukraine during the war by the russian military. what kind of help does britain have in

this? this is precisely one of the issues to which considerable attention has been paid, here we are. discussed whether it is expedient to strengthen the work of the international criminal court or whether it is necessary to strengthen the work of the national legal system, in what forms it should be done, and the actual idea that i presented at this meeting, it is the need to create an international hybrid tribunal for international crimes such as war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide, i explained that only our initiative of the tribunal for putin documented more than 11,000 e-e episodes and this is a huge number that even the most effective cannot cope with the general prosecutor's office of the world, we really need permanent international involvement and the model of an international hybrid tribunal would be a good solution, and we spoke today in our program about the lugana conference, a conference at which they

help to develop a plan for the structure of ukraine after the war, and your organization is one of those who signed the manifesto to the participants of this conference about the red lines regarding the future of ukraine, can you tell us a little about it? so this is the manifesto that i was actually supposed to be today in the morning in lugano to announce it at the opening, but unfortunately the manifesto signed by more than 150 non- governmental organizations did not happen, it is our ambition to declare that we are equal partners alongside the state the international community in order to rebuild and develop the country, we do not transfer this responsibility, we are ready to bear it. and secondly, what is very important

. of our integrity as a country that i don't care if we don't leave people in the occupied territories and that this issue is not even discussed when talking about the occupied territories, human rights defenders now have an understanding of what is happening in the occupied territories territories in the south of the kherson region, because what we have seen is evidence of people being tortured, people being abducted, there is evidence of murders of civilians, intentional murders, so how do human rights defenders manage to get information about what is happening there in the occupied territories, we receive information, but we only see the tip of the iceberg, although it is clearly being monitored the trend of the russian federation in the occupied territories is directed persecution, i would say the destruction of the active part of civil society, or we will get every day requests for help from relatives who

have been kidnapped, who have been arrested, who have been subjected to brutal treatment, torture, and so on and so on in our database. now, in total, there are more than 500 such individual cases, it is not only kherson region, it is from the situation and will in various occupied territories, which were under occupation then they were liberated, for example, the kyiv region, and this shows such a pater of the russian army, which is prohibited by the fourth geneva convention, how to exterminate, to overcome attempts, we must end our issue of repro on this, we must say goodbye until tomorrow
