training is important when you are at war with russia , you need to be the best with the best. in kherson, the russian occupiers have equipped a warehouse of artillery ammunition. this is reported by the main intelligence directorate of the ministry of defense of ukraine, according to intelligence information, the invaders are also preparing to hold a so-called referendum for this purpose in enthusiastic enthusiastic in kherson they are waiting for the arrival of a group of political technologists from russia, the intelligence informs us in touch serhii khlan - deputy of the

kherson regional council, i congratulate you good evening, we are from ukraine, kherson region is ukraine good evening what are they really preparing for the so-called referendum because today i already read the news that the representatives of the occupation authorities in zaporozhye also announced that they were preparing for a referendum in the first decade of september, but there was indeed information that they had even set up a headquarters there and were waiting political technologists from the crimea or from russia there. and by the way , there is such a newspaper naddnipryanska pravda, they wanted to publish it there prydniprovska pravda and already there they almost arranged everything, let’s say technically, for the publication of this propaganda newspaper in order to prepare the people for the referendum eh, that is,

you know the propaganda machine, eh, and the vtv channel, this is the local kherson tv channel, which was at the beginning of the occupation, immediately captured by the occupiers, and which began to carry out such a russian propaganda policy from the first day, that is, they they counted on the fact that the newspaper, e.e., telegram channels, the television channel, and this dissemination of information, they rebroadcast three and the russian news, they thought that they would have a psychological effect on the people in order that by september 11, not when they announce the referendum, they thought that they would be able to prepare people exactly this kind of zombification, but the events that have been taking place recently , uh, slightly upset the plans of the occupier, and today there is no such reliable information that the occupiers

there continue to systematically prepare because today panic is raging in kherson panic is raging and by the way, there are two governments of the occupiers, i will explain why there are two governments, because in fact a government of collaborators was created in kherson oblast. first, this is the balance , which is now in a hospital there in a very serious condition. bulyuk streimaus in semichev, that is, the government of the collaborators, they called themselves the government of liberation from the first day, which ruled the kherson region from the occupiers. well, two weeks later, the government of the occupiers was created. who came from moscow. and by the way, he introduced there the head of the government of the fsb from the kaliningrad region, the deputy of the same fsb from the

kaliningrad region, and the minister of education. well, they presented all the ministers there, the minister of education and science from the moscow region, and he was previously responsible for russification schools in sevastopol and by the way, he was put here to do the same thing and the only one who was there from the collaborators was kovalev because, well, kovalev is a little bit not from the company that speaks on the air already yes and you are the same collaborator now here all these two governments, they are eva kuyu because they have recently settled there, occupied all the offices and introduced such violent activity. yes, there is looting in the kherson region, but they are no longer there for the last two days, they have settled somewhere in other

cities, by the way, there is a report that the government fsbshniks are generally hiding now, well, they split up in hospitals in order to use their stay as a human shield of sick people who are in hospitals, well, collaborators hid. the hospital, very different news about him have been coming in the last few days. some say that he is in the hospital, others say that he is no longer alive. literally before the broadcast, i saw a message from people's deputy oleksiy honcharenko. of course, he reported this with his characteristic sarcasm . according to his data, he is no longer alive, do you know anything about this, the information i had that herring got to the hospital, he was sick, he was always sick, he was treated before this in israel at the leading

clinics, uh, but when he got to him, he became zelena work he got to the hospital, now he is in a very serious condition, but he is still alive, as far as i know, they are deciding what to do now, or whether he should be treated in moscow or somewhere in simferopol, or they will take care of his resuscitation in the kherson region it is still unknown for sure, but his situation is extremely difficult. and one more question, just now there was news that the armed forces of ukraine occupied 44 points of the population of the kherson region. this was reported by the acting head of the regional of the military administration dmytro butryi i can't understand what these 44 population points are, as if there are no such incendiary battles around the kherson region . is this the territory that was not occupied, can you

explain, well, that is the territory there, in the last two weeks, three population centers were liberated and in general, then the settlements that were freed , and these are settlements taking into account the so-called gray zone, i.e. although it can be said frankly that sometimes there is a settlement for people, it no longer has all of them, just what is there. so that's absolutely everything populated areas that are not actually under the control of the russians, thank you very much for your comment serhii khlan, a deputy of the kherson regional council, was in touch with us . well, let's go back to the event in vinnytsia, i will remind you that this morning russia attacked vinnytsia with rockets in the center of the city, there were several explosions as of now 22 people died and fifty are in serious condition. we have the last video from vinnytsia

today at approximately 10:45 a.m. the rocket hit the square. the most people are here during the day . this is the building of the first floor wing it was a diagnostic center that provided medical services to people, such as diagnostics, therapy, surgery . five minutes ago on the 26th

, let me remind you. it was vinnytsia. we are following the events in the city. well, canadian prime minister justin trudeau commented on the transfer of the turbine for the russian nord stream 1 pipeline. he says that it was a difficult decision, i remind you that on july 10, the media reported that canada agreed to hand over a repaired siemens turbine to germany. it is needed in order to restore the full operation of the russian

gas pipeline, the nord stream, the first in ukraine, they said that canada succumbed to pressure from russia, the turbine built by the german company siemens energy canada canada was repaired at the company's plants in montreal, but its return to russia was complicated by the sanctions that canada imposed after the full-scale russian invasion of ukraine , these sanctions prohibit the export of certain technology goods to russia, including the turbine in fact, by returning the turbine, canada made an exception for russia, german high-ranking officials called on canada to find a way to return the turbine, since germany allegedly feared that russia would use the issue as an excuse to shut down the nord stream pipeline and thus impede germany's ability to fill its gas storage tanks before winter canadian prime minister justin trudeau said that the return of the turbine needed for the nord stream gas pipeline - this quote is a very

difficult decision we have seen russia consistently try to use energy as a weapon as a way to create divisions among allies to undermine common support for this important effort in it is a decision for ukraine to support germany and europe in the real challenges they face in the field of energy in order to get rid of dependence on russian oil and gas. this is important so that not only governments throughout europe and the whole world but also the population of our countries continue to support their governments which provide billions of dollars of military financial and humanitarian support to the ukrainian people while they are waging this terrible struggle against tyranny and oppression, contact us olga bilkova, director of cooperation with the state bodies and international organizations operator of the ukrainian gts good evening good evening well actually , what would have happened if canada had not returned this turbine, well

, our president and our foreign minister clearly expressed their position, and in our opinion, this was the only correct decision, because canada as very friendly and er such a special country for er support of ukraine, she formulated her primary decision quite correctly in our opinion. everyone is not just surprised. we are shocked and this once again indicates that very effective sanctions are needed . they will be really tough and painful not only for russia, but also in a certain way for our partners. accordingly, by adopting this decision on sanctions, in our opinion, we would expect the stability of the canadian government and the understanding of the german that they have other options for the delivery of e-e gas transportation

from russia to germany . it is quite clear why everyone ignores the fact that the ukrainian gts operator keeps repeating that we have sufficient capacity and whether we have a turbine or not, but we can transport all the gas that is contracted to germany from russia, well, actually there are such fears that if, for example, they now make an exception for this turbine, where is the guarantee that another country will not make an exception for something else, then a third country, then a fourth country, and then what is the point of sanctions if there are exceptions everywhere, i can only agree with you precisely on the president and the foreign ministry paid attention to this circumstance,

because we believe that resistance to sanctions, well, it is this determination to keep them to the end that can stop the war in ukraine, and not the constant search for some additional conditions for the aggressor, which is absolutely nothing he does not plan to stop if he sees that we are all making concessions, this cannot be done and it is precisely this line of advocacy that we are now continuing with our partners, yesterday it was filed in court on behalf of an organization that represents er canadian er let's say this union of e-e diaspora the world congress of ukrainians was there and appealed to the court. the ukrainians also appealed to the court and we are very grateful to them for the fact that they, er, are conducting this line of conversation.

by the canadian government, it was such that it can be revoked, including we really hope that our partners in canada, the united states, and germany are closely following what is happening in ukraine today, and the tragedy in vinnytsia is another hint that we need to get together partners and consolidate efforts, how to put pressure on russia and not on canada so that it hands over these turbines olya, please tell me when you are from the ukrainian side and you come to the canadian government and say you need the nord stream alone because you are worried well there, germany is worried that it will not have gas. well, we provide the ukrainian gts, give up the russian gas guzzler, use ukrainian, what do they answer to you? well, the fact is that the line of negotiation is with the canadian government.

i repeat that our embassy is very friendly to ukraine, led by mrs. kovaliv. she is currently dealing with this issue, as well as the ministry of foreign affairs and politicians . as a company, we provide all the necessary materials to our counterparties in germany. in their analyses, german politicians prefer to follow the easiest path. i am very sorry because we have already seen how the simple decisions of building nord stream-2 brought the war in ukraine closer and accordingly today we continue on numbers and facts to show that despite the fact that today russia actually pays for only one point, it has already been paid for 77 million cubic meters of gas daily, but

they transport only 40. 30 million, why we ca n't understand and our partners don't ask these questions, and it's a pity, but really, why, there can be several scenarios here, there is a strong russian lobby, there is some distrust of ukraine, they say, war is war we will help but here gas issues, we prefer not to deal with you, or for some other reason, really. and why is that ? well, i don’t know for sure why that is. but i can assure you that the ukrainian operator of the gas transmission system and in general , uh, well, the entire system of the uh, gas market in ukraine, in recent years, we have proved to our partners that we are a reliable partner, that we have absolutely no doubts about our obligations, and never once has the ukrainian state transport authority stopped transportation, despite the fact that we also make repairs, we also need

change some parts of the compressor station to update and so on, but our western partner has never personally felt this situation. well, in contrast to the constant pressure from russia, they sometimes demand contracts in rubles, then they stop the supply to bulgaria, e.e., to the baltic countries or to poland, they stopped yamal and for some reason instead moreover, again, so that political uh, well, such calls are not made to ukraine, video of canada, they, well, now they use all their political potential, uh, our colleagues from germany in order to persuade ukraine to remain silent . regarding this situation, this is not quite right, and we we believe that the consistent position of the ukrainian government should lead to the fact that we continue to prove that the ukrainian route is profitable , correct and safely profitable for the whole of

europe and not only for us, especially when canada decided to transfer these turbines to russia and justin told the trickster that despite this , firstly he said this is a difficult decision for the canadian government and secondly, canada will support ukraine in every way, that is, germany put pressure on canada, i understood correctly that canada should give these turbines of russia well, i don't know the facts uh, i don't know the specific pressure, but it really looks like this, i uh, well, i can understand that this is uh, in a certain way, a difficult decision for the canadian government, but believe me , it is much less of an easy decision, especially if you look at it from the point of view view of justice compared to the decisions that the ukrainian government and the ukrainian president have to make today, if you look at today's drama in vinnytsia, there are very difficult decisions to explain to the families of innocent victims in what way

today, including the geopolitics of gas, and that's why i'm very sorry. and as you know, as a former politician, everything inside me boils over the fact that so far the facts cannot be proven to our colleagues who do not understand that there is no guarantee even if they will give this tour will not give this turbine, but there is no guarantee that russia will not find another reason to stop the gas supply at the most difficult moment possible for europe and for ukraine, respectively, the sooner we all end our efforts to put pressure on russia, the better off europe will be and it's safer for ukraine well, i'll just remind for the context and our viewers that russia really started threatening that they would simply cut off the gas without this turbine and actually made an exception and sanctions and there are no guarantees now that

such exceptions will not take place in the future also recall the fact that the appearance of the northern stream alone , we have always insisted as a country that the northern stream alone is not needed, it is needed only for one purpose: to take revenge on ukraine, to bypass ukraine and make it unimportant, and we can already see what this is for today there was a war in ukraine, and german politicians and some other politicians in europe continue to talk about how wonderful these projects are, and this is a very, very bad thing. thank you very much . llc, the operator of the gts of ukraine, will need 25 and a half billion euros to restore the environment after the invasion of russia. the minister of environmental protection

and natural resources of ukraine, ruslan strilets, said this the day before. are investors ready to invest in european projects in to ukraine before the end of the war and what is the total amount of damage to the environment due to the war, the minister said in an interview with radio svoboda, today we are calculating all the damage that racists have caused to our environment, the total amount of damage has already exceeded 202 billion hryvnias, and this is absolutely not all the cases that we have yet to take into account using our new methods today, as the ministry of the environment, we are ready to lend a hand and help any investor who is ready to invest already on well, start preparing documents today project documentation to receive relevant permits in order to be able to start implementing specific construction projects after the end of the war, or if the active phase of the war subsides a little,

in general, many say that missile strikes , in particular, and such long-range ones, will continue until the end of the war regardless of whether it is a hot or not a hot phase and, accordingly, any point in ukraine is under threat or is it well, problems for investors eh it is difficult for me to say whether this is a problem for them in this case the only thing i can say is that we believe in our armed forces and i believe that, uh, um, very quickly we will be able to overcome this rash attack in the dutch gas today, an international conference is underway on the coordination of the efforts of the international community aimed at investigating russian crimes in ukraine, the head of diplomacy of the minister of justice, prosecutors from more than 30 countries of the world agree on the punishment and the ways of its implementation , zoryana stepanenko works in gas, a correspondent of radio svoboda in the eu my greetings to zoryan prospects as not in gaza, i am well acquainted with the

history of international justice, this is always a long and difficult process that stretches for more than one decade, and today it was mentioned here by literally everyone, however zealous and with which the international community undertook to investigate war crimes committed on ukrainian soil, they are here in gaza the team of the international criminal court working in ukraine is called unprecedented, the record-breaking process is moving surprisingly fast, and volodymyr zelenskyi, who went on a video call with gaga from kyiv, emphasized that people are not able to to wait a long time is ruthlessly playing into the hands of russia, people do not know how to wait long for justice, if justice has been served, people feel as if it is not there. and to ensure the feeling that justice is being restored, it is necessary not only to punish, it is obvious that the victims of crimes must be given

full assistance and rebuild everything destroyed by this aggression since the beginning of the invasion said zelenskyi, the ukrainian law enforcement agency counted more than 34,000 war crimes committed by russian troops, and every day at least 200 more new cases have already been added by the prosecutor general iryna venediktova, she was here personally from another russian attack, she is now recovering. as you know , peaceful ukrainian vinnytsia is here at zelenskyi's request with a moment of silence to honor the memory of the victims, and the participants of the forum noted that this news only encourages them to act more actively. well, i will note that the attack on vinnytsia took place just at the moment when the conference on war crimes in ukraine was going on while we are talking children women and men young and old live in terror they suffer in to ukraine, grieving for what they lost yesterday and

dying in anticipation of what tomorrow may bring, at such a time the law cannot be a spectator , the law cannot rest peacefully in gas or anywhere else, because it matters when it is intended to protect and support certain principles which are important for humanity, it is important to treat the evidence that is currently being collected in ukraine correctly. after all, they will have to be stored for decades. well, so that the specialists have the resources for proper work, they decided to support them financially today, the netherlands announced here the donation of an additional million euros to the international criminal court, however, its competence is to investigate only war crimes and crimes against humanity, and the armed aggression of russia against ukraine itself, which in fact led to the rest , this court cannot investigate, so the political leadership of ukraine calls to create a separate tribunal for these needs, which could eventually administer justice to the russian military leaders

and political leadership, in particular, the partners do not yet answer this question, yes, no, no, they answer listen diplomatically if the invasion hadn't happened we wouldn't be talking to you now about investigating all these beasts in principle so it's worth taking into account as i understand it we have to fill the vacuum i can imagine that we will really look at the possibility of creating such a tribunal it will probably not be easy but we will try to help ukraine where we can, we have agreed on a partner to interact more effectively in the investigation processes with this actually and started - and we parted ways but the first verdicts will see the light of day maybe in a decade, he told me european commissioner for justice and history tells colleagues that such processes are always a matter of not even one generation, please thank you very much zoryana stepanenko live zgagen well, i will remind you that 22

dead, at least as of now, this number is 22 dead, among them three children and 90 people injured in various ways the degree of injury they received as a result of the russian attack on vinnytsia, we remind you once again how it was at the officer's house and nearby all the windows were knocked out there, in fact, the square

. news, in particular, it will be possible to read and monitor the situation through the website of radio svoboda, the official website, as well as through social networks. well, in the meantime, i will say that the general staff reported that the russian troops launched about 30% of all their missile strikes in ukraine on civilian objects , these are schools hospitals, shopping centers, kindergartens , and so on, and according to the head, according to the representative of the general staff, russian troops increased the number of air strikes by almost one and a half times compared to the previous per week this is the news as of now, i remind you to subscribe to the pages of radio svoboda on the internet, and svoboda life will be back on the air

tomorrow. my greetings to everyone who is with us. yana melnyk, together with the news editors, i will tell you about the most important thing at the moment. the number of victims as a result of a missile strike is increasing. russians in vinnytsia currently know about 22 dead, 52 injured, 39 people remain missing. the national police of ukraine informs about this. caliber missiles from the black sea, a country of killers , a country of terrorists, president volodymyr zelenskyi responded with these words to the on-duty and kurashists in peaceful cities of ukraine with ordinary peaceful city cruise missiles
