are guaranteed by the law and the government always understands that the opposition is useful, and the opposition. i understand that the war has to be done together with the government, but if it is up to me and the law will be over everything, but if we understand this and reject all temptations, then i am convinced that together with our strong european allies the united states of america will win with fewer victims than if it were not for the armed forces of ukraine, we actually realize that now the government has to perform another important task, to finally transfer the economy to military flights, this is very an important task we still want to see what the government is planning to do because unfortunately the number of shelling of donetsk region for the unemployed, the escalation of taiwan in

nagorno -karabakh and the preparation of the so-called referendum in the occupied kherson region, the escalation in the east and the roosters have now started large-scale military exercises with the launch of ballistic missiles in the direction of the taiwan strait and the escalation in the highlands karabakh in the armed clashes between the azerbaijani and armenian forces there are casualties on both sides what is happening in the region 13 people died due to shelling in donetsk region , eight of them in the turkish region there, the russians hit a public transport stop, the

head of the donetsk regional administration, pavlo kyrilenko, reported this in a telegram, four more people among them, three children and a local priest were injured, the church and its surroundings and high-rise buildings were also damaged, according to preliminary information , the head of the region fired artillery again called on local residents to evacuate, and already five people were killed due to the shelling of donetsk and six were wounded. projectiles hit the donbass palace hotel and another projectile fell near the drama theater where the farewell to olga kachura, the colonel of the self-proclaimed dpr, was to be held. this was reported by representatives of the self-proclaimed republic, they accuse accusations against ukraine are also being spread by the russian state media, the adviser to the head of the office of the president of ukraine, mykhailo podolyak , said that ukraine was not involved in the shelling of donetsk according to the patriarch, quoted in donetsk, only the russians themselves or the people's militia corps of unrecognized criminal republics are fighting in donetsk. at the same time , ukrainian troops this week were able to liberate

two settlements in donetsk region, mazanivka and dmytrivka . zaporizhzhia and kherson directions and deconserves equipment for his deputy head of the main operational department of the general staff of the armed forces oleksiy gromov, according to him replenishment of forces and means russia uses through the kerch bridge and the territory of crimea, the peninsula is also used as a bridgehead for personnel and weapons, while the representative of the command of the armed forces noted that russia continues to use the syrian experience, it totally destroys the civilian infrastructure and the civilian population with missile airstrikes, moreover, the occupation authorities of the kherson region want to month to set the date of the so-called referendum on the region's accession to russia this is reported by the kremlin mass media, ukrainian intelligence indicates that the russians can hold a referendum as early as september 11 and are even preparing polling stations and

voter lists for this purpose ukrainian authorities are preparing to return kherson to that report from the front line of bbc correspondent andrew harding open road next to the front line ukrainian trenches on one side next to the shelled ruins of a newly liberated village here does not leave the feeling that it is like the devastation of the first world war, a world of underground bunkers and an unpredictable sky. this village is a wasteland, there are only dogs and soldiers in it, i have to keep a close eye on that what are we shooting here so as not to betray ukrainian positions after months of almost uninterrupted russian bombardment, the military here is very vigilant about its security, russian drones are scurrying overhead, but also here near the black sea coast, ukraine is beginning to take back its territory and is preparing for a much bigger

breakthrough, soldier i'm phoenix, that's why we're smiling , his unit suffered heavy losses here, we underestimate the russians - he says, but the enemy now lacks supplies and there are a lot of reinforcements in ukraine talks about the inevitability of a counteroffensive in the south, here are such videos reporting the destruction of russian supply lines, meanwhile, behind the front line in kherson, occupied by russia, the degree of anticipation is increasing kherson city сегодня we managed to communicate with a ukrainian journalist who is hiding in kherson, he hopes that the city will soon fall, we are happy because we kostyantyn ryzhenko understood when we hear ukrainian bombs exploding closer because it means that our troops are approaching us as close as possible they are indeed approaching but we should also

not forget that we are talking about a large front line on both sides of which side they are trying to deceive each other about their true intentions, it is not for nothing that ukrainian soldiers are reluctant to talk about a quick victory, we know that the russians are drawing more reinforcements to this area says serhiy belinsky, we definitely have western weapons, but he does not add enough of them. that is why russian bombs continue to fall in the southern direction on cities such as mykolaiv, while ukraine promises decisively however, it has not carried out a counterattack yet, and the so-called wave of mining has once again swept through ukrainian cities. during the day, such reports were also received from rivne, ternopil, khmelnytskyi , vinnytsia, kropyvnytskyi, and cherkasy. the spokesman of the odesa military administration, serhiy bratchuk, called this an element of hybrid information warfare and

suggested that in this way of quoting the enemy is trying to sow panic, but he added that in any case, every such message is an obligation to check the relevant services as journalist oleksiy bukhalo knows what is happening on the spot, he is with us now on a direct link from rivne. good evening oleksii, please tell me. good evening oleksii. at 12 o'clock the police received a report about the bombing of the railway bus station and the parking lot behind me in the center of the city, and accordingly, for 3 hours in a row, the special service explosive devices worked at the locations, and dog handlers also inspected the premises from which they had previously people were evacuated and the surrounding areas were surveyed . well, around 3:00 p.m., that is, after 3 hours

, the regional police said that no explosives or dangerous objects were found on the spot, but there is trolleybus number 3 in the center, one of which runs through the city center for 3 hours. i didn’t go directly to the railway stations, i went along a different route. well, of course, it affected some people, because there are many office buildings in the high-rise behind me, and as far as i know, people had to leave it to evacuate and were waiting while the special services were carrying out their work, please tell oleksia how the local residents actually perceive this. what is the atmosphere among those with whom you communicated, well, inconvenience, discomfort, but taking into account the fact that air alarms have been sounded over ukraine since february, well, i don't think that there is too

much discomfort but i know that a lot of people , um, today, hmm, got out of their usual work schedule, if we analyze how the city changed during these months of the war, according to your observations, how many residents of the city left or returned, and in general, what kind of dynamics now it is possible to say that a lot of people left in march. at the beginning of march, many acquaintances with whom i communicate periodically call to inquire about business, but until now they are hesitant to return to rivne region because they are constantly being asked about belarus, they are constantly being asked about the northern border, but most of them are also people who have already returned to rivne from poland, for example, from may to the beginning of june , to their usual work and, in principle,

live together with everyone and say that everything is fine, but a large part of people still calls constantly and interested in information, there is also a large part of people in the city who came from the east of ukraine and also from the center of ukraine, and also what we call internally displaced persons, thank you very much oleksii well, let's hope that everything will be fine. this was journalist oleksii bukhalo live from rivne china hit with missiles near taiwan as part of large-scale military exercises that began after a visit to a high-ranking american politician on a trip to the island of taipei, china said that china launched 11 ballistic missiles into the water around the northeastern and southwestern coasts of taiwan japan said that five chinese missiles also fell into its waters and called for an

immediate end to the exercises china perceived the visit of the speaker of the us house of representatives ms. pilosos as a challenge to its claims to sovereignty military exercises are conducted in the busiest maritime latitudes of the world, for this reason the chinese army suspended shipping routes and flights to taiwan, the leadership of the island, in turn, accused china of trying to establish a blockade and ivan is located 160 km from the south-eastern part of china, it is self-governing and independent, and china considers it part of its territory . about safety and we thank our men and women who wear the uniform for their contribution to the safety component but

also we have come here to say friendship relationships that began many years ago on the basis of urgency and security - these are the warmest relations less less to taiwan responded in the ministry of foreign affairs of china, the spokeswoman of the department stated that china's military exercises are self-defense and also accused the united states of inciting enmity in the region, once and for all clearly stated our strict position and emphasized that we strongly condemn independent separatist forces of taiwan and foreign interference in the situation and we will not allow any manifestation of taiwan independence if the us continues to follow the wrong path then receive the appropriate consequences and then don't say we didn't warn about it the united states made a deliberate provocation and china was forced to act in self-defense so all we did was countermeasure decisive and justified for the past

few days china has been massing large groups of aircraft and ships around taiwan and now we see that the exercises with shootings have started. that is , these are combat exercises. the representatives of the chinese army have called on all commercial ships and aircraft to avoid the training areas. and it is midnight southeast and west of taiwan, if the us air force sent its aircraft there to observe these exercises, the united states has done this before during similar combat exercises, it is said that the chinese army is considering a missile attack on the territory of taiwan. if this happens, the consequences will be enormous the victory of the dialogue with china is what ukraine is looking for in order to end the war,

volodymyr zelenskyi said this in an interview with the seld newspaper with a tea break, according to the president of ukraine the government has officially asked for a conversation with sidzempin since the beginning of russia's large-scale aggression on february 24. zelensky called on china to use its enormous political and economic influence on russia to end hostilities about the reaction of the chinese authorities to volodymyr zelenskyi's words . china connoisseur yuri poet good evening, mr. yuri, this is the first interview of the president of ukraine with an asian snake since the beginning of the full-scale russian invasion, he writes that the last time i talked to all of zimpin was last year that the chinese leader could end the war in ukraine, what do you think about this thesis? in fact, i completely agree with volodymyr zelenskyi because the people's republic of china is one of the most powerful states in the world, including from the point of view economy

, including from the point of view of international influence, from the point of view of military-political and military influence, and also technologically, therefore, china has all the tools to influence the russian federation and even its clear diplomatic position with my point of view was enough for the russian federation to revise its plans in relation to ukraine and even stop the war, but still, i think that the probability of a change in china's position on this issue is very, very low, because during the entire ukrainian -russian war that since 2014, china has not actually changed its position, it is often called pro-russian neutrality in the expert circle, in the russian expert circle it is called russia-friendly neutrality - it is this means that china, on the one hand, seems to support ukrainian territorial integrity, independence, sovereignty, but on the other hand, it is taking successive steps that are directed against the national interests of ukraine. this applies , for example, to voting in the un security council

. to ukrainian resolutions this applies, for example, to criticism of the provision of military equipment to ukraine from the west, the chinese constantly criticizes and a number of other other steps which china pursues against ukrainian, let's say, interests at the moment, we have to understand that the chinese are in strategic competition with the united states of america, therefore all allies of the united states ukraine is still such a partner, an important partner of the united states will be negatively perceived by china and for the people's republic of china, relations with the people's republic of china are very important by the russian federation for this strategic, in principle, united states of america and as far as i know even let's talk about the mechanisms, how effective is actually such the mechanism of addressing the leader of the dprk through the mass media from the point of view of the peculiarities of chinese diplomacy. i think that in this case all mechanisms can be used and they all take

place both in the diplomatic circle and through the media and through expert information transmission channels and so on, i think that all mechanisms can be used, but on the other hand, it also demonstrates let's say it is possible, it demonstrates the insufficient level of effectiveness of the diplomatic mechanism, because if the president zelenskyy addresses the chinese presidential office and through e-e through the mass media , perhaps this means that e-e that the channels of communication through e-e, through the issue through the ministry of foreign affairs are not working very well at the moment. therefore, it is possible that the ukrainian president is not only addressing the leader at the moment the people's republic of china is sisinping, but it also demonstrates this in this world. he also demonstrates it to the chinese chinese society so that it is possible to more effectively influence the decisions of the chinese leader, mr. yuri, please tell me, are you already touched on the question of china being called

a great friend of russia, but under what circumstances can the leader of the dprk accede to the call of the president of ukraine. i think that currently there are very few such cases due to some factors that could change the chinese position. according to my observations and the observations of very serious experts, for example, from the european union, with whom i have dealt, china is unlikely to change its position in relation to the russian-ukrainian war, and even more so in relation to more pro-ukrainian position because relations with the russian federation are still very important for china, on the contrary, it can more intensively support the russian federation. it is unlikely that we can now talk about military or military-technical support against economic , financial, media support, support at the level of diplomacy in the international at the international level is currently very intense and it may still

increase because china is interested in trade with the russian federation and it is interested in in order to support friendly and constructive relations with the russian federation, please. how do the start of chinese military exercises today and the escalation around taiwan affect beijing 's policy regarding the russian war in ukraine ? we are currently witnessing a full-scale military conflict between the people's republic of china and the united states, or ivan on the one hand. this would have a significant impact because china in that case, i would look for allies and one of such military allies could be the russian federation, that we will observe only a crisis, a crisis situation, for example, it is military exercises, it is a blockade of an island, it is possible that it is economic sanctions , it is more likely that it is such a crisis situation will not significantly affect russian-chinese relations. thank you very much

, mr. yury, and we will move on to another escalation in nagorno-karabakh, there are already skirmishes between the azerbaijani army and armenian forces active military operations in nagorno-karabakh formally ended in the fall of 2020, when russian troops were withdrawn from there. on august 1, the authorities of the unrecognized nagorno-karabakh republic declared that the azerbaijani army had tried to cross the contact line above it earlier to injure an armenian soldier. the ministry of defense of azerbaijan called it a provocation . at the same time, on august 2, the ministry of defense of russia accused azerbaijan of violating the regime of silence of what is happening in the conflict zone. can we talk about the threat of another of the war, explains the head of the azerbaijani service of the bbc, kamyul khalilograzh, at the moment, the situation is calmer, but most likely the tension is not over yet. azerbaijan is dissatisfied with the fact that the

armed forces of armenia still remain in karabakh. azerbaijan says that no one recognizes such a republic and these armenians are citizens of azerbaijan and azerbaijan can protect them if they agree to accept azerbaijani passports after yesterday's attack , armenian politicians in yerevan and local residents of karabakh challenged the russian peacekeepers for not being able to observe the ceasefire and prevent the attacks of azerbaijan. karabakh do not comply with their obligations and clauses of the cease-fire agreement between russia, azerbaijan and armenia from 2020 you don't want russia to withdraw all

armed armenians from karabakh earlier azerbaijan accused russian peacekeepers of turning a blind eye to the redeployment of armenian forces in karabakh azerbaijan called these hostilities operation retribution the ministry of defense of azerbaijan reported that yesterday morning the armenian armed forces of karabakh killed one azerbaijani soldier and the armed operation was launched already. after this incident, the army says that it has returned some important heights , including over the khojaly region, here the government criticized for the fact that he left some parts of karabakh to the armenians, especially places such as khojaly, where the armenian armed forces killed the inhabitants of an entire village during the first karabakh war, during yesterday's battles, two servicemen of the karabakh defense army, as they call themselves, died , about 20 more were injured from the exacerbation of military to gas how to cope with

putin's reduction in energy supplies this winter, the government of ukraine europe is looking for a solution germany is reviewing its energy policy and considering whether it is worth to extend the service life of its nuclear power plants german chancellor offshore accuses moscow of blocking the supply of the turbine, which russia says is necessary for the uninterrupted pumping of gas to europe our correspondent in berlin, jenny gill, more details he is keeping europe on the gas hook putin knows that germany depends on his energy, its gas is needed german industry, the aluminum produced here passes through vital supply chains, cars, medical equipment, wind generators, but this winter, no one excludes a shortage. to be honest, if they cut the electricity supply , there is no real emergency plan. the only thing

that can be done is to determine priorities and distribute power among the most important areas, the shutdown of which will harm society the most. so you are in favor of cutting production, this is the only way russia has cut gas in europe, but there they want the world to believe that germany is also to blame for this. and there are no technical reasons to stop gas in russia, but the same chancellor promised to gradually abandon coal and nuclear energy, so now is the time to review these promises, the last three german nuclear power plants produce only electricity, moreover, in a small amount, nevertheless, it makes sense to continue their operation this would be a huge political compromise. one of these stations is located in bavaria and provides 12%

of the region's electricity. at the end of the year, it is planned to be decommissioned. lanzgut is painfully aware that this winter they may not even have enough gas reserves for many disasters. we are preparing for a natural disaster. in the event of a gas supply disruption, energy-intensive industries will be the first to be taken off the grid and this will have catastrophic consequences for the industry of our region. take care of such places as hospitals and homes for the elderly. putin casts a long shadow over the hot german summer, perhaps it is not yet the chemical and political upheavals that he would like to create in the heart of europe, but the kremlin has already forces european governments, like the german one, to make difficult decisions and make uncomfortable choices even though the europeans have not even received their new payments yet. an unstable winter awaits europe, and

its leaders face the critical task of protecting themselves from russian influence. during the weekend, three policemen will clean up and commemorate the anniversary of those who died there in the tragic events two years ago due to a large-scale explosion there in 2020 , more than 200 people died, the city still does not recovered from the tragedy, residents still have many questions, says bbc correspondent karentorbey , time for these students, graduation means the beginning of a new journey, but one place remains empty , this outfit should be worn today alice elguriy he died during an explosion in the port of beirut, at that time the boy was at home, a classmate is remembered him as a wonderful friend and an aspiring rapper, it's not

only the mountains that kill from the inside, it's also the feeling of injustice that destroys you in every way, it's injustice because of how our loved ones died because it wasn't either a war or a terrorist attack. two years ago, a warehouse for ammonium nitrate exploded in the port of beirut. the explosive wave swept through the city, killing more than two hundred and injuring thousands of people. it devastated whole neighborhoods and forced tens of thousands of residents , friends and relatives of the deceased, hung up their photos near porto, the pictures speak for themselves about the scale of the tragedy and they also remind that the relatives of the victims will be able to feel comfort only when justice is the winner two years after the explosion the investigation has completely stalled activists and relatives of the victims say numerous manipulations reduce the chances of justice during the investigation we

saw that the political forces used all possible tools to avoid responsibility for the explosion what we have today is a society that has begun to realize the impunity of this regime and the need to get rid of it in the meantime the consequences of this explosion are still being felt, the remaining elevators in the port are gradually collapsing, part of the wheat could not be retrieved from there, it began to ferment and he can get busy at any moment under the scorching sun , two years have passed and this port elevators can neither stand normally nor fall, they are frozen in time waiting for the end and i will remind you that ukrainian grain should arrive in the lebanese elevators in the next few days, from one day they told us about it of which 26,000 tons of ukrainian corn should arrive on board three fields already this weekend, the

world hopes that this will allow unblocking ukrainian grain exports to save millions from hunger, and in ukraine that this will save the economy you can read more about this on our website bbc.ua. there is also a detailed analysis of financial assistance . the article has colleagues of anastasia nudu. that’s what it ’s called. they went to ukraine with western money. read what it gives. read on the website bbc.ua. you can also use our social networks and our program watch vvcnews ukraine on youtube and on facebook live or at any convenient time for you on the television broadcast, turn us on exactly at 9:00 pm kyiv time, all is well well, i can't accept that this house is no longer there, so that there will be light and warmth it's scary how never but someone has to do it they work
