well, the new york times wrote that this is a ukrainian weapon, we have, er, otrka, er, peregrine falcon, well, on export, they called otrk a thunderbolt that strikes up to 500 km, so maybe it's something there, well, we'll keep an eye on it. thank you for being with us. during this time, i i say goodbye to you until tomorrow until the 19th follow the events on the espresso website as well as our airwaves take care of yourself be aware of the danger of the enemy now for your attention i offer the issue of news prepared by my colleagues from the ukrainian editorial office of bbc news let's watch together good evening we are from ukraine welcome to bbc news ukraine live and olga palamaryuk works in the studio from london, and today the issue of the explosions in crimea talks about the attack on the military airfield, what is known about the new fedorovka, if we leave at least

something of russia on the territory of ukraine, will it be a permanent war or possible negotiations between ukraine and russia, exclusive interview the bbc of the adviser to the head of the president's office, mykhailo podolyak, and two years after the falsified presidential elections in belarus, the suppression of mass protests, how ukraine's northern neighbor has changed, and whether the war could have been avoided if the opposition came to power and we start with the news a series of explosions occurred in the occupied crimea in the last hours at the russian air base there were several loud explosions in the area of ​​the settlement of novofadorivka in

social networks a video showing fire and plumes of smoke was distributed a village located on the shore of the black sea near the city of saka earlier novofedorivtsi was a military unit of the army aviation of ukraine, but in 2014, during the seizure of the peninsula, russia placed its air base there, was there an official reaction in kyiv to the explosions in crimea, and what exactly let's ask my colleague viktoria zhugan. she is in direct contact with us. congratulations. so, what is known at the moment. good evening, i will start with the fact that in the evening summary of the general staff there was not a word about crimea, but in the end during the day there were statements of representatives of the ukrainian authorities in which this situation was mentioned. although not directly, perhaps the most specific statement was the statement of the vice-prime minister iryna vereshchuk, who

connected the explosions in novofedorivka with what i am quoting . crimea is ukraine. that is what she wrote today the explosion in novofedorivka is another reminder of whether the crimea, because ukraine is still possible. it is worth paying attention to the statement of mykhailo podolyak from the president's office, although he already spoke less specifically, he simply wrote that the future of the crimean peninsula will be the pearl of the black sea. he wrote that what is happening where the militarization of the russian federation and that crimea will not be a military base for terrorists, i quote, and he ended his statement on twitter with the phrase everything is just beginning, and in conclusion, it is worth mentioning the statements of the ministry of defense of ukraine, which nevertheless appeared a few hours after the announcement of the explosions in crimea, and this statement confirms anya and

refutes the information that it could be the result of the actions of the armed forces of ukraine in the ministry of defense, they said no they know the reasons for the fire in crimea, but in the reports they also used a meme joke about the ban on smoking in unspecified places in russia, and a meme about business cards, if the audience remembers yarosh's business cards, because the ministry of defense wrote that russia might find at the scene of the incident there are characteristic chevrons on business cards or even there was also a message for the ukrainian audience, apparently about that is, this is such a euphemism for clapping as it sounds in russian media and social networks when explosions are reported in russia thank you thank you video meanwhile russian troops

continue shelling settlements in donetsk region and luhansk region in kharkiv, as a result of a night strike , a hotel complex was damaged elements of transport and critical infrastructure , the night was also restless in nikopol, dnipropetrovsk region but not the most dangerous remains in the zaporizhia region, the russians mined the nuclear power plant, damaged the control center and threaten to blow up all important npp facilities, the ukrainian authorities call such actions nuclear blackmail and call on the wealthy to visit the zaporizhia npp by the end of the month, at the same time, the secretary of the us security and defense council, oleksiy danilov , accused the same poor situation in inaction from his words this organization did nothing to warn of the threat and we are talking more about it and the traitor of the minister of energy of ukraine lana zerkal greetings thank you for joining our broadcast, so the first question is what is currently known about the situation at the zaporizhia npp, how does the station work, under what conditions,

good day, well, the station continues to work. they are fulfilling all the orders of the dispatcher with ukrainian territory and under the control of ukraine. e station and now the situation is not stable and it cannot be stable in view of everything that is happening around and indeed the blackmail that russia carries out in relation to the whole world he is on the verge of a foul or already beyond the limit of understanding the possibilities. and how do you assess the reaction in the store to recent events ? megatelno hesitates to be neutral and not to bother

not on this side. there is uncontrolled behavior at such an important and dangerous facility as a nuclear power plant. how do you think it is realistic that the mission of the iaea will visit before the end of the month? if this happens, what consequences will this visit have, it is really very important to ensure safety around the station and the operation of the station because it depends on it, well, in fact, how we will live in the future, an accident, any accident at such a dangerous facility, it will have consequences not only for ukraine, but also for the whole world, therefore the mission has well, to create conditions under which any accident will be impossible and in general, the

presence and military presence of the russians at this facility must be completed, well, the capture by the russian military of the largest nuclear power plant in europe is a story that at least it looks like there can be no easy solutions. but is there even a small hope that, as in the case of the chernobyl nuclear power plant, the russians can enter and leave the station, well, in my opinion, there are always opportunities. the main issue is to find an opportunity to unblock the black sea and ukrainian ports. it was also very illusory. were able to find maybe we all together, diplomats and politicians, will be able to find the pain point that will work this time with the russians

, also thank you for the conversation. it was the adviser to the minister of energy of ukraine, lana dzerkal, to conduct negotiations with the russian authorities, the ukrainian side is ready only from a position of strength, this was the opinion expressed by the adviser to the president's office in an exclusive interview with the bbc. mykhailo podolyak told whether ukraine is ready for a dialogue with russia, and whether the ukrainian authorities have a plan in case the current course for unconditional victory is not will work with mr. podalyak my colleague sviatoslav khomenko talked about the interbank kremlin , which are the communication channels that are currently absent? there are practically only e-e channels where there are negotiations on the exchange of the bodies of the dead and the exchange of prisoners, because even we can't talk about humanitarian corridors because russia is not a country for which there is such a concept as a humanistic approach, whether there is a war or how we should deal with

people who are in the occupied territories , fine. if so, then maybe in ukraine it is worth it formulate your own negotiating position and make it public and let the world understand that ukraine needs peace more than russia. but don't forget what the price is, yes, this position is absolutely clearly articulated by mr. president and a certain by a certain number of people who are related to the government of ukraine. these are very clear positions. russia must leave and cease fire unconditionally. this is the first position to immediately leave the territory of ukraine in its entirety, including kryv , including crimea. at least a part of ukraine will remain - it will be a permanent place of provocation, they will invent biolaboratories, i don't know flying squirrels there, but they will have someone to talk to about anything, about the shelling of some people of atlantis there

for the protection of which we must destroy a million , for example, ukrainians there, that is, if we leave at least something of russia on the territory of ukraine, it will be a permanent war, we must realize that it cannot be such that we sign some kind of peace there, as i said, as i already said, minsk 3 because then we we have to admit that it will be a war again in a year and then we have to admit that we have to completely forget about the possibility of developing ukraine because our partners will subconsciously understand that ukraine if at least some territory remains under control quasi separatists or there quasi russian proxies of some kind yes, well, or simply under the control of russia, there will be absolutely no need to invest money in ukraine, there will be no need to return to ukraine, there will be no need to develop business, that is,

ukraine will be a territory that will not develop it will be a ruin and for russia, this is the scenario for which they are working out everything today, even if they do not want to, cannot absorb ukraine, they want ukraine to look like a completely destroyed territory where no one comes money is the key, that is, let's admit it and let's not play these games anymore, we definitely started from a different negotiation process, you remember at the beginning there was a ceasefire and the withdrawal of russian troops on a-a yes yes yes on february 23 - no today it is clear, it is impossible, it is physically impossible, even russia does not want it, because even such a format is already a loss for russia, i understand you correctly now that according to your words, the outcome of the war cannot be some kind of draw, some scenario, it is only a victory for ukraine a-a i

i understand that you want to have ideal systems, yes , that is, an ideal solution. no, this is war. and war has specifics. the specifics are so simple. someone has to win . someone has to lose. this is not a territorial war, but a war of values. that is, it will be determined how humanity will develop there for the next 50 years. years, well, at least that's why i believe that from a value point of view, from a progressive point of view, it is extremely important for humanity that ukraine wins , that is, ukraine must win, because we are on the side, frankly, if you even say pathetically, we are on on the side of good, we are on the side of the side that will give humanity the opportunity to really develop progressively . russia demonstrates a different type of civilization - it is a return to barbaric times to the middle ages . that is, where strength is strength and if you are strong, you can humiliate anyone, you don't have to listen to anyone, you

can kill anyone. this is what russia gives. russia could not integrate itself into the progressive direction of human development, and it understands this subconsciously. russia understands that they are outsiders. they must disappear. this is a civilization that has already died, and this must be explained. to partners and the president is doing this. by the way, it is not a question of the number of weapons, it is not a question of loss of territory there or vice versa, that we will take the territory back, this is not a sectoral redistribution - it is not a redistribution of sales markets and so on. this is precisely the war for how humanity will continue to develop. see if russia wins, then all authoritarian systems and even certain democratic systems with such a weak democracy will understand that democracy is not beneficial. freedom is not beneficial. competition is generally this outsiderness. it is beneficial to live in a camp a specific vertical at the top of which is a mad

hatter king, but if ukraine wins, then there will be completely different values, the motives are understandable to people. that is, it is freedom for the sake of freedom, you have to pay any price , and ukraine pays it. ukraine's victories - in your opinion, what is indicative of putin's signing of the decree that crimea goes to ukraine, this is the trident above the kremlin towers - this is the disintegration of russia into 8 separate principalities, which is why it does not matter at all what will happen to russia if ukraine wins, this is what i believe that the victory of ukraine is concrete the return of all ukrainian territories under the de facto control of ukraine, legally it is not ours, that is , the countries and donbass, and of course zaporizhzhia and kherson oblast, it is legal and so on, but it was fundamental for us. it is important that russia loses because it will go down for 15-20 years from the global

market and you know what will disappear in parallel with this russia is putting money into the far right and nazis all over the world russia is investing in various terrorist organizations russia is provoking small big conflicts in africa in the middle east series example, russia is constantly troubling europe . chaos is growing there. russia is constantly provoking migration crises, hunger crises, energy crises, this will all disappear for a certain time, that is, europe and we will be able to invest in the development of our well-being, this will be a victory for europe, by the way, and a full interview with mykhailo podelyak will soon watch on our page on youtube and also read on our website bbc.ua and the united states will provide ukraine with military aid worth 1 billion dollars, the

press service of the american ministry of defense in the pentagon notes that ukraine will be provided with a significant amount of additional ammunition, weapons and equipment, which the ukrainian people use so effectively to defend their country. in connection with the studio from washington natalka congratulations, so what is different about this us aid package and what american sources say about it, my colleague, congratulations, i will actually start with what in the last day, just in these minutes, literally 10 minutes ago, it became known about another package of american aid to ukraine. thus, we can divide them into three such categories. so, the most recent aid package is 89 million dollars. the state

department announced about it and its purpose - this demining of ukrainian lands and demining there is emphasized in the statement of the state budget that it is not about sea mines about any waterways, but it is about what is this money will be spent on special equipment and on the training of relevant specialists. it is expected that about 100 teams will be trained, including with the help of the american side. they will consist of groups of two to 12 people who will actually be engaged in various companies. we expect that what this money means 80-9 million dollars will be enough for the demining of 160,000 square kilometers of ukrainian soil. and if we talk about the aid package provided by the pentagon, then actually this cost of 1 billion dollars also includes quite a lot

of ammunition, this is actually ammunition for heimers - 75,000 shots for artillery and the size of 155 mm, it also refers to mortar complexes and cartridges for them, ammunition to us, about one thousand zhiguli and about 50 armored cars for ukrainian medics, as well as hundreds of anti-tank systems -4 if we talk about the actual economic aid package, it will consist of four and a half billion dollars, and it is expected that the first tranche will arrive already in august , that is, this month it will also be provided in close cooperation with the american by the ministry of finance as well as by the american agency for international development, this is the situation at the moment, thank you, thank you for the story and it is not related to the help, but it is important , no less, that at night the federal bureau of investigation

searched the residence of former president donald trump, what is known about this operation in br and what potential consequences it will have when if we talk about this operation stupidly, there are quite a lot of questions about it because all american journalists are interested in is which judge signed this search warrant or cowards, the former leaders of the united states issued a rather lengthy statement in which he reported that, quoting his beautiful home, his mara largo was visited by american representatives of the federal bureau of investigation, moreover, they opened the safe of most american experts who say that this the search is connected exactly with the case that arose at the beginning of this year when it became known that donald trump did not hand over to the national archives quite a lot of secret documents the archives turned to the ministry of justice on this matter and, accordingly, certain negotiations began. and

actually the sources with whom my colleagues from washington, post, and new york spoke, they all talk about the fact that there is possibly something else that can be searched for and even found, but, for example , they are all republicans as one they say that this is the persecution of the former president, moreover, those supporters of donald trump who work, for example, in congress, they have already declared that as soon as they gain control and this is their hope for this year's elections, as soon as they have control over the lower house, they will immediately begin an investigation into the attorney general of america regarding the work of his department. at the same time, it is worth noting that those republicans who have such a rather tense relationship with trump after the attack on the capitol on january 6, 2025 are primarily between makonu , the helmsmen of the 16th minority, they refrain from

any statements, so this whole process is quite interesting to watch. well, the observers are saying what the republicans are going to say about the attempts the white house and the administration should make sure that donald trump does not compete for the presidential office in 2024. this is the situation. in the west, the candidate from the opposition svitlana tikhanovskaya won, the victory stolen from the opposition pushed the society to mass protests, the largest in the recent history of the country, peaceful demonstrations were harshly suppressed protesters were beaten and thrown into prisons , presidential candidates received huge terms or fled the country like thousands of other people fleeing criminal prosecution, so whether

events could have unfolded differently and what consequences the protests of belarus in 2020 have for ukraine, we will discuss with the expert of the ukrainian institute of the future igor tyshkevych, he is now with us on a direct link from kyiv, so i congratulate mr. igor, what have these past two years turned into for belarus and for ukraine, well, for belarus, this is a change to the ukrainian manner of the political situation and in fact the fixation of the division of the belarusian society, which previously was only at the value level, there were several groups, as of today, we can talk about the segmentation of the belarusian society, and each group has its own informational root, which means that there is a single informational field and the possibility of communication between by different groups well, belarusian society is not needed, and it is not, and it is the poles of the magnet - it is a supporter of lukash - it is the base of support for

lukashenka and the base of support for the new position of the 20th year they are approximately equal, they are from 20 to 22%. and this is actually a very big problem for the belarusians in order to rebuild the fact that they are a single nation but a single position from the point of view of foreign policy, well , they repeated the situation of the 11th year, and when the authoritarian regime went for repression in response , there were sanctions from the european union and the united states of america, but the initiators of the introduction of these sessions did not take into account the fact that the sanctioning mechanism does not work today, it worked before and, accordingly, when there is an alternative where the state to leave a and the sun is not comprehensive and does not cover all partner states a-a victims of sanctions policy, then in this case it is sanctions, it is

not an e-e stimulation to correct the situation. and it actually took place, the senses pushed belarus into the arms of russia, it was already in the 11th year, because in the 10th year belarus refused to join the customs union of the russian federation, therefore there was no other wedding, it happened in principle and today, unfortunately, we plus we need to underestimate russian lobbyists in the european union because before the start of the war in ukraine until the 22nd year, and i say this with confidence because they analyzed there is not a single legal entity that was not listed for this, and in whose business there would be no interest and one or another of the russian group , russia also worked very actively here. in your opinion, or under a different president of belarus , a situation of an attack on ukrainian territory from the north would be possible. let others speak to the president

. due to the fact that the belarusian regime failed to communicate in the fight against the code, so that instead of reacting to criticism, it resorted to repression and you, in the end. there is also no need to change the very structure of belarusian society, because a new social groups, so the brains themselves, the middle class, which was out of political communication in general. and of course , a very interesting thing here is the work of russian propagandists, because until october 19, it was not 9:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.,

it was very much the limit of the russian mass media, they supported the opposition after that in one day they began to support mr. lukashenko, their task was very simple, there was a split in society, according to the conversation with us, ihor tyshkevich, an expert of the ukrainian institute of the future, was in touch, and over the past two years, belarus has changed significantly from crowded streets with protesters to crowded cameras and stars, and this transformation is perfectly visible on the example of active belarusians. in august 2020, three activists oleksiy tikhonov and yuliya were among those who expressed their disagreement with the belarusian authorities and ended up behind bars, they restricted correspondence with relatives and and in general any communication with the outside world, ironically, their release coincided with the beginning of a full-scale russian invasion of ukraine in the history of tikhon oleksiy and yulia further from a

lot of missiles of different calibers were launched on the territory of belarus, which caused various sufferings in ukraine, we are taking part in this operation . what's going on, you can't just keep silent and talk about it, it's not us, it's from our territory, the russian federation is firing a shot my name is tikhon klikach i was a participant in the belarusian protests in the summer and autumn in 2020, i was released from the

currently fighting regimes with two regimes that prevent us all, ukrainians and belarusians, from taking part in life. and on our pages in social networks, and watch our program tomorrow at 9:00 a.m. all the best. take care of yourself so that ukrainians don’t think about it, so that they don’t talk about it in the first place, war, war, and our victory are still coming out, seven days a week from monday to monday, seven different spheres of human activity, sport , culture, politics, eight presenters of express , journalists, experts, opinion leaders in
