palamaryuk works in the studio. congratulations. you are a step away from the focus of bbc new from ukraine managed to communicate with an employee of the zaporozhye nuclear power plant as a result of an attack by the armed forces in luhansk region, the headquarters of the wagnerites was destroyed, russian ukrainian sources reported what is known president duda honored the memory of the unr fighters who , together with the poles, defeated the bolsheviks more than 100 years ago. today marks the day of the armed forces of poland . three people died as a result of an explosion on one of the beaches of the bay. the tragedy happened the day before. a group

of men were resting on the beach. device, the dead were working on the construction site there, they came from chernihiv zaporozhye and zhytomyr regions , two more people with injuries are currently in the hospital, it is restless now and in kharkiv oblast today in the morning, the russians fired at the 9th floor, two people were injured near the public transport stop, at the same time, the critical situation remains at the zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant , as reported by energoatom, the nuclear power plant operates with the risk of violating radiation and fire safety standards, there is still a possibility of a hydrogen leak and spraying of radioactive substances today verkhovna rada adopted a resolution addressing the world community with a call to condemn russia's act of nuclear terrorism at the zaporizhzhia npp, the deputies called for the application san against the russian race and its subordinate enterprises, and the member states of the mgt are offered to address the general conference of the agency

regarding the suspension of russia's rights as a member and what is currently happening on the territory of the nuclear power plant, we will ask my colleague zhanna bezpyachok, she is in direct contact with us. some experts believe that the situation at the zhanna station is close to magic, where do such parallels come from, others compare the threat to chernobyl, what is known for sure from official and possibly unofficial sources, in particular from people work at the zaporizhzhia npp, it is well known that in the beginning of august regular shelling of the zaporizhia nuclear power plant took place, these shells still damaged that part of the infrastructure of the station that is not so critical that an accident may occur immediately after its damage, but as a result of these shellings, they were damaged power transmission line

e-e power transmission which is just critically important , first of all, so that electricity from a nuclear power plant could e-e spread to spread over the territory of ukraine, to be delivered to consumers in the distribution network further, and secondly, these power transmissions are needed to power the pumps, those pumps that prevent overheating of the reactors, they cool them, according to the words, that is, their work helps to cool six reactors of the zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant and if, as a result of shelling reported by local residents, reported by bbc sources at the zaporizhia nuclear power plant, reported by the authorities of ukraine, in particular, by energoatom, constantly, almost daily, we we hear reports that shelling took place

either from the territory of energodar occupied by russian troops, only they are there or and in general, we at the bbc have evidence that they were also fired from artillery installations in the territory behind the zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant and the so-called arrivals and arrivals of projectiles were literally taking place after a few seconds and this is the reality, if this continues and if all the power lines are damaged, then hypothetically the station will stop, in particular, the work will stop of these same pumps, and then there is a real threat of an accident , which the ukrainian authorities constantly talk about, and if such a threat exists, the next probable step of the russian occupation administration of the russian troops and russia in general may be a kind of assistance in quotation marks, which will consist in switching the zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant to the power grid in the direction of zaporizhzhia, melitopol dzhankoy is the ukrainian power grid and the direction,

but today it is the occupied part of the ukrainian territory and all responsibility for what is there russia, ukraine has no control over this, and in practice it will mean, in fact, it would mean the loss of control over the zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant by ukraine, it will not mean a large-scale disaster if such a scenario is implemented and the world community will not be able to influence it russian troops will remain there but this is a very serious challenge for ukraine, because it is an important power plant that provides the population of the enterprise with electricity. the staff of the zaporizhzhia npp, these people have been under occupation for six months, and we know that now they are also under fire, so

again, from our sources, we at the zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant know that people are very scared, first of all, at the beginning of august, they are literally under fire in energodar itself in the houses, there are no shelters, they are shooting from the energodars in the direction of nikopol, this is from the words of the people, they are shooting from the energodars in the direction of the station, shelling is taking place, what does it look like to eyewitnesses inside the station, there is military equipment on the territory of the station the russian army has artillery installations, er, the russian military is present and they conduct additional personnel checks at checkpoints. people in such conditions, of course, work under daily stress . about half of the city's residents have left there in recent weeks, and station personnel are also leaving. people are actually fleeing from the real danger of shelling and the question of who will be able to continue working at the

power plant to ensure its functioning, because even before that, a large part of the employees had to leave, very tired from all this the situation that it takes six months, well, zhanna, we know that 42 countries called on russia to withdraw troops from the territory of the nuclear power plant, so what do you think you can hope for, that a compromise temporary solution will be found, for example, it was the case with the export of grain, well, obviously, an important role in the world community really had to play a role in this situation, and we can already see that there are certain steps, this is the statement of 42 countries, the european union joined it as an association and individual member states of the european union, great britain, as well as canada the united states of america and turkey - this is important. turkey took part in the agreements regarding

the restoration of the grain expert, and they all say that the first step is to withdraw the troops from the territory of the zaporozhye nuclear power plant, the troops of russia . there may already be the following agreements, in particular, general demilitarization of the entire zone and, as much as possible, the desired zone around the border with the soviet union. but again, in this case, ukraine emphasizes the fact that it can be about er, well, actually , such a scenario when in russia the goal is er to completely seize control of the system and er to bring its personnel there in order for this electricity to be used for the occupied south of ukraine for crimea in particular. thank you very much there was my colleague

zhanna bezpyachuk and the militants in donetsk threaten to execute five foreigners who were captured by the russians, three of them, a citizen of sweden, a citizen of croatia, a citizen of great britain, they threaten to execute them in russia, this is called judicial by the process of britain, the exploitation of detainees for political purposes, bbc correspondent emma vardy tells what is known about three britons in captivity of separatists, they all came to ukraine in slightly different ways. ukrainian units and when the invasion began he was heavily involved in the fighting fought as part of the ukrainian army regarding andrew gill he went there at the beginning of the invasion as well as many other foreigners in order to join the

international legion, which was created to fight together with the ukrainian army. this is already a special case. they say that he was an employee of the prizidium network, which helped evacuate people when he was detained by all three russians, and the so-called dpr considers them mercenaries. of course this is not the first trial that we have seen of british people who were captured during this conflict a few months ago, aiden asling and sean pinner, who fought on the side of the ukrainian army , were also captured, they were also tried in this the judge who recognized them as mercenaries accused them of other crimes such as terrorism and sentenced them to death, we expect that the sentence will not be carried out because negotiations between ukraine and russia are currently ongoing in order to carry out an exchange of prisoners, but of course there are still no guarantees whether this will happen or not no, it looks like the same fate awaits these three men, they will most likely be found guilty after a short trial and sentenced to the death penalty

. a group of russian troops and other russian-controlled forces. such data was made public in the latest summary of the institute for the study of war. among this list, in particular, is the private military company wagner. according to the data, the wagnerites took part in most of the recent captures in the bakhmut area , and the headquarters of the mercenaries is located in popasnaya. the object came under fire the day before, the strikes were carried out from the american heimers jet system, the head of the luhansk military administration, serhii gaidai, confirmed this information, in particular, reported the death about hundreds of wagnerites and although the ukrainian side adheres to the same version, experts have doubts about how everything actually happened, so why are we asking about this from the military expert oleksandr kovalenko p oleksandr i congratulate you, so while some are rejoicing over the successful special operations of the armed forces, there are those

who say that there is no such thing the so-called headquarters of the wagnerites is not all that clear, there is an opinion that the mercenaries themselves could have staged the attack by provoking the ukrainian military what do you think is the truth of this and how is everything really happened good evening and yes, these stories are indeed very dubious such a-a moments, namely that a-ah the so-called wagnerian mercenaries and they invited one of the russian military correspondents directly to the base, who took the very photo of the placement of these mercenaries that well, it’s not really acceptable, because he completely leaked the geolocation in this way, in fact, this is not the first time . and when exactly are the russian so-called military correspondents, they leak the locations of russian technical units

etc. this is not the first time, actually, but it is a completely different matter when it comes to average military personnel, and it is a completely different matter when it comes to the advanced ones, they are more professional and more prepared. therefore, it is not excluded that this was done so that the armed forces of ukraine would really use m142 himers and when the firing was done, the russians were able to implement some actions, for example counter battery combat to destroy this rocket salvo system, but as you know, the rocket salvo system was not destroyed, and among the wagnerites there are indeed both dead and wounded, but the

information that their leader yevgenia prigozhina was destroyed directly is not confirmed he remained alive well , today the verkhovna rada extended the martial law and mobilization in ukraine for another three months . the war continues, and therefore martial law continues, so we must prepare for the solution of the issue of the de-occupation of the territory of ukraine - this is not some event in the near future, not in a month, not in two more or less realistic terms regarding the liberation of the territory of ukraine - this is the year 2023, this is exactly the period when the armed forces of ukraine will go to the borders of the temporarily occupied crimean peninsula, and how exactly will it be, what exactly will the development of the situation on the mainland

of the country be, and it will depend from eh, how the counter offensive actions of the armed forces of ukraine on the southern bridgehead and also partially on the donbas bridgehead will be how effectively they will be implemented. well, the armed forces once again struck the antonov bridge, making it unsuitable for the movement of heavy russian equipment . control over the transport and logistics arteries in the occupied territory, namely if we are talking about the southern bridgehead and directly the right bank part of the kherson region, and full fire control over the logistics arteries between the left and right banks of the kherson region are controlled 100% by the armed forces of ukraine. and today we can say that this is exactly the key to victory on the southern a-a bridgehead and more intensive

de-occupation of the territory at the expense of depriving the russian occupiers of the opportunity to supply weapons, ammunition, and equipment as well as reinforcement units exactly to the right bank through the antonivskyi and the bridges are railways and cars, and also use the kakhovsky bridge language this was a military expert oleksandr kovalenko and the president of poland aje and duda paid tribute to the fallen soldiers of the ukrainian people's republic who fought together with the poles against the bolsheviks in 1920. he laid a wreath and knelt in front of the monument to the fallen soldiers. on august 15, poland celebrates the day of the polish army. poles remember the victorious warsaw battle that took place in a story called a miracle on a donkey, then the poles together with the ukrainians repelled the attack of the bolsheviks and defeated the red army as a result, the republic of poland managed to win the independence of the soldiers of the ukrainian people's republic side by side

with the polish military held back the bolshevik onslaught reminded anzejd we come here every year on the eve of the great holiday, the joyous holiday, the holiday of pride, which i am great victory in the battle of warsaw, a great victory of our army of the polish republic, revived more than 100 years ago, over the bolshevik onslaught victory, which at that moment was unexpected, the bolsheviks themselves were confident of their effective victory, they were stopped by the heroism of polish soldiers thanks to marshal józef pilsud military commanders thanks to the steadfastness of the soldiers and incredible heroism managed to defeat the soviets , repel them and win one of the biggest and most important victories in the history of not only europe , but also the world, they defended the country from bolshevism, from human cruelty, from rape, from death, from the incredible rage that the

soviet army carried with it at that time, which was clear to all you know that not much has changed. at this moment, we understood what it means to defend the motherland and independence, now it is much clearer, we look at the people who came to us from ukraine fleeing the war and we understand that the defense of the homeland also brings death and even in the 21st century we have to defend the independence of our country, honor and praise to the soldiers, eternal memory of the fallen, and already today the commander-in-chief of the armed forces of ukraine valery zuluzh, president volodymyr zelensky and himself congratulated the polish society with him, the polish troops did it in the language of the neighboring of the state in the name or in the armed forces of ukraine and his lordship congratulates him on the occasion of the mentor of the polish army valery was involved as well as the president

of ukraine expressed his gratitude to the polish armed forces forces for support and drew parallels between what is happening on the front line in ukraine with the events of more than a century ago and now as it happened two years ago against the bolshevik invasion, europe is saved by the common poles and ukrainians , general zaluzhny emphasized, and we will talk more about this with a traveling journalist and researcher of polish- ukrainian relations by dmytro antonyuk, who joined us live. i congratulate you, so tell me what is the significance of this holiday for poles and how important it is that president duda separately honored the soldiers unr on the eve of warsaw, for poles, this holiday has a great er one of the key meanings today in poland, a free day off, this shows that it is one of the most er important holidays, it also falls on the religious holiday of the assumption of the blessed

virgin mary it is well known that poland is a catholic country and catholic traditions are respected there, but the fact that today the president of poland, anzheli duda, is just in a huddle at the cemetery of ukrainian soldiers of the unr in warsaw -e is a huge huge symbol has e this gesture e it shows that poland is absolutely in solidarity with ukraine and this has never happened before. and so, two years ago we had 100 years ago, 100 years since the victory in warsaw. today is august 15, 1920. first of all , the polish army defeated the bolsheviks near

warsaw, but this victory was also thanks to the soldiers of the unr who defended warsaw from the south, defending together with the poles the zamość, and here in the warsaw area in the warsaw district volya there is this cemetery where the president used to come from poland is going to bow down to this grave and put his flowers and i repeat this, the polish president has never done this before and it works under an extremely extraordinary moment of our current polish-ukrainian relations he is now the key unity solidarity between the two ukrainian and polish societies in the face of russian aggression is unprecedented, but the history of relations between ukraine and poland, especially

after the miracle of two layers in the last century, was not always easy in short, it was not always definitely easy because there were among the ukrainians in the west mainly those who opposed pilsudskyi petliura in this union, but nevertheless they could in principle liberate kyiv once again in november 1920, as they did in may 20 year, but this did not happen for various reasons, including political ones. thanks for the answer. this was dmytro antonyuk, a traveler and researcher. exactly one year ago, the capital of afghanistan, kabul, came under the control of the taliban movement. today is a national holiday in the country, hundreds of fighters gathered in the center of the capital, they waved their black and white flags, shouted victory slogans , there are no women here, only men and boys in the media

write that the taliban even forces shops to close so that everyone can celebrate without exception , today's anniversary coincides with the deepening of the economic and humanitarian crisis when men can not find work to to feed their families and the lives of women and girls are subject to strict rules, including restrictions on education and employment, bbc correspondent les dusset, who was in kabul a year ago, returned there to film next report this is a man's world. afghanistan is a conservative country, but now the rules are set by the ultra-conservative taliban. opportunities previously open to women have closed. we met three women of different generations whose lives speak eloquently about their world
