warts and so on, no one could predict for sure, and unfortunately even we could not predict that the enemy would succeed, despite the fact that we were informed about the possible possible directions of the attack, it would be possible to do exactly that in those er-er in such terms and in those er- a few years ago, if even we understood, did people know that there would be a war, talk about the fact that the outskirts of kyiv would be able to leave, well, it is unlikely that anyone would be ready for this, and even few would have predicted that it could happen like this, of course, war involves losses and talk about the fact that these losses could have been smaller or larger if there had been people who were asked to be informed. now, unfortunately, we cannot, because someone, uh, predicted that the war could go exactly like this. and as it was then, according to the information of our main intelligence department, it was predicted that the enemy may launch a missile strike and throughout the territory of ukraine it was predicted that the enemy may launch a

large-scale invasion, but that he will go from the side of belarus and from the chernobyl zone , well, ukrainian intelligence does not have such information there were no partners, i understand exactly what they will send. one of the main blows was that we did not have such information in such a volume. well, i remember that when the possibility of a full-scale invasion began to be discussed in the media, there was such a map from the german publication bild . it was shown from which sides the attack could take place and there were, in particular, arrows from the side of belarus, is it correct? i understand that they were not ready for such a scenario. we started preparing for the scenario somewhere at the beginning of this year. well, you too. well, as a result, we see that we were not completely ready. well, in particular, mr. danilov, the secretary of the nbu, said in our interview that before the war, in principle, you know, well, no one ever before the war

despite the fact that how to insert the committee of national security and defense development was an explanation of the direction of the strikes and the fact that it will take place in february, i will tell you frankly that i do not believe it, my family was in the city of kharkiv until the last day and left only on february 24, when the shelling had already begun, it is clear, although i have to say that well, i am not sure that many of those who lost their lives, and well, indeed , we could agree with you, but this is already such a question of a really conventional way. if we talk about history, i i suggest that you move on with the question of how the war will unfold, in particular, the minister of defense, reznikov, in an interview with the voice of america, said that he does not see the war freezing, but the probable cooling of hostilities is such a term used a ie about the end of the war by the end of the year is no longer discussed,

why am i asking because this was specifically talked about a month ago by the head of the president's office, andriy yarmak , that it is necessary to end the war by winter, talk about the fact that we can end the war by winter, we still have opportunities because it depends on how the next few weeks will be. well, let's say until the end of september, how the events will unfold, how we will get weapons, and how we will use these weapons, so you rule out that by the end of this year, we can complete the hot phase the war in the territory that was occupied after february 24. well, it's all because of let's put it this way, i can't rule out such a possibility. i also gave a place and two places back to your colleagues in an interview . this year, and the most pessimistic one is the 24th year, i

talked about it a few months ago, and now i do not give up on my opinions, i think that it will be the most likely , subjective point, to end the war this year not big enough andriy yarmak, in particular, said that it is necessary to end the war before the onset of cold weather , because it is difficult to start a war in such conditions, but we obviously need to prepare for the cold weather, and as civilians, we see that the mayors of lviv and kyiv are already at least calling on the citizens to prepare for the cold winter for possible disruptions with electricity , even interruptions with water supply, and stock up on warm clothes, in particular, should the central government communicate this, or is it only self-government that should inform the residents in this way? well, it’s not time let's start already, well, first of all, the authorities and the leadership of ukraine, naftogaz, are doing everything to ensure that the price of gas does not continue to increase during the entire heating period, so that it is strong

. mr. klitschko said in an interview with a newspaper that some sabotages are possible and there will simply be no physical possibility to supply gas. well, that's exactly what i wanted to talk about: sabotage, shelling, the destruction of a thermal power plant, and so on, everything is in the normal course, but considering that the russian federation in the first days of the war, he is waging a terrorist war against us, and the method of terror includes the illumination of systems that ensure the vital activities of the civilian population. we cannot rule out that this will continue. will be destroyed some kind of thermal power plant or heat station that generates heat, then we must be prepared for this with regard to a counteroffensive in the south, mykhailo

podolyak said that reporting plans to counterattack in the south is a psychological operation, but at the same time, later in his address, the president urged not to report on military plans, do you see a contradiction, no contradictions, i didn't see, you know , the enemy should always not to have information about what to expect from our armed forces, because if the enemy is informed, then he, you, and they, therefore. it is effective and i misunderstood what mykhailo podolyak said. because i interpreted it that way, on the contrary, here are these messages. this is such a psychological operation to purposefully and possibly intimidate. i don't know the russian troops there, i made this up. so this is a complex, complex issue on the one hand. we are creating preconditions what kind of enemy is the probability of a contrast? and the counterparty itself will be when the enemy does not expect it. well, what is the point

of these fake announcements, because there are critics of such decisions if it is about contrasts inform then accordingly and we have seen that the russian troops are stationed not in the south and then it will really be more difficult to lead in contrasts and in particular that the head of the fund must be alive taras why do you say that in general if you do not report about this counteroffensive russian troops will be transferred there then they can't leave us here on their own , uh, you know, i wouldn't want to comment on uh, someone's statements in this case. i want to say that from the point of view of military art , the direction, place, and time should be as unexpected as possible strike and accordingly precisely in order to be expected as i am about it no and i and i as information will contribute to the fact that the counter strike was in an unexpected place and an unexpected time of course the deputy

minister of defense and not the painter reported actually continuing this topic that due to the alleged leak of secret information because of the interview, a case was opened against a military officer. the painter did not specify who it is about, but if you analyze the time of the statement, then both journalists and political scientists who spoke with someone agree in principle that it is probably about the general dmytro marchenko, who was in charge of the defense of the mykolaiv oblast , has now expanded his powers, and in this interview marchenko did not see anything that was not previously said by the central government, that is, it was not. well, i did not see. maybe you saw why, why, i cannot comment frankly, in this case, i will comment on whether it was the words that anna the painter had in mind in order to confirm or refute your thesis, i cannot uh, in any case, you know, a military case involves minimal information that can harm for the military, what is in the informational

official messages of the general staff of the command of the south, the command of the east, the operational zones, this is what the enemy should perceive , and so on. this is a matter of intelligence and counterintelligence in order to minimize any leak of objective reliable information which can be used against our defense. thank you very much for your comment . fedirvenislavskii, a member of the people's deputy of ukraine, a faction of the servant of the people, a journalist of ukrainian truth mykhailo tkach filmed that many ukrainian vip refugees were concentrated in monaco, monte carlo and nice, what he saw is in stark contrast to the fact that already in the sixth month, ukraine and ukrainians are experiencing a real war, now we will discuss the monaco battalion investigation with its author, journalist mykhailo tkach, but first a small excerpt from this investigation on the

public online radar marine trafic, we notice the yacht of the ukrainian oligarch, the fourth richest person in the country, konstantin zhivago , sailing here in port monaco from palma de mallorca where she came from the island of ibiza and here she is, a 65-meter yacht worth 70 million dollars, which has the name zed. in june, in a comment to forbes, zhivago said that the name of the yacht has nothing to do with the symbols of a full-scale russian invasion, but corresponds to the first letter of the surname of the living person in the english transliteration yacht the son-in-law does not enter the

port and stands near the shores of monaco for several days in september 2019. the state bureau of investigation declared him alive and wanted. since then, according to ukrainian pravda, he has not entered the country the oligarch is suspected of embezzling two and a half billion hryvnias from the depositors of his bank finance and credit a year ago the press service of the dbr reported that zhivago was announced as an international wanted oligarch at that time it was denied until now his whereabouts were unknown unknown until this evening according to

ukrainian pravda sources in political circles family the people's deputy from the banned party of the people's party of ukraine grigoriy surkis here on one of the most expensive shores of europe has been renting apartments in the five-star monte carlo bay hotel for the first time in the beginning of the full-scale invasion, the up reported that the surkis family left the country in two cars, the interlocutors of the up in the state border service reported that the surkis left without declaring cash at customs, although at the hungarian customs point they issued more than 17 and a half million dollars in cash, the businessmen then denied the information by publishing documents from the hungarian side, but these documents concern only the brothers and not the whole family, the

apartments in which, according to the sources of the up , the surkis stay are located on the second floor of this building and if you look at the instagram page of the daughter of hryhoriy surkis svitlana. she visited here regularly and in different years, according to the sources of the ue, the annual rent of such apartments in monte carlo bay costs about two million euros. contact us , the author of the investigation, journalist of ukrainian pravda mykhailo tkach mykhailo hello,

did we watch this excerpt, do they watch cnn and see what is happening in ukraine, that ukraine needs help, that ukraine needs support , and then they go outside and see, let's let's list who specifically signed up for this so-called monaco battalion, who did you see there, who can you know, our viewers, first of all, we have and the viewers must understand that we were there for several days and those who got into the lens of our camera. this is very, very small percentage although there are a lot of them, a very small percentage of those people who actually live there now, ah , we told about the brothers of the surkis family, we told about kostyantyn.

was responsible for the economy and it's so strange and symptomatic of how yaroslavskyi also got into our child yaroslavskyi's wife, who is resting in the carriers, although yaroslavskyi said at the beginning of march that he would sell the yacht and help in kharkiv and many others in mykhailo's car estates but i want to ask whether formally, you said simply about this anti-advertisement, yes, about the moral side of the issue, but formally, from a legal point of view, these deputies and business should inform society about the whereabouts of the representatives of the richest ukrainians, yes of the so-called elite, where are they now and what do they do? and finally, i want to ask, now ukraine is receiving help from the world, it is asking for an increase in this aid, and

based on this investigation, the richest, most influential people are now in monaco, and what kind of signal is this in general sends well, it is possible for those who are now making decisions about aid to ukraine. this definitely does not help us in the fight against russia, and it seems to me that at this time it would be possible to live a little more modestly, at least until the victory of mykhailo. and here you said that you were there for only a couple of days, are you planning to continue, so to speak, because we will continue to talk with us live, e.e., a member of the political party of the national movement , e.e. dmytro shashkin, congratulations good evening, from the writing it is clear that saakashvili wants to help ukraine in this difficult time wars, but what exactly can mikhail saakashvili do while in prison, and it is very difficult to help ukraine, so now it is very important to

do everything so that he can be transferred to ukraine or any country in europe, his health he is now in a very difficult situation, but regardless of this, he, as a citizen of ukraine, wants to make a huge contribution to the struggle that the ukrainian people are currently leading, which is being conducted not only for themselves and for the sake of themselves and for the sake of their country, but also advises all those countries that have suffered or may suffer from the russian federation of georgia. 20% of the territory is occupied by them. the country is asked for everyone for us well, you remembered that saakashvili really can't, that he was the president of georgia and is still a citizen of ukraine, this citizenship was first given to him by the president of ukraine, and petro poroshenko

later took it away. and the next president authorities zelensky returned him again but if speaking from a legal point of view, what can ukraine do in order to get saakashvili out of prison, and is kiev doing enough for this , or well, when we say yes to the political will saakashvili is released, no, kiev can't do anything here, well, we, saakashvili's allies, are very grateful to the president for his appeal, and to the grateful team of president zelenskyi for the help and support that they do not provide. no, but i am sure that with the people of ukraine, the consolidation of our friends in the united states of america in europe is possible, so that, first of all, mikhal saakashvili was transferred to one of the european countries or to

ukraine to continue the treatment, as i have already said, he has a very serious health condition and despite this, he will break through and rush to ukraine in order to help in order to use his huge experience, he was the first the president who fought with putin, he has great influence in the soviet countries, he is only in the rebel countries, i have great respect in the whole world, so i am absolutely sure that he has well, his presence now in ukraine will greatly help ukraine in the struggle, as i have already said, which she leads not only for her country, but also for all of us, eh, i wanted to eh, i would like to ask you to explain to our viewers, ah, the point is that saakashvili built a political career in ukraine, at least after because he regained his ukrainian citizenship, created his

political power here, and ran for parliament with it, that is, there were certain political ambitions for me, there were even some conversations about the fact that saakashvili could occupy uh, the position of the prime minister, i'm afraid of it he would make a mistake, but he clearly had political ambitions, and then he said that he was taking part in the parliamentary elections in georgia and what would have happened if, uh, your party would have won the majority, that is, it is possible to say that saakashvili's ukrainian campaign ended with and i do not agree with saakashvili, who for a long time emphasized that he does not apply for any state posts in georgia, he repeatedly emphasized that even his arrival in georgia would be a deliberate purpose in order for the processes the politicians who were in georgia were forced, but even so. he said that he did not want to hold any positions in georgia and that he would associate his

political career with ukraine. georgia is the highest state post in georgia, and he is the creator of this state, which is called georgia before it, georgia was a territory of political territory, he created it with his chest in 9 years, not just from scratch treason and with minus but it is like that neo emphasized there that he connects his political a-a his political future with ukraine and he repeatedly emphasized that he is a regional leader and he will help the holy countries that are fighting for independence are fighting with our common enemy from russia i would really like to ask about this if saakashvili were now in power in ukraine, and how exactly can he help

zelenskyi and the state? which he received unfortunately, this is a very difficult experience under the leadership of a country that is at war with russia. it was very helpful to ukraine, which hundreds of georgian volunteers are fighting together with ukrainians, again for the freedom of not only ukraine, but also georgia and other countries. well, now you see that the government of georgia is not very active supports ukraine, refuses to impose sanctions against russia, for example, at the same time, civil society supports ukrainians who go to protests with ukrainian flags, etc. how

did such a dichotomy turn out? which exists in general, and there is absolutely, absolutely, an abyss between the government and the state. the georgian people are in power. the whole georgian people fully support ukraine. everything is in the struggle and there is no need to explain to anyone what the ukrainians are fighting for . positions, and the refugees who came to georgia, the citizens of ukraine who came to georgia, they can clearly see the sentiments of ordinary georgians, different georgians, and to them

, because we are unfortunately unfortunate. unfortunately, in 2008, they suffered what ukraine is suffering now, but the two states are very close historically, so we will end the broadcast. saakashvili's detention is parallelizing the society of georgia, and is it absolutely, absolutely false oblinienie est polnaya complete nonsense that is being presented to him once again shows that an independent judicial system exists in georgia thank you for forgiving on the air, with us, with us, there was a member of the political party of the national movement, the party in georgia, dmytro dmytro shashkin, on this svoboda life

concludes the field for today, we will be back tomorrow, i invite you to subscribe to the radio svoboda page in social media networks and also like this broadcast so that more people can see it. goodbye, my congratulations to everyone who is with us. the 175th day of the full-scale russian-ukrainian war continues, so next is operational information from the general staff. the enemy tried to break through the defense of our troops on in the kharkiv and slavyansk directions, however, he did not succeed and withdrew, reports the general staff of the armed forces of ukraine, with stormy actions, the russians unsuccessfully tried to improve the tactical position in the kramatorsk bakhmut and south-buzka

directions. in the direction of the settlement of opytne, the interventionists were also partially successful in the direction of novomykhailivka. today at noon, the russians shelled the village in
