but the darkness of people and friends and not friends and deputies of different levels that we know about traveled the first day and they left without hundreds of millions, you understand. therefore, it is obvious that these are correct things that are correct in a certain sense psychological psychological or could you call things your own there will be a war, it is obvious that it would be possible yes, but the question of our preparation well, it was the way it was, it was the way it was in the 14th year and we defended ukraine as much as we could, obviously there were many traitors, these traitors the exiles, the exiles, the fifth column, and the direct direct enemy, who had their own agency, who manifested themselves in the tomos of the law enforcement agencies and will show themselves again, who were preparing to surrender and we understand now why is kherson so easy, why did other territories say so easily, then these questions are possible we will once again say that we will answer them as long as this terrible war lasts, in which today we have shelling of kharkiv, zelenskyi

erdogan and guterres in lviv, and not only we talk about it in today's bbc news ukraine program, there is olga palamaryuk, i congratulate you on the most tragic night, the russians shelled kharkiv, destroyed residential buildings, there are dead and wounded, zelensky erdogan in lviv, will new peace talks begin and is russia preparing for a massive missile attack on ukraine, is there a chance to prevent kharkiv under fire last night, russia launched massive strikes on in kharkiv oblast, one of the rockets hit a house in the saltiv district under

rubble. according to the authorities, 10 people died in the dormitory. according to one version, people with hearing impairments lived in the dormitory. they could not have heard the alarm signal under in the morning, according to the local authorities, russia launched 8 more rockets, they hit residential buildings and infrastructure objects in the slobid district of kharkiv, a tram depot was hit, a repair shop and a dormitory were damaged there, kharkiv residents call this night the most tragic since the beginning of the war, well, the shelling of kharkiv was reacted to in the office the president 's advisor to the head of the department, mykhailo podolyak, said that russia is acetyu drinking blood, turning kharkiv into ruins, and he called the daily shelling terror, and he joins me from kharkiv journalist hanna silaeva, from whom we hope to learn the latest news. ani knows that search operations are being conducted in the city based on experience. what is known at the moment? was it possible to save the people from under the rubble?

greetings from kharkov. rockets hit kharkov twice in the last day. the first strike was after nine in the evening . yesterday it was a squadron, as police experts later found out, they even established the date of manufacture of the missile - it is the year 2020 and the second series of strikes was already at dawn at half past five in the morning and these were s3 missiles, the same anti-aircraft missiles defenses that russia uses for strikes on ground targets and the scandal hit a residential building, it is called a dormitory. it is actually a former factory dormitory . the room where the rocket hit, and in particular

, the parents also died, there is no reliable data on how many people there are, or how many people may still remain under the rubble , that is why the rescue work does not stop and the rubble is still being dismantled and the second strike from the 300 rocket hit the dormitory of the transport company of the tram depot, this is a large four-story building, part of it was destroyed , according to the calculations of the people who live in the building, at least 50 rooms, and the rest of this building is probably not suitable for living, died there four people, among them an eleven-year-old boy, and 20 two, 20 adults and two children, were injured, and 9 of these 22 people were found by the rescuers and actually freed from the rubble. and here, too, there are no

there is an average number of reliable information about the people under the rubble, which could be three, so the work is also not stopped. ani, well, you literally just said that about the fact that a lot of people were actually left without a roof over their heads, and it is already known whether it is possible for the local authorities to provide them with temporary housing, yes at least several families in one house and dozens of people in another need housing were left without a roof over their heads, some of them found shelter with their friends, acquaintances and relatives, and some of them the city offers to settle in hostels in hostels, unfortunately, this is our current practice in kharkiv, residential buildings are destroyed every day as a result of shelling. and indeed, these were the most terrible blows of the mayor of kharkiv, terekhovna zuba, in the first

full -scale invasion. take care, it was a journalist from kharkiv, hanna silaeva, and a step towards peace or talks without a concrete result. today in lviv, zelenskyi met with the president of turkey erdogan and the secretary general of guterish the day before, zelensky said his goal was to work on achieving the results that ukraine needs, the un secretary general arrived in ukraine the day before, and the president of turkey flew out in the morning during the hotelier's previous visit to kyiv, russia fired missiles at the capital of ukraine, and during the current visit, russia continues to bombard the east with a devastating missile strike for the second time suffered kharkiv, despite such a backlash, dogan declared that he believes that the war in ukraine will end at the negotiating table. therefore, initially there were bilateral meetings with

zelensky spoke about the grain initiative and the situation in the u.n., for example, a tripartite meeting with the participation of all politicians, and the meeting was observed by my colleague vitaly chervonenko, he is live from lviv, so he is in italy. hello. what are the main conclusions you can make, or is there a chance to find a solution there, for example, zaporizhzhia npp i know that this was one of the main issues and is there any hope of bringing russia to the negotiating table, so to speak, well, there were four main topics - these are the zaporizhia nuclear power plant, peace talks, prisoner exchange talks, and grain and on all four issues, there was some progress. everyone agreed that it is necessary to work deeper, there should be more ships, more ukrainian grain should be exported, about the exchange of prisoners, and in general, the supervision of captives of the hryantsev, kulon said that

a certain mission would be created, headed by the brazilian general santos cruz, who is which should have access to the deer park where the azov people died to other similar places in order not to be biased and to follow what is happening there, well, the main problem is that russia agrees to this zaporizhia nuclear power plant also everyone agreed that it is worth sending the iaea mission there and that the most important thing, as the un secretary general emphasized, is that the mission should go from kyiv and not from the territory occupied by russia, and this is also such an important point regarding the peace. during the press conference of the three politicians, zelensky first spoke, and even before erdogan spoke about it, the president of ukraine said, erdogan said that the success of the negotiations in istanbul supposedly opens a certain window for further peace negotiations with

this is what zelensky said to russia about the end of the war: this is a window for russian weapons, and if russia wanted peace, it would not have shelled ukrainian cities and killed people, and he especially emphasized that first russia should leave ukraine and withdraw its troops, and then i would said zelenskyi will come later. that is, it was possible to understand that zelenskyi is very skeptical about the negotiations and then a little later erdogan spoke and he already detailed his proposals that it is necessary to use the achievements of istanbul in order to start these negotiations and it was clear that such a discussion at the press conference was in absentia, which could mean that during the negotiations there was such a heated discussion. well, since the minister of foreign affairs of ukraine, dmytro kuleba, during the negotiations, he turned on facebook there and told us that no one does not encourage negotiations

, do not encourage treason, we can conclude that progress on peace negotiations is not worth expecting yet, and ukraine stands by its position that there is nothing to talk about with russia now until it withdraws its troops, and regarding the zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, which is being followed by the whole world, is indeed progress, maybe a mission will go there, maybe from kyiv, but for this, too, russia's consent is needed, as erdoğan summarized at the end, all the issues we discussed today we will discuss further with russia and with president putin , that is, well putin will have the last word on all today's agreements . champ politicians met today in lviv, and meanwhile the situation around the zaporizhia nuclear power plant is escalating. russia scares that the

ukrainian armed forces are allegedly preparing some kind of provocation. they even publish a diagram of expected strikes and a map of the spread of radiation pollution . the russians themselves are shelling ukraine is the world, they consistently demand that russia stop nuclear blackmail, and the head of the megate even ready to personally lead a delegation to the npp, the arrival of the station shop is also demanded in kyiv and at the un level, the problem is still in the green light from russia, at the same time, the permanent representative of ukraine to international organizations in vienna, yevhen tsymbalyuk, clarified in an interview with the bbc that the mission itself may not be enough, we need mishin the presence of an international mission at the head of the competition, but even this is not enough, the best option is to withdraw russian troops, equipment and weapons and ensure that ukraine takes over full control of the station, this is reflected in the documents adopted

by the board of directors of makht and this is the best option because so many times we have witnessed when the russians say one thing and do another or do something so that it is better and do not touch that they will not create a demilitarized zone around the gas station, this is the statement of the representative of the russian foreign ministry, ivan nechaev, even more so in the kremlin threatens to stop the nuclear power plant . energoatommi reacted to this statement. they are convinced that the stoppage of work will bring the scenario of a radiation disaster closer. meanwhile, scientists of the ukrainian hydrometeorological institute modeled the process of radiation propagation in the event of an accident, according to calculations, radioactive dust can partially affect even belarus, poland and the baltic countries, and about what is happening now in zaporizhzhia, a few kilometers from the station , bbc correspondent james water house, a lot

of the landscape of ukraine, wide areas of industry, but everything is still under threat we fly to see prepare for the worst case scenario if you want to get somewhere fast these days here's how to do it we fly very low to stay out of range of russian missiles planes get a real idea of ​​how big this country zaporizhzhia is preparing for a crisis that some fear may be more serious than the chernobyl nuclear disaster, the worst in history, the power plant is located further south under russian control since the beginning of march, and the management says that the situation is approaching a critical situation, the situation has changed dramatically and of course it worries us, that is why we are here where we created this group and we are in constant contact with it, the city of energodar

recently came under heavy shelling, ukraine and russia blames each other. elena just escaped from there with her children. there were many more explosions and it became much more dangerous to stay there. i didn't want to leave home and when it became unbearable, there was no other choice but calls to grant access to the station by an international inspector. nato added its voice, and since ukraine is now not able to dislodge the russians from there. it is preparing for the worst if it comes to that. russia is concentrating near the borders with ukraine and in the occupied territories a large number of transport launch containers with missiles up to the s-300, the strategic communications department of the armed forces of ukraine warned about this according to stradkov at the beginning of august from ulan, where an echelon with ammunition in a total of 28 wagons left for the border, the weapons

will arrive on the 20th of august, in addition, by the middle of this month from the ammunition warehouse of the russian over 120 containers with missiles for the s-300 complex were seized, and missiles continue to be stockpiled in the belarusian zabryak, the number of containers already exceeds 60 units, it is also known that more than 400 launch containers for the s300 were stored in the dzhankoya area. thus, the ustrada armed forces conclude that the threat of massive shelling of the territory of ukraine with at least s-300 missiles is obvious, and taking into account the fact that new echelons with weapons will arrive there by the 20th. they assume that they are going to release them by august 24 actually, when ukraine will celebrate independence day and i will be joined by my colleague viktoria shugan vito from kyiv, so the latest news.

we can say about how the ukrainian authorities are preparing for them and what is known in general, whether this is not an attempt by the russians to raise the stakes before something, which is possible is not known publicly, first of all, this question should be addressed to the command of the dry air forces of ukraine, and i will remind you that a few days ago they assured that the air forces ukrainians are ready to repel russian attacks 24/7 and are always in a state of full readiness for this, they reminded that the threat of missile attacks in principle has not disappeared and this is the main information we have from open sources besides, the government informs the population about when the threat increases, such as this very message from the anti-terrorist armed forces that you just quoted, plus , for example, when the threat of shelling increases somewhere, the government develops evacuation mechanisms, for example

, a week ago, we heard from the authorities of zaporizhzhia as well as from the ministry of internal affairs that in the event of a radioactive hazard in zaporizhzhia, they are considering and creating plans to evacuate the population, and just a few days ago, the head of e-e in all of zaporizhia reminded that these plans are now being reviewed, i.e., these are the ones preparation, actually, if we talked, i guess the last thing worth noting about this topic is the issue of hits on russian warehouses with ammunition, and we know about this not so much, but literally today, the same strategist raised the issue of those of missiles that were stored in dzhankoya, here i am quoting e-e it is known that in the dzhankoya area, about 440 transport-launch containers for the s-300 air defense system were stored, and after the incident in dzhankoya, it is still difficult to say whether these

transport-launch containers were completely destroyed partly or not at all, that is, this is the information we have about what ukraine can do to protect itself from such missile attacks . what cities and regions are we looking at and in what time period, because subjective observations say that the closer people are to the recent shelling, the more acutely they react to such reports. well, for example , when russian missiles hit the vinnytsia in my chats of citizens from the suburbs of kyiv , people quickly became active and reacted more sharply to messages about air raids compared to how it would have been a week before, and there you can now see, for example, before autumn

, an advertisement for a kindergarten in which there is a bomb shelter , that is, for example such a factor is already becoming decisive for parents who are in kyiv or in the suburbs, on the other hand, if you look at the regions of ukraine that are under shelling every day and night, then of course there will be different reactions and like me i recently heard in mykolaiv that she will quote a woman who said that on the first night, i am already cooking, now something will happen. oh, thank you vito . of new bilateral military commitments, actually for the first time since the invasion of russia in february, on a day that emphasizes similar military aid to ukraine is decreasing.

ukraine's allies met last week. last week, the sum of €1.5 billion in commitments for military aid to the ukrainian military was much less than they managed to collect at previous conferences, and i am joined by the professor of the kyiv institute of international relations, yuriy i poluneev. i congratulate you, mr. yuriy, actually. explain what happened or is it really possible to conclude that defense reduces military support for ukraine? i think it is impossible to make such a definitive conclusion now, but it is necessary to very, very seriously observe this trend at the beginning of the war. that is in almost six months, ukraine received extremely high volumes of military aid, practically unprecedented, but this aid began to decrease, and here there are certain reasons that we can explain, first of all, the west and nato, in particular, are afraid

of the escalation of the further escalation of the conflict on the part of russia, even possibly with the use of tactical nuclear weapons secondly, governments in general and nato member countries are looking at their arsenals. they have limited arsenals and today they cannot reduce these arsenals as ammunition weapons below a certain level, thirdly, there is already certain fatigue from the ukrainian war in ukraine, in that among the population it is now being transferred to the western population, it is accepted by the problems of growth, a sharp rise in prices, not born, not, not for the energy of high, unprecedentedly high inflation , the perspective of the economic recession and under these conditions, western governments are beginning to

reconsider their positions and slow down this aid. is it possible to do something other than on this basis, or can we conclude that the west is abandoning us conditionally? great britain and other allies of ukraine, such as poland and the scandinavian countries, are doing everything to support me at a high level of this assistance, but so far they have not managed to convey the key message that the war in ukraine and its outcome are final, that is, the victory of ukraine is extremely critically and vitally important for the west. firstly, in the event of the defeat of ukraine, putin is not going to stop only at ukraine, this is already an absolutely known fact , secondly, the authoritarian regimes of china and others are very carefully watching the reaction of nato countries

on grace against ukraine in order to draw certain lessons from this to what extent nato is ready to respond to any situations of this kind , and the final conclusion that can be drawn is that in the event that, god forbid, russia wins this war, it will mean a direct threat to the democratic system , democratic civilizations in the world, this is the key message. it seems to me that we are now at the forefront of an information campaign of an information war because we must now help our allies america, great britain, first of all, by whatever suspicions or possible gossip about the fact that in ukraine, er, this aid is being used and

ineffective, that it is not effective there, god forbid, more weapons are being boiled down and getting into some third countries, we need a basis for these gossips, it is absolutely not possible to fulfill it, secondly, we need to form an information campaign together with key allies in order to convey this message to those countries. by the way, those who are sitting, you know, when they are sitting on two chairs , these are well-known countries of europe of the european union, which are now and in the past and are currently making attempts there reconciliation and so on without understanding that there cannot be any reconciliation with the aggressor a priori because he has completely different strategic tasks and other the goal is to create a new world order that will be dictated by such countries russia and other authoritarian regimes thank you thank you for the

conversation and thank you for taking the time to join the broadcast. it was professor yuriy poloniev of the kyiv institute of international relations. meanwhile, russia continues to destroy ukrainian cities since the beginning of the full-scale russian invasion of ukraine. at least 15,000 high-rise buildings were damaged, and almost 116,000 private houses. such data were made public at the kyiv school of economics. more than half a million ukrainians lost their roofs, and direct losses from destroyed housing amount to at least 48 billion dollars, and this amount is increasing every day of the war. what should people who have lost do? everything, how to act in this case, who to turn to for help about this and not only we will ask the bbc correspondent halyna korba, she is joining us, so, galya, congratulations, you researched this topic. so first of all, tell me what is the compensation mechanism for lost housing, or has a state program to support the population already been developed, and

the actual problem is that there is still no possibility to receive compensation directly if the housing was destroyed, but it is already possible to simply declare losses, i.e. if the accounting of destroyed housing continues, it can be done remotely through action, for example, or directly physically submit an application to the center for providing administrative services to a notary or to local authorities self-government, we talked to ukrainians who have gone through this path, they claim that the most effective way is to apply directly to local self-government bodies , and this is the best way to get quick feedback and infection is to have a special the commission conducted an accounting, looked at whether it is possible to live in this house or whether it is subject to demolition, and

then a corresponding act is drawn up, data is entered into a special state register, and a person can already expect when some funds will appear and will it be possible to receive compensation well, if the house is destroyed, it is more or less clear, then what about the damage, is it possible to compensate for example repair work or payments for construction materials, and the situation with the damage to the house is also not easy at the moment because there are state programs er, which help to finance certain repair works, but they are still very few in number, and it is very difficult to get compensation, and it is still for very, very specific niche things, for example, there is only replacement of windows, only repairs roof, but quite often there are houses that can be repaired and live in them now. and if you wait for compensation, then it can last quite a long time. well, it can take a

long time, so experts and local authorities advise you to do such repairs on your own . there is a possibility but before that, it is necessary to go through the same procedure to apply to the relevant bodies of the state government, that is , to draw up the appropriate act, to register it all, to have photos and videos of the house before the repairs were made there, then you can make repairs on your own, but be sure to collect all the receipts if any construction services were provided , and the documents must also be drawn up in a certain way, which is all. well, then it will be possible to collect and submit the same to the authorities and compensate when there are already funds and the order of payments. and i just want to add that galina's material can be read on our bbc.ua website there as well. by the way, there is a lot of other important

analysis and a few words not about this saturday's war in saudi arabia, ukrainian boxers oleksandr usyk will meet the briton anthony joshua, the video of which attracted the attention of the whole world, and usyk has already traditionally staged a performance during the so -called duel of glances, the boxer appeared in front of the cameras in national ukrainian clothing and with a cossack herring on his head, and after the battle of glances, he sang the ukrainian folk song oy u luzi red viburnum later the boxer commented on it like this i am wearing the national dress of the cossacks of warriors the war in ukraine adds motivation and we our glory ukraine hey hey you guess shame shame and that's all for today, look for more news on our website
