and it turned out for me that the enemy approached, we did not expect at all that he would come so close because there were moments of coordination with adjacent units and you approached literally 10 meters away and i had to shoot with pistol at him. here we entered into battle with them, and we were hit by one settlement. this city was peaceful, starting from january 25, 2015, after the shelling in the east. ah, i was very afraid, uh, we helped them as much as we could and before the search, they tried to evacuate them to safer places, but there were very few safe places in mariupol, and due to the amount of shelling, i hear

their interception. in fact, well, a package from gradov in uh, he doesn’t care uh, about accuracy, he just destroys uh, a square, and everything, ah, people, if you take pobedy avenue, i was on the left bank of mariupol, uh, how did people go to the store in at one point, they died just like that, corpses were lying on their streets there were hundreds of them, they didn't just destroy entire districts , yes, on the 24th, i was wounded, and we were carrying out a tank breakthrough to tankov's platoon, and two tanks managed to damage the third tank, and i knew that a helicopter was flying at us , there was a moment when he dropped three crates uh, with ammunition, they fell into the devil of the city , that is, we picked them up, everything was fine well, i thought that they don't fly like that, they just

fly up and drop off and well, that's it, and then when i was already wounded, i was already lying there after the operation eh one of the watermen came up to me and said my mouth i'm talking to you today. well, i'm evacuating and it's good for me . i'll somehow try to find the strength to return, even though he's sitting on the radio station for something like five o'clock in the morning. they started loading us onto a stretcher . and the doctor said, try it yourself, like a flattering link, i started to fall on a stretcher myself. well, in general, i fell on them like an easy one . after all, it's march it was cold enough. so they took us out of the bunker upstairs and put us in the kras. well, as they put us down, they put us

around children. so they took us to the evacuation point. well, we alternated there, first to one point, we waited, then to the second point, we stood and waited until we heard the sound of helicopters that attracted us. while we were driving like that, guys, eight air bombs fell there in 100 m thick meters, we just arrived there, there was a moment when we arrived, i turned out to be lying with my head towards the exit from the body and i see that we pass for 10 seconds, literally a shorter place somewhere roads, we think they have arrived. bach break, in short, the bomb was cured. i was cured in april, may, in may, at the beginning of may. i went through rehabilitation. i went on a monthly vacation. i have fully recovered. i have already started to walk normally

. er, i wanted er to serve in honor, but since childhood i considered such an option as the foreign legion, but without the fact that the war had started in our country, i simply could not afford to leave the country and, as it were, serve in our er, armed forces and protect our land, our war of independence began precisely in the 14th year, until this moment, we were just under the same occupation as we were all this time, just all the seam to the fact that sooner or later we would become some kind of belarus. but i don't think that the ukrainian people can. well, let it be, we will resist to the end before a full-scale war. chancellor of germany olafsholz assured russian president putin that ukraine will not join nato in the next 30 years. about this scholtz himself said in response to the question why

nato allegedly did not take into account russia's interests in security matters with russia's invasion of ukraine, scholtz added that nato was never a threat to russia, and putin decided to attack because of the absurd ideas that ukraine and belarus should not be separate states, let me remind you that before the full-scale invasion of ukraine, russia held several rounds of negotiations with nato, the eu, and the united states to force the west to legally guarantee that nato would not expand or indeed that nato would expand putin is worried about this, let's talk about it further with taras zoftenko, an expert on national security issues, candidate of political sciences good evening good evening russian president vladimir putin called the reason for the invasion of ukraine the prevention of ukraine's membership in nato, but it turns out that on the eve of the invasion, german chancellor olafsholtz assured putin that ukraine would not be nato yet at least 30 years, that's what this shows how to understand it, because both in ukraine and in the west, probably first of all, in the

west, first of all, it is necessary to remember that in fact, this is the opinion of putin's thesis that ukraine, as a member of nato, is not a potential but, in principle, a real threat to the security of the russian federation. this is actually only part of the equation. this is only part of the logic of putin's regime, which he actually justifies . is this aggressive war that he is waging against the ukrainian state, because if we recall the december ultimatum that the russian leadership gave to the north atlantic treaty organization and, in principle, the collective action as they call it, it is not the expansion of nato was only one of the components of this ultimatum, and in fact it was about what the deputy minister of foreign affairs of the russian federation ryabkov said that nato should collect manatki and get to the

borders of 1997 in principle. there was an ultimatum which, in principle, was partially impossible to fulfill here. it was a russian game that what we are asking for, from the very beginning, is absolutely not realistic, but we get, well, by and large, what we want from the other side - this is in principle well, let's say that was the argument that by default neither the collective western nato could accept, therefore, in principle, what the chancellor of germany is talking about, well, this is actually only that part of the ultimatum, about which both the alliance and the collective event were ready to speak. well and here the main thought and the main context of all this is actually the speaker himself so who voices this version of the conversation with putin so it is not for nothing that the chancellor of the federal republic of germany is, in principle, germany was one of the countries that was primarily interested in somehow settling this situation between russia and ukraine. in

my opinion, the main idea and main idea here is that germany, in principle, has always positioned itself as a country that, out of all other western countries, is the best mediator, the best mediator between the collective action and russia because of the fact that, well, if for certain political and economic reasons, germany and german politicians understand better, so to speak, russia better understood by russian leaders well, accordingly, they can to conduct this dialogue, and that is why it is the german leaders, and not only such odious ones as merkel or schröder. yes, but in principle, german politicians, on their part, tried to do their best to smooth out this situation and, accordingly, voice it to the russian to the leader, at least those things that could be voiced within the framework of this western policy, because it is clear that he could not agree to something and, in principle, could not even discuss the second side of the ultimatum

that nato should enter the border from 1997 year, but at least the fact that ukrainians, the issue of ukraine's membership in nato is an issue that is not on the agenda there for the next few years, this was exactly the argument that, in principle, german politicians could afford to voice in conversations with russians with the russian leadership. well, that's exactly what they did well, what do you think? actually, putin wanted ukraine to cooperate less with nato, at least he articulated this publicly, but now we see that among ukrainians, 71% of ukrainians support membership in nato is the results of a poll, er, miss . well, what can be said about it, that putin did not realize, er, so to speak, the consequences of his actions. does it not bother him much now? actually , putin, in principle, on the one hand, he does not could not seriously count on the fact that the tomato that he announced to nato and the countries of the west would be

fulfilled, and on the other hand, in principle, putin, well, if he clearly wanted this war, and here the question of the ultimatum is the question of the fact that it later turned into one of the formal reasons about which again very much they quickly forgot that because well, we see that now the russian leadership is simply juggling with different versions and different reasons for why this war was necessary for the russian federation . more well, actually, putin was counting on this first of all, but uh, well, as if his main strategy was to split the unity of the west, first of all, this also started during the trump presidency, uh, the russian political leadership, the russian special services did everything for that to kill, so to speak, the border between the united states and western europe in order to break, well, at least politically this unity and this union, we actually through our economic

projects through the influence of the special services and so on russian federation also tried to destroy the unity of western european countries, well, if the issues of the northern stream-2 were also used for this, well, in parallel with all the ultimatums that the russian leadership issued to nato, there were a lot of other processes in politics and the economy which, well, first of all, again, were aimed at ensuring that there was no unity in the western world regarding, well, first of all, the vision of ukraine as part of this western world, as part of the political and security alliances of this western world we are actually in contrast with this lack of unity, here are these ultimatums and threats of putin, they are clearly you. well, they were perceived as a way out of this dad's situation, yes, as russians also like to talk like that, than in the days of war. so, actually, it is more likely than anything a strategic calculation by putin

was exactly for that, but it didn't work, and first of all, this calculation was broken by the ukrainian state and the ukrainian people were broken by their resistance, which , in principle, became the factor behind its decision, even in spite of all its disunity, he simply could no longer ignore it and here already the larger western countries , including germany, obviously, not without a great desire to help ukraine as much as possible in this war, but simply german leaders have no way out because, well, if they simply cannot ignore this reality of what is the ukrainian people and the ukrainian army are so effectively resisting such an absolutely barbaric and savage gardnerian war on the part of the russian federation. and is there a danger that you mentioned that it was not putin who broke the resistance of the armed forces of ukraine? in ukraine, the kremlin can now focus its attention on the absorption of belarus. well, we see that it is already happening in a

certain sense. in the belarusian direction, so to speak. well, if we talk about belarus, then in principle , only political decorations remained there , because in principle, at least a year before the beginning of this full-scale invasion, the russian leadership did everything to ensure that belarus, at least in the indefinite sense, became as much as possible without losing this decorative , so to speak, independence has become part of the unbroken apparatus of the russian federation. so that conditionally there is no longer, so to speak, the armed forces of the republic of belarus, and we were talking about the maximum integration of the air defense systems of the air forces there and so on, yes. that is , there was even talk of placing russian tactical nuclear weapons on the territory of belarus, well, if a separate er, in general, a separate

direction of russian policy, it is also if it is directed primarily against the west against nato, and well, this was one of the steps and there is potentially pressure on the er west on the western alliances, so on the european union to nato and so on. well, actually , this protracted war is protracted for putin, first of all, taking into account his plans for a blitzkrieg and everything else . this political declaration, unfortunately, as of today, this is the subjectivity of belarus as a state, because we understand that, in principle, neither in the security policy nor in the foreign policy, this subjectivity no longer exists. so it may remain somewhere on some such er tactical levels and within the country, yes, at the level of internal politics, there are some decisions that concern the internal economy, so to speak, yes , the republic of belarus, but by and large, in

the principle of this subjectivity, we do not see, we just see symbolism. there are state symbols, the territory, and it seems to me that, first of all, from the point of view of russian regional interests, this war will be used by the kremlin in order to clean up all these moments as much as possible and, well, somehow, call it all there conditionally soviet union 2:0 thank you very much for your comment taras zhoftenko, an expert in national security problems, candidate of political sciences, 9,000 ukrainian servicemen have died since the beginning of the russian invasion. these data were announced by the commander-in-chief of the armed forces of ukraine, valery zaluzhnyi, i will remind you earlier the minister of defense of ukraine oleksiy reznikov and the president of ukraine volodymyr zelenskyi said that the armed forces of ukraine are suffering heavy losses due to the lack of western weapons, but over time these spacers have accelerated, now the ukrainian army is already

for more than a month, it has been using foreign weapons in the donbass and against the russian army in the war. artillerists used to fight on soviet equipment, and now they have something to compare with. at the same time, they say that on the front lines they have more opportunities and the support of these machines is already felt at the front as they fight . ukrainians are armed with foreign weapons, see the video of radio svoboda, this is a 2,000 -round tank-killer, it is designed to suppress, it is counter-battery strikes, you can make it stop , you can attack it, it is a very good machine that works herself well, she needs good good care in order for her to be able to work alone, she does

everything herself eh, the personnel is always safe because there is a good election e in order to preserve the life and health of the personnel and combat work is carried out not it takes a lot of time, i.e. 3-5 minutes, you can complete several goals and hide in order to save the lives and health of the personnel again,

if everything is identical, these machines are more modern and they are easier in operation so what there are many new innovations in these machines that are in our machines. even more flat if everything is automated and everything is done so that there is less load on the south crew. here is more done for everything for automation to work in order poland and we will film how fighters perform combat tasks on polish howitzers the crabs

are easy to work with, here they have simplified the work of the attendants as much as possible , because the attendants only operate the remote control and do not take the projectile manually, here we have a tray, it lies down, the buttons are pressed as much as possible simplified the task, plus here it is very fast charging, uh, if you compare it with the zelensky equipment, then everything needs to be much faster here, from here here we have a conveyor . service staff, when i give the order to load, it drives out and pushes the projectile there, that is, nitrogen is pumped in, and it pushes it there, it is pushed in only manually, only gunpowder

is more precisely. that is, six shells were fired one at a time, and new installations were immediately installed there, and six more shells were fired immediately with a little sculpture there

. talks about the drift of political views of the strongest boxer in the world oleksandr usyk this weekend usyk defended the championship title of the strongest boxer - he is a super heavyweight on the planet, keeping his belts according to the versions of wpaw.bo ibaw he ran away in the fight of the british anthony joshua to saudi arabia, 35-year-old oleksandr usyk himself was born in the crimea, but he adopted a cossack image and patriotic views by successfully boxing in the rings, but a few years ago he did not confidently answer the question of whose crimea, saying that the crimea is god's usyk also previously defended the affiliation of the kiev-pechers lavra to the moscow patriarchate, but first the aggression of russia usyk went on the defensive and strongly condemned moscow's war against ukraine, and before the boxing matches with joshua, he dressed up as a cossack and sang oh in the meadow red viburnum red viburnum

let's go and we will honor ukraine hey hey hey it's interesting that many politicians, public figures and cultural figures have experienced a similar rebirth, what are we doing with them, how does war affect people's views and transformation, let's talk about it later with us philosopher and writer volodymyr yarmolenko mr. yarmolenko good evening good evening how do you like it ? here is this story with the image of a cossack, which antenna was there first, then he stopped using it, then he started again . well, this is a changing position. well, many

ukrainians are experiencing this awakening from the heavy sleep of the colonial russian world, and everyone has their own path: some go through it quickly, some go through it slowly. it takes a certain amount of time, it is important that we get our roots, we pull them out from the ground and we find our tradition again in different ways, or these changes, so to speak, are not reversible if we say about those who did not have a clear position until february 24. i hope it is difficult for me to imagine people in kharkiv, for example, who live under shelling every night and continue to love russian peace. it seems to me that if there are such people, then it is some kind

of perversion, it is difficult to love those who commits violence against you, against your people, it is difficult to love those who protect russian-speaking people and kill them, so it seems to me that it is inevitable, this is a path that one way or another each of us must go, those who may have started their lives in russian-speaking environments or in in the milieu of russian culture, many of us are like that , many of the ukrainians are like that, and i will repeat myself once again. it seems to me that many people sooner or later go through this path , and this war only accelerates this path. switch to ukrainian support the armed forces of ukraine because actually now it has already become such a necessary element of a pr campaign of some marketing strategies it has already become elementary monetary then support the armed forces of ukraine or is it not

is the problem and is it well normal and well, it should be so after all, hypocrisy is everywhere, well, it’s obvious that many bad things are done and will be done under the slogan of some such facade patriotism, you have to look at the judgment of a person and his motivation on her further actions, but if ukrainians are ukrainians, ukraine becomes fashionable, if speaking ukrainian becomes fashionable, being a cossack becomes fashionable, then this is great, it means that ukrainian culture is doing what we have been talking about for many years, that it was too limited in some way the ghetto of the intelligentsia, the paradox is that ukrainian culture in recent decades has been more of a literal culture, not a peasant culture as the russians tried to impose on us. and it is precisely the culture of the

educated layer of people that is now spreading to the masses, and this is wonderful. we also see that politicians have become very pro-ukrainian those who were traditionally considered pro-russian, or not too pro-ukrainian, if i may say so correctly , among them, for example, oleksandr vilkul in kryvyi rih, igor terekhov in kharkiv, and gennadiy trukhanov in odesa. is it possible to welcome this trend in politics and will it become such an intelligentsia for these people who should probably be held accountable for their actions? we need to look at their actions. i am very interested in how kharkiv will become ukrainianized because er, i was in kharkiv a week ago, this is a beautiful, powerful, brave city, kharkiv, reinforced concrete, this image is very popular now, the image of such t-shirts with the kharkiv state industry, but the urban spaces of kharkiv are

, uh, because of the actions of the local government of kernes terekhov they still remain largely soviet , and this urban space from the names of beautiful artists, writers, artists who worked in kharkiv to the knowledge of their history by the people of kharkiv, how much this space will be ukrainized, the streets will be called by these names and not by the names of soviet the heroes of the so -called or russian writers depends a lot on this odessa is the same odessa odesa space he uh he is so very still russian imperial in my opinion eh although i am just i would like to remind the audience that there are ongoing discussions about the dismantling of the faithful monument to catherine ii in odesa, and in particular, the last thing i know is that the mayor is still in favor of keeping

it, unfortunately, there is little time left but i really want to ask you in time to ask about the scandal in which the creative agency ganga and the ministry of culture lost, i will explain to the audience that in cooperation with the ministry, the agency ganga launched a company for independence day and offered their gesture, which should symbolize a trident. well, social networks also exploded. due to the obscene meaning of the proposed gesture and due to the fact that actually in ukrainian history there is already a gesture to denote a trident, which was used in particular by members of the people's movement and mr. yermolenko, why did this happen at all? why was it neglected and why did the ministry of culture get involved in the scandal? i haven't been following this question very much, that's why i don't have any comments here, thank you, but i still want to remind you that this discussion is quite lively now, and many blame their own ignorance for some elementary lack of preparation for this situation, however, it is almost

worth noting that the gang agency explained that, well, it actually has its own explanation and why they did so and still called to use the gesture that everyone likes, thank you very much for joining our ether, we were contacted by a philosopher and the writer and volodymyr yarmolenko, well, we will conclude with this, and finally, i will read some news, in particular, about the fact that we started our program with this, russia is trying to tie the fighters of the azov regiment to the murder of the daughter of a russian of the political figure oleksandr dovgin, this was announced by the freed azov citizen vladyslav zaivoronok positive-callsign wikipedia well, in fact, in front of our topics when we were preparing, we saw that they were spreading on social networks, advised that those who probably committed this crime could be involved in on this, i i'm telling you goodbye thank you for watching goodbye

180 days of full-scale russian full-scale russian-ukrainian war continues, so i 'll start this issue with operational information from the enemy's general staff is concentrating its efforts on full capture of donetsk region received from the captured districts of kherson part of kharkiv zaporizhzhia and mykolaiv regions continues air and missile strikes on civilian objects on the territory of ukraine in the donetsk direction the enemy continues to introduce offensive actions the main efforts are concentrated in the bakhmut and avdiiv directions in the kramatorsk area the invaders advanced in the area russians attacked krasnopill settlement in the bakhmut direction near soledar academy and zaytsevo, unsuccessfully in the avdiiv direction, the occupiers
