of respondents believe in the victory of ukraine in the war against the russian federation, and 31% believe that victory will be achieved by the end of the year, and a little less believe that in two or three years. and 75% of ukrainians want a complete severance of all relations with by the russian federation, again, these are the results of the fund's research, the democratic initiatives that were presented to our attention today, take care, i want to say goodbye to you, thank you for being with us until tomorrow, i say goodbye to you, we will meet. well, now for your attention, a news release from my colleagues from by the ukrainian editorial staff of bbc news good evening we are from ukraine on the air of bbc news ukraine in the studio olga palamaryuk and today we are talking about this the commander-in-chief of the armed forces named the number of dead ukrainian soldiers in the war with russia

kyiv warns of possible attacks on independence day what advice does the government give to residents of large cities and russia accuses ukraine of murdering the daughter of the ideologue of russky mir dugin, what is wrong with this version and we begin the issue with the announcement made by the commander-in-chief of the armed forces of ukraine valery zaluzhny on the 180th day of the full-scale invasion of russia. he named the number of ukrainian soldiers who died in these 6 months. according to him, we are talking about 9,000 defenders of the country, among them not only military personnel and soldiers of the teroboron and all those who

took up arms. about three thousand dead and 10,000 wounded ukrainian defenders at the beginning of june, the ukrainian authorities reported that the losses of the ukrainian military amounted to from 100 to 200 people every day, this is the largest figures that were made public during the war and on the eve of independence day, the ukrainian authorities warn that russia may resort to particularly cruel actions, president zelenskyi said in particular, journalists also learned that employees of the government quarter received a recommendation to work from home for a week at the same time ukrainian intelligence has no confirmed information yet about the intentions of the russians to carry out large-scale provocations on independence day. this was reported by the ministry of internal affairs. currently, the work of intelligence officers is focused on those events where a large gathering of people, including on khreshchatyk

, where a parade of vehicles destroyed by the russians is taking place , at the same time, mass events in kyiv were canceled, ukrainians are asked not to ignore air warning signals and hide in shelters, so what is the mood among people in connection with the warnings of the authorities, let's talk about it with my colleague correspondent zhanna bezpiachok congratulations zhanna ot we remember the statehood day so then russia fired at ukraine from three directions at once and now shortly before the day of independence there are the same fears as proof the operational command of the south has released information, and here i will quote the probability of increased enemy attacks and missile strikes on the territory of ukraine is extremely high, and now in kyiv, tell us what the mood is among the citizens and how the capital is generally preparing for independence day, well, first of all, some people are indeed leaving kyiv, but very it is difficult to

say now whether it really has a mass character and scale, such large streets of the city are crowded now and in general kyiv lives its usual life despite the war, this is the first moment, but what is definitely it is noticeable that in some places they are trying to find out for themselves how serious this threat is and, well, actually prepare themselves if they stay in the city before acting in case of emergency . that is, this is what people say that they are trying to find out for themselves we will listen to the advice of the authorities and be vigilant these days, but there are no panicky moods in the city at the moment, as you already mentioned all the mass organized special events, the cancellation of the celebrations will not happen in kyiv in general. by the way, the residents of other

cities where until now it was relatively calm for a certain period of time lviv odesa for example they even encourage people to avoid walking if there is no need these days well, that's how you talked about odesa. and we actually know that a curfew has been announced in kharkiv oblast on independence day. tell us about the measures that , in particular, in addition to kharkov and odesa, in the big cities that will be introduced in kharkiv in general, a one-and-a-half-day curfew will begin tomorrow at 7:00 p.m. and end at seven in the morning in one-and-a-half hours on august 25. this is due to the fact that in this particular place, in addition to missile threats, there is the existing threat of shelling from

rocket launcher systems, this is another very there is a serious danger in kyiv, odesa, lviv, and other cities in the west of central ukraine. fortunately, there are no such threats. the main threat is rocket attacks. we know from the ukrainian military and western intelligence that the russian army managed to accumulate a large number of jet systems of the es300s400e complexes at the zyabrovka or ukrainian zyabrovka airfield near gomel. this is already a well-known airfield from which ukraine was fired at on july 28, on the day of e statehood , and they are also accumulating missiles for all other words e ships with cruise missiles caliber v the waters of the black sea, according to the data publicly released by the ukrainian side, there are five such ships in the waters of the black sea and tens of

calibers, and there is also another danger and threat - this ballistic missiles that are more difficult to shoot down ukrainian air defense and ukrainian fighter jets also have in russia high up with the goalkeeper modern sonic missiles that can fly by and not be noticed by air defense, this is a dagger missile, they are really afraid, these are such threats. such dangers are on the 28th july, on the day of ukraine's statehood, the country was bombarded with missiles from three directions from russia, belarus, and from the black sea, and now the ukrainian authorities , the ukrainian military, are warning that there is a threat shelling again from the territory of the two countries plus the black sea water area, in particular, the part that

russia occupied today. wrote what the russians want to arrange for ukrainian prisoners something like the nuremberg tribunal, according to these data they want to hold a trial not specifically on the azov fighters as unit or on the military of ukraine, and the so-called tribunal will be held in many locations, and mariupol will be only the first of them . abomination, not a court of law will happen if our people have violated

all agreements of all international rules , they will be led into these settings, there will be abuse, this will be the line behind which any negotiations are impossible, russia itself will cut itself off from the negotiations ukraine will not tolerate this will not tolerate bullying of people about whom one can say only one thing: they are the heroes of their homeland and russia accuses the ukrainian special services of murdering the daughter of the influential russian ideologist daria dukhina, as the fsb claims - a citizen of ukraine is allegedly involved in the case the name is natalya vovk, a woman apparently came to russia with her schoolgirl daughter, on july 23 they rented an apartment in the same house where dugina lived and organized a car explosion using a device with a remote control the management of any evidence, the russian agency did not make public, let me remind you, the office of the president of ukraine immediately declared that ukraine was not involved in the murder of dugyna, according to mykhailo podolak, the russians are inciting the

situation in order to mobilize, and this afternoon, an official statement from the azov regiment also appeared, the woman the fsb is talking about is not has nothing to do with azov, they say there, and she never belonged to it. and the terrorist act itself is called preparation for the massacre of captured azov citizens, and we will try to understand what happened with by bbc correspondent oleg antonenko, he is now on a direct call. congratulations oleg, so i am commenting on the murder and its versions, russian figures and also western experts, well, first of all, let's say that the version of the fsb is generally taken a very critical position and by independent russian experts, but some now believe that the version of the fsb as paradoxical as it sounds, it may be true and a person called natalya vovk, who came to russia with her daughter, could be behind this murder, for example, the editor of the media zone project thinks so

serhii smirnov, who by no means sympathizes with the fsb or the russian authorities, but he assumes that the fsb could really solve the murder. however, the question then begins, is this person natalya vovk really connected with the ukrainian special services, if it was her or did she act more or less independently or in the composition of the group, which is in no way connected with the ukrainian authorities and special services, one more thing: how and where did it acquire explosives, and most importantly, why was daria durgin killed, a well- known russian political technologist who worked in the apparatus of the russian government, and vas alyamov is the one who answers on this question, he considers it very important that the deceased was not a propagandist of the first and even the second sholon. in this sense, he writes, the murder achieved a very specific goal, in contrast to the situation, what if, for example, solovyov was blown up , those people who came to dugina will not feel safe now talk show to shout something there - says galyamov. as for western experts, journalists, who are influential, the british guard

emphasizes the fact that representatives of the ukrainian authorities most likely call the murder an operation organized by the russian state to impersonate ukraine and justify further aggression, but the big question is whether russia needs an excuse to continue aggression in this sense, they had what was holding them back until this moment and there is little that will hold them back, but the fsb version too many questions a-a well, how did the ukrainian murderer get to russia, how did she commit a high-profile murder and then calmly run away and was not arrested, if it is true, garden writes, then it is a shocking failure of the fsb. and if it is not true, this is a very strange story which is unclear, why were you even inventing it? tell me, maybe. a little more, for our viewers, something about dugina. who is she? well, in 2014,

dugina graduated from the faculty of philosophy at moscow state university, then they wrote a phd thesis on the ancient greek philosopher plato. she was interested in music. they played in the same musical group. and friends said that she even ran away from home , that is, in principle, she was such a normal teenager , but then she began to actively engage in the business of her father, oleksandr dovgin, she was a follower of his philosophical and political theory of eurasianism well, if the essence of the theory is very simplified, then it is that the eurasian countries, the main one of which is russia , opposes the atlanticists, that is, britain and the usa, and that the east slavic peoples, russians, belarusians, and ukrainians should unite into one state, that is, well, it is very a lot if you retell the whole theory, well , that’s the main thing, and the arcs have cooperated with many nationalist and propagandist media in russia, both as a correspondent and as an expert, for example, in salgrad, taras there. and recently, when the war began, she appeared on russian

talk shows where, you know, the guests of these shows told the russians about the nazis in ukraine and why it was necessary. well, the so-called special operation. but to be honest, one should not exaggerate its importance . most russians found out that there was such a person only after her murder, well, one more question, yes, you are responsible for yourself for this terrorist attack. if you believe the russian ex-deputy or ponomariov, this was taken by a national republican army, tell me what it is group and will anything be known about it up to this point? well, there are a lot of questions about ponomariov's version. perhaps even more than about the version of the fsb, the main one of which is and where are any details of the activities of the so-called russian national republican army so that ponomariov can be trusted except for the so-called the manifesto of this army read by ponomaryev, there are many slogans but very

little of anything specific, there is nothing, and even less is known about the so-called national republican army than about the legion of freedom of russia, so that this version, at least by experts and journalists, is still not perceived as the main one, to put it mildly. thank you , it was the bbc correspondent oleg antonenko. and who is oleksandr dolgin? western changes call him one of the main ideologues of modern russia, to whom putin is listened by many security forces and kremlin officials. he is known as a philosopher and conservative publicist in 2014, dugin noted everything with harsh anti-ukrainian statements, in particular, commenting on the tragic events in odesa on may 2, he called to kill, kill, and kill. this was a quote his daughter daria fully supported her father's ideology and was his right hand . she traveled to the territory occupied by russia and called for terror against ukrainians and the purge

of people who support ukraine. the authorities of the united states and great britain accused her of spreading disinformation and also put her on the sanctions lists on the fronts, british intelligence informs russia that there is a shortage of manpower in donbas, today's briefing by the british ministry of defense states that there is a shortage of manpower for the continuation of hostilities by russia in donbas russia is increasingly trying to motivate additional forces that it uses to strengthen its troops in donbas commanders probably use direct material incentives and some combat units are considered unfavorable for the offensive it is said that the problem is compounded by the fact that the russian authorities call the war a special military operation and this limits the state's ability to use legal coercion to participate in hostilities, british intelligence reminds the armed forces of ukraine again

they hit the antoniv bridge in kherson, there could be a russian military column there, the spokeswoman of the operational command for the south, natalya humenyuk, reported about a new attack. previously, the media wrote about a large explosion on the bridge in kherson, as the adviser to the head of the kherson region, serhii khlan, said, the armed forces of ukraine did not just hit the bridge, they did it according to him, the explosions were very loud at the exact moment when a column of russian cars with ammunition was moving along it, but russia said that workers were injured by the shelling of the bridge of the repair brigade that worked there, i will remind you that the antonov bridge is a strategic object that allows the russians to supply weapons to their grouping of troops on the right bank of the dnieper, and then we will talk about a possible counter-offensive in the south, which domestic and western experts have been talking about for several weeks, so far the western ones mostly agree in the opinion that none of the parties, neither ukraine nor russia, have

sufficient forces to turn the course of the war in their favor, and ukraine's victory will be ensured by the constant support of the western allies at the same time the tactics of the armed forces in the south are considered reasonable because it solves two important issues, it demoralizes the russian forces from this panic in their ranks, on the one hand , and on the other hand, it really undermines their combat capability with well- aimed strikes; of the eastern front , my colleague iryna taranyuk spoke with him ukraine is strong in ukraine, it seems like she entered the studio when on the battlefield neither side has an advantage, the russians are slowly burning out everything on their own on the way, the ukrainian armed forces are moving forward in the east, thanks to modern weapons, they are targeting the combat points of the russians in the rear, in particular, thanks to the himers or m-77 mobile volley fire systems.

what is your assessment of where everything is going and is there an end in sight facebook, unfortunately, the end is not in sight at the moment i think that we are witnessing a new stage of the war is a blind corner because, as you have already mentioned, there is a shift on the battlefield, but this war is turning more and more into a war of attrition, and there are several reasons for this. and if you look back at the very beginning of hostilities, and it is noticeable that in this war the advantage is also on the side of those who defend ukraine at the beginning of the war, and this was a surprise for many people, managed to organize an effective defense, and thus forced the russians to reconsider their initial strategic integrity. went on the offensive in the

east, where they really captured significant territories , but they paid a terrible price for it, because the ukrainians once again organized a very effective and destructive attack for the russians, and it is interesting to look at what to say now the roles have changed we hear a lot about the ukrainian offensive in the kherson region justing questing ukrainians really have and now a very interesting question is whether the ukrainian armed forces really have a sufficiently maneuverable strike force to successfully deploy such an offensive against me despite all those statements that the ukrainians are already gathering soon to recapture kherson and so on, among the majority of experts the prevailing opinion is that neither side currently has the maneuverable strike capabilities to get out of this exhausting confrontation at least the next few months when talking about the

announced counteroffensive in the south in the kherson region, targeted strikes by the armed forces of ukraine on bridges over the dnipro, on warehouses and supply lines of the russians , they could, in principle, cause sufficient damage to the enemy so that it would be possible to plan offensive operations. is this currently premature and the country is really interesting the episode in maine is really the ukrainian armed forces successfully using to their advantage the weapons received from the west or the american aimers or its rocket systems of salvo fire from other countries of ukrainians they effectively use ammunition warehouses, logistics hubs, command centers and so on for strikes in the rear of the russians, bridges under kherson, mysterious explosions at warehouses or at military bases in the crimea

, so all this actually boils down to the fact that they are preparing the ground for a possible counteroffensive, warehouses with unmanned units are especially important here because russia still has a significant advantage in long-range artillery systems, the problem is that you can prepare the battlefield as you like, but to start a successful offensive, you need the advantage in manpower is three to one so that one soldier of the defense accounts for three in the attack. the ukrainians in the south not only have this level of superiority, but also in my opinion . something very interesting is happening to me in the south, we see two interesting things, firstly, very precisely, ukrainian strikes on the key infrastructure of the russians, which exhaust them, partially isolate them, and so on, and secondly, this also forced the russians to transfer a significant

part of their forces from the east to the south, the russians are not stupid, they saw what the ukrainians were doing and began to urgently strengthen their positions near kherson , transferring additional forces there, including elite landing units, such a large number of troops on the way gave the ukrainian forces additional chances to hit them with their long-range missiles. but i it seems that even if the ukrainian forces had a numerical advantage a few weeks ago, at least it seems to me that the chance to go into a counteroffensive has passed. that's what we'll see in the next few weeks, these are further ukrainian strikes with high-precision weapons in order to further demoralize , isolate and exhaust the russians, and it is already clear that the significant losses of the russians have begun to show, they have lost many personnel of the elite units of those volunteer units that they recruit with scraps and where they take anyone suitable not for combat, but for the maintenance of the already

occupied territories, it seems incredible to many. and where the russians really lack people and equipment, the russians are scraping one of several types of barrels, they hope to somehow survive this winter and during this winter, they really want to create a radically different atmosphere around ukraine and its support from the west. six months of active shelling, forced internal resettlement in new cities and economic instability have led to the fact that 80% of ukrainians are ready to work outside of their specialty, these are the data of the sixth wave of the hail society survey during the war, the sociological company degree-resource has been conducting it since the beginning of the russian invasion of ukraine in cities with a population of more than 50,000 people, this time ukrainians were asked about the stability of their incomes and were also interested in how many respondents remained without work or the opportunity to work, sociologists also investigated how confident the population of ukraine is that they will not

lose their source of income in the near future and how all this affects their emotional and psychological state, so how do ukrainians earn as much as possible to support their families, we will talk with the founder and director of the company degree resorichi yevgenii u bliznyuk yevheniya i congratulate you on how much harder it has become for ukrainians to search and find job yes, and how much is left without a salary? well, you know, of course, the search for a job has become noticeable. ukrainians are now paying maximum attention to the issue of securing a job and securing finances, because it hurts almost as much as the security question. if in early march, when we conducted the first survey and asked in of people, do they have a job? 40% of people said that they formally have a job, but the

activity is suspended, the work is suspended and they do not receive an income, a third said that they do not have a job, but half of this third did not work even before the war. that is, there are students or people who were not involved in labor a-and as of mid-summer, we can already see that this group of 40% of people who in march a-a had a formal job but did not work, they separated by two divided into groups, yes, about two-thirds started working again, joined work, and about one-third joined the ranks of the unemployed, that is, 40% of the unemployed are now unemployed, we see from our surveys that this is urban adults, the adult population is of course a shocking figure, and people they note that they have either lost their income or their income has

decreased significantly, one in five ukrainians notes that they do not currently have a stable stable income, that is , the financial issue worries everyone, very, very many people, the numbers are really impressive, but tell me what they expect from the authorities, or do they calculate people need help from the state, yes, of course, people expect and need help . in march, the two main categories of help that people sought from the government were humanitarian aid. of course, it is food and clothing for people who were displaced or were forced to leave their homes and the second category is help in organizing evacuation yes, in organizing rescue and now these two groups of requests they are still the most significant, they are the largest there, about 65%

of people note that it is necessary, however , the category of people has grown very much who note that they need help in finding a paid job, this is what we talked about with you at the beginning of our conversation . one of the biggest and most painful questions until the near future. tell me how all this affects the outflow of business workers, in particular from ukraine. well, of course, the biggest impact on the outflow of business workers is the security situation in the majority of the country. the capacity has decreased a lot and it is necessary for people to understand how to live

tomorrow, that is why those businesses and specialists who are able to demonstrate and offer themselves in the western markets are doing it, and here the question is not how to keep them, and how to bring them back to motivate them to return, because as of now, businesses and people who left have a very, very high level of patriotism, they are ready to return at the first opportunity and are ready to invest money back into the restoration of the country, the restoration of ukraine and therefore a lot will depend on how quickly and to which country they will have time to return. yes, thank you, the founder of the sociological company degree resor or yevgenia blizniuk, we also talked about the fact that because of the war the majority of ukrainians are ready to work and expect financial support from the state and that's all for

today, more stories can be found on our website bbc.ua and on our pages in social networks, we will be on the air again tomorrow at 21:00 take care and see you, dear ukraine, you know what we have everything will be like this everything will work everything will be blue and yellow everything will be and everyone will be at home our ukraine you will bloom and smile again everything will be native everything will be independence happy holiday
