was preceded by peace talks in istanbul and numerous defeats of the enemy on the battlefield, leaving kyiv oblast, sumy oblast and chernihiv oblast, the rashists committed atrocities over peaceful people, in particular in buch, irpen makarov and many more small towns of heroes. it was these settlements that saved the capital from the occupation at the cost of hundreds and thousands of lives. gostomel, where the cargo airfield antonov is located, was the first to take the fight, and the russian landing forces landed there , according to the commander-in-chief, to the north of kyiv could become for the enemy at the gates to the capital, our soldiers prevented this in may, the armed forces of ukraine began to prepare for a counteroffensive in the south of the country, now our soldiers are destroying

russian warehouses with ammunition, military equipment and logistics routes of the occupiers, for example, in kherson oblast. there are no longer any road bridges across the dnieper river, with which russia provided its soldiers , the command is gradually moving closer to the occupied crimea. became a legend for this war, at dawn on february 24, russian ships approached it, and i conducted a skirmish. the operation to liberate the island lasted

about two months, and on june 30, the enemy left behind for cleaning, special intelligence units, special forces and border guards flew a blue-yellow flag on the serpent zamayor on july 7. in this way, ukraine created the prerequisites for the operation of the sea ports of odesa. on april 13, ukrainian neptune missiles flew at the flagship of the russian black sea fleet, the cruiser moscow, it sank, and before that, the ship was detonated missiles, the cruiser was the most powerful in the black sea fleet of russia with a crew of half a thousand people, its price was two and a half billion dollars, this is the largest loss of the chf since the second world war, they began to recognize the loss of the ship, and especially the involvement of the armed

forces of ukraine in this. on august 9, the holiday season in the temporarily occupied crimea began to subside. vacationers heard powerful explosions in the village of novofedorivka near the city of saky. then russia said goodbye to the military airfield where its attack aircraft were stationed. things involvement in that is not confirmed similar explosions were heard on august 16 in dzhankoi and gvardiysky there are ammunition depots, a railway station and an air base of the occupiers, the beaches of the island were emptied. and traffic jams were formed on the crimean bridge with russian refugees in the occupied crimea. russia

has been holding 14 journalists behind bars for a year and a half. journalist vladyslav yesipenko has been in russian captivity. on february 16, he was sentenced to 8 years in prison. the russian authorities accuse the journalist of illegal detention and transportation of an explosive device, as well as in the work of the ukrainian special service vladyslav yesypenko claims that he was tortured in order to obtain testimony . in addition, in the occupied crimea, the russians have already discovered more than 100 cases for the so-called discrediting of the russian army, only recently after a series of explosions on the peninsula, six crimean tatars were detained. vlad turned out to be a very stable person and did not cooperate with the investigation, this helped him a lot, because the fsb's plans were initially to accuse

him of espionage and sabotage and due to the fact that he endured all this and already declared torture in court and refused this lawyer by appointment , the fsb was left with only a grenade, because they could not prove anything, the meaning of this arrest was in therefore, to make vladyslav shut up and scare those who share his views and his point of view, and we clearly understand that we can only talk about the release of vladyslav, the release of all political prisoners, prisoners of war, civilian prisoners in the context of ukraine's military victory over russia, because putin proved the escalation to the ukrainian people and this should not go unpunished and for now this was all the news for this time and our team is working so that at 7:00 p.m. you will see the updated news release, watch it on the air of our

happening today will affect our tomorrow. watch saturday's nespresso news on the espresso tv channel, an informational and analytical marathon continues at 4:00 p.m. for the next hour we will analyze the most important ones with leading ukrainian and international experts, well, of course, with the participation of christians, today in moscow they buried daria dugin, who died as a result of the murder, and here, in fact, the features of the general picture are very important, the deputy of the state duma of the russian federation, leonits lutskyi, during his speech on at the funeral, he used words very similar to the nazi slogan of the times of hitler's germany. slutsky spoke the phrase one country, one president, one victory, which is extremely similar to nazi one people, one country, one leader, or

so it seems to us. well, during the so-called funeral speeches, several russian figures of putin's direction, in particular, the so-called dmitry kisiliov, noted what russia's response should be, on the one hand, putin's propagandist emphasized uncompromising denazification and demilitarization of ukraine without compromising actions, internal unity for us, this tragic incident is a reason to unite and to become stronger and to reject any two minds that in recent times, it was characteristic of our intelligentsia, that is, uncompromising denazification, demilitarization of ukraine, then dear tv viewers, if you hear signals, in particular, of an air alarm in the next couple of days, be extremely attentive and do not neglect them

. that the united states unconditionally condemns the killing of civilians, wherever they take place, be it in buch or in moscow, and a number of media reports this with reference to the statement of the official the representative of the us state department was not up to the price during the briefing and, by the way, about the us, well, a number of authoritative, authoritative american military and diplomats called on the corresponding official washington is determined to help ukraine, in particular , it is about the supply of weapons that we so need. well, among the signatories of this appeal was kurt volker, former special representative of the united states in ukraine, now mr. volker will be in touch with us we welcome you to mr. volker in the studio of the espresso tv channel thank you for being found the opportunity to join us in our live broadcast

. well, the key question is what happens to those weapons if the number of people whom we respect and trust is extremely high, we are talking about politicians of the united states, of course, but they appealed to the official white house with a demand to speed up their delivery to us heavy weapons a-a 10 billion a dollars and conversal offic and in general already eh at the end of this year the total cost of aid to ukraine will amount to 12 billion dollars a recently had a conversation with representatives of america

actually about the fact that the speed of deliveries is increasing and we are already seeing positive a-a positive reality , because on modern ace systems such as gaimer nasams are already located, some of them are already on the territory of ukraine, some will be already in the near future , but we can already see what results are on the field the battle and so on, the situation will only get better, but nevertheless you note together with your colleagues and the signatories of this letter that the war in ukraine has reached a decisive moment in which the vital interests and interests of the united states of america are put for example, attackcams can disrupt the offensive of russia on this letter is very short, but still the spokesman of the us state department, net price, answered at the briefing, he

stated that the usa is providing kyiv with the assistance it needs at this stage of hostilities and that it is being successfully used to stop the russian offensive by no less stop the attack - it is important to stop the war and think more strategically probably even more important in your opinion can we talk about attacks as an example before land forest is fully operational i certainly agree with you statement of priorities to provide that military aid and those systems that

are urgent right now. which ukrainian ones do we need for what? in the donbass region, we understand how important other systems are, and i also think that we need to support ukraine. also, that they master the systems as efficiently and as quickly as possible in order to preserve and save lives our fellow citizens are so civilian, that's why we are not currently focused on the maximum military strategic system in all aspects . said that in some offices in washington there is an irrational fear of the kremlin, and now again after three

weeks, so to speak, which have passed since the day of the conversation, we have seen that the kremlin is now preparing a provocation on zaporizhzhia nuclear power station to what extent. this story is serious because warnings have already been sounded for the kremlin that in the case of organizing a man-made man- made disaster, the russian military may be involved . irrational in itself, the war itself is irrational and in general, their ideology is fascist imperialist, it destroys both the military and the economy of russia, because of the longing of the russians,

it is completely irrational, therefore we must be we must be careful, but we must be on guard because we must be ready for any irrational scenario, which may soon be, in particular, a potential threat of an attack on the zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, because the consequences will be very, very powerful, of course we understand that the russians will not be able to win ukraine on the field of ugu, because we continue to direct our efforts to guarantee ukraine a victory, which will be as soon as possible, and we understand that the actions of russia may even extend to the involvement of the alliance forces

to the nato alliance and its allies, we understand that russia does not want to continue the war, does not want to spread it on the territory of nato members, they do not want it, and if they had the power to seize other countries, they would completely destroy the military potential of their country, so we continue to help ukraine mr. volker, are there any other threats definitely on the territory of our country besides the zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, in case of which the united states of america can take an even more decisive position and the north atlantic alliance is also a bloc threat the ukrainian people are always present, they are present every day, there are always risks. and yes, in particular,

there are threats of rocket attacks on the civilian population, and we see them on a daily basis. so, what is the risk? and in the last two weeks, they sounded especially often, of course, the danger is related to zaporizhzhia of the nuclear power plant, it is the highest priority, but we understand how much russia is destroying the infrastructure of ukraine and they resort to the most diverse types of weapons, even prohibited ones, and you just emphasized that we must gather to increase help and give it to ukraine as soon as possible dear mr. volker, unfortunately, the current russian war against ukraine reminds me in some ways of the war in korea in the 50s. so we see the very powerful efforts of the international community, which

are still not enough to collapse and to destroy russian aggression, yes, and now there is a feeling that putin is starting to offer different peace formulas to his various partners and non-partners. on the other hand, we understand that our leadership explained very clearly to the russians that they have get out of our territory vacate the temporarily occupied lands and take away their war criminals we see how the russians are reacting so i would ask you to draw parallels with the so-called korean war of the 50s well and accordingly do you see any diplomatic platforms that would be effective as we speak about the korean war, there was such a desire on both sides, and bringing negotiations with the rest to the conclusion of peace, they froze

the conflict and at the right stage, but now for ukraine and for the west there is no such a-a such the right moment is now only the determination to win, the determination to withdraw russian troops from the territory of ukraine, and therefore i think that the whole world, the west, everyone is interested in the fact that russia should leave the territorial borders of ukraine, so that in the future it does not repeat such an unjustified brutal invasion, drawing parallels, everything is possible after all, we see the position of germany during the second world war. and when their military power simply collapsed and a very similar situation is now in russia in the following years, well accordingly, i would like to ask you about the mission

of president erdoğan to the extent that it can be effective , so in order to explain to putin that the west is really integrated in the ukrainian issue, so that putin will not be able to implement his plans as he dreamed of, the role of president erdoğan was completely auxiliary after all, the export of grain and food products has worked and thus the ukrainian economy has benefited from this, as has the economy of other countries. we also see that he tried to implement a similar mechanism to achieve peace, but now we e he also will send a clear message to putin about the unity of the collective action with
