of the espresso tv channel. russia is planning to strike the civilian infrastructure and government facilities of ukraine in the near future. reported american officials with reference to american intelligence data. according to him, the united states is concerned about the threat that russian strikes pose to the civilian population and civilian infrastructure. today, the us embassy also warned that the state department has information about russia's increasing efforts to launch strikes against civilian and government targets. projects and once again called on american citizens to leave ukraine by land transport if it is safe in russia, however, they did not comment on the information that the russian military is planning such strikes the day before, the russian state media called for strikes on objects that in russia are called decision-making centers, in particular , the head of resheto de and margarita

simonyan made such a call. yehor june is live with us. i apologize to the people's deputy of ukraine from the servant of the people faction. good evening. good evening. yesterday, we also talked about these threats regarding possible attacks on of independence discussed with experts that there is a certain symbolism in this and that supposedly russia likes this symbolism, but specifically today there is already such a warning from the american embassy yesterday, there were relevant messages from ukrainian and american intelligence specifically about possible strikes on, i understand, government buildings and civilian infrastructure, and if strikes on civilian objects, residential buildings, in this war, there were already strikes on the so-called decision-making centers were not. what do you think is a realistic scenario of an attack specifically on buildings such as, for example, the office

of the president, or probably the main directorate of the security service of ukraine or the ministry of defense, in fact, the employees of the russian media talked about these addresses? well, the verkhovna rada also, in fact, there is, i do not rule out absolutely anything and i think that the purpose of such strikes will not be the destruction of people, er, by making this decision, but simply symbolism, because they understand absolutely clearly that we are taking all measures so that there are no people in these buildings these days. but for i think it will be very important for them to show that we will destroy one of the symbols of the state of ukraine from the places where decisions are really made, so i absolutely do not rule it out. i think that on august 24, on independence day, and these schizophrenic kremlin schizophrenics can do

everything anything, really, that's why i urge all our citizens to ignore the alarm signals , especially these days, especially in the center of kyiv, mr. june. do you think ukraine is ready for such a situation to unfold? you have already started the fifth to this question, what is probably preparing for the fact that there will be no people at least behind these buildings? can you tell me how the population actually prepares for this and what it should prepare for? well, first of all, we have it with everyone if not by days, then by months, our air defense is definitely strengthening , thanks to our partners, we are getting more and more of the newest, newest weapons, especially anti-aircraft weapons, and that's why i hope that it will also be effective here, and if it is necessary, their work on the other side will be effective .

absolutely all public events have been canceled, that is, they should not be held there in the center of kyiv, and all employees who work at m.m. in various institutions located in the government quarter were recommended to work at least this week with remote tire what do you think, if such strikes will still happen, then what goals can russia set for itself? you know this, you know, first of all, show the audience to the russian people what they can, what they have there is enough for that weapons that they are determined there and so on, they are basically preparing for this, preparing their own population from the point of view of the world

community, well, you know, it will look absolutely clear, just like in principle, their previous strikes on civilian infrastructure as an act of terrorism , because ah, this is definitely not military facilities this is definitely not a military facility and they will once again prove to the world that they are a terrorist state. i think that this will also be a step for the decision of other countries, in particular the united states to recognize russia as a sponsor of terrorism well , president volodymyr zelenskyi has already promised a decisive response if russia does organize provocations on independence day, what could he mean, how did you understand it, ah, as i said, in principle, we are getting stronger month by month, we receive different weapons, not all weapons, and we can talk on the air, and we do not know about all weapons,

but we receive, and moreover, we receive from our partners many more items that can be voiced , and i think that we have not what i think i'm sure that we have a variety of weapons, including long-range weapons, which can, if necessary, reach the decision-making center, then the headquarters of the occupying forces in the territory of the crimea and the occupied territories, is that correct? i understand that it is not about strikes on the territory of russia. although, on the other hand, there are many, if i am not mistaken , even the minister of defense said. in principle, we are the same as in any other wars, indeed, we consider military bases as

legitimate targets, here is a question for our partners, which, well, the condition of providing which are some long-range weapons was not to be used on the territory of the russian federation, on everyone in the territory of the russian federation, and we adhere to the a-a psychos, and if i talk about the use of ukrainian-made weapons here is not me, i am not asking if ukraine is going to do this in principle . we have the right to respond to the state of war as we see fit. that's it. everything is clear. you also said that you hope that the west will somehow react to the possible strikes if they happen , and if in fact the west will limit itself to statements and there

will be no additional steps, you as a deputy of the supreme council, what will be your position? did you demand, for example, additional sanctions? this is quite such a long, long, complicated process, namely the promotion and the creation of a separate international tribunal on aggression and the recognition of e of the russian federation as a sponsor of terrorism , we work in all directions. of course, first of all, it is the president, it is the ministry of foreign affairs, and it is the parliament that cooperates with the congresses, the senate, in particular, er. they are ready for the position of the congress, that is, the senate, but they are so pushing for this decision to recognize the white house as a sponsor of terrorism by the russian federation, and

now the question is on their side i hope that it will be resolved after all. thank you very much. yehor chernev, a member of the verkhovna rada of ukraine, faction of the servant of the people, russian troops shelled kharkiv when they celebrate the city's day. mayor ihor terekhov informed about this. this morning, the kyiv district of kharkiv was shelled through reports of possible provocations on independence day in kharkiv introduced a curfew for a day and a half, but what is the situation in the city now ? tell me how the city day is currently being held in kharkiv and how it is preparing for this long curfew. congratulations, colleague. even now in kharkiv

, such intensified measures to check citizens on the street have been taking place for several days, as special filtering checkpoints have been set up around the city, at which policemen almost every car that passes by is checked for documents that are inside. it is precisely because of this threat that the military administration, including the kharkiv and these posts have become much more than there were before in kharkiv, of course, due to the rules, we will not say where exactly they are, but there are also a little fewer cars in the city, people warned that there will be such intensified measures to prevent it, now it is obvious that there are technical problems, we will try to restore contact with our kharkiv correspondent iryna antonyuk, and for now we'll move on - move on, but now i'm being told that we can show the actual story from kharkiv.

kharkiv is under russian fire almost every day with artillery and rockets, in order to protect people in the city, they began to set up shelters where you can hide in the event of an air raid, in particular, shelters are also being made near public transport stops, let's see if they are placed near the stops, as it were, so that people can run when something happens with re anyway, you причется крытые тебя , the instinct to hide once you don't fall to the ground works well, at least such stops well, let's see how they will work yes, it's very convenient because you have to go out in the morning and here it is i can hear it loudly, so we will all hide. thank you very much. now, rogan massima, you are here. i was lying in the hospital. i was discharged and i am

very glad that now it is possible to go to kharkiv. there will be no place for a special woman with children to hide somewhere from the shelling because it is scary to watch. when the check shakes and uh, he is worried, uh, he even cries during these attacks, that’s why i was very happy. therefore, it was necessary to make such a stopping plan. here there was an arrival, there was a colossal destruction, and it is necessary to install there somewhere, it is necessary to stop there where there is a concentration of people

, where we understand that the zone is more often shelled precisely in in those places, we will start installing uh such stops at a minimum. we need 25 such stops, it is clear that we will not be able to install such stops all over the city, in any case, quickly, but we uh choose the most dangerous locations and the most dangerous zone in order to save life again and healthier clothes we have re-established contact with the correspondent in kharkiv, iryna antonyuk iryna, please continue , tell me in particular how the city day is going or is it being celebrated today in kharkiv, to say

that we cannot now re-establish contact, unfortunately, to re-establish contact with the correspondent iryna antonyuk in kharkiv, just a reminder for viewers that we will soon see the plot from kharkiv how it is being prepared there how they are building there are such shelters right on the street right near the transport stops actually not only in kharkiv but also in kharkiv in particular there were victims due to russian shelling precisely at transport stops when people were waiting for transport and because of this they became er suffered from shelling and there are also fatal cases because of it, and now we have our next guest on the phone, we will talk about the impact of the war on kharkiv - it is the second largest city of ukraine and we are talking about it with candidate of political sciences yuliya bidenko from the department of political science of the kharkiv national university named after karazi i congratulate the studio i greet the audience kharkiv

has been under constant fire since the beginning of the full-scale invasion and many kharkiv residents were forced to leave this city, how does it affect the worldview of the inhabitants of the city, which was mostly russian-speaking, which some people actually called a pro-russian city? somehow it has changed now. well, i can say that despite the fact that the language used by kharkiv residents was dominated by the russian language, but when nevertheless, many people still spoke ukrainian, especially in scientific academic circles, circles of activists and youth leaders, but at the same time we can say that the statistical average of kharkiv residents is most likely spoke russian, but at the same time, together with the democratic initiative fund, we conducted a survey of identical kharkiv residents and within

the 21st year. still, the majority of residents of the region considered themselves first of all citizens of ukraine, and then kharkiv. and after that , maybe even citizens of europe, so identity was not always equal to language, first of all, and secondly, i would say that the city really united in many ways, regardless of where people are, most typically they are promoters of kharkiv, they help, they volunteer and in the park itself is from a distance, and you can say that the city of reinforced concrete, as it is now called, it fully deserves its name, and they even say that kharkiv is the city of heroes, and the city of heroes. well, here is what is known, or can you explain what is known about the socio-political attitudes of kharkiv residents before the beginning full-scale war and actually and after it started and after kharkiv became one of the targets of the most bombarded cities by russia i will clarify

what i actually mean about when people talk about kharkiv as such a pro-russian city, and what did it manifest itself in? is it really so, or would it be fair to say that if we are talking about the time until february 24 or thereabouts, for example ? explain this to my colleagues and viewers, avoid such generalizations that eastern ukraine is bound to be a pro-russian city, if we look at the results of local elections in the entire region or, for example, in the kharkiv city council, we will see that the people of kharkiv were mostly local patriots, and the first places were occupied by

local political parties, in particular, the force that you are currently presenting the situation, which, including and in principle, is an example of such a pro-russian political force that is currently recognized by the verkhovna rada of ukraine and it never had a majority by the courts, and even under yanukovych , it can be said that kharkiv did not give as many votes as donetsk, luhansk, other eastern ukrainian or southern ukrainian cities , that is, kharkiv was characterized by such a very good patriotism, orientation towards leaders in groups within the communities, that is why we have quite powerful local parties and there was also a lot of support for the servant of the people and zelensky in the election cycle of the 19th year, what is very important for me is that in kharkiv on the eve of the full-scale registration of russia one of the most massive actions in ukraine

against military intervention took place. it was held under the ukrainian flag, which, by the way, i don’t know all the auditoriums and it was held with red and black flags. that is, it was completely pro-ukrainian the action, which numbered up to 5,000 people, took place on february 5 of the following week. a similar action took place with similar organizers. the march took place in kyiv, but even there the voter turnout was less, so for me, such a pro-russian kharkivite is absolutely the reaction for which we have in ukrainian, in other cities, it is always under the question, we always need more research, but i can say that even despite the use of both the ukrainian and russian languages, i think that the majority of kharkiv residents now curse the kremlin and russia in both mother tongues that is, this is an additional language in order to express the negative feelings towards russia that kharkiv residents now

have, mrs. videnko. how could these attitudes change after a full-scale invasion? will kharkiv now be able to clearly state that it is such a city? purely ukrainian is such an outpost because of its weight in the ukrainian economy and politics that it is an outpost of the ukrainian identity itself. it is not a question for me and i don't think that. do you know how some political leaders are trying to play for the separation of ukraine kharkiv has already proven his ukrainianness and identity and the losses caused by the people of kharkiv, they will probably melt ukrainian cities that suffer from aggression, and even more so kharkiv as an educational center and a center of ukrainian culture.

center, because the russians are trying to hit the largest educational institutions that are in the top-5, in the top-10, precisely ukrainian cherries, that's why the people of kharkiv really see that the russians are trying to destroy first of all, objects not only of critical infrastructure, but still objects of ukrainian education and ukrainian cult included with the hryhoriy skovoroda museum, for example, or several buildings of the karazin university, my university, as well as the university of pedagogical university, the polytechnic university, and again, the veterinary academy , agriculturally, that is, it is clear that the russians are not destroying just buildings that could represent some danger for their special operation there, this is genocide, which is specifically aimed at preventing ukrainian education and ukrainian culture on these lands. i think that this is clear, and i want to

ask you one more thing, how would you characterize the politics of igor terekhov, the mayor of kharkiv, and in particular in matters, well, it is obvious that a certain political rebirth has happened, but all the same, we hear that, in particular , igor terekhov is calling for moderate regarding the renaming of russian names, he still does not have such a request. so to speak, for a radical rejection of russian e-e mm-m monuments, the name is possible. children, i was very critical of his election campaign, but still, he defeated mr. dobkin , who was successful in the cause of the return of russian to kharkiv schools, that is, this idea did not take root and was not supported by the people of kharkiv. i think that terikhal has his own convictions he was not brought up in

such a cultured ukrainian stratum, although some of his analyzes are purely from such ukrainian families, first of all, and secondly, he has a specific electorate that previously declared that he is not a politician , and therefore perekat is a rather careful game in these narratives. that is, we want to have a traditional kharkiv as we know it, but we are not very interested in whether it is russian or soviet. this narratism calls it something else. i think that when we return to peaceful life and politics in our life, there will be much more. he will understand the orientations of the people of kharkiv which are now being transformed. that is, these are sprays that are constantly changing, and to the extent that the people of kharkiv are correcting themselves, politics is correcting as much . thank you very much. yuliya bidenko, candidate of political sciences department of political science of kharkiv national university named after karazin, russian troops

are conducting active operations in the bakhmut and avdiivka directions in the donetsk region, but they have not been successful. this was reported by the general staff of the armed forces of ukraine in the morning. it is currently impossible to verify the statements of the military command of both sides, because actually, in the circumstances of the war, and in particular, the situation in bakhmut is known to be stable but difficult the armed forces of ukraine have losses due to the superiority of the russian troops in artillery, but they hold the city , the doctor of the field hospital in bakhmut told the reuters agency about this, let's see how they get used to us, how they don't shoot, so you tell us it's even worse when they shoot, we're already waiting what well, they shoot when silence means when in front of a brown

shelter, we are going, but something will happen, here we are , here we are, at the moment, of course, the situation here is stable, difficult, but stable, the guys are holding on, but from the other side, we have to see we feel this very much the superiority of the great especially in the artillery systems, unfortunately we have losses that could have been prevented if there was an adequate response from us . i tried five holes in the bedroom roof , and in the second fullness i tried a hole in the ceiling from

that and shards, and we found on the ground in the rooms 15 shards and such shards if 5 cm long and small volunteers, searchers of the mission black tulip has been working for the fourth day at the site of the death of ukrainian soldiers in donetsk region. the soldiers died a few months ago. search operations became possible after the cessation of active hostilities , but the volunteers say that russian troops fired at the site of work with cluster munitions for the past few days. they have already managed to find the remains of one soldier. now searchers are working to find the body of another soldier, as reported by oleksiy yukov, the head of the association of researchers of the military historical heritage of the bridgehead, currently the russian troops are not they allow volunteers in the occupied territory to return the bodies of soldiers and armed forces, one from the donetsk region was there watching us clear the debris, er, where

did they say that there are bodies of military personnel? and it is also possible that there are also civilians who may be under the debris. they found it, most likely a serviceman of the ukrainian armed forces, because there is camouflage . the pixel is retractable and for now. god, it didn’t detonate, plus shelling is still going on in this settlement, at the time when we were working, it fell very close, it was pouring cassettes from the russian side, well, nothing stops them, no, the red cross, it’s not that people work in protective vests , well, nothing has stopped them for a long time, that’s all they raked and everything would be great, they are tractor body fragments, you see, they also found something, yes,

yes, so that there would be no father, fragments
