are currently in captivity, so it is very difficult to say what fate the interventionists are preparing for them, but the enemy is preparing an insidious or sneaky action, which khrystyna just spoke about, share, maybe you have any additional information, they are tense and uh, how uh, what the russians announced for today, uh, they have uh the planned courtroom they were preparing the mariupol philharmonic for this terrible action and to make it as painful and humiliating as possible.

we watched this barbaric installation from the russian public behind these cages, in fact, in preparation. but will they implement it today and put it into practice? of the terrible public execution of the prisoners of war of our defenders in the deer park, we see the trick of russia , and we call on the whole world not to stand on the island, not to be afraid to defend ourselves, as we ukrainians did, and as our ukrainians did brave warriors in fact, with not enough weapons, they protected us with their bodies natalya please tell me

if you have any information about how many of our defenders they want to judge in the mariupol philharmonic at least and whether there is an understanding of who will be a participant in this process they promise an almost international tribunal, who agreed to come to take part in this war crime, in essence, we understand that this is russia and there is no reliable information and there will not be a-a therefore a-a who agreed a-a i think that a-a russia in its agony remains as lonely as possible, and only those countries in which a-a i don't know what democracy is a-a don't know what er freedom of speech and the rule of law are can support er russia and in this action that's why a-a well, as far as i'm

concerned, it could be a career, it could be ethiopia itself. well, who else is a belarusian bank? tell me, please , natalya, it's you who are calling and actually doing this system for international organizations to respond to the situation with ukrainian prisoners of war ah, but right away it is important whether there is feedback or whether you are satisfied we will be satisfied with this reaction and what do you think it should be, when we hug our relatives at home, and what should it have been ? well, for us, the ideal scenario. we voiced it a long time ago. it's an abstraction. we... they cheered and asked for the extraction from the plant and from australia, and now

we see that russia is not coping with the maintenance of prisoners of war, it violates all the articles of the geneva convention, starting with the location of camps for prisoners of war, so it would be ideal if russia is worried that are warriors will come back although they will die a-a although they are absolutely not in that condition and then a third party may intervene eh why not and eh extradite our soldiers to do this extraction procedure eh it would be ideal for all of us please tell them the committee of the red cross and the alleged guarantees that they allegedly gave, uh, you are now insisting, as i understand it, that the guarantees were correct, or were you informed that the red cross took some guarantees, the question is, did they take these

guarantees because in some document or something on like this or that, we pass off a little bit of wishful thinking as reality, important procedural points, do you understand uh-uh considering uh-uh the modalities in which the red cross works and the guarantee as such uh-uh with a signature on a paper with a statement of provisions a- it could not be. but by its nature and its activities , the red cross should have access to prisoners of war. this access was during the withdrawal of our soldiers from the azovstal plant, for which i am grateful to the representatives of the international committee of the red cross, as reported by the international the red cross committee did they made a public statement that for them is quite uncharacteristic because they work under the principles

of confidentiality and non-disclosure of information. they made such a statement that the russian federation blocks access to our boys and girls in the camps, and it was obvious to us that access is blocked, but this public statement er it happened because er the only culprit for what has happened and continues to happen to prisoners of war is the only country that receives defenders in captivity and that is the russian federation. i am grateful to all the organizations that tried to reach out, but on the other hand, i can't imagine how it is possible to break through the shelling, through armed aggression, to the organizations that you describe as humanitarian, it's the same as me going with my public organization

to break through to the prisoners thank you thank you we wish you endurance and strength to do everything you are doing now for the sake of your own husband and for the sake of all our defenders natalya zarytska wife of a captured soldier of the azov regiment head of the public association of women of steel here we are one on the 36th minute, the espresso tv channel's informational and analytical day, which accompanies the independence day , continues, we are now adding to our marathon petro andryushchenko, adviser to the mayor of mariupol, glory to ukraine, mr. peter, glory to the heroes we congratulate you on independence day, with the greatest ukrainian holiday, at the same time, we understand that today was supposed to begin shameful pseud court tribunal so called over our fighters please share any information you have on this

we can't confirm the start of this court alone. we see that everything is ready for that. in fact, the preparation of the philharmonic building itself, where it is supposed to take place, has been completed since yesterday . everything is tightly closed on the streets, including that it is forbidden to drive past this building, that is, they are really preparing, whether it will be today or not. well, we will see . it was said that it will be a real surprise for the start date, most likely for everyone because they are very afraid and try to maintain the highest level of security there regarding the holding of this court, hanno, what are they afraid of they are afraid of resistance, they are afraid of our subversive groups, drone strikes, everything that rages against them, and in due time it will definitely reach them for our defenders, just

recently there was information actually refuting the fact that it was the armed forces that struck the donetsk military occupation administration so literally yesterday, the day before yesterday, we all thought that it was a targeted strike by the armed forces of ukraine, it turned out that it was a staging, with what purpose in your opinion. petro andryushchenko, adviser to the mayor and in the field, but we are restoring mr. petrov's connection with us , the so-called problems of the poshilina administration in donetsk and, apparently, the staging that the russians themselves are resorting to in order to throw even more i don't know friend into that fire maybe we are now we are talking about the trial of our

prisoners of war in mariupol, most likely it is so , from what we saw from what was possible, from the situation around donetsk yesterday, well , it is clear that this is exactly our attack and it was definitely intended separate problems with communication petro andryushchenko , advisor to the mayor of mariupol, now we hope he will restore our connection with us well, as an important piece of information, two x22 missiles, more precisely kha-22, arrived in the dnipro district this night. this was reported by the head of the dnipropetrovsk regional military administration, valentin reznichenko, direct speech the night was a continuous air alarm, it was shot down with rockets, hail and hurricanes, the russian army covered with fire three districts of dnipro , nikopol and kryvorizky in dnipro district two enemy x-22 missiles flew in, the explosion caused a fire, firemen extinguished the flames, information

about the dead and injured is being clarified. well, on tuesday, the general director of the international atomic energy agency, maga terafel grosu, expressed hope that the mission of the organization will be able to visit the zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant occupied by russia in the next few days i continue to consult very actively and intensively with all parties so that this extremely important mission of the mother can take place without further delay in the presence megatey will help to stabilize the situation with nuclear safety and security at the site and reduce the risk of a serious nuclear accident in europe. the mission is expected to take place within the next few days, if the current negotiations are successful - said the general director of megatey , there is real hope that the mission will reach of the zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant it is through the territory controlled by the country and through the contact line that the collision occurred directly, although

russia had a bad attitude to this idea. it is clear that they have his reasons, if a world-class official traveled a-a through the territories occupied by russia without the consent of the ukrainian side, it would be, in its own way , i do not know, a step towards the legitimization of the territories quietly occupied by russia, petro andryushchenko , adviser to the mayor of the city of mariupol, contact us again mr. petre, actually, can we say that with a blow to the administration in donetsk, we are being brought to the court in mariupol, well, most likely it is, because it is all one chain, and they have to get something out of this chain, because well, simply attack yes at the time when the attack on donetsk was carried out. apparently, seven russians were there and owned by this speaker of the state duma and one

of putin's traitors directly responsible for education and at the same time they were there broadcast almost yes there er online broadcast in a test in text regime about the meeting with the common people at that time, and there was such a blow that there is nothing, no one is injured , so it is very strange, really. we think that this is all a trick, including the sub-court near mariupol, to remove all doubts and uh and again to justify the participation of russia directly as arbitrators in this so-called tribunal mr. peter, we understand that the enemy is preparing, possibly, for the annexation of the temporarily occupied territories , please share the information you have, because the entire pseudo-referendum is canceled because the enemy cannot simply hold them but sign some papers regarding the transfer of the territory to the status of occupied by russia, so to speak, and then call it

russian territory, they can try that, however, there is insider information from the inside that today we have as if with nano they were preparing for the referendum, they are careful now they are gathering so-called election commissions of which there should be four for the city of mariupol and they promise people to go to work and pay even 250,000 rubles for this work and she came accordingly, the disarmament from russia is again, and it is not clear why until the 15th of september to enter the borders of the donetsk region. there will be another disruption, the postponement of this pseudo-referendum, but other conversations about other ways of connecting, in particular, the annexation of the donetsk region to russia are not

discussed, and in principle, well, in general, there is an interesting situation as it unfolds regarding annexations and the relationship between russia and their er, these quasi-republics, we are in in the form of the so-called dpr, that's why the people of yerevan want to join russia as soon as possible, but we don't see something that russia was in a hurry to annex them and take them under its wing, that's why there are constant updates of the dates regarding the pseudo-referendums, but again, i say yes about there are no other ways yet. but we understand that plan b, even in russia, always has something to do with it. and it depends most likely because of the situation on the front line. sometimes you don’t have any information about what happened that night in occupied donetsk. there are reports about that something was exploding there, yes, it was exploding, there was another one on one side, another was pampered on the other side at night, from the

middle, again from donetsk, behind the residential buildings, they struck our positions , positions, using arsena, so at first there was cotton then was, that is, today we have to wait again for some reports that donetsk was shelled . yes, from one side to the other side ago, but when we constantly record the same thing and you already know. we understand that it hits very precisely there, that's why the people of donetsk are trying to cover up all these mega-attacks by the fact that from one district to another there is a change, even by themselves, that's why it's somehow like that thank you, mr. petar, petro and shinku councilor of the mayor of mariupol worked live on the espresso tv channel, let's move on today is the festive

solemn broadcast of the espresso tv channel, of course, with an adjustment for the war, so there is nothing to be too happy about. 00 in the morning we will have a traditional daily minute of silence. and i would like to add a little optimism to us by quoting the minister of defense of ukraine oleksiy reznikov, who gave comments to cnn and noted in them that we are at the stage of stabilization of the entire field, the combatant of the front line with the help of a small room of units, and we spent a lot of good deterrents there, said the minister, and varshikov believes that ukraine is on the threshold of a new stage of the war, having started its contour offensive campaign in a different direction, the minister with fatigue syndrome in the international community is one of of the main threats in the fight against russia, he also noted that

it looks like the worst scenario of the war is already over, will military expert serhii zgurets from defense express agree with this, he is already in touch with us and we will ask mr. sergius. glory to ukraine, happy independence day. i congratulate you on independence day. this is our important, extremely important holiday. how can we decipher what the minister of defense, mr. reznikov, said is about the stabilization of our positions, in particular. as far as i understand, it also follows from this that the enemy well, he lost his offensive capabilities. the main question is how far we have these capabilities. well, if we are talking about the front line, which is long enough , it is more than there, uh, thousands of kilometers, then the main clashes and further e-e take place in the

e-e zone of donetsk bakhmute, that is, the direction where the enemy is trying to push through the defenses with the use of artillery, but these are not so much insignificant areas of the front that are there, the length of which is measured there to at least 10 km, that is, against the background of the entire front line we can really talk about a certain stabilization in the formation of the front line, this is what actually distinguishes the current situation from the first stage of the war, when the enemy tried to act from many directions, then when he concentrated directly on only on in the east in the second stage now we are really talking about a certain er stabilization er at the same time, we understand that this stabilization is quite shaky because on the one hand the russians do not have enough opportunities to transfer these individual tactical success in

operational or strategic e-e breakthroughs in view of the lack of manpower and the exhaustion of e-e certain types of weapons, our situation is different. we have enough personnel to carry out the closest and offensive operations, but we again we are still waiting for a sufficient reinforcement of weapons, these are challenges until now, i remain because when we talk about contour offensive actions in such a standard format, then we need more offensive weapons, in particular about non-techniques, if we are talking about counteroffensive actions in the format of such a montage of exhausting the enemy in the south, where we operate in the format of cutting logistical routes, this can also be considered one of the forms of pushing the russians to our former territory, and this can also be considered a variant of the counter-petroleum that says there are different times when there really is a challenge, relatively speaking, to western countries, but i think that this thesis is probably

exaggerated because the united states and european countries are beginning to realize more that any concessions by the russian federation and freezing in some phase of the war at the current stage, it only creates the prerequisites for a new active phase after a certain period of time, and i repeat, the united states and the europeans also understand this. to be honest . that the united states is preparing today to announce an additional package of military aid in the amount of 3 billion dollars, and uh, this money will be directed to training and equipping the ukrainian forces, uh, if we are talking about such a rather weighty package of 3 billion dollars - it's a lot, actually, what in your opinion, it

should now enter there so that we can really talk about the stabilization of the situation at the front and in the nearest foreseeable future move to the readiness of the armed forces of ukraine to introduce counter -offensive actions on a larger scale than this what is happening right now is the amount of aid in the amount of 3 billion , this will be the largest package because last week we talked about a package of 1 billion dollars, then 755 , now it is 3 billion, that is, the rate of receipt of military aid, we see is quite impressive in the previous packages, the main emphasis was made on the munitions component, starting from the system breathes mercs management for the lakhaemer artillery artillery samples of tank vehicles now i think that this logic will be continued because the need for artillery ammunition remains i think that we will get there

as well as additional projectiles and hypers, but the fact that this is not uh, at least three times more than the package last week, i think that the dynamics of uh, this assistance can really be directed to the preparation for conducting active counteroffensive actions nominal equipment is really needed. we need anti-aircraft defense equipment that ensures the actions of our units on the field. both are tactical anti-aircraft defense. i think the number of tanks will also be increased. that is, it is also, which allows us to ensure just such offensive actions, i think that we may reach american tanks and bmps, maybe it will not be in this package, but in the london-lease format, such supplies are simply necessary, because the main thing is still

for us there is a lack of artillery because, in view of the fact that it is not our losses and the non-exhaustion of the resources of the barrels of those grammarians, the supply of artillery remains relevant and this is precisely an important factor in the stabilization of the front line in view of the nature of the hostilities, which is characterized by the fact that our current war the russian federation, well, the united states, in any case, is sending us a new batch of military aid, and the pentagon even showed how it is loaded into planes from a military base , and this time the pentagon, so to speak, delicately kept silent about what exactly is in the containers, here is the direct speech of the head of the pentagon, austin, the work continues it never stops our servicemen work around the clock so that ukrainians will definitely have the necessary equipment to protect ukraine well, today the united states is planning to announce an additional package of military aid worth 3 billion

dollars but the key question so what we have now because the war has been going on for six months so the cotton in the crimea has only started to grow in the near future according to what we understand some very cunning and powerful drones have arrived maybe something else if you are not hinting at the use of only drones and i think that this is only part of the means of influence on the russian federation in the territory of the operational rear and deep rear , in particular in the same crimea in the south. that is , as we see, a comprehensive approach is used there where you will work and the unit is special operations and means of impression. and the fact that the nature of the destruction, the reasons for the destruction of the m-m and

the methods of the destruction of the russian aviation in crimea still remain mysterious, i actually think that it is actually a positive factor because it is like adds even more uncertainty to the aggressor as to exactly how and where exactly their objects can be destroyed . as for drones directly, then indeed. and in the list of the most mysterious e-e weapons systems, there are these unmanned aerial vehicles that have er, a significant flight duration is equipped there with powerful combat units, but these drones. by the way, at least 600 samples are transferred to the largest number there, if we take into account the previous packages of american aid, but never once did the infertiles fall into the lenses of the er image cameras, which tells about the fact that the ukrainian side uses them effectively enough, keeping secrets. by the way, the integrated spokesman also spoke about the fact that fanning humanity is used effectively, and this is precisely a

sign that there is complete understanding between ukrainians by the americans regarding the formation of new tactics for the use of new weapons well, we understand that drones can fly not only to the crimea, and we understand that the military facilities of the russian federation are located somewhere near moscow. gathered by craftsmen somewhere near kyiv, it will happen somewhere in the russian hinterland, but now we are primarily talking about the destruction of targets that have direct military significance the destruction of air defense facilities and the creation of political and military prerequisites for changing the character of charity on the battlefield, this is

actually happening because when various people say about stabilizing the levels of the front, i will repeat myself in part . this is true and the arrival of tank systems and technological samples this is the asymmetric approach that we can really change the situation on the battlefield because one-on-one trying to try to have the same number of valerii as in the russian federation or trying to have such a number of tanks is is not appropriate, what is important is the use of new technological approaches to gain an advantage on the battlefield, i agree with you, mr. serhiy, well, in any case, let's hope that the enemy will be able to push away the energy gift as soon as possible to your surroundings."

well, actually creating military prerequisites is quite a difficult task, and the strategy of ousting the russians from these objects must be combined with the general plans for the liberation of the south of our country. thank you serhiy for the always high-quality analysis . defense express was in touch with us. literally in 30 seconds we will have a daily traditional minute of silence for all those who died in the russian-ukrainian war, and we will remind you that today is the 31st anniversary of the restoration of ukrainian

independence, exactly six months since we have been fighting on a large scale with the russian rush and we do it considering everything successfully as far as the circumstances allow and how much the world helps us and the victory of our soldiers. citizens of ukraine who are for
