they don't understand anything, but here are these testimonies about torture about beatings about abuse in filtration camps, but how do people die there, who are they killed, how do they disappear somewhere, it will all be recorded and that's what the latvian prosecutors are doing now, this is what they will do i think other prosecutors too and let them do it, because it will all be piled up on the table of the judges in the hague and this empire. this aggressor, led by putin, will be given a fair, harsh but correct sentence. i thank you for being with us. i say goodbye until the day after tomorrow. colleagues from the ukrainian editorial office of bbc news are watching together. good evening. we are from ukraine on the air of bbc news ukraine. olga

palamaryuk is working in the london studio and today we are talking about this. mariupol stamps of propaganda and the death of prisoners in the deer park and from the azov regiment spoke with bbc correspondents and the story of a family that earns money from the war but wants peace an exclusive bbc interview with the baraktar brothers zaporizhzhia npp has been reconnected to the power grid currently, the plant produces electricity for the needs of ukraine, the spent nuclear fuel storage also works stably and safely. this was reported by energoatom. as a reminder, the day before, the nuclear power plant was completely disconnected from

the network for the first time in its history. this happened due to fires that occurred as a result of shelling. assured that the organization's secretariat supports any mission if it goes to the station from kyiv, i.e. through the territory controlled by the ukrainian government the russians, who control wasps in the ministry of energy, are against this, they predict that the visit will take place already next week and what is known about the situation at the zaporizhzhia npp, we will ask my colleague victoria zhugan, she is on a direct line from kyiv avito good evening, so tell me how you managed to restore the operation of the main lines and what is known about the situation at the station as of now, i will probably start the answers with the fact that we do not have access to the zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, primarily because it is occupied by the russian army. secondly, nuclear facilities are generally not something that

journalists can usually independently confirm , and we do not have the competence for this, so what we know are the official statements of ukrainian engineers of energoatom and i guess i will start my answer with a quote from energoatom today to the question of how it was possible to restore it, i quote the zaporizhia nuclear power plant , the real heroes, i remind you that ukrainian engineers work under the conditions of russian occupation, as they told the bbc that they were being held at gunpoint, which we also learned today, yesterday, august 25, megatep informed about the restoration of power supply today around 14:00 it became known that the sixth power unit has already been connected to the power system for this purpose ukrainian engineers managed to repair two lines of the power grid that feed the zaporizhia nuclear power plant. i will remind you that

there were four of them before yesterday information about the fact that three of the four were first affected by shelling, and then problems began with the fourth. and why exactly? the lack of electricity is critical for such a zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant. what risks does its absence carry? well, in general, experts say that any nuclear power plant cannot work completely in autonomous mode. why, because even if the nuclear power plant is turned off and does not work, electricity is still needed for the pumps to work, for the cooling system and the security system to work, what does this mean? that usually a nuclear power plant, like zaporizhia, has its own spare power supply units, generators, etc., they can ensure the operation of a nuclear power plant autonomously for a certain time generators and now open the question how much

fuel does the russian army have to ensure the operation of the zaporizhzhia npp, and experts with whom the bbc communicates usually say that if the reactor is working, after it has lost access to any power supply, the engineers have hours to prevent a disaster it is about the fact that the fuel itself can start to melt. well, in the end, if you look specifically at the nuclear power plant, there is another problem not only in the reactors, but also in the fact that nuclear waste is stored next to them. and here is such data that there is more fuel than in the reactors themselves, and i will remind you that there are six. thanks vito. this was the bbc correspondent victoria shugan, and the situation at the zaporizhzhia npp has already been discussed twice by red without the un. president zelenskyi calls the actions of the kremlin nuclear blackmail and calls for international pressure, pressure that would force the russians to leave immediately the territory of the station, according

to him, russia has put ukraine and all europeans in a situation one step away from a radiation disaster, more in the story and bbc correspondent gareth barlow zaporizhzhia npp is the largest in europe the nuclear power plant in the epicenter of the war on the eve of the first time in its entire history. it was disconnected from the power grid of ukraine. this happened after a fire. what damaged the power cable? experts warned about the consequences and threats to the safety of both the station and the planet . which power outage could potentially cause a large-scale crisis at the facility.”

all parties agree on the necessary inspection of the international agency for atomic energy under the auspices of the un contact, we are in constant contact with national ukrainian regulators,

ukrainian operators and, of course, with russia, since it controls the station, i was in particular in istanbul, where i negotiated with the russian side about the terms of the visit, the director general, megathera raphael grussi, says that he will personally lead the delegation to ukraine. she can to go to the gas station in the coming days, until then, ukraine and the whole world can only hope that the gas station will function normally and the dangerous situation that arose on thursday will not the armed forces of ukraine will repeat another attack on the antoniv bridge in russian-occupied kherson member of parliament from dnipro andriy mysyagin released a video showing strong explosions by zygodans, this time they managed to break through the entire span of the crossing, the operational command of the south promised to tell about the strike later, as the russian mass media write with reference the occupation authorities of the kherson region suffered no damage from the strikes. the first

strike of the armed forces of ukraine on the antoniv bridge took place on july 19. and then it was repeated again, and the local occupation the authorities announced the forced closure of the antonov bridge crossing, a strategic facility that allows the russians to supply weapons to their group of troops on the right bank of the dnieper . on the right bank of the dnieper in the kherson region, the operation of this bridge is currently stopped. this bridge is the only transport artery of supply to kherson along the right bank of the dnieper from kakhovka. the strikes of the ukrainian military on such strategic objects take place, in particular, thanks to western weapons. currently, the armed forces of ukraine have more than two dozen high

mars m270 and mars multiple rocket systems. that changes the course of the war, they are called the eyes of the military and it is they who help the ukrainian army to develop along the entire front line, drones at the beginning of the russian invasion, ukraine had about 20 of barractar tb-2 unmanned aerial vehicles later the baykar company agreed to send additional ones. and the ukrainians even organized an action called the people's bayraktar and in three days collected uah 600 million for four drones, and the company producing drones announced that it would send three drones to ukraine, on which they collected money from ukrainians for free, to the turkish drones . russian president putin even talked about building his own factory for the production of drones and whether the turks are ready to cooperate with the russians my colleague ferumerov already went to turkey, where he met with

the owners, the berektar brothers. in fact, bayraktar is your last name. the war with russia, a video of baryakhtars destroying russian military equipment spread all over the world, world changes call turkish drones legends and write that bayraktars have already changed the course of several soldiers , unmanned aerial vehicles provide an advantage to a certain extent, changing the rules of the game for these drones for ukraine, all of ukraine, they collected funds in poland, lithuania

, and in ukraine itself, the bayraktar brothers decided to hand over the drones for free and send the collected millions of dollars to help ukrainians, the word bayraktar became part of of the popular culture of ukraine, the song about bairaktars has gained millions of views on the internet in ukraine pets and even children are named after firewood and critics call it an unprecedented advertising campaign as a weapon, our goal and priority in such difficult times is to provide support to ukraine, not commercial activity, this is what we are fighting for, it was never based on the desire to become very rich, we have always set ourselves a noble goal. so who are these brothers? bayraktar and where is the line between commercial interest and the struggle for peace points 1c with the bayraktar brothers we met in

their office in istanbul the territory is more like a technical university campus and not a company where they make military drones at the entrance for employees, there are many books about the history of the ottoman empire and how to properly make a shack for us bayraktar older brother and general director of the company selchuk bayraktar technical director what is his name architect drones bayraktar formed a very small team with my father's own savings biker is more like a family, this is a place where people call each other brother and sister. we have a fairly young team. i am like a brother to them, and my father was to we are the older brother, the love of aviation was instilled in the brothers by their father, ozdemir bayraktar, he was

an amateur pilot. and in 1984, he created a company for the production of auto parts, baykar matina, in addition to production, ozdemirbaraktar was also actively involved in politics, thanks to which he met the current president of turkey, rajep, and its merdogan . ozdemir taught children from childhood to work side by side with him. we worked a lot in fuel oil and rust. at that time, selchuk was studying at one of the most prestigious lyceums in the country. and you know that both brothers received their education at the best universities turkey and the usa, after completing their studies, the pilots returned to the motherland and started working for their father's company, but this was done 20 years ago, in the early 2000s, the appearance of drones was a paradigm shift in aviation, in the field of aircraft, the latest technologies were tested, so we, as turkey, had to start the development of our aviation from this point

of drones, later the family of dogan and bayraktar became officially related, selchuk married the daughter of the president of turkey at that time, recep tayyip erdogan and the family of perdogan, we got married in 2016 before we have already released the bayraktar mini bayraktar tb-1 and in the early 2000s the unmanned malazgit helicopter, of course, after the wedding, a great responsibility came, because in some sense we opened ourselves up to political criticism after the wedding of silchuk and sumia, many people in turkey asked whether there was a connection with the head of the state became the basis for the prosperity of the family business, the bairaktars sell their drones in more than 20 countries of the world, each worth at least several million dollars, and in august of this year, the brothers announced that all drones

sold out three years in advance, there is no other unmanned aerial vehicle in the world that would prove itself so well in combat, of course, the biggest difference between our drones and others is that they are in the optimal niche both in terms of size and capabilities and flight range, as well as at the price of the byraktar tb-2 is cheaper than similar drones, you need to look at it from the point of view not only of price, but also of efficiency, i think from this point of view it is in an ideal city, did your sales increase after the war in ukraine and actually after the baryakhtars showed their power, of course, the active use of the b2 aircraft in ukraine, which attracted the attention of the whole world, naturally increased sales. it is difficult to name the reason for the increase in demand, but i believe that

it has clearly increased. what kind of ukrainian-made turbines are used, they are higher in class , bigger and faster, but they are not yet available in ukraine byraktar and our beraktar drones are our drones, you know that we have the beginning of joint production and we have jointly produced drones where our engines are used, a huge number of these drones, we use this technology but with all due respect to the byrectors and any technology, i will honestly say that this is a different war, these or other drones can help, but do not affect the result, they may not help affect the result bayraktar tv-2 drone, these drones were used in various conflicts in syria , nagorno-karabakh, and now in ukraine, these conflicts are also united by the fact that moscow was always on the other side, hello, air defense

systems are very modern systems against various air purposes, they are designed not only for the destruction of unmanned aerial vehicles, but also for the destruction of combat aircraft, and sometimes even missiles, and they have been working on improving these systems for many years, in fact, the fact that their air defense systems strike our drones and, on the contrary , that our drones strike their advanced ones is so amazing system, it can be compared to a hunter with a sniper rifle, whose prey was eaten by a lion. to neutralize these air defense systems, our drones are constantly

updated, experts evaluate the effectiveness of bayraktar tb-2 drones in different ways, some of them believe that drones are able to successfully strike only in those wars where the enemy does not have air superiority and strong air defense systems, such as in russia, but even in such conditions, unmanned aerial vehicles can perform more traditional surveillance functions for their class, targeted and developed at the end of july, information appeared in the mass media that president putin also wants to receive bayraktars for its army and start their production in russia, and if moscow offers you a large amount of money, you will also sell them money is not a priority for us with ukraine. our friendship and cooperation have been going on for many years since we were not offered money. to be honest, there is no question about transferring

drones to moscow in this situation during this period, our support is completely on the side of ukraine, because we have a very strong connection and ukraine is experiencing a very unfair, aggressive and unfounded attack, and therefore nothing will overshadow of our cooperation with ukraine, regardless of what amount will be offered, our position on this issue is clear, who still decides to whom to supply military drones, who to shoot at, we continue to be industrial defense, manufactured according to certain legal norms, companies undergo certain checks and cannot decide for themselves what and to whom to sell when the agreement is discussed, the companies turn to the competent authorities of their countries and can export only after receiving permission from them, the export of bayrak taras is carried out in the same way and according to the bayraktar brothers, turkey has its own foreign policy interests. in contracts for the purchase of drones, it is prescribed that customers undertake to use their drones. within the framework of

international law, without violating human rights. these rules are one of the elements of controlling the sale of weapons by the state, and you are a bykar. we do not set any conditions . we only support customers from the technical side in case they have problems using our products is carried out under the supervision of their own bodies in the established by the state it seems that the last word still belongs to ankara, now turkey, which plays a role between ukraine and russia, earns political points in the region so that rectors have a lot of money for their business, of course, war is a very painful thing, people die, i wish there was no need to create military drones, correspondents were talking bbc or the farmer and tetyana yanusevych,

see and read the full interview and material on the website bbc.ua and then there is another important story about the azov regiment, which for three months in mariupoli restrained the advance of the russian of the army, the kremlin threatens to hold a trial against them ukraine considers them to be real heroes president zelenskyy awards the title of hero of ukraine to the squad commander my fellow bbc correspondents spoke with the soldier azov with the call sign tork about the hostilities in the city of mariupol stamps of propaganda about azov and interrogations in captivity see further under the bridge in one boy's head just exploded. well, it was more likely that he was hit by some kind of shooting there. it was heavy. well, how are arbuzykov and everything

in the crimea east? it's all the same, it's even before the war. filled the basement tears, in principle, from the fact that we saw each other and that standard phrase was be mine all the way to the end azov with the call sign traded defended mariupol was wounded captured being wounded eh rather i tend

to avoid it what kind of guarantee is the same guarantee if there was at least some kind of support from the outside, but from my experience i will say that i have never seen the red cross, they are representatives of no one, so if they took care of the guys there, at least they periodically came to them and visited them to check their condition how do they treat them there, well, first of all, i started to hope that it was all fake, some kind of story, that it was just bros, when the video and photos from the scene of the accident were already rushed there, the only thing i hoped was that there were fewer close guys. but it turned out that there were everything in a row eh, maybe it’s just some kind of trump up the sleeve, there’s a ball there. in all seriousness, they went to destroy the guys in fact, there were no interrogations, torture was a little different, these things, the interrogations

were ordinary. let's say so i will try to correct the testimony you gave, part of it was printed before us, and accordingly our slava too. well, of course, they all snorted, and they were not happy when they asked the question . did you bomb civilians? i'm talking about civilians. how are they tuned to the military, which quickly shoved them into basements during the shelling, that is, how many times have we transferred civilians there to hide them because people in a panic just stopped on the street and did not know what did he do with the commandant when he was drunk, he decided that we didn't like you, the statements that i gave to people who came to accept, respectively , all these statements constitute an act, and he decided there to record a video on the phone, how will i somehow, how to say, probably wink at your government or your commanders his command will say tomorrow on the internet in hd everything will be well, this is even before that

, because they took me there, then they took me there, they put a needle in the frame, they stuck it in my leg, well, there they shouted about it, everything is over, everything is fine, the video did not work well, it can be there in the first days when the awareness of a full-scale invasion came, yes, it was understandable that it was not on its own, and then you join the whole movement and simply fulfill your task. first of all , close brothers were killed, and that's how it was . the most painful thing was aa, civil, civil. this was genocide . civilians on the part of the enemy , because the civilian editions of the premises where our positions could not have been a priori were destroyed, and the positions were returned. i got into a fight on a stretcher. i was not lucky. well, i was disappointed that i would stop on the way to buzovaya. well, that was the first thing that was in my head, and i was putting turnstiles on myself. i understood that now i was already without help. well, that is , in fact, all the movements in mariupol that took place. i was healthy. everything was fine. and

just like that, three days before the breakthrough on the screensavers , everything was already closed for they caught me 3 and even the sky then for a small breakthrough back no one knew anything and accordingly, uh, i was confused, i didn't know what was going to happen next, that's exactly what i lost in my head on as far as i know, i put you as nazis in general for all ukrainians, for some reason, again, ah, uh, this is typical, i don’t know. propaganda was russian laughter and in general yes russia. i don’t know. they prepared the ground for their population in order to somehow justify it. then the subsequent actions, here is a full-scale offensive, that is what we are now. in fact, i do not know. you can watch a bunch of videos of what happened last year - this is adequate for the sentiments about the ukrainian city, so people even during the war themselves somehow ran up to us and they said there, here, there, there, the positions of your enemy are located, there, the guys walk around with white stripes. they don’t speak to us

in ukrainian, even some people said, “well, i’m from mariupol, and we don’t have much in common. that’s the way it is with us in my former city.” let's say this, first of all, this is the map of ukraine on the chest, this is the main thing that interested them and pissed them off, probably because there is crimea, there is east, and there they already threatened hysteria, but it didn't come to that. it was infuriating it is possible to say so krym vostok, respectively, everything is in place, it’s even before the war, it was filled with everything, so as the pseudo- patriot said. it smells like nothing, they didn’t ask, it’s unknown to look for a swastika, nazism, or whatever, they fought specifically in russian, they fight specifically in

russian, russians, once that’s the case, russia is a neighboring state, it’s not our state , respectively, they have their own land, we have our own the earth, we stand on the defense of our land, that's a fact. this is our idea, and we defend ourselves, first of all, we didn't start anywhere, we didn't bomb anyone there, so here i don't know any doubts. is again connected to the grid and produces electricity for the needs of ukraine, energoatom reported this today, it stated that the nuclear workers of the zaporizhzhia npp are real heroes, the international atomic energy agency megatet also confirmed that the npp has restored connection to the grid for this purpose, ukrenergo restored the operation of two main lines damaged by russian shelling, the restoration of stable power supply to the nuclear power plant is the key to the safe operation of the plant, because no nuclear power plant can work completely autonomously

, nuclear energy safety experts repeatedly stated that on the eve of the nuclear power plant, for the first time in its history, the nuclear power plant was completely disconnected from the network due to fires that it was visible even from the satellite and that's all for today. i have more information as usual on our website bbc.ua and on our social media pages. again on the air on monday at 9:00 p.m. take care, dear ukraine, you know that in us everything will be the way we want it everything will be very common everything will be everywhere everything will work everything will be blue and yellow everything will be
