after all, the lives of millions of people are on the horse, i don't want to be misunderstood, obviously i dream of returning to our borders in 1991, according to the mayor of odessa, ukraine must negotiate step by step, gradually seek compromises with russia and avoid confrontation in this war, we must follow the path of the negotiations, trukhanov said that russian president putin did not give up his plans to seize odessa because, in his opinion, he is obsessed with this city , he believes that the fate of kharkiv will not repeat itself, because putin wants to take it whole, well, the president zelenskyi has actually already responded to such applications, in particular, from the side of trukhano, but russia is literally not ready for negotiations, they have no desire to have them, our president said, and our colleagues from svoboda

sonshchyna radio announce that the group's counteroffensive can break through the first line of defense, and ukrainian politicians they are hinting at good news from the front soon, what is it about the occupied zaporizhzhia npp , a mega mission is being sent, it is made up of representatives of states neutral to russia, what does this mean, and will international experts be able to to guarantee safety at the largest nuclear power plant in europe, attempt number two, the media report on the murder of the former ukrainian people's deputy and representative of the so-called government of the occupied kherson oblast, oleksiy kovalev, who is behind the alleged murder, about this in svoboda life. congratulations, this is freedom, my name is vlasta lazur, we pray on the pages of the radio svoboda on facebook and youtube, as well as on the air of the espresso tv channel, in the armed forces of ukraine announced the

beginning of the offensive in the kherson region in the operational group of kakhovka troops reported that ukrainian forces broke through the first line of defense of the russian troops near kherson. it is claimed that the 109th regiment of the so-called dpr withdrew from its positions in the kherson region and the russian paratroopers who were supporting them fled the battlefield . offensive of ukrainian forces well, on the clip of messages about the probable counteroffensive, ukrainian high-ranking officials make appropriate hints of notes , for example, today, andriy yarmak, the head of the office our kherson radio svoboda wrote in front of the president in his telegram that he received a comment from the operational command of the south on this topic , listen, the battles are ongoing, we are advancing according to the plan we have drawn up for ourselves, our situation is quite difficult at the moment, it is in our operational

zone, it is meant it is changing dynamically. because, er, we aim to implement all these plans that have been asked of us for a long time, including the residents of the occupied territories, but we are aware that the enemy, the enemy is prepared, has withdrawn its reserves but the actions are being implemented and we hope that very soon we will have very good news, and the weapons that our western partners handed over - this is help to the armed forces of ukraine, a significant help in realizing their capabilities and capacities, and this is what we lacked and there is still a need for this volume we are ready for new deliveries. let our allies and partners send us even more weapons, that is, we have boys and girls ready to implement everything that has already boiled over in our hearts, but only if there are

more weapons. now to the topic of a possible counteroffensive. we today we will definitely come back again, in particular, this is really the counteroffensive that they have been talking about for the last few months. is this still a demonstration of intentions , but there is another news from the kherson region. several publications, referring to their sources, reported that the people's deputy of ukraine, oleksiy kovalev, was killed in the kherson region, who after a full-scale of the russian invasion, he sided with russia and even joined the occupying so-called government of the kherson region , for example, there is no official confirmation from the ukrainian side, but just a few minutes ago, the russian investigative committee confirmed the murder of kovalev, they reported that he died from a firearm. well , i will remind you that the information that appeared about kovalev's death was very different from yesterday. well, for example, the adviser to the head of the ministry of internal affairs, anton gerashchenko , stated that he went to kovalev's house naked unknown persons penetrated the pier and inflicted numerous stab

wounds on him and his wife. gerashchenko also claimed that kovalev died immediately and his wife later in the hospital. well, in his turn, for example, serhii khlanetsa, adviser to the head of kherson attention stated that kovalev was probably killed in zaliznyi port. and this is a settlement as much as 50 km from hola prystan, where kovalev's house is actually located. this is not the first attempt. regarding the murder of kovalev, on june 22 in the city of hola prystan, his car was blown up, then the head of ukrainian military intelligence kyrylo budanov confirmed that certain actions were carried out in relation to kovalev, as he said at the time. however, later it became known that kovalev survived, and in his comments about the kremlin media, he then declared about the sabotage of the ukrainian special services. what happened this time, we let's definitely talk now. i'll just remind you that in 2019 oleksiy ko entered the verkhovna rada as a majority deputy from the servant of the people party, he won in district 186 - this is the city of gola prystan and several districts of the kherson region. well, according to radio svoboda, his appearance in the list

of candidates for the majority of the presidential party, kovalev was indebted to the chernivtsi businessman lyupavlyuk, who is called the shadow curator of the monomajority, according to the sources of radio svoboda, it was pavlyuk who was engaged in the selection of candidates for the servant of the people in odesa, mykolaiv and kherson regions well, now about what actually happened to oleksiy kovalev and what caused his death who is behind this and as i already said the ukrainian side has not yet confirmed his murder with us in communication serhiy nikitenko , the editor-in-chief of the publication most is a kherson well-known publication, my greetings to sergey well, what do you think, if i see that the russian side has officially confirmed the investigative committee, then it probably happened yes well, in principle, it was already late yesterday in the evening and we received confirmation from the local residents of prystan, who told us that i will indeed be at kovalev's house, there is

a huge number of military uh, well, the russian forces are conducting some kind of search for someone , that is, it became clear that everything happened in prystan this assassination attempt, which the occupiers were talking about even in the evening. who do you think could be behind this murder, because there are different versions? some say it was ukrainian partisans . a farmer, an entrepreneur. maybe he just crossed someone's path and, so to speak, to quench his appetite, they decided to blossom with him, as we said, he was a farmer, his main field, uh, well, his business was related to illegal or semi-legal ownership of state land in fact, he made his fortune by

initially helping large landowners to dig up state land through gray schemes due to collusion with the geocadastrian, and then he began to squeeze this land himself literally 10 and a half years ago even squeezed out the caution zone in the neighboring village of old zbur'ivka, well, that is, i am saying this so that you understand that a huge number of people were generally dissatisfied with his activities, eh. settle accounts old accounts well, please tell me, because for example, i see what the deputy chairman of the kherson regional council, yuriy sobolevskyi, reported about the fact that they are allegedly preparing some inspections in the bare prystan, whether it is filtering camps or simply

checks. perhaps in this way they are looking for those who could be involved in the murder. in principle, the search was going. the search for those who planned it was going. and i understand that yesterday, starting from the evening and the morning, but it was difficult during the day. to say that in the kherson region it is possible. as you know, today there were interruptions with light and communication, that is, until the end , we still do not know what happened from the port of prystan, well, the only thing they will say is that it is very difficult to search there, because it is a city that is located right on the river on the that is, there are so many rivers of chayka konuki dnieper that is, it is very easy to hide there in the flood plains. i hope that if it was the partisans, they managed to hide very easily in the plan. understood. well, let's talk about the events in kherson itself, and in kherson i will ask you ah, you probably heard the news today about the fact that a counteroffensive is about to begin there

. please tell me, please, that something is known about this in kherson. perhaps you are communicating with your sources and informants there. very learned starting from the evening, throughout the night and in the morning, there were numerous flights over kherson around kherson, and these were very point flights, again over the bridges, we know that in the morning, the railway bridge in the antonivka area was completely destroyed. the city of dariv was attacked by it, several russian barracks would have been hit both in kherson itself and in nova kakhovka in kakhovka in the boryslav district, that is, er, well, it was very clever, i understand that it is er, well preparation for something serious, that is, there are

signs that something like this is happening, and they have heard that almost all residents of the right bank of kherson oblast have understood you exactly . preparation for the so-called referendum, because, for example, in zaporizhzhia and mariupol, i had to read comments that they were pushing to prepare as soon as possible for a pseudo-referendum. i understand that already on september 11, as they planned to hold will it be possible at all, the question is whether it will be possible at all. well, the russians have already admitted very carefully at first, and then, let's say, directly said that they will have to endure. it is clear that the russians themselves, who are the curators of the occupied territories there or who rule this country as terrorists , do not know about it. they say they don't say anything at all about the

referendum, almost everything is said by their proxy eyes, our collaborators, and even they have already announced that the referendum will have to be postponed, they don't have a new specific reason for this, they say that the population of the kherson region is not yet ready for the referendum, well , it was probably ready in may, now something has happened, it is not ready, that is why it is being postponed . as a result, he had some hopes in them and the balance was either really sick or he just had some kind of political disease, that is, he had people on whom they could rely, who perhaps knew the regions well and knew how to somehow convince people who

maybe they doubted that these people are not among them now, well , i have the opinion that the russians were deceived, well , they thought that the balance really has some weight in kherson, there in the kherson region, which has some authority. maybe something there will be able to organize some work, but all this was well, there is no hope because the balance is not the kind of person who eats it up. yes, he is more into schemes for kickbacks and so on, so it is clear that everything he did in this position of gauleiter for five months was connected precisely with trying to make money that's why, that's why most likely the referendum did not take place on the balance, let's say he helped ukraine, er, to fail his preparation, well, his merit here is significant, very precisely, he is probably very much about it serhii nikitenko, the editor-in-chief of the kherson edition, the bridge was on radio svoboda well

, we will talk about the situation in the south, in particular, in the kherson region further with the military expert, contact us roman svitan, colonel of the reserve of the armed forces of ukraine, we are your greetings, i will start with what we started with in the operational group of the hovka troops, they reported that the ukrainian forces broke through the first line of the defense of russian troops near kherson, please explain to people who are not related to the military what it means to have broken through the first line of defense in the mountains . platoon support points that are located along the so-called front line, in principle, they are recognized as the front line itself behind the platoon

support points of the first front line. there is more the second, the third, and depending on it, i will repeat it once more to the depth, eh, there may be several eh, the breakthrough of the first front line indicates only that some lobs, eh, abandoned their fortifications and moved to the second front line, if there was no cascading collapse until the data in the cascading collapse of the front line, there is no, that is, it is in the gradual breakthrough of the first and second third, so far it is possible to talk only about the counter-offensive actions carried out by the ukrainian army during the month practically on the kherson front, it is possible to say so in fate of the entire 300-kilometer front line on the right bank of ukraine. in some places, they brought positive results. well, here is the host son jam

shut, referring to his sources in american intelligence. he reported that the ukrainian army had begun a probing operation, that's how he wrote the probing of the front line on in the southern direction in front of the great counterattack, can you also explain what probing in front of the great counterattack means? the ukrainian army, consisting of approximately er-er native tactical groups, begin er-er conducts er-er counter-offensive actions in order to determine the points of resistance, determine the firing points of the enemy and, in principle, after that start to overcome them, this kind of action practically began along the entire line of this 300 km of the right-bank front from kherson to, well, in the direction

of nikolaev, in some sections there are indeed positive moments from what is already confirmed. and it is necessary to use the information only confirmed by the general staff of the ministry of defense, or uh, according to the directions uh, in which it reports, there is already confirmed uh , the force of dry ponds, this just says that this direction is now uh, one of the priority information, i also saw this information, and then i saw that it was refuted by the bet, there is information about what the ukrainian army took for him, that is, he, er, moved to a dry bet, er, under our legal one, and in principle, this is what he says , just er, the southern ford district - this the direction from andreevka across the dry pond she

berislav explain this happened just now, you say that along the entire front line and operations are underway to prepare for a counteroffensive i mean recently there were explosions in the crimea is it somehow related or could these explosions and attacks have been on the crimean military bases in preparation for a counteroffensive in the kherson region, what has been happening in crimea for the last few weeks is preparation for the complete deoccupation of ukraine, since crimea is practically unsinkable by mavianos, there are very many military bases and this is a large logistics hub for servicemen of the russian federation, so it is correct that the ukrainian command made a decision in order to

somehow extinguish this hub with such actions. well, it is still in use, it is necessary to knock out the crimean bridge , stop it to him moving then crimea we will not see how one of the centers of the concentration of the russian federation army under the shelling of crimea is really a precursor to the actions that are now taking place in the kherson area, apparently we will be naive if we assume that the russian army will simply sit back and watch how the counteroffensive and the return of the territory take place. please tell me at the expense of what and in what way they will now try to hold the captured territories and what resources they have for this in order to keep the captured territories, human resources are needed, and if there are people who are now on the right network, they will not be enough, for sure any military officer from the rank of

major and graduated with the rank of pri- perfectly understanding of the fifth military action video card, he realizes that almost all of this right-bank grouping is doomed after three bridges were taken out, even by yesterday's shelling, and the barge bridge that was built parallel to the antonov bridge was also taken out of formation, one of the hymers fell into the landing stage, this is a floating pier that также вела, and this crossing line, almost the entire right-wing grouping, the right- banking grouping of the roshists now remains without replenishment without replenishment by personal exhibitions munitions and without control because, er, also at night, the attack on kakhovka in one of the army bases also brought out the formation and control as such of almost the entire group, by the way, er, it can be and it affected the fact that they sprinkle, well, in one or not and how then to liberate the

left bank, for example. well, conditionally. if now the bridges become incapable of transporting personnel or equipment there, if it is a gesture of goodwill or as a result of some other actions of the ukrainian army, russian forces will leave the right bank of the dnieper in particular, they will leave the right bank of the kherson region, how can they be knocked out from the left bank? what is easier than the case is that after they leave or we will destroy them, most likely the second, they will not leave and we will have to destroy eh on the right bank, our art will practically fit to the right bank of the dnieper and it will reach eh up to 40 km in the stupid left-wing groupings, it will reach eh 155 arta natovskoe well, and to a depth of 70-80 km, hymers will be perfectly reached, then almost the entire left-hand grouping with a width of about 70 km from zaporozhye and before the entrance to crimea it will be shot through if it is talking about the sides, fight and defeat the left-wing grouping from the side of the ukrainian artillery troops, it

will be much easier to hold the right bank, after this it will be the troops transferred from the right bank to the left evaiska, why are they they can be transferred to the region of zaporozhye and higher up the dnieper from zaporozhye in any place of practical coups to the left bank and, in principle, further movement from the side of the walnut leyfield to the south in the direction of melitopol начнёт е-э особождат начнётся особенностия левого берега ukraine please tell me how literally today british intelligence in its latest report reported that russian defense minister sergei shoigu allegedly had

some problems in relations with putin that putin no longer likes him trusts fell out of favor with him a-a do you, i understand that we do not have access to the office to putin's offices, but when british intelligence reports this, does it somehow become noticeable a-a on the battlefield yes yes after eh, the supreme commander-in-chief removes from his post or it moves away from the management of the commander eh, who is also the minister of defense, this is immediately felt on the field fighting because eh, the management of the troops, eh, it is felt, that is, who manages the troops, either the old one or the new one means now, the information from the field goes almost parallel, and the commanders send it to the commanding officer, they report to putin as well, that is, after what is going on, the general staff reports directly to putin. well, he started to interfere. e in

this process is noticeable even not only on the battlefield by the russians themselves, but it is also invisible to us, since , in principle, any military general understands the right-wing grouping, that it has now fallen into the fire pit almost after the main lines were gone, and in in principle, any military general would accept the decision to either strengthen the right-bank grouping, no matter what, and if there is nothing to populate, it means that the right-bank grouping needs to be urgently taken out of russia to the left bank by any means, even to play a, because it's not done, it means some political moment, and by the way, he noticed, uh, that putin was reduced to the planning and actions of the military. putin's actions will translate into the complete destruction of this group. well, we will bury 25,000

russians. pravda league. please tell me, and you, as an expert, undertake to predict as of today when the kherson region can be liberated. armed, it is necessary, it is necessary to give, give due to our partner, say a big thank you, indeed, these are the actions that we are already beginning to observe on the parallel coast, this just speaks of the strengthening, and this is clearly visible, the strengthening of the supplies of weapons and new weapons, by the way, which have entered the last time and in principle at such rates, we will decide on the right bank issue at least on the right berezhnaya grouping of the russian month, it will be enough to destroy it, by the way, we have the same question when kherson can be liberated put our viewers on youtube, because who

watches us on youtube, come and answer, then we'll see, thank you very much for your comment. roman svitan, a colonel of the reserve of the armed forces of ukraine, was on radio svoboda. well, on to the events in the donetsk region . literally in the past day, russian forces shelled 12 settlements of the donetsk region, for example, in bahmut, a public transport stop was hit, there are victims. this was reported to the regional police, and today, just two hours ago, russian troops also shelled sloviansk. information about the victims and dead are being clarified, this is already being transmitted by radio liberty correspondents who work in the city, and now we are in touch with the correspondent maryan kushnir, who is also in the donbas, maryana. my greetings. i know that you also visited the positions of the ukrainian military as a soldier please tell me what is happening there. i welcome you there. well, in the end, it is worth talking about the fact that the

initiative is currently in the hands of the armed forces of ukraine, and they are successfully using the weapons they have with the support of foreign weapons, and this allows to reduce the pace of russian attacks, despite the fact that russian troops are trying to storm and today we witnessed how russian troops tried in small groups to come to the positions of the armed forces of ukraine under the cover of artillery however, ukrainian troops used mortars at the same time, despite the fact that they use weapons they are preparing for their defense, i.e. they are strengthening their positions. i will also talk about the fact that the ukrainian troops have not yet gone there . in fact, they are improving their tactical positions and where it all happens, where there are some such small local tactical advantages, it is still too early to talk about it, they say that oh, it is very simply explained by the fact that war loves silence. this is a message

for those, as they say, on the unofficial pages of the criminal headquarters, and in particular it is still hot in this area with a heat carrier. but again, if you compare what happened a month ago in this area, the concentration of artillery was many times higher, but now there is no such concentration and that's all this is primarily due to the fact that the armed forces use drones to adjust fire and use artillery accurately, and 120 mm mortars and 82 mm mortars, this allows us to really repel the russian armed forces from the positions they are trying to occupy from generally knocking out any intentions to create offensive actions, that is, they try them in small groups, but they do not succeed, therefore, the armed forces currently remain on those that were previously fixed, and also improved tactical positions and

at the moment they are firing from there to hold back the approaches of the russian army. maryan thank you very much. maryan kushnir works in the donetsk region. well, now kharkiv one person was injured during the morning shelling of the city, private private areas of the city and also correspondents of radio liberty who working in kharkiv filmed the consequences of the shelling of the city, let's see , two rockets flew from one side, immediately from the other side of the movement, one of the rockets flew there, and the first one flew, the only good thing is that it is not a caliber and 300, that is, it has much less destructive force , we have no victims thank god it broke through an awning in

several cities, the metal structure bent a little and here is a fragment of something, a plate of some kind, it fell and broke through two plates of two 10 mm each, plus a pallet. and yesterday around 8:00 am: 00:00 p.m. russian rockets hit the central part of the city of kharkiv again, one of the rockets hit in front of the building of the kharkiv regional military administration, and the second rocket hit another administrative building behind it, which was very significantly affected by this explosion at the place there are no incidents of dead or injured persons already today around seven o'clock in the morning, also the russian army has already shelled private e.
