there will be more summers and septembers - no, october, the elephant, we will still have time to warm up. thank you vasyl. thank you very much. this is didenko for the information about the weather. well , i have literally 20 seconds left. thank you for being with us tomorrow at 11:15. i invite you to my broadcasts in the worldview program. to talk about very important things regarding the statements of the pope and the godfathers of the ukrainian orthodox church of the moscow patriarchate in ukraine, be 11-15 with espresso, don't take care, all the best , see you tomorrow and now for your attention issue news from my colleagues from the ukrainian editorial office of bbc news, let's watch together good evening we are from ukraine, what is known about the counteroffensive in the south and also about the visit of the zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant store 187th open day of the russian war on the air oatmeal ukraine in the studio this week olga melchevska blinker

inspector went to the zaporizhzhia npp how they will secure the largest nuclear power plant in europe, the ukrainian breakthrough of the armed forces, they report on the counteroffensive in the kherson region, how ukrainian and western experts see the distribution of forces and the operation retribution canadian historian investigated how russian propaganda uses the methods of the soviet kdb and how to deal with it international agency locations amid the fog of energy the magat is going to ukraine experts intend to go to occupied russia to the zaporizhzhia npp and check the safety of its work led by a delegation of 13 representatives of the agency own himself, the head of the

magat, rafael grossi. he even published flowers from the photo of his team, which shows his readiness to go to the station. this day, the mission of support and assistance has already arrived on the way to zaporizhzhia, he wrote money we must guarantee the safety of the largest nuclear facility in ukraine and europe from the end of the quote russia has stated that it is ready to guarantee safety for inspectors but is not ready to discuss the demilitarization of the territory, meanwhile, the national regulator of nuclear energy of ukraine, energoatom, warns of intimidation of the ukrainian staff of the station on the eve of an international visit so that they say did not tell foreign experts more about the visit of the international mission in the material of the bbc correspondent higuchage.

and this may mean an escalation of the crisis in the sphere of social security for weeks we talked about the tension at the station russia and ukraine exchanged accusations about who was to blame for the shelling of the complex and apparently this tension caused fears about a possible nuclear disaster ukrainians blamed the russians because they turned a nuclear facility into a military base using it to attack ukraine knowing that the ukrainian forces are unlikely to give an answer now, it is very difficult to independently verify

all these statements because the station was occupied by the russians at the beginning of march, although it is still being serviced ukrainian personnel now russia rejects all those accusations and says that russian troops guard the station. at the beginning of this month, the head of the un, antonio guterres, was here. he told me that a demilitarized zone should be created around the facility, but moscow rejected this proposal. he also said that the station should be allowed. of observers. so it seems. there is hope that the mission will allow the energy donor . where is the power plant? at least ten wounded, what is the situation in the city now and what is expected from the store, let's talk about it with my colleague genre bezpyachuk, who follows this topic. greetings, when can

the rich man's visit take place, and what conditions ukraine and russia actually put forward for it to take place yes, olya, congratulations. so, it is known that the mgt mission itself, in particular, rafael grossi, clearly stated that they plan to visit the zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant by the end of this week later. i saw the megate delegation here in kyiv in the center of the city . the delegation arrived. they are currently in the ukrainian capital. it can be confirmed when exactly they will leave from kyiv to zaporizhzhia and further to the nuclear power plant. they do not notify in advance, that is , they generally say it can happen

. earlier this week, the ukrainian side talked about the fact that the deadline for the arrival of the delegation to the ussr is august 5. that was before the start of the large-scale russia's invasion of ukraine, they planned a two-week visit to the zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant in september of this year, and the actual question of the duration of this visit and the delegation's stay at the gas station is also extremely important, but before talking about it in more detail, i would like to hear what about the role of volodymyr zelenskyi said, look at the situation at the zaporizhzhia nuclear power station, why is russia doing this, why is it doing it, what is it for russia, radiation blackmail, the same goal absolutely cynical absolutely calculated to intimidate

ukrainians to intimidate europeans to target the whole world i.e. the ukrainian president is talking about the fact that this whole story is nuclear blackmail and ukraine is unable to deal with it alone, therefore it is extremely important to involve the mother but what is important is the length of the delegation's stay small in size like you olya mentioned it only 13 representatives of this international agency the length of stay will be a very important aspect of their visit because they should get first full access to the npp, the opportunity to communicate freely with the ukrainian staff of the nuclear power plant, who remain there and continue to perform their duties under shelling and in an atmosphere of fear

on a daily basis . about the consequences of the shelling, it is known that this delegation received certain extended powers and, in particular , it is assumed that some of its experts are preparing precisely for the analysis of the consequences of the shelling and that exactly what caused the damage to the power plant, where was the fire from, what was the fire from, this region is a matter of principle for ukraine. which continues the previous questions, because one of russia's conditions

for the mgt delegation is that there should not be representatives of britain and the united states of america , precisely those countries that actively support this country during this war, therefore, the delegation included representatives of china, serbia, countries that maintain friendly relations with russia, and for balance, representatives of poland and lithuania, countries that actively support ukraine during this war, and also representatives of france, which was directly involved in the process of formation , included of this delegation, the french manuel macron took part in preliminary negotiations with the diplomats of russia and ukraine regarding the visit of the megate, as well as representatives of such countries as albania, north macedonia this is how mexico will be international, this delegation can go straight here from the gas station, although the ukrainian side warns that there is a big risk that new attacks on the russian army may happen, and

it is not known when the delegation will actually be able to get directly to the main point of its destination, and for ukraine it is extremely important for international representatives to go there they were going through the territory under the control of the ukrainian government, and not from crimea, as russia had previously demanded. the zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant resumed work in the energy system of ukraine and started up the power unit that had to be stopped due to shelling damaged power grids of the nuclear power plant russians have been occupying since march and let's move on to another topic that is on everyone's lips today, the ukrainian authorities are reporting on the deprivation in the battles in the kherson region, which may indicate attempts by the control entry of the armed forces, in fact, in kyiv, they announce the breakthrough of the first line of defense of the russians, the public edition reported that the information about the breakthrough and withdrawal of the 109th regiment dpr militants were confirmed by three of their sources in

the units of the armed forces of ukraine in the south. a bbc interlocutor among officers in the kherson region also spoke about the revival in this direction and the offensive of the armed forces of ukraine. ukrainian politicians even began to joke on social networks about the possible escape of russians from kherson. the head of the joint press center of the security and defense forces of the south nataliya humenyuk will talk about the situation in the south with military expert yevhen dyky and yevhen how the distribution of forces in the south looks like is it really about the counteroffensive? is it too early to talk about it? well, frankly speaking, well, i understand the curiosity of the media and the public. we now live in a world where everything is happening. speaking as a person who

is not actually a military expert but is a war veteran from me, to be honest, now it's a little, well, how to say it so delicately, it creates a certain discomfort, that is, we are trying to literally monitor and analyze what there is currently thousands of people doing extremely difficult and extremely risky work and in just a few days it will become clear to the people which of the two sides it was better from which of the two sides it was better to track all the attempts literally online to track and where breakthrough where there was no breakthrough and so on well, this is all the psychology of people who were not there on the spot, understand correctly when you go on the offensive there, everything changes literally not only in hours but sometimes in minutes and what has now been broken through literally in an hour it can already be closed again and vice versa on the contrary, you will be there in an hour, already a dozen kilometers from your basic position. and you can, on the

contrary, purchase and hold the same trench for weeks, because of the fact that you can now really state that there is no calm there now, there is a lot of fighting going on there now of high intensity somewhere also degrees of intensity as in previous months only in donbas this is what can be categorically affirmed everything else really changes by the hour and now it is too early to judge whether or not this is already a big counteroffensive is it still after all, there is a mass reconnaissance in front of him, moreover, it is too early to judge how exactly this counteroffensive is, or whether it is reconnaissance by combat, how they develop, it will actually become clear not even after that, not even tomorrow, it is old, it will be clear in a few days of hostilities yevgena so, look, but mykhailo

podalyak , adviser to the head of the op successfully the end of the quote, at the same time, in his telegram , he urged politicians not to make hasty statements, what is the purpose of such indirect statements of officials from the point of view of military tactics ? the expert is now being asked to comment on the actions of profoundly civilian politicians who have never held a weapon in their hands. and by the way - this applies 100%. he is now primarily engaged in solving the political problems of the office the president, moreover, primarily working for the internal audience, this has no direct connection with what is happening at the same time, the time at the front, and moreover, here, here, here i am ready to sign with both hands, this is under his last phrase about what he asks not to make loud statements

, oh, oh, in his loud statement, oh, with this last thesis, i agree 200%. so uh, you have to let the military do their job, and war is, in fact, first of all, a very hard job that you have to do, so you have to let them do their job and it is quite careful to comment, especially avoiding different afghans, if only for the reason that these advances are made by civilians who, for the time being, do not imagine how the war is going, that is, this kind of advances can create euphoria and inflated expectations, which are then shattered. in reality, it is there and then separately, the same party and the company have to work to explain why they had in mind why everything did not go quite that way, but in fact, in my opinion, it is now too early to make any advances, er, both sides understand the price of the question, the question is, the liberation of the

south of ukraine in the near future is very expensive for the russians and for us, that is, and we perfectly understand what will happen if we liberate it, but the russians also understand what the consequences will be if we liberate it, that is why there is such a thing, you know. there is a moment of very high tension of the forces of both parties, and in such cases, it is especially important to predict someone's success with confidence. and waiting for the result, there is a lot of speculation on the topic of whether there is enough strength and equipment for the contrast. please tell me whether, in principle, they are waiting for the help of additional measures with equipment, that is, in this segment and in this region, in the coming days or weeks. i think that in the coming days this is definitely not the case

where to expect help is coming, but it does not come from hour to hour, it comes in such large enough discrete portions with breaks in between if you are interested personally, i emphasize that my opinion is personal mine, which can be very different from the point of view of the military command. well, especially since i don't really know what the point of view of the military command is, so ... eh, but we don’t have enough artillery with b-sets for them, or pro-mechanics , ot and well, all the more aviation, and without these three elements, it’s extremely difficult to advance even with a highly motivated and sufficient number of infantry, ot in my opinion, uh, 30 numbers the iron we have and the enemies we have is a thief, we have a problem with personnel, they do not have enough

soldiers and this deficit only grows over time, but does not decrease, but they have a surplus of old soviet iron and ammunition for it. my opinion in such and such a situation well, it might have been worth waiting for the arrival of the next portions of western aid in order to reduce this imbalance in heavy heavy weapons and armored vehicles . well, it would be necessary to even out this balance a little. but again, this is my personal opinion. i do not possess it, and thank god. none of us civilians currently possess all the information that the military command has, they proceed from more complete information, accordingly, they probably adopt their the solution is, unlike you and me, they know in detail exactly how many communities there are in a certain area, they have ammunition boxes and based on this, make some management

decisions. thank you very much yevgeny for your opinion and for detailed analysis it was evgeny dyky about the possible contrast in the kherson region and also in the kherson region they killed the deputy kovalev who went over to the side of russia the investigative committee of russia is investigating the circumstances of the murder oleksiy kovalev was the deputy head of the occupying power of the kherson region before that the deputies of the verkhovna rada of ukraine from the servant of the people party and the battle for the south of ukraine will become the main for ukraine in the near future, if it becomes victorious, it will open the way to crimea, this is the forecast of an expert of the american council of foreign steven blank's policies, while blank is convinced because of his own weak position that in the future russia will increase airstrikes on civilian and military targets, my colleague tetyana kharchenko spoke with an american expert steven ukraine just celebrated independence day and expected an attack on the government quarter of kyiv and other strategic places the worst predictions did not come true. but is there a risk that the russians

simply postponed them and did not cancel them at all? what is tugen oblast? many of us believe that the murder of dugin's daughter was obviously planned by the fsb. operation under a foreign flag is to mobilize support for the war inside russia, now they have announced the mobilization of 137,000 people in the russian armed forces, which is approximately 10-15% of the strength of the russian armed forces before the start of the war, but the mobilization is already underway, they are recruiting people over 40 years old convicts are trying to create regional battalions of volunteers and so on. and on top of all that, they issue a decree about these 137,000, which shows that they are not doing too well, plus they are slowing down the offensive why because they are not winning, on the contrary, they are losing a large number of people and equipment, this also indicates that in the future we should expect an increase in the number of air strikes on all possible ukrainian targets, at the

same time they have used almost all opportunities for accurate strikes and remain with what is called among the professional military with stupid bombs that you drop and they fall where they fall , they fight against ukraine with anti-aircraft missiles s-400 caliber missiles they hit houses, what in general otherwise, you can't call it madness from a tactical point of view. but they don't have it. i expect that they will continue merciless attacks on civilian and military targets. where do you think the attacks will be most intense and what should be expected in the southern direction of kyiv? first of all, there will be air strikes on there may be attempts by kyiv and kharkiv to intensify their offensive in the east, there were certain reports about this, but in my opinion the main direction now will be the south, especially the area around kherson, the reason is very simple if kherson falls the road to crimea will be opened, the ukrainians have already shown that crimea is vulnerable - this caused a wave of terror in

moscow and also in crimea, because all these people realized that they could become targets, the russian naval forces are also a target, and if it was possible to exhaust them sufficiently with attacks, the blockade would begin to fall apart and it would be a very big loss for moscow if this happened, so i believe that the main battle in the near future will be in the south, but you will also see attacks on the entire front line, which for a moment now stretches for 1200 km if to return to kherson. i heard from there that all the bridges there were destroyed, and now about 20,000 soldiers have fallen there, if this is true. if it is possible to cut them off and even capture them there, it would be a major victory, because the capture of kherson would mean that crimea falls into the risk zone. then the russians definitely did not expect that they would have to defend it, earlier there were rumors that part of the russian military was fleeing from kherson. what do you

know about this unconfirmed information? we can not verify it, but if i were ukraine and if i'm not mistaken, it was about three regiments, or in other words, 20,000 people who were trapped or surrounded, i would cover them as quickly as i could , at least two of the dead as a result of the russian shelling of mykolaiv hit right in the center of the city. according to him, residential buildings and educational institutions have been hit, the city head also called on the city residents to stay in shelters , rescue emergency services and utility workers are working on the ground, the head of the region vitaliy kim also already announced 24 wounded, their number increased during the day, the russians fired 12 rockets at the city, reported by whom, and meanwhile, the armed forces of ukraine report that the key bridges across the dnipro in the kherson region are practically out of order, in particular , the operative group

of the kakhovka troops writes about this on facebook, key crossings were damaged by the strikes of haim with so much that they actually turned into pedestrians, the ukrainian military says there, they also say that the russian army turned out to be cut off from the supply of weapons and personnel from the territory of crimea, the armed forces of ukraine have already struck bridges many times, the most famous example is the antonov bridge, a strategic object that allows the russians to supply weapons to their group of troops on the right bank of the dnieper, the russians constantly tried to repair it and set up pontoon crossings due to its damage, and how does it still work russian propaganda, how did the informational and psychological special operation of the soviet special services work and what their methods are used by russian propaganda, now the canadian told the bbc about it historian, professor at the military academy in toronto, lubomir lutsyuk, he wrote the book operation retribution, the methods of russian devils cause a historian

deja vu even 40 years ago. my colleague iryna taraniuk asked what exactly and how to resist them. the kgb acted brilliantly, it must be admitted that they were based on widespread prejudices and stereotypes. tension, they took advantage of the fears of the jewish community that ukrainians are pogroms of the first world war, the petlyurites and the like, and crushed this idea already on the basis of the second world war that ukrainians they allegedly took part in the holocaust as nazi collaborators, look at them, there was even an ss division in galicia in canada, the government commission of judge duchene investigated the veterans of the division and did not identify any war criminals, but they were thoroughly checked. in my book, there is a document where stalin says to the hornet in plain text that i don’t care about them, but the information that no nazi crimes were discovered among them

was not properly disseminated. and only now that we have received the document operation retaliation from the secret archive of the kgb, where they are openly flaunting their success of your special operation, you understand its scope, they openly report how they sowed enmity between the ukrainian and jewish diasporas of north america in order to weaken them, to weaken the jewish diaspora that supported the so-called renegades and dissidents in the ussr, and on the other hand, to weaken the ukrainian baltic diasporas from dissuading them from supporting the movement on for independence, they split these groups , drove a wedge between them, let the ukrainian jews fight among themselves rather than fighting together against us, so from the point of view of ipso - it was brilliant on the part of the kgb and such it lasted for at least two years, and from the beginning of the soviet union, more precisely, from the end of the second world war and up to our days, when the ussr collapsed, russia simply picks up this case and continues it until today minus to ukraine heroes in white

people to me ags of war monuments to ukrainian heroes incites society and intimidation of diaspora figures, there is even a document of a planned assassination attempt on yaroslav stetsky at an event in toronto, a small boy was present. by the ukrainian and baltic diasporas and it had no results, ask anyone in north america in great britain if the nazis hid here after the war and the answer will be yes, here it should be immediately noted that criminals and evil people during the war were among all ethnic communities and if this is really so then in each case evidence must be presented and such people brought to court. i am convinced that all war criminals, regardless of when they committed their crimes, must be brought before the court, this is not being discussed, but we are talking about the fact that russia

is leading a campaign launched by the soviet union until now, returning to this book, who do you think should read it first, president zelenskyi. i know that he does not have time, but his closest advisers must understand what is happening, because this is not about judge duchenne. he died a long time ago, and not about john demyanyuk, who also died a long time ago, these people will be judged in the next world or not, it does not matter here, it is about the future of ukraine and the good name, the reputation of ukraine, the whole world now admires the courage of ukrainians, their indomitability everyone said that the war would last 100 hours, and it has been going on for more than four months. ukrainians have grown up in the eyes of the world, but our enemies, such as russia, are always using this outdated record to smear the good name of ukrainians with dirt in the hope that not everything will be washed away.

those who make political decisions should read it, people in the verkhovna rada, people in the diaspora, thanks to the generosity of sponsors, copies of this book are already in many libraries, but you need to read the documents listed there, which you will not find online. that dirt still holds like this and at the end of the additional financial aid to ukraine , norway and sweden promised, in particular, in norway, they announced a new support package for ukraine at the northern seas shelf conference. about 205 million dollars so that ukraine can buy gas in winter and another 100 million dollars will be provided to ukraine by the government of sweden, the prime minister of the kingdom of magdalena announced this anderson at a press conference with the head of the ministry of foreign affairs of ukraine
