if there are collaborators in your region, write to me on this e-mail or simply on facebook, let's make all the scoundrels known together - death to the enemies of mohajera and shaheda, russia did receive iranian drones, this was confirmed in the white house, are iranian drones capable of strengthening the position of russian forces in ukraine, and by what means will answer kyiv gazprom completely stopped the supply of gas through the northern stream alone as a result gas prices in europe again reached a record high how will this situation

affect the ukrainian gas market in the 92nd year life mikhail gorbachev, the first and last president of the ussr, died - western leaders remember his contribution to the end of the cold war, and in russia they reflect on his role in the schedule of the soviet union, who will gorbachev go down in ukrainian history , see svoboda life. congratulations, this is freedom life. my name is vlasta lazur, we speak live. we are on the pages of radio svoboda on facebook and youtube, as well as on the air of the espresso channel. well, we are starting from kharkov . at night, the shelling of the city continued. we hit a residential building. there are wounded as a result of this shelling. we we show further what it was like, well, with a loud bang, even the door opened, although it was on a

hook there, as if we were looking, there was nothing. in principle , the unfit second one suffered more, but she was cut for that and she herself went to this ambulance, they were taken to the hospital at the same time, they were already going to bed, the windows crashed on the bed and crashed and cut their legs with glass in this house, to knock them out fast windows building structure the structure of the building at first glance was not damaged - it was not damaged ee there was a fire on the third floor at the moment the outline of the building for which the chipboards will then restore internal work will be carried out and restore the

electricity supply, water supply, gas supply and preparation - prepare for the heating period as a result of shelling there were two fires in four-story residential and office buildings, an apartment on the third floor with an area of ​​30 m² caught fire, as well as an office space on area of ​​40 m² in a nearby neighboring building , rescuers immediately arrived at the scene of the incident. these are seven tanker trucks for car ladders and 40 personnel of the state emergency service, and in about two hours, both fires were quickly extinguished. the apartment was almost completely damaged in this building. two people were injured by the emergency medical team. medical aid and they were hospitalized in a medical facility, the ukrainian military

managed to move the front line in the south in some places and russia will probably try to settle these areas now this is stated in the current review of british intelligence, they note that since monday ukrainian forces continue to attack the southern group of the russian army in several directions according to their doctrines, russia will probably try to hold back with the help of special mobile reserve groups, the intelligence also notes that russia is looking for reinforcement options for its forces most likely, the so-called volunteer battalions of the newly created third army corps, which on august 24 left from the third army corps of its base near moscow is most likely understaffed and these soldiers received limited training, notes british intelligence. meanwhile, ukrainian intelligence reports that russia plans to strengthen the defense of crimea

with conscripts and people from moscow and st. petersburg, according to intelligence data of the military commissariat of moscow and of the leningrad regions received instructions regarding the mass conscription of local residents, who will be used to equip the military units stationed in crimea well, the usa has officially confirmed that russia has indeed received iranian drones. this was reported in the white house, but they refrained from commenting on whether russia will use these drones during the war in ukraine. about sending the first batch of unmanned aerial vehicles to russia early the press, in particular, the washington post, the cnn channel, in the kremlin, the report was called a drop, it is about the muhajer-6 shahed 129 and insha head 191 drones, they were sent to russia on august 19. what is this for the apparatus. are they able to strengthen the russian forces?

well, we will talk further about the situation at the front . contact us, a military expert of the reserve of the armed forces of ukraine serhiy grabsky. i congratulate you as i write that before the end of the 1980s, iran was sanctions. and as the experts say, many of these drones were largely copied from foreign devices. tell me what kind of iranian drones they are and what advantage they can be for russia. if they start using them in ukraine, we will say yes this version or copies are sometimes not quite successful copies of american israeli drones, the remains of which were found in the iranians were found in war

zones in iraq, afghanistan, syria and libya. 20 years well, if we talk about their ergonomics, their construction, etc. , but less so, we understand that these drones remain weapons and that these weapons can be used, that they fly and shoot, or in most cases can be used as intelligence on the intelligence element, that is, it must be understood that the enemy is objectively receiving means that will allow him to delve more deeply into the battle formations of the ukrainian troops in the depth of the defense of ukraine in order to scan the situation that is developing at this moment , undoubtedly these drones, there are a lot of questions about them, including questions about how they will be repaired in case of damage, what they can do, how accurate they are, and so on and so

on. but nevertheless, they remain a weapon at the same time, you don't need to exaggerate their role , you know, if iran, even iran, it started developing the drone program from the end of the 80s, when it came out of the war with cancer, that is, they are a great opportunity for this new weapon. then russia did not pay much attention and of the development of this particular direction, and thus here we can talk about the fact that, despite the fact that russia may be getting additional drones, it will take some time for them to learn how to work with these trojans, so that they, as it were, implement this implant weapons to systems impact systems that they use on the battlefield today, that is, we are talking about the fact that russia is finally starting to learn the lessons of the war of the xxi century well, besides, who should forget such

a positive thing that, having a much more powerful production base, russia is forced to buy these drones from the iranians, that is we understand how vulnerable is the e-e system of the russian military-industrial complex, in particular what concerns this particular program , that is, the free clitoris program. i just wanted to clarify. it turns out that no country in the world even the same china not to mention turkey does not sell drones to russia the only one they can turn to is iran that's right that's right and understanding the fact that iran is under the sun for 10 long periods of time in 79, you have to understand that uh, i would said yes, the quality of these drones does not fully meet the needs and requirements of modern warfare, tell me, but it seemed to me that the white house was somehow not so confident in commenting and answering the question can

russia use these drones, well, i mean, i even heard such a thesis before from experts that russia them can buy but may not use and here immediately a question is asked. well, how did iran even get the idea to sell these drones? they were supposed to be afraid of american warnings. we can't hear you, mr. grabsky. you probably have some problems with your headphones or try to talk without headphones . you can hear us, we will move on. we had some problems on radio liberty serhiy grabsky, military expert, colonel of the reserve of the armed forces of ukraine. maybe he will still contact

us and we will talk with them about drones well, in the meantime, the mission of the un international atomic energy agency has arrived in zaporizhzhia, the arrival of the mission, i remind you, is connected with the fear of a nuclear disaster due to increased shelling of the territory of the zaporizhia nuclear power plant, the largest in europe. now, i remind you, the nuclear power plant is under the control of russia. and now we have a fresh comment from director megather feel grosin who actually led the mission let's listen the mission will last for a few days if we can establish a permanent presence or rather a long presence then it will continued but this first segment will last several days, so to speak, my mission is a technical mission. it is to prevent a nuclear accident and save this important nuclear power plant, the largest in europe and not only in ukraine. so this is what we are focused on. as you know, this is a part of ukraine that it is currently occupied by

russian troops, but it is clear to us that this is a ukrainian object and if we are here, our powers, legal competence, to be here are clearly defined by the agreement on guarantees that we have with ukraine, we will monitor the mission of the megate e-e in zaporizhzhia, as i have already the mission said for now well, then it should move towards energy donation well, in the meantime, the foreign ministries of the countries of the european union agreed to cancel the agreement with russia on the simplified issuance of visas, said the minister of foreign affairs of hungary, peter siyartu , while at the same time, the eu did not agree to a complete ban on the issuance of visas were able to because many countries, including our own hungary, spoke against it, sijarto said, accordingly, after the cancellation of the agreement on simplified extradition, the russians will have to pay an increased consular fee of €50 instead of €35. well and in addition, it was agreed that the border countries with russia, meaning lithuania, latvia, estonia , poland and finland, will be able to introduce

entry restrictions at the regional level, these five countries plan to approve the approach to checking russian citizens with valid visas already this friday, and new the restrictions will be able to work next week. well , to completely ban the issuance of tourist visas to citizens of russia, they first proposed the state, as i already said, bordering russia is not a punishment for russians. and the issue of european security is yes said the minister of foreign affairs of lithuania, gabriel lis lander, in an interview with radio svoboda, according to him, those measures regarding visas for citizens of russia, which all eu members agree to, are not enough for those countries that share a common border with russia and belarus, listen to the hundreds of thousands of people who cross the border with lithuania and latvia, estonia, poland and finland have visas issued by other member states and a large number of these people actually remain in the border countries, this means that someone else invites them and they stay

they are here, the parliament of lithuania has recognized russia as a country that supports terrorism. thus, it is obvious that we have a problem with russians traveling to my country or through the territory of our country and neighboring countries . a state of war and a large number of people actually already fought in ukraine and then they can return from there and go to a lithuanian resort. thus, this idea is not very well received by the public in the baltic countries for three decades, the countries of western europe did not listen to the baltic countries, they tried to win the hearts and minds of russians, we pay a lot of money for gas, we invite tourists and so on, and from this we got the 2008 war in georgia, the occupation of crimea, and now we have a full-scale war in ukraine, that's how many hearts and we won

the time in russia to wake up to the situation at the front , in particular in the south. well, we will also continue to discuss the topic of early drones. serhii arabskii rejoins our broadcast i asked you a question about the fact that i was somewhat unsure about the white house commenting about whether russia will still use these drones, there are some doubts here, it may not be used. you know this is what we talked about, what i specifically hinted at. one thing is to buy and deliver these drones, and the second thing is to integrate them into the system of nervous support and fire strikes, e. low or it can be high enough. well, plus you have to understand that we have learned how to shoot down these drones. if i am not mistaken,

today we are already talking about uh, something like 850 unmanned aerial vehicles that were destroyed by the ukrainian armed forces. thus yes, they can pose a certain threat, but to say that they will categorically affect the situation and fundamentally change the situation in the war, well, that was an exaggeration . the situation, even british intelligence confirms that the counter-offensive really began on monday and the ukrainian military is talking about it, it is really a counter-offensive . did not call it only a tentative situation, because we are now in such a state that the ukrainian troops do not have to carry out massive strikes on control points at places of concentration of personnel at bases communications warehouses moreover, i want to draw

attention to what is the difference between what we had before and now we are talking primarily about control points and this may be a sign of certain active actions, that is, taking into account the request of the general staff we are very we carefully comment on all things, er, we are aware that this may affect the troops, but we can clearly state that quite interesting events are taking place in the southern direction and we are closely monitoring the development of these events. i will just add if you mentioned the general staff they do an inspection every morning, and there they write what the losses of the russian army are. we noticed that the last few days these losses are quite high there, 350 e-e personnel, for example, as of today - 350 yesterday it was -500, well , that is, in comparison with the previous days, the last days the general staff reports on slightly increased losses of russian forces, you know, did you notice this absolutely

absolutely absolutely i absolutely agree and it actually fits into this context that certain active actions are being carried out there because we know that in the east if talking about the east, there is already a clear picture of the enemy trying to put pressure on our troops with small units, and such information indicating that losses are increasing indicates that activity is increasing in certain areas the intensity of hostilities and, accordingly, this leads to losses for the enemy. well, british intelligence also writes that russia will somehow fill these weak points with volunteer battalions from the so-called third army corps and also even ukrainian intelligence says that they are preparing volunteers and conscripts for crimea. please tell me, this is a significant increase in russia, where do you get these reserves ? that we

need to prepare for the unexpected and for a tough response from the russian federation , because both we and they are aware of the exceptional importance and strategic importance of this direction, the kherson region, for, in principle, without exaggeration, the further introduction of hostilities on territory of ukraine, so now they are desperately trying to concentrate everything possible in order to keep the situation under control there. and i would not be surprised that, despite what was stated earlier, the third army corps was assigned to be transferred to donbas and participate in the hostilities in donbas that certain units of this corps will be transferred to close the gaps and holes in the southern direction, which only concerns the quality of these servicemen who come there, you know, it's not about a few, it's about quality

and about the number after all, they will be sent in order to hit certain areas, well, here it is. sorry, it's pure arithmetic that to destroy a hundred people, you still need more ammunition than to mark 50 people, sorry for the military cynicism, this kind of math which says that it will try against them, as usual , in order to solve its problems, the passport of the armed forces of ukraine was on radio svoboda well, while in europe they are discussing visas for citizens of russia, what are we already telling you about today russian gazprom said that this night it completely stopped gas supplies via the northern stream, one of the main russian gas pipelines to europe. gazprom explains its decision with technical works and promises to resume gas supplies on september 3. russian media close to the kremlin write that supplies will be

restored at the level of 33 million cubic meters per day and this is 20% of the capacity of the gas pump today's stoppage of gas supplies to europe did not become news on august 19 gazprom warned that it would stop pumping gas allegedly in connection with the repair of you will be surprised at the only remaining turbine at the portova compressor station in the leningrad region, against the background of this news, gas prices in europe have exceeded the mark of $3,000 per thousand cubic meters in europe . for the northern flow, the turbine , i will remind you, was under repair in canada due to sanctions, canada did not want to return it because the turbine must fall under the definition of goods of double appointment and after long negotiations with the participation of germany, which is afraid of being left without russian gas, the turbine was delivered to europe, but it still has not reached russia, although germany strongly persuaded

gazprom to take the turbine. well, what is olaf scholz's photo shoot near this very turbine worth? gazprom does not accept the turbine, they say there are problems there with the documentation, therefore, the absence of this turbine actually frees gazprom's hands in limiting the pumping of gas to europe, they say that one turbine is not available due to european sanctions, and we need others repair, but such a situation has developed well, as i have already said, this whole situation led to a record increase in the price of gas in europe, but immediately the question arises of what to expect from ukraine and what will happen to the ukrainian gas market, we will talk about this later volodymyr omelchenko, director of energy programs of the center razumkova is in touch with us, we are your greetings, i will start by saying that less than a week ago, it seems to me, president zelensky signed a law on a moratorium on increasing gas and heat prices, and it is assumed that this moratorium will be in effect until as long as the martial law continues in ukraine and for six

months after that. please tell me how much this is understood and how much it is accepted by western partners . and it turns out that in ukraine everything remains at the same level there in the 21st year, does this question arise or does it not arise? because of this, european partners have a conversation with the representatives of the european energy commission in our country about this the question is this, this problem could be on the agenda if there was no war, and since we have a war, i think that for europeans and for our international international partners, the most important thing is for ukraine to go through the family winter period normally. well, how is this possible in these conditions, therefore, i think that there will be no big questions, besides, it is necessary to emphasize that the ukrainian natural

gas market is still separated from the european union market today and works according to its own rules, unlike the european the union, which is approximately 80% dependent on supplies from external sources, the ukrainian market this year is 95%. it is covered by its own e-e sources of its own production, so the conditions are completely different, and it is through our own production that we can maintain e prices for the population for teplokomunenergo, well, for a certain time at a sufficiently comfortable level if it is 4 degrees lower than the norm. i understand that there are risks that there will not be enough gas for the population, if not, correct

me. well, please explain that for a long time during for many years, in ukrainian politics, they have always said that ukraine supplies itself with gas. is this true, or was it just politicking and in reality it is not so, well, for the population, for teplokomunenergo, one-time own production will be enough for 100%. if these resources, which are provided for the population for teplokomunenergo, are not resold to merchants, but this is not allowed in principle , certain restrictions are possible for industrial enterprises, so i do not quite understand why the temperature should be four degrees lower, since citizens 100% will pay for natural gas correctly, that is, uh, this is what will happen, you know, uh, theft is so certain that people paid for uh, at

prices that exist in full and volume, and they are given unqualified service in no way, so i think that this is not quite correct. this is a kind of theft. it is possible that there is an unexplored mine that ended up in the occupied territories. do you know anything about it? well, yes, certain wells, certain deposits did indeed end up in the occupied territory, but they do not play a critical role for gas supply in ukraine quantity what is the number of fields what is the percentage 10-15% of the maximum good please tell me how serious the situation is that russia will start striking gas fields in ukraine or other infrastructure that is related to the distribution of heat for ukrainians it can

to say more qualified the main intelligence agency of ukraine, but you can expect anything from russia, including this, but again i say that today, in principle, we are proceeding according to the plan of filling the underground gas storages, so i was today at a meeting of the supreme committee of the verkhovna rada on energy there, the head of uzsu said that today there are already 13 billion cubic meters in storage , and on october 15 it is planned that there will be 14.4 billion cubic meters, which in principle will be enough for the population of teplokomunenergo, thank you thank you very much the last general secretary of the

company and the soviet union the first sole president of the soviet union mikhail gorbachev died at the age of 92 gorbachev headed the communist party of the soviet union in 1985 and during the following six years ago, the fall of the iron curtain took place, the reunification of germany and the collapse of the soviet union, which, by the way, the then officer of the kgb and the current president of russia, vladimir putin, later called it the greatest geopolitical catastrophe of the century . today, putin expressed his condolences to gorbachev's relatives and said that he influenced the course of world history. to western leaders here, for example, there . american president joe biden called gorbachev a man who had excellent foresight and that thanks to him, he was left behind safer, ursula von derlilyaen, the head of the european commission, stated that mykhailo

gorbachev was an authoritative and respected leader. boris johnson, the minister of great britain, stated that he was saddened by the news of gorbachev's death and that he always admired the courage and honesty that he demonstrated on the way to the peaceful end of the cold war. well, if the west is mostly about gorbachev are mentioned as a politician who ended the cold war, russian politicians are more likely to think about gorbachev's role in the collapse of the soviet union. well, for example, leonid slutsky the leader of the ldpr - it is certainly an ungrateful thing to quote slutsky, however, he writes pro-christian, sorry for gorbachev, they say, but the perestroika played into the hands of those who wanted to destroy the soviet union. well, regarding ukraine in 2014, after russia annexed crimea, gorbachev supported putin's policy and also stated that during the times of the ussr, he himself was against the transfer of crimea to ukraine, while gorbachev warned the kremlin against starting a war in donbas

, and after the full-scale russian invasion of ukraine, gorbachev said that he was disappointed putin, who with his policies destroyed the legacy of gorbachev himself, did gorbachev seek freedom and democracy for the citizens of the soviet union, as many now believe, we asked the american philosopher and writer francis foucault about this, listen. i am not sure that he wanted democracy as such, but of course, when conducting politics glasnost wanted people to speak honestly about the past of the ussr and i think the most important thing is that he did not want to use force to keep the old soviet union and this was really critically important in order for the countries of eastern europe to free themselves from soviet influence, as well as the republics of the soviet union, such as ukraine, moldova, and belarus
