in the city, there are very frequent air alarms, and the electricity supply was restored just recently. the city began to be supplied with electricity. ah, it was in the morning. it is worth saying , but there was another strike. today's one more strike and these were strikes from rockets of the multiple-launch rocket system , and cluster missiles will be used, and they actually flew to the center of the city, one man was killed and there were also wounded in one of buildings, there was such a big fire, a large-scale fire , the whole building was on fire, and about 80 firefighters were eliminating the consequences of this particular fire in neighboring houses, they smashed the sowing caps of the cars, they beat the

cars , it was clearly visible. actually in the city, the city is shelled every day, the most suffering content of the northern saltivka, but the russian troops do not neglect to hit the center of the settlement. at the same time, as was said before in general, they are shelling in most of these tactics, but literally in the last days. these are places of critical infrastructure, where it is not the military that suffers , the course of hostilities does not change, only the residents of these cities, such as kharkiv and the oblast , suffer. the ukrainian military is advancing in the kharkiv region, the territory is calm now, but the situation here changes every hour, some outfit may actually arrive. problems with the supply of electricity well,

ivan is joining the air er plachkov am i not with us they say with us i hope the next guest will appear with us now well, for the time being, no negotiations with russia regarding the end of the war are possible because the russian side cannot to form any adequate positions, said the president of ukraine, volodymyr zelensky, at the 17th meeting of the yalta european strategy, which took place this weekend in kyiv. this year, the participating journalists had to follow one rule of for the purpose of security, do not inform anya in advance about the forum itself and anya about its guests who are present there. well, perhaps the most important message that sounded at the forum from the ukrainian president was that ukraine has no intention of starting negotiations with russia and calls on the west not to believe in any listen to putin's promises, the space has changed, the opportunity has changed, society does not want to talk with

terrorists. therefore, they must first come to a different status, become just an enemy, so that we can open a diplomatic corridor with them. until you hey, they are not ready to change their status, they are not ready to admit that they are the occupier, they are not ready to say a great tragedy, a historical mistake, we went back, they are not ready to recognize the occupation of our country, and until this moment there will be no meaningful dialogue, and their statement about the impossibility of negotiations with russia before the end of the war, zelenskyi did just that against the background of the offensive of ukrainian forces in the kharkiv region, and this statement did not go unnoticed in the kremlin. well, for example, the deputy chairman of the russian security council, dmytro medvedev, said that russia still demands the total capitulation of ukraine on his terms, a certain zelensky says so, medvedev said that he will not hold a dialogue with those who put forward

an ultimatum, this year's ultimatums are a children's warm-up for demands in the future, and he knows them, the total capitulation of the kyiv regime on russia's terms, medvedev wrote to himself in a telegram i i say once again, it is a thankless thing to quote medvedev, but you know another head of the russian security council, well, a deputy , to be more precise. stated that moscow does not refuse negotiations with ukraine, but those who refuse hall lavrop should understand that the longer they drag out this process, the more difficult it will be for them to negotiate with us, this is a quote. here are the reactions from the kremlin. well, we will talk further. negotiations with russia if so, what is it about ? oleksandr hara, an expert on foreign security policy at the oleksandr center for defense strategies, joins the broadcast. my greetings. good day, volodymyr zelenskyi. i didn't just do that a sharp and categorical statement because it is believed that in this way he sent signals to the

leaders of countries who still hope and try to persuade ukraine to negotiate with russia and there is such an opinion. today i had to listen and read that despite the public armed support in the west still there are leaders who hope that negotiations between kyiv and moscow are possible, what do you think about it? well, i think that the germans, the french, they would like to see some reduction in losses for ukraine, but in the end, stop all this so that there is, let's say, the danger of cold, hungry germans well, i am definitely exaggerating a bit, but partially this is true because the sanctions imposed on the russian federation are in fact energy blackmail and food blackmail, they are hitting not only african muscle countries - the country is small and even the most powerful economy in europe, and therefore definitely certain negative political and social processes can be

there, and definitely that anna schulz and anna macron did not want this. in fact, yesterday, macron called her. in fact, i would say that he expressed a very weak position. he asked russia to remove heavy equipment and light weapons from the zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant. he did not say that, as in fact, the un secretary general and the head of mega said that russia should just get behind and get rid of the zaporizhzhia npp, not its weapons there and everything else, and then literally. i think that in fact, simultaneously with the way he hung up, our energy facilities were struck, and a number of our regions were defused, so i i don't know what it is to happen so that the macrons scholz stop wanting or do they have an itch somewhere that they

have to call this person that if the west decided that putin is uh, no, no, that he is an international pariah, that he is in isolation, sanctions , diplomatic there is nothing to do with him what to talk about except to call and say, here we are introducing sanctions like this, if you don't do this, the following will follow , that is, the ultimate form is the only form that russia understands, unfortunately, of course, there is, and they say that about the germans, i still remember one traitor of mr. scholz's keys. and before that, and before that, he was at mr. steinmeier's and his shameful, shameful statement. what did he say to the journalists? don't ask me about the weapons we have that we are sending to ukraine, but rather think about what kind of relations we will have with russia after the war i think that this is a factor , everyone says that russia will not go anywhere, it is our neighbor, the germans say, look at the map, where is

germany, where is russia, but they very often say that russia is their neighbor, and that is why they try not to cross these red lines, as they call them and that's why they don't supply us with tanks and armored vehicles, that's why they're actually suspending the help that's being given to us in order not to offend or push putin to some kind of madness. although what could be more crazy than this war that he started against ukraine in the 14th year. well, the most important thing is after february 24. we just showed a video of how these texts burn tonight. i was there last night for the task of attacking substations. please tell me what the worst scenario is in winter, well, theoretically . it can happen that it's just that all over ukraine, they will de-energize everything

that can be de-energized and then they will put forward some of their demands, well, definitely . we saw how many crimes they committed on the territory of the newly liberated territories. we saw and now i think we will be horrified by that murder and torture, actually . that's why we have to expect, on the one hand, that europe will freeze, and of course that russia wants to. thus, not only to order but the most important thing is hmm let's say this search and shake the political positions of key players and the second definitely in ukraine since we have to feel that we are all nazis fascists of a nation that does not exist even though semenyan said that she is ready to sing ukrainian songs and be like in soviet times, well that is, they are ready to receive us

as khokhlov once a year, vyshyvans in trousers to sing songs, but the rest will be in russian. well, to follow the instructions of moscow, that is why we should expect blows from such, and on the other hand, that they they can still do and rock on the ground with conventional weapons, they are not capable of declaring a general mobilization. but it will also not give anything, on the contrary, it will actually bring it closer to the division of the russian federation, well, at least then you can try it, well , literally. today i saw a video when one of the good russian soldiers was caught and he was from tatarstan, that is, he was in tanks, but in fact he was literally transferred from the baltic fleet in a week or two, where he was, well, in fact, he was like that , hmm, did he count or store weapons there? it simply shows that you don't throw everything you have into this conflict at this stage, and they ca n't achieve any goals, we see that our

defense forces are very fast, and what the russians took six months in six days, of course, we don't have there will be victories, of course, there may be difficult ones ahead, no, but it showed that you can beat the russians, you can beat them more intelligently than with just symmetrical things. that is why this conflict will continue for a long time, but radical changes. well, in principle, you cannot expect russia's position they think that they can press us, do they have iscandirs, or are there s3 s400 co-complexes, and there are some other calibers, and therefore they have the ability to inflict a round of strikes on our civilian object, which is critical. special operation counteroffensive in kharkiv oblast, which military analysts call a lightning strike, will somehow force the russian side to sit down at the negotiating table, for them it is not an argument yet.

negotiations, at least to really regroup there and at least prepare something and throw it against us, it would definitely be good , of course, in this way, you also engaged the weak links in european countries, first of all, again, germany and france, which they said well, you see a good peace, was it better than a bad war, of course it could be such a thing, but considering the successes of our defense force, i think that someone has the desire to give putin a chance and destroy ours in the forest that supports us to give a chance to regroup at a time when the morale of our fighters is on the rise and when we need to finish what we will say so on our territory is because i think that in fact we are definitely not ready russians may be willing putin may be willing but he

will to do it through someone to look at it is very important for russian diplomacy at the request of macron, the president of france, there was a phone call they always show what everyone is asking for that is , someone is taking the initiative and this one is mighty, which means there is a king or an emperor or whoever he is a dream. he chooses to answer or not to answer there, that is, it is very important for him, but i don't think that in reality even the germans and the french have such an influence on the ukrainian government, and on the contrary, we see that other states are very, very good interview by the way. spiegel was the prime minister of poland, where he very harshly criticized germany for such slow help. he said that the ukrainian military carried out the offensive faster than the germans had been supplying weapons for all this time, and the most important thing is that there central eastern europe's mistrust of germany

is a very important moment, because there are countries that understand that what is at stake is not just warmth in german homes, but freedom, security and peace on the territory of central eastern europe for a reason. the minister of foreign affairs of lithuania said that there can be no negotiations there must be a capitulation of russia and one more question, you probably noticed the rhetoric about kremlin bloggers on the eve of this weekend , when the counteroffensive in the kharkiv region continued, the ministry of defense of russia said that they were specially regrouping the troops and the kremlin bloggers wrote that it was a shameful defeat, and what’s more, they paid for it not just the military leadership, some even dared to blame putin personally. well, that is, there is a war camp on the one hand, but this same war camp is in opposition to putin, well, hmm, if

someone is bitter, then someone needs it, it’s just because russia is a totalitarian state with no opposition the authorities can't be, they use it as if there are similar, so-called, you see the kremlin, they compete with each other. and sometimes they allow a little bit of barking at putin, but not very much. moreover , in which sense? yes, there are some military people there, so they failed, they made the wrong plans, they are not doing enough there, but it is necessary to act harshly, therefore, in the opposition, i definitely do not see any pro-imperial and pro-fascist cliques, but to be honest, i do not really i see and from the point of view of the liberals, because now they were showing some icon carried in i think in st. petersburg, there was a mass demonstration. and

how many were against the war? because this is a thesis. it is a really correct thesis that the victory of ukraine over russia over putin's russia will also be a victory for russia, as it will open a historical chance to become a normal state, neither a pseudo-empire nor a fascist state, but i honestly do not see many big joys from the russian liberals, thank you very much for your comment oleksandr hara, an expert on foreign security policy of the center for defense strategies, was on radio svoboda . strategies, the ex-us ambassador to ukraine, john herps, said, according to him, the american policy of providing weapons to yatsetyu is timid and slow, and the diplomat also predicts

washington's positive decision to transfer combat aircraft to ukraine, listen of course, the united states could do more. look , the american policy was adequate in this crisis without the significant military and economic aid that we provided, the situation in ukraine was much worse , so the guy and his team deserve to be recognized for these achievements, but this it is also true that they have been timid and slow in implementing their policies , therefore the military aid we provided to ukraine before the great russian invasion of javelin and several stingers were to be provided in the fall , artillery with a range of 40 km was provided in march and april was to be provided in january, the heimers, which were handed over a couple of months ago, should have been handed over six months ago, and when we give these weapons systems to whom we initially said no, we are giving them in small quantities, this is a timid policy that does not serve american interests and complicates

the struggle of ukraine. only 150 km, and even 300, we insisted that we should have sent a can to ukraine in march, and now we have to plan the transfer of f16 fighters, we also need to give ukraine m1 tanks - this is all that will ensure a quick ukrainian victory when a full-scale war began. we talked a lot about the role aviation in this war that ukraine has problems with this at the same time russia has a lot of planes and helicopters but now we don't see anything like planes for ukraine in military aid packages from the us why first of all i think that soon there may be a positive decision according to the migs, i heard about it, so i think that this is a good step. but before, the administration was again on top of you to

send the mig because they believed that it provokes russia and this is a model that we have seen again and again, they say no because they are afraid then they say so good they finally said yes not so good it took them months to say yes so i think eventually we will see america deliver their own advanced aircraft like the f-15 and f-16 but they will probably need six or eight months to make a decision, well, one more topic for today, the court arrested roman dudin, the former head of the kharkiv department of the security service of ukraine, without the possibility. the office of the prosecutor general reported that according to the investigation data, on february 24 of this year, the head of the security service department in the kharkiv region, on his own initiative, began to act on damage to the defense capability and national security of ukraine president volodymyr zelenskyi i would like to remind you that on may 29 i dismissed

the head of the security service in kharkiv region of roman dudin right during his visit to kharkiv, zelensky then explained his decision by the fact that dudin had not worked for the city's defense since the first days of a full-scale war. immediately after his release, roman doudin said in a commentary on radio liberty that kharkiv, according to the sbu, was ready for war, that his the resignation is said to be the result of the intrigues of the local authorities and stated that neither volodymyr zelenskyi nor the then head of the security service of ukraine, ivan bakanov, voiced any complaints about his work and the work of the security service department in the region. dudin himself commented on the situation and actually predicted how the events around you will develop in the future. well, this is an interesting question, in fact, i am from my

side. many people called, in fact, probably the entire security service of ukraine from all regions from all tickets. everyone thinks that it is, well, actually, because everyone knows that someone somewhere was with us on a rotating basis, someone somewhere helped us, everyone knows all the roads. it worked and works like clockwork where i am very well indicators results there and so on and that it was the security service of ukraine in the kharkiv region in the first days that provided all those voluntary patriotic organizations with weapons, now i already see a lot of those people say on chatted and

recorded the video even shows photos of how they carry weapons and how they and they tell it all and show it here. after this conversation, more than three months have passed, and now they announced, after all, the suspicion of treason, although for some time after his release, according to him , the law enforcement officers did not express any complaints to him, and we will now discuss this story with us on the link ivan stupak, military expert of the ukrainian institute of the future well, i will also say for our viewers that you in the past, an employee of the security service of ukraine. my congratulations. i welcome you to the studio. good evening. first of all, you know, i will ask such and such an objective question based on your observations, and the kharkiv region, according to the sbu, was ready to invasion well, to what extent it was possible and depended on the security service under the lenses. it is difficult for me to say specifically for the kharkiv region, but i can

say for the service as a whole. i know that the middle echelon of the sbu, it simply carried the whole situation on its shoulders in many regions in the first 40- 50 days of the most difficult ah ah days of the invasion, they took it upon themselves the initiative of these employees, that is, they somewhere, that is, the law was observed everywhere, but somewhere more initiative, somewhere more, you know, drive, somewhere more er, they removed a little bit of bureaucracy and worked literally from wheels day night day and night 24/7 they really worked and endured all this invasion especially in the kyiv region i know when a lot of work was done there just employees took responsibility, they say, we take responsibility, we work, that is, they worked

, too. it will be determined who will manage the service, they must carry out an analysis who where was the first day, the 10th day, the 30th day, the 50th day, who how performed their functional duties, who was outside the reach zone, there are such employees there, both of the middle rank and above the average, who they turned off their phones , disappeared on the 24th, appeared sometime in april and calmly came to work, said that i was here, i was here all the time, well, well, what do you think about the story surrounding roman dudin? well, i'll just remind you that the president fired him and publicly said about the next day, in an interview with journalists and us in particular, he said that previously the president and the head of the security service had never

voiced any complaints against him, then he walked calmly for three months, no one touched him, and there were no complaints publicly either. even some members of the verkhovna rada from the defense and development committee, with whom i spoke, also voiced this, for them it was also such an incomprehensible case, they were even going to bring it up for discussion in the committee, and here more than three months of high treason, arrest without the right to enter have passed so, in general, what do you think about it, well , look, as far as i remember, the president then put forward to him eh well, so that the remark and you were such a wording so that he would deal with some of his issues, that is, i remember this moment there was no eh- there were no accusations of treason against the president, even direct and indirect accusations. they said that he seemed to be dealing with his personal issues and not with the issues of the state, as if it was all hers . the other questions are not related to the invasion, and

now three months plus have passed and questions about high treason have started, so there were questions, for example, to the head of the crimean administration , he was detained. he, i would say, does not really work for the interests of ukraine, this and this information circulated for a long time more than about this head of the kharkiv administration, well, i mean, he was mentioned at all and still he held on to the post until the last do in recent months, perhaps even a month ago, he was detained and is also under investigation. i want to believe that the dbr will really conduct a transparent investigation and show if there is any evidence there, for example, records of telephone conversations or correspondence or anything else, so that society is sure that really, well, the investigation is on the right track and it is really impartial. you

saw it. well, look, we had many examples. do you remember the people's deputy? for a long time, they could not find out whether the people's deputy was drunk or not. was he behind the wheel or did he try to escape there for more than a year, they have been looking for this record, the imf, yes, the ministry of internal affairs says that it was sent to the dbr, the dbr says that they did not receive the last resort, nova poshta is conditional, well, look , you know now, probably many people will ask us why did we actually take on the leader the sbu in the kharkiv region, er, roman dudi well, there are probably many such dudins in general, and why him? i would just like to give such a broader context here . for example, it is known that er, ukraine still has not requested extradition to serbia regarding ex-general of the security service of ukraine naumov, who was in fact ivan bakanov's right-hand deputy, as he was called, and who probably had something to do with the fact that russian troops very quickly took

control of the chernobyl nuclear power plant, at least well, that's how it was reported, one moment, the second moment, in july, they were released ivan bakanova from the security service with the wording that his activities led to victims, well, this is such a serious article , according to what the experts told me, and we do not hear any statements about these two people, for example. from law enforcement agencies to the president's office, not from the dbr, there are isolated cases of this kind. we also hear about such cases, if we take a broader look at this whole story, somehow the puzzle does not come together, and maybe just a little time has passed, or they selectively take on violators or suspects. i liked it your wording, your base is made up really about panana condition. for a long time, nothing has been heard, no information has been heard from the office of the prosecutor general about extradition.

are carried out, so we believe that there is nothing. well, by default, and secondly, of course, the service is indeed available, but i slightly disagree with the information that is circulating, what does it mean that he contributed to the capture of the chernobyl nuclear power plant, as if he worked there? the territories are all white. the chernobyl nuclear power plant is located in them on the way to kyiv. what is there to seize if several dozen went there, there were thousands of military equipment weapons, tens of thousands of people armed with heavy russian weapons, what is there to seize, then the nuclear the power plant guarded by several dozen soldiers of the national guard well, while there it was a little bigger, but it was very difficult to resist the tanks and the artillery there, the aviation flew, well, here is an example of the zaporizhzhia npp. it was also captured in this way and simply besieged, although people we saw in

energodar came out against the equipment of the head they stopped us with their hands. well, here, you have to be. well, objective, really, the conditions were really there. he wasn't. he wasn't the first person, but he was not the second. his calls, his instructions were regarded as, well, subordinate, like, er. direct instruction from time to time, unfortunately, but we will come back to this story again, thank you very much ivan , experts of the ukrainian institute of the future well, that's the end of our program, subscribe to the pages of radio svoboda on the internet, svoboda life will be back on the air tomorrow, if allergies, the drug cetrin will help free up breathing and get rid of itchy eyes and watery eyes - cetrin specifically blocks histamine receptors and usually starts inflammation
