with the 14th separate mechanized brigade posted by the armed forces of ukraine, they went to the border with russia in the kharkiv region in the area of ​​the village of ternova and raised the ukrainian flag there, as the president wrote, it is the most beautiful flag in the world. well, we are already at the border. as they say, what will happen next well, in the kherson region, the enemy continues and almost 6,000 m² were liberated by our army for information from hanna- malyar , deputy minister of defense of ukraine. let's talk about history, as always, it's very interesting, choose yourself and all the best, now for the missionaries, for your attention, let's watch together. good evening. we from ukraine welcome to the broadcast of bbc news of ukraine and from london to the studio olga palamaryuk and today we are talking about such things at the peak of the success of the armed forces of ukraine raised the

ukrainian flags over dozens of new settlements in northeastern ukraine kharkiv under fire russians hit critical civilian infrastructure for the second day in a row and while scotland bids farewell to the queen here in london they are preparing to hold a state funeral, a ceremony that has not been seen since churchill's death, and we are starting with the situation at the front, the armed forces of ukraine have finally liberated at least 5 settlements in the south of ukraine and about 500 square kilometers, and since the beginning of september, more than

3 thousand square kilometers have been returned to the control of ukraine, the commander-in-chief of the armed forces of ukraine reported in the kharkiv direction we began to advance not only to the south and east, but also to the north , there are 50 kilometers to the exit to the state border said valery zaluzhny. this is how the ukrainian military was met in balaklia. such a significant advance means that the forces of kyiv tripled their declared successes in a little more than 48 hours. during the counterattack in the east, ukrainian troops entered the important cities of izyum and kupyansk, the ukrainian advance, if it continues, will be the most significant change on the front line since how russia withdrew from the areas around kyiv in april

, bbc correspondent orlagerrina reports from kharkov war trophies left by russian troops during their hasty escape now the city of the kremlin is in ukrainian hands russia says that its forces have been redeployed in places it looks like a defeat for president putin it is not just a defeat but humiliation here is the pinnacle of ukraine's success, this is a city of ukraine, the recapture of the city is a raisin for the russians. it was a key base in the newly liberated areas, ukrainian soldiers are greeted as heroes . advance so fast that the ukrainians barely have time to count their achievements, just look at these smiles, but some will bear the scars of this war for the

rest of their lives viktor hryhorovych from khersonska who would you be, is not going through anything the moment when a russian soldier ordered him to kneel and threatened to shoot him if he refused he could not do it quickly. so he was brutally beaten. he clearly said goodbye, but the last one. the victories became an incentive for ukrainians. they raised the morale of the people. now many hope that the a turning point in these places, russia's military ambitions lie in ruins, but this is not the end of the war, the kremlin will obviously strike back, and when

it comes to the capture of ukraine, president putin is counting on the long term, the offensive of ukrainian troops has serious consequences for the entire russian operation, according to british intelligence due to the offensive of ukraine, russia withdrew its troops from the entire occupied kharkiv region to the west of the oskias river, on wednesday, ukraine regained a territory that is at least twice as large the great london square, it is stated in the report about the significant importance of the lightning offensive of the armed forces of ukraine , military expert glen grant, it is absolutely obvious that there was a major breakthrough, it is simply incredible that the ukrainians were able to concentrate so much power in one small area before the breakthrough, and that the russians did not see this and as soon as they broke through behind the front line, literally nothing happened, the russians literally calmed down and fled how do you know two

key areas over which the ukrainians established control kupyansk railway junction in the northern the part through which the majority of russian supplies pass south to the central regions and raisin , and from what i hear and from the photos i see today, it looks like raisin was taken, but what exactly? equipment and they simply ran away on trucks and the depth of the attack is quite serious, we are talking about hundreds of kilometers in places. will have to stop. as it turned out, the quality of the russian soldiers was very weak, they held the vanguard mainly with the help of artillery and literally forced the ukrainians to retreat little by

little, killing their artillery, so as soon as the breakthrough happened, the ukrainians found themselves behind the artillery, at that moment all the russians simply gathered and fled, and i must say that they fled they literally fled in trucks, civilian cars, bicycles, and in some places they simply ran away through the forests and the ukrainian army went to push them out of the forests. that's what what is happening in the north what is happening in the south is a different question and nothing is still clear there the lightning successful counteroffensive of the armed forces became a real surprise not only for the russian occupying forces but also for the partners of ukraine and the news from the front significantly changed the mood of many politicians in the european union exactly are responding to messages from ukraine in european capitals, we will ask bbc correspondents hryhoriy zhigalov, who joins me from brussels

hryhoriyu, so what are they saying in the european union about success in the armed forces and whether this can lead to more active support of ukraine with weapons and finances. well, i can say that not only ukrainians have been glued to the screens of their smartphones for the past few days, regularly updating the news feeds. here in brussels , many people also followed the news at first. it was difficult to understand the scale events at the front, but when a large international publication began to write, and with headlines about a lightning offensive, about the fact that russia is retreating, about the fact that ukraine is returning thousands of square kilometers of its territory here little by little, i began to give another crack, here is this myth that russian propaganda about a supposedly invincible second army was built for ten years , messages from some politicians began to appear in the world. one of the first to speak out was the president of estonia, who wrote on twitter, i will quote like many of you with all my heart i wish and keep my

fingers crossed for the success of the armed forces of ukraine, they show that they are capable of doing true spirit and courage for many in the european union, this was another proof of how effectively the ukrainian armed forces the forces use the opportunities provided by their western partners. and this is another argument in favor of the idea that support for ukraine should be continued, here is what the minister of foreign affairs of latvia wrote, their actions prove that the weapons that the ministry of defense of ukraine provided friends are very well used in combat, the supply of weapons should be continued so that ukraine could win quickly and decisively in the ukrainian ministry of foreign affairs, by the way, i also expect that the successes of the ukrainian army will convince western partners of the importance of supporting arms to ukraine, well, there are also some interesting statements from european politicians or from those countries where germany is still wavering. germany's apostle in ukraine

said in an interview with the nv radio station that the official berlin was in a quote delighted with the offensive of the ukrainian armed forces in the actions and in the south at the same time, she explained that there is quite an ongoing discussion in the country itself regarding the possible supply of tanks . now, as observers note , the pressure on the government of the shul is increasing, but i personally paid attention to the statement of the leader of the italian and legal party meteos alvinia, this is important because there will be elections in italy, so this is the line, which used to be against the sanctions , today already supports the supply of arms to ukraine , he said. the front and the retreat of the russian military are now actively beginning to discuss the situation in which putin found himself and writes about it that things are getting complicated for him not only at the front, not only in the economy, analysts drew attention to the confusion of russian propaganda in the first days of the

ukrainian counter-offensive. and how some bloggers began to very actively criticize the actions of the authorities and put the blame and failures of the russian army at the front on people in high offices there in moscow. well, it is not yet clear how far this may have consequences, but it is definitely a moment which many people are now paying attention to, colleague. thanks for the conversation. it was hryhoriy zhegalov, a bbc correspondent from brussels. at the same time, the armed forces of ukraine are vacating population points and in luhansk oblast, the head serhiy gaidai of the luhansk military administration confirmed the liberation of populated areas of the region, they are being cleared, but it is not yet known which village it is in question, according to him, the russian military is leaving the luhansk region in vain while queuing for cars with looted things. gaidai added that all the heads of communities in the luhansk region are ready to return promptly to populated areas after

a military team in the ministry of defense of russia released a video this weekend where they tried to explain the reasons for their retreat and more about moscow's reaction to the counteroffensive of the ukrainian armed forces will be told by the bbc correspondent stist rosenberg, look at the fishley again, officially russia does not call it a retreat and definitely not a rout, the word it uses is regrouping, for example, the morning copy of the government edition of the russian newspaper, which seems to refute the clear spread by the ukrainian media about the shameful flight of the russian troops, the newspaper claims that the soldiers were not interested. and this was a regrouping, but there are other publications. somehow this is the moscow komsomol in which it is said that the russian military underestimated the ukrainian army and this is what led to the defeat, which caused a wave of anger on pro-russian telegram channels and among pro-russian bloggers who

consider the mistakes of the russian ministry of defense to be the cause of what happened in the kharkiv region, but so far nothing indicates that putin has changed his views, all his speeches and comments over the past few years indicate that he does not see himself as a sovereign state. he considers it a historical part of russia, but here is what is interestingly important the thing about putin is that for more than 20 years he looked like a winner and had the reputation of a winner. but after february 24 of this year and the beginning of the russian invasion. his decision to attack ukraine, we no longer see this image. everything that happened after that date only confirms that president putin is very in the meantime, kharkiv has been under heavy fire for the second day. on the previous evening, the russian military struck the kharkiv thermal power station, which led to the temporary

loss of electricity in several regions, as reported by the head of the kharkiv regional military administration, oleg synogubov, as a result of rocket attacks in kharkiv and a large part of the region, the power supply disappeared without electricity, the pumps that supply water to people's houses did not work, it is known about the death of four energy workers today at about 1 o'clock in the afternoon, the russians shelled kharkiv again, critical infrastructure was damaged, they stopped metro and other electric transport informed the city council, and my colleague, bbc correspondent victoria zhugan vito, will tell more about the situation in the city and the region the night before, one of the most massive attacks on energy infrastructure took place, now we are talking about the zmiyiv tpp, it is the largest power plant in the khar lviv region, one of the largest thermal power plants of ukraine. the minister of energy said that as a result of the attacks , hundreds of thousands of ukrainians were left without electricity.

electricity supply in the region and kharkiv in particular good evening with this information we receive e.e. communal services were restored but there were problems with electricity and water supply again. why? because on the day russia again increased its shelling of kharkiv and the city authorities. the regional authorities assessed today's shelling as the same as yesterday's. similarly to the situation with the blackout. they said that today's blackout is the same as yesterday's. this is just a repetition of yesterday's scenario. so, the last information we heard was that the kharkiv energy rescuers and utility workers continue to try to restore electricity supply and eliminate the consequences of daytime shelling as early as 5 p.m. o'clock, the leader ova blue-lipped wrote that russia is shelling kharkiv, he asked people to stay in shelters, and earlier, before that, we learned the details

of the daytime shelling, which took place at 1 p.m., and there the kharkiv prosecutor's office says that russia was shelling cluster shells from hurricanes and, as a result of all these shellings in the city, the electricity and water supply also disappeared. if we talk about the liberation of the population, i want to quote the deputies of the izyum city council, maksym mastilnyk, at least 1,000 residents cities died as a result of military operations, but an even greater number of people suffered due to the fact that they could not provide them with the necessary medical assistance in time . limited , similar to the military, who, as you say, saw this picture themselves. not so much, but now they communicate even with their own families, because they get

in touch when they can and report only what they can report. accordingly, we draw information from official sources, for example, the general staff reported today that law enforcement officers are now very active in the liberated territories, documenting evidence of mass crimes by the russian army, in particular, they report that it is a violation of the customs and laws of war and international humanitarian law, and the bbc also spoke to is the mayor of izyum, and he informed that in izyum in particular , but this is also happening in other settlements. according to the general staff, the cleanup is now underway then there will be filtering, what does this mean during the sweep, the ukrainian military is looking for the russian military, those who merizuma said can still be hiding in apartments in the houses of the civilian population, and also the

ukrainian army will be looking for collaborators and as he said to knock them out from there, the next danger in these settlements is a mine, because usually during hostilities not all shells explode and then the state emergency service is engaged in demining for a long time. as was the case, for example, in chernihiv oblast long after the russians left there. well, finally, the question is where will the people return to? as the mayor of izyum told us , civilians can return there in about 10 days. but for example, in izyum, 70% of the housing stock, especially high-rise buildings, is very damaged, and the mayor says that it is not known whether it will be possible to restore so this is roughly the picture that people who want to return home can expect. thank you. this was bbc correspondent victoria shugan, and today is the fourth day of mourning in great britain for queen elizabeth ii, her majesty has died

on september 8 in the scottish castle, bal morel , the queen's state funeral will be held in westminster abbey. on september 19, the funeral procession on sunday left bal morel for the capital of scotland, edinburgh. thousands of people came out to see their monarch on his last journey . bbc correspondents saw how it happened. the place she loved the most was the ball. morel was not only a royal residence, but her own home where she rested every year from the burdens of power and the unwavering attention of the public. today, the attention of the public is focused on this , the first public appearance of the rudnytskyi lion a landscape that i was familiar with from childhood, from bal morola to aberdeen, the procession moves slowly past the towns and villages where she was known not as a queen, but as a neighbor or he cardina nile bankuri dramok in this lies
