connects kharkiv and slovyansk in the neighboring donetsk region to slovyansk from raisin ak literally only 50 km and in fact it can be said that izyum is the gate of donbas which is now closed for the russian troops that local residents talk about life under occupation and liberation listen to them , we waited every day, we waited every day, from day to day, we talked with our neighbors, we placed bets, tomorrow there will be the day after tomorrow, there will be news for us . ukrainian television, we specially went to that side this morning, we did not see any ukrainian soldiers, we went specifically to our mother on that side to talk with our boys because we met the first stage on the btrah there

on self-propelled vehicles, we talked and there were tears in our eyes. well, how happy we are i don't know what happened to our guys, i don't know, they did such a job so quickly, we didn't at all, well, we didn't think it would pass so quickly, with tears in our eyes, we met with tears in our eyes, to be honest, we were waiting for them, but we just didn't expect that so suddenly they they will come, but they waited for six months, and i was very glad that they started running. and in the evening, in the afternoon, at night, at half past two in the morning, the shelling began, and they say that they themselves waited for their location there. where were they? yes, you know i am

not what i am saying, that is quite complete what is happening in izyum now and how the ukrainian forces saw it after the liberation, let's talk further with us, deputies of the izyum city council maksym strelnyk, we congratulate you greetings slava glory to the heroes of ukraine well, i know that they are already starting to let izyum into izyum, so far i understand that not everyone who wants to and even journalists are not allowed in yet, but i see that representatives and representatives of the government and some deputies have already gained access to the city please tell me what is happening there now . what do you know, what is happening there now, and what is the actual task before the ukrainian forces , before the ukrainian authorities, the local authorities.

are jointly carried out by the armed forces of ukraine and law enforcement agencies, therefore official statements we welcome to hear from the government of ukraine and the general staff the good news that we have been waiting for for six months already in the near future now, for now the entry into the city for civilians is limited, at the moment only humanitarian cargo and volunteers who go with this and also other organizations whose funds provide assistance, a very serious challenge is now facing the city authorities in relation to the approaching winter, because the russian invaders at the beginning of their aggression destroyed in all the heat supply communications of the city and we hope that we will receive help from the leadership of the

regional military administration of the state power from our international partners in order to ensure the normal life of the city as soon as possible, including in the winter heating season. there is hope for the winter, everything will be in time, we have hopes for this, there are very serious desires to do it our sister cities e-e in the european union in ukraine also consider our partner cities to help us in this. we hope that we will have time to conduct all the necessary examinations, design and estimate work and start construction already, at least from

some individual districts, some individual houses in order to to satisfy this need for those people who were in the city all this time and did not leave it . therefore, we need to help them stay in their native land with the arrival of the armed forces of ukraine who freed them from this captivity. maxim said that volunteers they are currently allowed into the city. please tell me what you know about the humanitarian situation in the city, the humanitarian situation is difficult, first of all, there is a very urgent need for medicine because the russian occupiers destroyed all the health care facilities, looted all the pharmacies and medicine, this is the first thing that is needed by our residents also have patients who

need urgent hospitalization, the situation with food products is also difficult, but in principle, with all the efforts available, we can very quickly satisfy all food needs goods, hygiene goods and essential items for our residents, i understood you and please tell me what you know about what the russian invaders left behind. for example, literally the day before, iryna vereshchuk , the minister of the temporarily occupied territories, for example , reported that while retreating from kupyansk, the russian the forces, so to speak, forgot the teachers in the city, whom they brought to russia to adjust the educational processes there, or in izyum, do you know of similar cases in izyum, or did they also forget someone there, or did they all take them, unfortunately?

er, the posipaks, their collaborators, traitors , representatives of the aggressor country, who were in izyum, were mostly able to escape by kicking their heels, as soon as they felt the approach of the armed forces of ukraine, they fled so quickly that they left very serious stocks of ammunition of their weapons, including heavy ones, and now all these trophies will work for the benefit of the armed forces of ukraine and destroy their former owners, well, we know about the trophies. we paid attention to it yesterday, but you are talking about the people who cooperated with the russian forces those whom they brought, that is, everyone in the city left the city, i understood correctly. no, not all of them are the most famous public figures of collaborators who have already been

banned from the pzj party and other parties who, in their activities, promoted this russian measure, this is the same named head of the raisin and district as he called himself vladyslav sokolov. unfortunately, he was able to escape from the city. although all these six months he was deceiving people by manipulating them, saying that russia seemed to have come here forever and if necessary, they would become a breast and protect the russian peace in izyum, but in fact, they were the first, even before the russian occupiers, already fled to the aggressor country on its territory, but we were hoping that the topic of autumn would have something to do with us , but i hope that uh, they might have disappeared from us, the

speaker . about what is happening now in the de-occupied izyum of the kharkiv region well , meanwhile, in kharkiv itself, there are again interruptions in the work of the metro literally this morning on the official pages of the kharkiv metro it was reported that traffic was interrupted for technical reasons local residents social networks also reported about interruptions in the supply of electricity, and for the past night i will say that no shelling of kharkov was recorded. at least this was reported by the local authorities. instead, a day earlier, i would like to remind you that russian troops struck tet-5 in kharkov, as a result of which the power supply was completely or partially disrupted in in the regions of ukraine, what is happening in kharkiv with us live from the city, maryan kushnir, correspondent of svoboda radio, maryana my congratulations, first of all, is there electricity supply in the city now? well, in general you know, it's not the first day you've been working there, what kind of

emotions do the locals share with you. i congratulate you . at the moment, the electricity supply has been restored in this city and how it is in the region . they threw all their might into it and repaired it quite quickly, that is, in the afternoon until four o'clock on the fifth day, there was no light, but it was just restored in relation to what is happening in kharkiv. and actually today, no arrivals were recorded. if it were said, but the previous ones such things happened and the city was badly damaged and a lot of people were injured. of course, it is difficult to describe their mood, because people have a very negative attitude to what is happening, they are also being fired upon by russian troops. they clearly articulate this and say that kharkiv will not forgive such an attitude towards themselves, although they hope that with such actions as today, this kind of complete silence

will be greater and the city itself will be almost empty. the only thing is the most difficult situation. of course, it is in the northern selfie, these shops do not work according to the principle of communication. it is difficult. in fact, today i spoke with the residents of my clinical delivery , so in some houses there is water supply, in some there is no water supply, because... there are broken communication systems, uh, also. somewhere there is gas supply, somewhere there is no, and the only thing is electricity. if it really is in this place, uh, well, actually, the stakes themselves suffered if i did not manage to see b in principle, if his house, well, something flew into every house, there is strong destruction, there is a weak

destruction, that is, this place was very badly damaged, but people are partially returning, but actually such houses, er, that survived, apartments that survived and live already in the conditions that exist, they say that well, well, it’s like communications, but they are very happy to return and would not like to see more selfies like this, and now she is hoping for the restoration of repairs. in some places, people are independently repairing holes and patching the roof and preparing for winter because, well, in those there are holes in the houses, respectively, but now it's autumn, the rain is falling into the apartments themselves, and people need to avoid dampness, which is also the dismissal, and that's how they explained today, well, now we're taking a picture. well, you can see the weapon , er, how does the optics look, and in fact, it 's er, it's enough impressive to me because well, i did not see while riding how many national points were so destroyed during the war. well,

if we take into account those that are now freed from the occupation actually kushnir, correspondent of radio svoboda , thank you. and what do the citizens of russia know about the counteroffensive of the ukrainian forces in the kharkiv region, i would like to remind you that the ministry of defense of russia stated that the russian armed forces regrouped the units that were in kupyansk and izyum of the kharkiv region, allegedly for the protection of donbas, do the citizens of russia themselves believe in this explanation and what do they think about it, the survey was recorded by our colleagues from the russian service of radio liberty listen i don't know anything, i only know what they are reporting, well, there are some sources and second sources. and what is really happening there, i don't see and i can't know for sure, of course yes no well, i know that there was no such thing as retreating, yes, i know that’s how the military situation in this region turned out

yesterday, literally, all the telegrams of the channel about this pier are apparently false to here from the commanding country of our country , i don’t hear it. i heard that i don't follow the politician, i was nervous at the beginning, then i stopped following, i heard about the regrouping. do you think that i should dress for this simple time ? i definitely know the position because it is written on the internet. kadyrov was indignant that we leave the position to think about the tactical action . i don’t know anything like that and i don’t have the information. i assume that we don’t have everything. even the means of the information bridge know about it, but only the special services, as it stands, and the second one. i know only what they say on the radio and television.

they said that we are retreating in a tactical sense. we can advance, retreat, and win in general. well, yes , let me know that it will be a long story. summing up the events in the kharkiv region, i will say that literally today the first group of journalists was allowed into the city of balaklia. we hope that this evening or tomorrow morning we will be able to show you footage from the liberated balaklia. well, in the meantime, we are moving to the south of the country. russian troops have left kiselevka, this is a strategically important point in the american institute for the study of war informs the kherson region about this in its new summary of satellite images of russian positions in kiselyivka, 15 km to the northwest from kherson show that all but four russian vehicles have moved away from their former advanced positions, which is consistent with rumors that groups of the so-called dnr left kiselevka and

retreated back towards the river, as analysts note, kiselevka is an important operationally important point from an operational point of view for the russian troops and around kherson, that is why this is the last large population center on the e58 highway, as well as the railway line between the current ukrainian positions and chernobaivka. the most remote part of kherson, the obvious withdrawal of russian troops from this position may threaten the ability of russian forces to defend the northwestern outskirts of kherson, according to an analyst review. well, the authorities of ukraine have requested additional supplies of weapons from the united states, in particular , long-range missile systems, this is stated in a document sent by the ukrainian government by an american congressman he ended up at the disposal of the wow street journal, in the document, the publication lists 29 types of weapons systems, ammunition, which according to

official kyiv ukraine needs to continue the offensive in 2023, the list includes land -class tactical ballistic missiles with a range of up to 300 km , tanks, drones, anti- ship artillery systems, make a harpoon, and also 2,000 rockets for rocket salvo systems himers writes the vostreet jordanal well, join us on communications taras zoftenko, an expert on national security issues, my congratulations to you. i congratulate you. svoboda and he shared his thoughts on why the united states is delaying these missiles with a range of 300 km, he literally said that washington's policy is very slow and timid in this matter because they are not ready to give such missiles yet. please tell for yourself do you understand? and why

has ukraine still not received the weapons it needs for itself, and i think we should divide the issues that relate to the weapons that are already being delivered, and these deliveries have been officially announced, and the issues that are outside the public space, yes, because it is not necessary, those things that are not publicly announced, not necessarily the situation is such that we, let 's say, do not possess them, as far as long-range tactical missiles are concerned. for the himers of these so-called attacks, i think that the situation here is a little different, since the very format of using these himers systems and the format of their practical application on the battlefield are already clearly developed and developed in the format of maximum interaction with our american partners, i.e. conventionally speaking, we use their results for the purposes of setting up for

targeting and accordingly. thus, our american forces do not always clearly know where the installation is and at what targets. it fires, in principle, this is the format of the use of these weapons he is absolutely reliable from the point of view of how our american partners look at it . that is, there is no such fact of uncertainty and , well, what can provoke from the point of view of the white house some kind of escalation. when we start to use these systems in some uncontrolled way and actually, this is our practice of using these himers systems jointly with the americans, it basically guarantees that ukraine has these long -range ataxin ballistic missiles, and so it will also use them with the maximum in agreement with our partners, therefore, it seems to me that, well, let's say that these ballistic missiles will appear in our arsenal and for use in the use of our armed forces even before it is about them

officers and, in principle, this is hinted at a little bit by the well-known article of zulzhny generals zulzhny and zabrodsky about the fact that the airfield in the crimea near sak was hit by ukrainian missile weapons, well, that is, we can talk about the fact that potentially considering the fact that the mechanisms ah, the use of these himers systems, they are as close as possible and as honest as possible with our american partners, they cannot have this argument about the fact that the supply of long-range missiles to these systems is may provoke certain risks due to the fact that there will be no control over the use of these missiles, because in any case we hit those targets that the american intelligence highlights for us with coordinates and, accordingly, intelligence, and this happens under the control, including of our american partners, well, if it is really as you say then i have even more questions why are they delaying until now or the question of the official announcement this is already a

question of transferring this uh this situation to the political plane when the united states of america officially recognize the supply of such weapons, this is automatic. well, let's say that it exacerbates the political interaction and, well, the political component of this conflict. of the allies of the united states of america, the main thing is not what is announced, but the main thing is what happens on the battlefield, and the main thing is to give us a resource so that it is in our hands and we use it, the only question is how much it will be officially announced and when this will be done, this is already a secondary moment, i think that the united states of america in this context they understand this nuance very well and they are just the eyes of the right

moment for this announcement to be official, it served not only well, the goal is that the public at large will officially know that we have these weapons and also served as a factor of pressure on the leadership in the kremlin. and for this, you need to choose the right moment and you need to choose the right form of the official announcement here of such deliveries, i am more than sure that, well , actually, the amount of western weapons that we use in practice is much larger than what is officially said, especially since all this is said late. so we understand that the deliveries are already announced when these weapons are actually at the front in order to reduce any risks at the stage of delivery. well , let's talk about what is happening on the battlefield at the front. the day before, the national guard reported that the defense forces of ukraine the donetsk people's republic entered sviatohirsk and liberated it , and it is also reported that the fighting continues, and

also today serhiy haida and the head of the luhansk region reported that the russian forces had left kreminna. i remember very well that all these settlements were occupied by the russian forces for a very long time. lasted for several days and that week. what can you say about donetsk region, luhansk region, what is the prospect of liberation there? so far, we see the situation in the next uh-uh as follows what uh-uh ukrainian counteroffensive in the kharkiv direction it started at a very well-chosen moment with very well-chosen accompanying circumstances and uh-uh what uh-uh we constantly emphasized that in principle with regard to the counter-offensive the priority for us is the south direction and in principle we thus forced the russians to expect a counteroffensive right there in the first place, this also served as the factors that the current actions of ukrainian defenders to liberate our territories in the east of ukraine are so

successful because the russians were neither organizationally nor psychologically ready for is like that to such an intensity of hostilities, and hostilities in defense. that's right, and exactly in this direction, and this means that at least in this area, we seized the initiative from the russians, and so far, well, the command of the armed forces is also clearly monitoring the situation and understanding the situation that here is this moment, while the initiative is in our hands, it must be used to the maximum. actually, based on the operational situation in the eastern direction, it is absolutely not excluded that we are successful in liberating the territory from the kharkiv region we can transfer the kharkiv region to the neighboring regions. a little further south, so to speak, as much as the situation will allow. therefore, in principle, if at the operational level at the tactical level, the command of the armed forces of ukraine will see what we

can do. and continue to use these circumstances, that is, the forces and positions of the russians continue to fall like dominoes, this moment must definitely be used until the russians recover, well, finally, and until they understand how to react in this situation, because in principle, this is for them, well, at least at the operational level, this situation turned out to be a complete surprise for them. by the way, speaking of what is wrong with you, do they not recover? i literally read the news that a russian member of the state duma from the communists of the zyuganu, he said that they say that the special operation there is already growing to the level of war, they say, let's think about mobilization, what do you think russia will decide on mobilization, or is this too much of a red line? i think that all these versions, all these ideas well, it would be so so to speak, we see in the russian information space that it’s a kind of uh, well, as they say, a test of

advice. that is, it’s a competition of different uh versions of different interpretations of events, a competition of these tractors among themselves, because we see that one uh part of the russian so-called tells the politicians that the king is actually good or the yars are bad, that is, this fake marshal, what about gerasimov and so on, they apparently do not answer to their president, and that's why if this is the situation , others are talking about what uh control is still in the hands of putin, and just as strilkov girkin himself talks about it. yes, he says that the entire military and political leadership of russia should be shot, and that includes the supreme commander. in principle, i am more than sure that the russian regime is monitoring the public reaction to the first and second versions, and according to which version will win, one will be chosen if the final plan of action , because, well, for the russian regime, it has already become

it is obvious that their general strategy for ukraine as a whole and their general strategy for the war against ukraine was already established in the first week of the invasion, and that is why from that moment they switched to the regime. is taking place on e moods inside the country e-e we considering that they have propaganda have twisted the population to the maximum degree of opposition , they must before making a decision about mobilization about the announcement true full-fledged and yes then they must understand how it will be, well, where the wind is blowing, so to speak, in the half-empty heads of russians and grouped by this propaganda and
