said goodbye to queen elizabeth ii was the first lady of ukraine, olena zelenska, among the five hundred heads of state and distinguished guests invited to the memorial service. on the other hand, the representatives of russia and belarus were not invited. what does such a gesture mean on the part of of great britain alla pugacheva made a statement where she called on the russian ministry of justice to recognize her as a foreign agent and mentioned the russian soldiers who, according to her, are dying for illusory goals, at the same time pugacheva did not use the word war and did not mention the war crimes of russia in a matter of hours her post gained hundreds of thousands reactions to why pugacheva's post struck the russian audience so much and whether such statements pose a threat to the kremlin regime, see svoboda life. congratulations, this is freedom life. my name is

vlasta lazur, we pray live on the pages of the radio freedom on facebook and on youtube, as well as on the air of the ukrainian espresso tv channel. the counteroffensive in the kherson region is progressing. russian forces are trying to slow it down and retreat to more protected positions, rather than stopping it or rejecting it . in weeks, ukrainian forces are likely to retake most, if not all, of the western part of kherson oblast. donetsk oblast, on the other hand, remains the only region where russian troops are still trying to conduct offensive operations, as noted by the institute for the study of war. currently, there is no evidence that ukraine is preparing a large-scale and large-scale counteroffensive operation in the donetsk direction. meanwhile, in the kharkiv direction, the armed forces of ukraine have been controlling the left bank of the oskil river since yesterday. this was reported by the armed forces forces of ukraine about

the mountains. more precisely, this is a river on the banks of which the city of kupyansk in the kharkiv region is spread, so since yesterday , ukraine controls not only the right but also the left bank kupianska well, in his evening address, president volodymyr zelenskyi emphasized that the front is not too quiet now, but the preparation for the next stage of the liberation of ukrainian territories , we will discuss the situation on the front further with a military expert, serhii grabskyi, a military expert, colonel of the reserve of the armed forces of ukraine , joins the air my greetings. good evening. good evening . push back from the president's statements that the ukrainian forces are preparing for the next stage of the liberation of the territory. next after kharkiv oblast. let's decide like this. i cannot guarantee that they will be released before winter because we are dealing with a very insidious and still quite strong enemy despite the defeats inflicted on him. but

if we talk from the perspective of planning feasibility and strategic tasks that can be solved we are now observing such rather active actions with you, and i have a certain conviction that the intensification of these actions will be the next step precisely in two directions , we are primarily talking about the kharkiv direction and in including moreover, i do not know even such a direction will be a higher priority in the southern direction , we are talking about at least the right bank of the dnipro kherson region, because this direction is also extremely important for us, therefore there are reasons to have such restrained optimism to say that the ukrainian offensive and the liberation of our territories will be carried out in the near future, and we are carefully watching how the events will develop. well, the institute for the study of war, which i have already mentioned, also reports that everything is increasing more often, vladimir putin relies on

irregular well-prepared maybe somewhere special these are volunteer units and not trying to restore damaged or destroyed regular units of the russian ground forces do you share this conclusion and tell me please and what does it mean if you predict the course of the war, you know i can’t here to divide the opinion and agree with the opinion of the institute and the study of war , because in this sense we are considering the issue of precisely the fact that the enemy is desperately trying to contain our advance by any means and forces and in order to concentrate additional forces and resources and they are, if you like, improvising in this direction . that is, they involve all possible resources that can be involved within a short period of time, and here we are also talking about criminals who are serving sentences, here we are talking about the so-called volunteer battalions, here we are talking about about private military companies, which in their essence are not a regular army, and are such units of a light

approach, so they can be equipped with certain types of weapons and military equipment, but it is necessary to understand that these units are needed and putin needs this cannon fodder immediately and immediately because it takes time to train more qualified mechanized units of tank units for them and it is this time that the kremlin regime is trying to win in order to slow down or as they think to stop the ukrainian offensive in order to gain time to prepare the appropriate resources and continue the war against ukraine. that is, this is such a step. well, i would not say that it is a normal step for the russians when they are in holes as a result of hostilities is trying to push whatever available resources they have at their disposal in the context of these volunteer battalions of the so-called battalions, today it was already reported that the head of north

ossetia also announced that a third volunteer battalion is being formed in their so-called republic in order to send it to war to ukraine, from what you said, did i understand correctly that these battalions, speaking in general, are not interchangeable for a full-fledged army, or in which case they are in any case is not a full-fledged replacement, because it is necessary to understand that this battalion is being formed, it is given the minimum range of weapons, let's say, and it is sent to the combat zone, sometimes having received less than the minimum training for conducting combat operations. if it is added about the replacement if we are talking about mechanized tank artillery units, then as a result of the losses suffered, the enemy will need at least three to five months, if not more, to restore at least the minimum combat capability of such units and only after that we can talk about the fact that the enemy can concentrate some minimally

combat-capable military units, that is, in no case can these battalions serve as a substitute for regular troops, and i emphasize once again that they are used exclusively as such a fire step for restraining or maintaining the position that they currently hold and are trying to prevent the breakthrough of the ukrainian village of the power plant, the rocket fell literally 300 m from the nuclear reactors and it is known that the wave damaged damaged the building of the nuclear power plant there are no victims, but this is not the first such case , earlier russia struck a mortgage in kharkiv oblast and a dam in kryvyi rih do you expect an increase in just such attacks, especially in winter, that is, does russia have all the capabilities for this, you know, this is actually about terrorist means and

methods of conduct hostilities, therefore, yes. undoubtedly, we should expect an increase in the number of strikes and an increase in the number of strikes on objects that are heat-generating, energy-generating , water-supplied objects in order to inflict the maximum the damage to the civilian infrastructure is emphasized freely because, for military infrastructure, the accuracy and long-range of these missiles is not effective enough to be used, so yes. we must be prepared that the enemy will intensify the delivery of such strikes. will he have enough missiles? well, you know. if they are already using the s300 to strike objects close to the front line, that is, they are unnatural, let's say, missile after missile, in general , of the e-e land-air class, it is used in earth class, it is clear that there is a certain replacement for such missiles, does russia have cruise missiles, for example

, which can strike at a long distance, yes, there is no doubt, are they accurate? no, they are not accurate, but this does not mean that they will not be launched and they emphasize what i said from the very beginning, these are means of terror, that is, it does not matter if they hit the object the first time or not, a rocket carrying from half a ton to a ton of explosives is a danger precisely for civilian residents, and therefore even if it does not hit the object immediately uh, for what purpose it was untargeted, it can cause a lot of damage to the civilian population of our cities. therefore, we must be very careful to understand that the enemy will in no way stop trying to destroy our cities, villages, and he starts with critical infrastructure. in response, ukraine will also strike at russian critical infrastructure facilities. well, you know, the laws and

norms of international military law are already in effect here. we definitely do not have the right as a civilian civilized the state to carry out strikes that harm the civilian population. because this is a war crime. but at the same time, does ukraine have the right to strike at specified military targets , it does not matter where they are located, so definitely she has the right to do this. and this has been repeatedly emphasized not only by our military leadership . was supported by other allies, that is, there are no objections to the destruction of military facilities that harm ukraine in the world, and this is a norm of international military law, as defined in this law these are legitimate military targets, so they should be destroyed. thank you for joining our broadcast. serhii grabskyi, military expert, colonel of the reserve of the armed forces of ukraine, was on radio liberty . well, last night, zaporizhzhia and the surroundings of the

regional center were subjected to massive rocket fire from russian forces according to previous reports. according to the data, about 10 rocket strikes were recorded, in particular, the village of privitne was hit, the house where a family of forced migrants lived was completely destroyed by a rocket strike. there are shrapnel and here you can see what it is . i don’t know what kind of rocket it was. look. my daughter-in-law is from russia and from the kursk region, and that’s the same. well, she calls her relatives. you are fine here

well, in short, fine well, nothing, we will survive this , the neighbor fell down, they dug her up and took her soon, i say there is something with the spine, and they are immigrants from orekhova, the son is disabled and the boy is in the first grade , well, they fell. well, i say, i didn't understand it glasses are flying, everything is falling on my head. i didn't understand anything in general, i was thinking somewhere on the street. i leave half of the house. my son is not there. they took him with all his hands. i am here, after all. but my mother was taken. they soon arrived and the school desk completely fell asleep. i don’t know where they are. i don’t know the needles. she covered her only because they were listened to. it's something like a pipe that didn't collapse, the community gave him a sports desk. well, in order to study, he must have saved this desk because the boys tore it up, covered it with a desk, and that's it. well, it's a failure , probably that's all that the house fell asleep, the desk would have held on if it wasn't for this school desk

the desk was still in use, the explosion was left, er, i went out into the yard to see what was going on in our house, because our windows also blew out, so i started as a neighbor , er, called for help, and he said that his mother spilled it, and his mother arrived somewhere a week ago, heard, ran, i ran with her, my son started to help, but we couldn't do it ourselves, we started calling everyone in the donetsk region, we arrived somewhere almost at the same time as mykola, we went here to our relatives, some went home, some went somewhere further, we are here at grandma's, we say everything here quiet here there is no quiet here nothing like that could happen that it flew here to this village but as you can see, it doesn't matter if it is flying here or not, it is flying here, it destroyed one of these

houses, it was damaged in varying degrees of severity , several of them are currently collecting all the information for community workers and we will know later it was zaporizhzhia well, and overnight today, the armed forces of ukraine destroyed the base of the russian military in the occupied kadiivka in luhansk region, as well as the equipment and personnel of the russian troops on the territory of the forest farm in novoaidar, this is also luhansk region about it in particular, the head of the luhansk region, serhiy gaidai, announced that he published a photo of the destroyed base of the russian invaders in kadiivka, the youth. just now we are showing these photos, this is kadiivka, well, before the action in this novoaidar, we will definitely return to luhansk oblast, i will only add that according to ukrainian intelligence, russia is failing the program of the so -called mobilization in the occupied territories, the gur reports, russia is trying to mobilize men in those territories of the luhansk region that

were already occupied in 2022, in particular in it was planned to find 500 men in severodonetsk, who were supposed to replenish the composition of the second army corps and units of the so-called people's militia. currently, the programs of this so-called mobilization have completely failed. and this is reported by ukrainian intelligence well, serhiy gaidai , the head of the luhansk regional military administration, joins the air. was on our air, and first of all i want to ask you what you are doing now, your region is actually lugo- luhansk region is currently occupied, what are you in front of you there are tasks before the head of the occupied region, well, we have several directions now, one of the main ones is the continuous support

of the military. at this time, after the full-scale invasion of russia into ukraine, and the second direction is a humanitarian e-e, more than 300,000 residents of the luhansk region left, they dispersed to all regions of ukraine, there is no such region where our residents were not there, so we we are opening humanitarian headquarters in each oblast in order to provide assistance to the residents of luhansk region to understand their problems and try to solve them as quickly as possible . when exactly will the territories of the luhansk region be de-occupied by these or other communities, but it will definitely happen. and as soon as one second or third community is occupied there, the

military will say why it is possible to enter certain communities and work more or less safely. the leaders of the military administrations will immediately visit those communities and will already ensure the vital activities of the communities so that there is no pause, no failure, so that people feel that the government is in place. well , i want to return to these photos. this happened a-a well, you know, so far we can talk about the details, only one thing is happening there, cotton we are all used to this word, explosions took place in buildings where either the wagnerites or the so-called lnrivets were located in in principle, it is regular enough that we cannot help but be happy, regular enough, such cotton happens all over the luhansk region, uh, quite precisely, exactly in those premises where the

majority of soldiers are located, and the losses in them, well, from a hundred and more, sometimes up to 200 people in alone in the same building, did they have any decision-making points or something? and where are the barracks somewhere, er, command posts in different ways, it always happens, i understood literally er, literally an hour before our broadcast, i read the news that the so-called yes the so-called public chamber of the so-called lpr allegedly appealed to the head of the region, also so-called leonid pasichnyk, with a request to immediately hold a referendum on recognizing the lpr as a subject of russia. luhansk region is occupied. do you expect any movements regarding such an entry , so to speak, an announcement of the entry of the so-called lpr

into russia, or are there any processes taking place there, we have not seen any active ones recently processes, but i have been talking about this threat for a long time on the grounds that they can simply the occupiers can hold a fake referendum uh-huh quickly there somehow they will mold it and issue uh-uh the results according to the results they ah-but they will all want to join the russian government as part of the russian federation and then already the de-occupation of the luhansk region by the temporarily occupied ukrainian luhansk oblast, it already looks like russia will be a direct attack on russia, and that is, it will give an opportunity to conduct a general mobilization, declare war, and yet another because they have huge problems with the mobilization of

people. they cannot recruit in normal numbers, and this is even evidenced by the fact that wagner went to the management of a private military company to visit institutions where all kinds of punishments are carried out. men and they already campaigned there, campaigned for them to go to fight against ukraine, well, just mobilization. and what can you in general somehow detail how they tried to implement this mobilization there, allegedly, a really huge number of the population left or there are only a lot of elderly people left, or do they also take elderly men, do you know if at first this mobilization took place solely on such cheer-patriotism, er, the reason for the protection of the so -called horde, er, lpr, until later, er, patriotism

somehow faded away because all the same , crippled residents who fought against ukraine came back there, that is, they died in huge numbers, and in principle, those who were able, those who left the region, part of them are hiding they've been trying to get someone for almost six months somewhere, they dragged it out simply by cheating, that is , by getting them to work for a huge amount of money, and the next day they came and already served summonses, and somewhere they gave money to schools, but with the condition that they signed a questionnaire and then checked where the men were based on the questionnaires they began to remove armor from critical enterprises and leave the

bare minimum of men so that at least somehow the enterprises would work. and now we are already seeing a lot of video footage where people are simply being grabbed on the streets and already being dragged away by military commissars, well, that's all will not give any a huge result only causes a certain irritation, e.e., in families, in wives, in children, and so on. and you know, too. i want to clarify that you recently reported that the alleged criminal settlement in luhansk region was released, that the russian invaders left there, then a day later it appeared that they returned there. can you explain what it was? the fact is that during the kharkiv company, a huge number of collaborators ran to the military . it started to run away, but then they came to their senses somewhere there

, it's a war, that's why, well, if you were to say that something is happening in one or another settlement and it will be like that for a week, well, it's impossible , of course, in flint, even the partisans hung the ukrainian flag but all the same, then they came to their senses there, they already understood that such an offensive would destroy luhansk oblast at once. well , unfortunately for us, it does not happen, so they returned part of it to the flint to show the local population that it had already begun somewhere little by little to raise your heads that uh, nothing will happen uh, everything is fine, everything is as it was, and is it more than that, uh, to the residents of such a lane that passes by the front line, they all turned off the internet , turned off mobile communications and pumped information as they are winning there on all fronts,

thank you very much serhiy gaidai, the head of the luhansk regional military administration, was on radio liberty, russia was planning a so-called referendum in kharkiv oblast from november 1 to 7, the kremlin even developed a strategy for holding a referendum about the entry of kharkiv region into the russian federation, the journalists of the radio freedom donbas project received the relevant document from their sources in one of the intelligence agencies of ukraine, according to this document, voting was to take place within seven days, as i said, from november 1 to november 7, it was even written in the strategy the result should have been 75% in favor of joining russia well , the correspondent of the donbas reality project, yaroslav krechko, is joining the broadcast, he is currently in kharkiv oblast, yaroslav, hello, i know who you are obtained this information that the russian forces were planning a so-called referendum er please tell me if you know what way russia planned to

promote the holding of this referendum and campaign for it as thanks to whom and why it was supposed to take place this way was this referendum really planned according to document that we received from our sources, this document contains a map of the front line as of august 24, this indicates that the document was developed relatively recently according to this document they did not count, that is, the organizers of the state referendum calculated that at that time there were about 200,000 people living in the occupied part of kharkiv region, and the turnout should have been more than 70%. about 140,000 were supposed to come and vote, and more than 100,000 were supposed to vote for. of course, these results, since they are written in advance , have nothing to do with reality, but nevertheless , a certain campaigning

company should be formed then, so we see that they should have been posted such billboards against russia are here forever russia eh waiting for home this company was supposed to start literally tomorrow, on september 20, er, an important role was played in it, er, religious holidays were played on these holidays, you had to er, promote this referendum, you had to organize processions, er again, on major religious holidays, but from the first to the 6th of november. and actually on the 7th of november, some kind of finale was supposed to take place, these processions were supposed to take place every day, and the campaign campaign had to try to get people to come and, as it were, vote, which is an important moment there are risks that are indicated in this document that a large part of the pro-ukrainian population is set up in these occupied territories. and here they suggested that the organizer of the referendum should in every possible way

advertise the various social and economic benefits that kharkiv receives, as it were, from accession to the russian federation and also an important point they talked about, they should have said during this campaign that this is already a resolved issue and the accession of kharkiv oblast to russia is not as shown by the counteroffensive of the armed forces forces of ukraine, everything happened quite the opposite, and i will add another important point that a special song was written about the referendum and the so-called referendum anthem was written, in which there were various words about the fact that there is a single people and spiritual unity, that is such a campaign campaign was planned, but it is obvious that it will no longer be held, in particular, in the kharkiv region. well, i understand that the armed forces of ukraine prevented it from being held. well, but this is an excuse now to monitor what is happening in other occupied territories, this scenario is possible coming to repeat thank you very much yaroslav yaroslav

krechko - correspondent of the donbas project of radio svoboda realities was on radio svoboda russian human rights defenders turned to the prosecutor general regarding the prisoners who are being sent to war by six members of the council on human rights under the president of russia, in a letter to the prosecutor general they ask to explain and on which the actual reasons for sending prisoners to the front in ukraine the thing is that according to russian laws , prisoners serving a sentence do not have the right to leave the prison and can do so only under the condition amnesty, pardon or conditional early release, radio svoboda spoke with one of the signatories of this letter, listen to the message that the prisoners were recruited to participate in hostilities, not only in the composition of the wagner dude, well, quite a lot in total, we rated this information as sufficiently reliable, but for me

including as a member, as a prisoner, they didn't tell me that here and there they came to them here and here, and here they were invited there for some rather big money the conditions of which are told in the videos with a man of monsters who does not look like a beauty, it is simply clear that it is necessary to react to it and in a legal sense because , well, what exactly we wrote about in our application is not all absolutely illegal. it has no relation to the russian legislation, the procedures that are provided there, including the procedures for replacing the usual c punishment with something milder, for example, the punishment they must have, or the court can change the punishment to replace the necessary part for a milder punishment and again an order
