8:30 am
film, they received financial aid from us for three months. oleksandr , still, two words about the deer house. i'm wondering. two weeks ago, the un deputy secretary general for political affairs maria dicarlo said that in the coming days, the un will visit the city of the deer house. well, it's already been two weeks , the next few days the deadline has probably already expired, but the mission still hasn't arrived there, will there be representatives of the international red cross in this delegation, which is headed by a brazilian general, please? hmm, this happened on july 29 tragedy from the same day. we started to talk about access to those people who were in the deer hide. i want to emphasize that it is not important for us to get to the deer hide , it is important for us to get to the people who were there, that is, to the prisoners of war in all categories. that is, we wanted to see only wounded and who were probably transferred to some medical institutions where they are now, we wanted to
8:31 am
see those who were not injured and they are either in possession or are in some other place, and you also see the bodies of those people who died in order to inform their relatives that their bodies died and to take part in the transfer of those circles to a relative if it is not necessary to participate in the transfer of those circles, it is death . that is, we conduct these negotiations constantly, but so far, there is no result. these negotiations are confidential, they are certainly not conducted 24/7. then they stop, then they resume again, but, as of now, this is the situation that alexander is in. what is the status of the international red cross in general, in the process of handing over those imprisoned ukrainian fighters who surrendered to the mariupol in azovstalia because well, the ukrainian side believes that many in ukraine say that the international red cross acted as a guarantor of the life and integrity of these people who were handed over to
8:32 am
the russian military in the international red cross itself. how do they assess their status in this process of the transfer of ukrainian and exchange of ukrainian prisoners of war, see we can act within the framework of the international mandate assigned to our organization. that is, we cannot go beyond its mandate, and in particular the third the shinitsa convention indicates that the bodies of people should be handed over as soon as there is an opportunity to hand them over. and as for prisoners of war, their release should take place after the end of the armed conflict or if the parties to the conflict agree on an exchange or we do not like to say exchange we say about simultaneous release and the transfer of those prisoners of war by both sides of the conflict we cannot insist on this we can participate in this process if necessary, let's say facilitate this process or to make sure of the voluntariness of the transfer of a prisoner of war, this is what the third geneva
8:33 am
convention testifies to, and in principle, our role is reduced to the fact that we have to check that the conditions of detention of those people and prisoners of war comply with the norms of international humanitarian law, that is, that they are not subjected to temperature there they have a special treatment, they are kept from, including public, public, interesting community, they are not used in press conferences there, they are not filmed in other videos, and so on and the like in this is ours. we cannot give any security guarantees or, er, transfer there, let's add more. well, take your word and they will receive one hundred percent in accordance with the norms of international humanitarian law, we can check this during our visits. unfortunately, we do not currently have visits to all prisoners of war on both sides, of course we would like to have him, we visit hundreds of people on both sides, but these prisoners of war are thousands and well, of course, this is confusing, of course we would like to have a wider god, but visits with checking the conditions
8:34 am
the representatives of the international red cross were responsible for the maintenance of the azov residents, or not, do you know that we do not divide into azov residents and others there? well, we visited people, i am not ready to say whether they were in azov residents or others, we are in volyn. if we talk about deer, there were two twice immediately after the actual moment of capture and in the first days, our mission was to bring drinking water there and install a drinking water tank there so that we could provide these people with drinking water. i want to say that we have our internal rules visited by these people, and they foresee the opportunity , firstly, to see all the premises used by prisoners of war, and secondly, to have the opportunity for a private dialogue, that is, without representatives of the administration of the institution in which they are located. from the red cross there is at least a list of those people who surrendered themselves as prisoners
8:35 am
under the guarantee of ukraine believes that under the guarantee of the red cross well, let it not be a guarantee but under the protection let's say so of the red cross precisely on azovstali, that is, a list of people, a list of names, surnames , titles, units, records, see when these people surrendered as prisoners, when they left azov , our representatives were there and they registered those people who wanted to register. that is, it is not 100%. these are not all those who did not want to. we cannot force them to register, but for those people whom we have registered, of course there are such lists. and this makes our work much easier because, as a rule, we compile these lists based on a request from relatives, that is, relatives send us a request for searching for missing persons. well, they will be considered missing until their status as a prisoner of war is confirmed by another party, and already on the basis of these requests, the form of these people, and then, if we receive information that this person is a prisoner of war, then the next step
8:36 am
is to demand access to them. well, of course if we are talking about the zols, this intermediate link is not needed because we already have lists of those people, we registered them, well, those who wanted to register , and immediately on the next day we began to try to access the child oleksandr on your the opinion that we need to do now to the representatives of the ukrainian authorities and journalists and representatives of the international red cross and the ukrainian red cross in order to speed up the process of transferring ukrainian prisoners of war in ukraine and in general to save the lives of these people so that such a tragedy as was or the terrorist attack against the people of volyn will not be repeated. it is difficult for me to say what can be done so that such and such a tragedy as in volynivka does not repeat itself. and as for the exchange, only the party, that is, zhenetska, can agree on this the convention indicates that these people should be released, they are not convicted, they are
8:37 am
simply detainees, the desire to release these people earlier is that the party should negotiate their transfer and release. thank you oleksandr vlasenko, spokesman for the delegations of the international committee of the red cross in ukraine let's go further. artem larchenko is with us - he is a resident of balaklia who miraculously survived after being captured for 46 days. he was in a prison camp and they captured him because they found out that artem's brother is a soldier. we greet you good morning good morning, mr. artemy, please tell me your story, when you were at the beginning of the occupation, how did it happen, under what conditions, the communication was not at the beginning, but at the end, before the very liberation. here they were conducting a search, just drove down the street, drove over, caught up with the armored personnel carrier, started walking around, started looking for it. - э оружие
8:38 am
how would they talk, they said что будет well, they asked for weapons, and then they began to look in the closets, they crawled, they found photos there, where the brother is in uniform, and then he said, they left. well, on the 26th before september, they only released them. circle, so that i don't understand. well, so that i don't understand. where am i being taken somewhere? they told you where they are taking you, why not? where are they taking them ? they tied a bag over your head very coldly, and when you got into the cell, the guys told me where
8:39 am
i am, they explained why you were taken for those photos for 45 days, i spent 45 days when you sat there, nobody touched anything, nobody touched anything. oh, the day they released so that's it they put him down, they asked him, he said, “what are you talking about here, what are you doing?” well, i’m talking about serving . nearby or in the cell or in the prison where you were and what kind of people are they and who are they there are such a person up to 8 people in different ways they happened to sit for a week it happened to sit for more than 76 days the guy sat there with sochenko that's different in general, they were different
8:40 am
there were firemen, he was a guy engaged in elections, he was once a member of the freedom party, no, i didn’t say that, and then they took away the springs. he also had a son . how many people are there ? they were also released, or whether there were different fates, there were a lot of people who were not released, they were just released, and some of them turned out to be taken to the last checkpoint and dumped , well, on the territory under the control of ukraine, they asked you to hand over the local serves, and who else is interested in them, well, the point is that they asked their questions in everyone, if they, i understood
8:41 am
it more, they kept people like that so that the city could be bathed , so that it would be easier . some of them were beaten with electricity, some with shockers, some with batons on top of these policemen, but one of them had such a plastic tube, well, thin, i understood myself several times. when the bruises were on, they kept them until the haystacks passed. then they let them out, that is, they could beat them on the first day, the first day, and then wait for the bruises to pass and let them out. i didn’t understand that the tube, well, the plastic tube, was just a thin plastic sewer tube and - and when one of them is no longer there, it gets scattered
8:42 am
several times. artem, the minister of internal affairs, deputy minister yevgeny yenin said that similar places of mass burials found in izyum are also found in higher cities of the kharkiv region. well, in particular, there and balaklia and kupyanski said that he was not the last deputy who found what was in balaklia and in the compartment. well, i will ask you about balaklia, whether people were buried en masse there or there were facts of mass murders there. do you know i don't know, many people disappeared but and where they disappeared is unknown , because i, at least , there
8:43 am
are some of them. they said yes, it was either the porridge was not cooked, but in the morning and in the evening they gave, well , without salt, without anything like that, the only thing that happened was that at noon, a holiday might happen. if the soldiers didn’t finish eating, they could have two plates of soup or something else like that. themselves, what were they talking about, why did they do all this, just to keep everyone in fear, the local population, so that they would be submissive, yes, yes, yes, this is my point of view, no matter what, there is no point in keeping many people there, in general, we are now seeing this in izyum all practically, people who were, well, with signs of torture . you didn't see from their behavior what they had. well,
8:44 am
orders like that or orders specifically to kill there. in this way, i didn't see many with their hands tied, well, i didn't see such and such. well, i just don't know, thank you very much it is not easy to tell, to go through everything again, we are very glad that you remained alive. thank you, a resident of balaklia in izyum, the national police demonstrated what it looked like. these are the cells in which prisoners were kept. now we will show you in the police station of the city of izyum which during the occupation army of russia turned it into its base , they discovered a prison, yes, a torture room, here is the video , told by the head of the investigative department of the police of kharkiv region, serhiy bolvinov. now the investigators are conducting an inspection of the premises, they have already found magazines with a list of detainees kept by the occupiers, as well as
8:45 am
torture instruments, electric cables, we can take a couple of photos there. show now every cell is also being studied where people were kept dna samples and fingerprints are being collected evidence base for the court according to the guilty party in dark basement cells people stayed from several weeks to months , not even always understanding what exactly the occupiers wanted from them. this is how these cells looked like places of detention of ukrainians . yaznenykh serhiy zgurets, a military expert analyst is involved, mr. serhiy good morning. good morning, mr. serhiy, tell us about the current operational situation as of almost nine in the morning. each and every course is over, the darkest money is coming, the bright morning is coming. i am asking all citizens
8:46 am
to carefully observe the situation on the front line now, and it is gaining such a definite, understandable dynamic, that is, first of all, there is a continuation of the counter -offensive in the kharkiv region. we are talking about the fact that ukrainian troops have crossed the askil river and now from the e-e they are leaving the e-e liman yampil beloyryivka this is exactly the direction that looks the most promising because the e-e liman is still captured by the russian troops but it is the understanding that he can be surrounded by the ukrainian armed forces at first and then we are freed, and actually this is precisely and then allows us to implement offensive actions already directly in the luhansk region, and the long -suffering beilohirivka is actually exactly one of these areas where this offensive can be if the
8:47 am
situation in bakhmut continues, around bakhmut, where the silver solidar bakhmut line remains the most difficult, because there continue to be attacks by this fence with an attempt to push closer to the city and to ensure control over the routes leading to this city, it is there now that there are the most heavy artillery battles with the use of both infantry and artillery and the situation in the south there, the dynamics are also clear, there are three directions of attack by the ukrainian armed forces. this is exactly the direction to kherson, the direction from the dry pond of davidiv brid in the direction of novaya kakhovka. and actually in the west of this grouping, where visokopilya is, there are also ongoing actions to maximally extend the yak to the left bank of the dnieper
8:48 am
and now our long-range means are actively working there, giving the impression that the command of the south has repeatedly informed the command of the south from a strong strike and on the crossings that the enemies play to restore a sufficiently rhythmic and no less rhythmic, our long-range means are destroying these crossings, that is, the dynamics on all fronts are, well understandably and to lead and the adversary consists of a lack of manpower from the equipment, which is why the attempts in this mobilization, which are trying to be carried out in different regions of the russian federation, they as they say that this is confirmed by the lack of opportunities in manpower, from which almost all directions where the body tries to carry out defensive or counter-offensive actions suffer, probably in stryi, yesterday the snakes were informed about the liberation by the ukrainian armed forces of the village of belogorivka, which you mentioned, it is
8:49 am
literally there, even less than 15 km if in a straight line to lysychansk, you mentioned that this is such a very suffering settlement, why is it suffering a lot, and most importantly, what is its strategic importance for possible further liberation lysychansk and north donetska, please, and here it is rather not just a practical meaning, we are talking about the dynamics in this part of the front line. and now there are all the prerequisites in the ukrainian army again for the control there of the same northdonetsk and lysychansk, but we we understand that uh, honestly speaking, from a military point of view, these cities are already so plowed over by enemy artillery, they do not have a special military meaning, but the further advance of our troops according to the territory will actually have such a significant symbolic meaning because
8:50 am
let's remember how much manpower and equipment the russian federation put into seizing verodonetsk and lysychansk in a short period of time, using a completely different advance tactic with much smaller losses in equipment, we are moving forward and actually this will be just right another such investigative factor in order for the russian military leaders to understand the prospects of further military actions. of course, this will not affect their plans from the point of view of the need to continue trying but in any case, the direction and advance of the ukrainian army in the luhansk region. well, of course, this is an absolutely positive trend. although i repeat, it has more ideological and political significance than a purely
8:51 am
military one . announced that we understand germany about the new aid package, because it received it and when it receives it, you will tell us there with a separate mercedes mass-2 and the percentage of dingo armored personnel carriers. is this correct? information and when it will be uh really there is talk of uh a slightly larger package of german aid it seems that this is a certain reaction to the political pressure that is being exerted on the leadership of anya germany from all sides uh dingo armored vehicles as you are now showing on the screen is really powerful , modern washing machines, they are needed by the ukrainian army, the transfer to two more mars 2 units is an equally significant contribution to the strengthening of the ukrainian armed forces, but also yesterday it was announced that the transfer of four more pantzir self-propelled guns
8:52 am
howitzers are 2,000. they should be taken as reserves of the bundeswehr, although the bundeswehr said yesterday that despite that , the economic situation there is difficult. together with the howitzers, there will be a total of 22 from the netherlands, but it is also interesting that germany also did not agree to this large contract for 18. there is a boxer on a wheeled chassis on an apc chassis, and these are actually the same howitzers. but installed on a mobile wheeled platform, but these 18 howitzers will be manufactured only in the next three years, this is an important order, but of course the duration of execution is
8:53 am
not satisfactory for us at the current stage, and now, of course, we are waiting for the arrival of artillery and equipment, primarily from the united states states from american stocks, because it will be faster than waiting for even good but long-awaited samples from germany . in the balkans, slovenia and germany have agreed on a circular exchange scheme, as a result of which ukraine will receive 28 modernized fen-55s, the prime minister of slovenia, robert e-e goluba, announced everything, and it is about the fact that slovenia will receive 35 german trucks in exchange for the tanks transferred to ukraine and five car systems, this circular exchange will also strengthen the defense cooperation between the slovenians and germany, now i hope we will show what these slovenian
8:54 am
tanks look like, as noted by the military publication, not many countries and on which old soviet tanks remained in service, they were modernized. slovenia carried out the deepest modernization of outdated t-55 tanks, co-modernization was carried out jointly by the slavic israeli company 100 equals and the israeli audit . in the course of the work, 30 machines were modernized, and this is the only thing that is known. that he has a small, well, non-standard 105 mm non-nato cannon. what can you say, the russians write that it's just junk, i'm getting old, but they give us protection - god, what can i do , what can you females say well, uh, really it would be much better if germany finally gave up this model of the transfer of equipment in a circle because the situation with the ladder is the m55, i understand that it is this modernized ny 105. indeed
8:55 am
, we do not have tanks of those 55 as part of the ukrainian army. - the problem of this tract will be a really non-standard 105 mm gun, which means that for this unit there will be 28 vehicles, that is , relatively speaking, such a tank battalion will be reduced, it will be necessary to provide separate logistics, starting with the provision of work there first of all with ammunition because you have to look for them under only one battalion, it will be somewhat complicated, and the optics are really good and allow you to work at night, so for equipping there, let’s say, a separate brigade of territorial defense, something unique there, those tanks will be able to be taken and given time the transfer of these tanks remains unclear, this is true, and i think that we still need to move to the point of convincing our partners that we need really modern, powerful, and about it, and bmps and
8:56 am
tanks, and actually e-e tanks of the leopard abrams class combat vehicles marker and whether bradley is what we need today on the battlefield the transfer of uh remnants from the time of the soviet union she us we for these really thank you but she does not really satisfy our current real question mr. sergey american - this is the institute for the study of war shows that putin is betting on volunteers in the quasi-republics. today we showed this woman who was pregnant and went to bed so that her husband would not be mobilized for how long, well, where in luhansk, yes, in the lpr, to what extent is there a prospect of gathering some to mobilize someone, some kind of army, to what extent is this calculation correct? i think that this is precisely the attempt to use uh. such units with
8:57 am
the mobilization of the people of bagnare who have already lost their understanding of the professional army of the first as well as at the professional level. how are these good guys in view of the minimum time e-e preparation e-e efforts to mobilize the prisoners all this shows that in fact any quantitative indicators achieved due to such steps of the russian leadership will not in any way affect the improving the effectiveness of combat operations, because actually in the russian army, according to the basic principles that ensure effective combat operations at the level of, let's say, their well, no, not material assets, when the army is at war, first of all, you have to trust your language to the person with whom you are fighting next to you, you must trust the leadership. you must understand the mission. you must trust your own combat equipment. in fact, all these
8:58 am
four parameters are basic for the fighting spirit of any unit. in fact, all these parameters of the russian army are destroyed and therefore not in other words, the recruitment of some number of unmotivated, untrained personnel without equipment, without understanding the mission you are performing, and i do not believe that this place itself will not in any way affect the ability of the russian army and combat operations become effective, which is actually the main conclusion of the current stage, the russians carried out an airstrike on bakhmut at night , reports the head of the region, pavlo kyrylenko, around one in the morning, the enemies launched an airstrike on the city, they hit a high-rise building, three entrances collapsed under the rubble may be. two people are on the spot, rescuers are working. also, on the territory of the community , a chrome car came under fire the night before. one person was injured. at least two private houses were destroyed in seversk during the night, and the russians shelled the old part of avdiivka in the
8:59 am
morning. according to preliminary information, there were no casualties. is serhiy there? they have the opportunity to carry out some successful offensive in the direction of avdiyivka, a lot of suffering seversk and bakhmut eh solidar bakhmut - this selection promotion is already absolutely no no no impossible there remains the traditional historical shelling of the russian side using aircraft and artillery bakhmut eh, they are acting there, they are trying to act, eh, these wagnerites and eh and other units that i am trying to cut off the route of the approach to bakhmut there, the situation is actually difficult, but it is controlled if you you will see the summary of the general staff there it is always said that everyone is behind the offensive on bakhmut , a similar situation is reflected in the zone from donetsk, where the movement to avdiyivka is also based on the same logic, artillery units of the enemy and repulse of these offensives by the ukrainian army there will be a
9:00 am
long-term dynamic, but not unchanging, no, no, it is possible to actively advance further, mr. serhiy . thank you very much for the professional analysis of the military situation . come and read our professional military analytics. next is a minute of silence every morning at nine o'clock for all ukrainians who died in the russian-ukrainian war. next, news with iryna. we will honor the memory of ukrainians with a minute of silence military
