very chernihiv cherkasy odesa mykolaiv oblast there literally somewhere alarms have just been announced p andriy to the question about the exchange of prisoners well we understand that there is a lot of data we do not know it is possible and it is right that they do not say and how much of a surprise it was for you yesterday because well for most it was a shock in a positive sense well, to be honest, i had insider information that something like this was going to happen, but i couldn't even imagine the fate of the number of released prisoners and, most importantly, the names the last name of the people, many of whom i know personally, and i just looked at this list, called my friends who were there when they, when

people passed one by one, some were carried on stretchers, some were led, some were even barefoot , some were in ordinary slippers and it hurt for everyone well, of course it hurt especially for those whom you knew and when my friends ended up here in this territory well, in turkey i just, well, it was, you know, it was one of the happiest days since february please tell me one more a short question, despite all those statements about mobilization, about what they want to use, can use nuclear weapons, er, the armed forces of ukraine er, you can say, they are advancing according to schedule

, and the offensive continues and is no longer the axis. what are the main trends you see now? what could be singled out? well, where is the meeting directly in the combat combats of the ukrainian and russian troops? well, the most difficult situation now in the donetsk direction is this direction er, the route to it from dnipropetrovsk. from piskiv and to karlivka, it is south of avdiyivka. they still entertain the illusion, er, the russians, that they can capture avdiyivka, and therefore they are trying to go to er, go to vodyane for a trial run, and leave from the south by car, but you know, they've been doing it for several months in a row, they've been asking , maybe there's a meter a few meters a day that's losing an insane number of its people. the situation is

difficult. the situation is very difficult in the bakhmuta region. they approached the neighborhood bahmuta they are simple this city is terrorized by constant shelling, mostly on residential areas, that is, they just go to where people live and try to force people to leave the city just because of such terror. well, ukrainian military children, so the situation is in the donetsk direction, it is difficult ah well, the situation in the south is also difficult, but at least according to this information that i have, the ukrainians are making some progress, there are successes , the units that are fighting there, they ask not to emphasize on their tactical actions ask no to talk about the settlements where they are advancing well, but the advancement is possible there, not as

fast and not as serious as in the kharkiv region , because you imagine kharkiv is forests, forest-steppe, and kherson region is just open steppe, where everything is visible, where russian reconnaissance drones work, where russian satellites see it everywhere, that’s why there, well, the situation is more difficult there, but the ukrainians are working , and the main thing is simply that, you know, people do not lose such motivation and the will to win. that's what what distinguishes our troops from the russians is that they fight for, it is not known what, or most of these people who fight, they fight for money, their salaries are constantly raised, and they are constantly offered

some kind of benefits. this is what they fight for, this is the only thing that motivates them, but the military knows this very well, money can not be the main motivation of a fighter, of course, the military must be provided and as well as possible best the provision of all strata of our population, but this is not the main motivation, the main motivation, after all , is the protection of our own ukraine, and the people who are fighting, they realized that the situation is becoming existential, either we or they, because they set the task of destroying it for us, so we have to destroy the enemy and defend your life. actually, thank you andrii tsaplienko for your expert analysis, a military correspondent , a person who knows very well how

to cover what is happening on the fronts . thank you for your analysis right now, just in these minutes. i understand that there is a briefing in the president's administration about the released prisoners with the participation of yarmak, the head of guru budanov. also, i understand that the minister of internal affairs denys monastyrskyi is there, if there are any interesting excerpts, we will definitely listen to him pavlyuk your vision of this situation, especially considering now we are dealing with a difficult topic, and we didn't want to think about it before , we didn't want to think about it at all , but nevertheless, if the russians dare to launch the same tactical nuclear strike, well this will not only apply to ukraine. it will also apply to poland, where you have worked for a long time. you know the mood there. and in this context,

we would like to hear your opinion with a certain expert analysis of how the poles feel about everything that is happening now and the development of events. we understand that they definitely support us. and for that, a big thank you to ishana, this is how they look at the fact that putin is so ready for escalation, if allowed, i would start with victories here, all my colleagues were talking about victories and yesterday it was the victory of liberation, the liberation of kharkiv oblast is a victory, we repelled attacks from kyiv, this is a victory, we liberated northern ukraine, this is a victory, snake island, a victory, an attack on kherson, this is all one chain of victories of our beautiful armed forces and our ukrainian people, eh, and i would say about the great victory that we have already received, we already received, regardless of the fact that today there is a war , and you all know that we came to europe before the war or to the world

. under the influence of russia, today the whole world already knows that we are the ukrainian nation and the ukrainian people, the state of ukraine is not russia, and this is already a huge victory , even if i allow different options for us, because after all, that monster will not stop, he will continue to be with us to fight and we have a lot of traitors, we see it, the law on collaborationism has finally been adopted, and it is thank god, but it is not fully effective yet, because the judges release the collaborators under some conditional terms, which is unacceptable in wartime, but the world is looking at it and and i wonder what this is all leading to, that we have already won huge victories, we have already won finland, at one time we lost territory in the war with russia, but the state does not exist, there is a beautifully flourishing state, the nation is there and they are developing, we will also develop and

ukraine will already be all this, period what as far as the world is concerned, the world will not leave us, this is already clear, because the world saw how ukrainians resist, how ukrainians fight for their freedom, for their independence, and in particular not only in poland, i recently happened to be in france in austria when they heard what we said in ukrainian, they saw the tapes, the next cup of coffee in their hands was blue-yellow, questions were answered, where are you from, where are you from, you are beautiful, you are wonderful, it will be simple people from portugal, french, austrians, they are simply amazed by us, it is true, by our armed forces, by our state, it is one component that simple people from we, but also the governments of those countries, understand the danger of that monster, in particular, our neighbors, in particular, the baltic states and poland, today you know, i will tell you frankly that we had historical moments different from the poles, there is no doubt that

remained in history and historians will talk about it, but what the poles did was an unprecedented step , ordinary poles. i'm not talking about the state anymore. and the fact that they are preparing for the russian offensive, and they are definitely preparing, and the fact that today or yesterday they announced that russia there announced to putin about mobilization, so they also began to prepare very seriously and the latest news where the territorial defense of poland is now very began to closely cooperate with our ukrainian territorial defense - this is a big step forward and the fact that the poles, the polish government, polish politicians do not depend on which camp they belong to, today they dream about the fact that ukraine-lithuania, the baltic states , that we will create in the future some kind of joint military and not only the military economic union, they look, they remember those

words of their leader pilsudski, respectively, and our politicians used to talk about it from sea to sea baltic sea the black sea is very powerful this a very big, huge effort will be a huge shelter and today it is all being done, i would only like that from our side, of course, i am not saying that they are not working, they are working in that direction, there is a war, there are many other problems, this is also understandable, but that it was a little increased, that work on our part on the other hand, the work on uniting our forces with our neighbors has increased, and then we really won't worry about whether there will be a million or 2 million will be mobilized, not on the number, dear friends, but it will depend on how many weapons we will be given in the united states, england and the west. if you have high-tech weapons, the army we have now is enough for us, so we can increase it in the same way, but not from the number, we see

that they came in huge numbers, that monster came to our territory and that already under 60 thousand we went home in other packages, it's not a matter of how many will be mobilized in them and they are mobilizing them, but to clothe and arm, and to feed, it's not that simple, what they announced about a million army, well, a 5 million army, we must be ready for a million army and they are not before that we are ready today what we didn't say we are ready today yes we are worried about nuclear yes we are definitely worried because we are worried about our families our families from our children but as they said there now a journalist what a military journalist who absolutely much more for sure does he know? well, what do i mean in particular about the military? we need to be ready. we need to prepare and not relax very often. we now see that in ukraine, let's say, especially in the western territories in the center, people have already relaxed, as if

we don't have a war, there is a war, the war continues and we have to be ready for everything. i'm not saying that we don't have to continue to live there, do business, of course , work, scientists have to work and everyone else , but we have to remember that the war is going on and we can really have it at any moment to fly to lviv and any other part of ukraine. so we need to be ready, there is no need to be afraid, we have already won for our grandchildren, for our children, the victory of ukraine is already here, we are a nation, we are a state that is recognized by the whole world, even our opponents admit that we are and that we are very strong, as the ukrainians fight today, so our armed forces fight, well, believe me now, the whole world is wondering, and i tell you the truth , when i sometimes have to meet with diplomats or even with the military, because at a certain time i took care of our well, you know, i 'll tell you, they simply

treat our soldiers with such respect. you can imagine our soldiers there. they went to learn tactics, let's say nato tactics, and they learn from our soldiers. how to fight realistically in life and this is also true and we should also be proud of it and what happened yesterday, well, it really is bravo bravo i will not say now who has come true more and who has less but as mr. mykhailo said, i support the leadership of the state they took bravo for what they did. it doesn't matter who participated or whether there were many interviewees. there were many interlocutors in the whole matter, but what they did yesterday is a victory, a great victory. let's listen to what he said. i understand denys monastyrskyi, who revealed the secret. freed strawberries at the briefing which is just now going on then ladies about one word m the guys have already met this more of them with their relatives and some of them are in chernihiv in the hospital

in fact all of them need medical rehabilitation and medical treatment absolutely all of them need mental and psychological rehabilitation and the president of ukraine gave such an order to ensure this rehabilitation , the work is going on now, the best specialists will be involved in this work, actually nine border guards to the corresponding hospital for border guards, the police also involved well, the guys of the armed forces of ukraine are currently in medical facilities in chernihiv oblast, now they will move to kyiv, and they have already been able to see part of their family in kyiv, they will see the rest of them. well, the most important thing for us is , of course, to ensure their full recovery as of now, because as i already said colleagues really we wouldn't like now so many guys told uh actually each of them shared their impressions they were really uh well quite

sharp about uh what they experienced first they will talk to them with definitely investigators uh ukrainians who will record these crimes that were committed there. and i think that at the same time, the ukrainian public will definitely be able to hear it from them personally. thank you. we have 7 minutes left. it is important to note that this did not get on the air, but kyrylo budanov, the head of the guru , before that how did monastyrskyi tell where our defenders are? unfortunately, kirill would have also given complicated information about the fact that almost, i am not quoting for sure right now, or all or almost all of those released from captivity were subjected to torture . that is why rehabilitation is needed. we need these interrogations, there are medical examinations, and there you have the floor. well, we are discussing yesterday's events. yesterday, we came to lviv from all parts of ukraine

. mayors of the community came from kharkiv oblast , mykolaiv oblast, sumy oblast, zhytomyr, that is, in principle, the second front, the entire second front, which has been standing since february 24 together with the armed forces of ukraine today and yesterday and today were in lviv and when they told yesterday about the announced mobilization by putin , well, the first thing i have is the first thing - this is a warning. what is it? what should i eat it with ? to give credit to the mayors who did not discuss this issue for a very long time, because in fact once he announced the mobilization, it means he admitted that we are winning in our counteroffensive, once he announced it means he admitted that this is not a special operation, it means he admits that we are stronger, again, his statement yesterday will allow us to continue and to remind our

international partners that you can't relax and you can't get tired because he's looking for some new adventures which, again, should only help ukraine, that's why the statement about mobilization well, i say in the second front to the mayors er, of absolutely all territories of ukraine. well, you know , it passed, but yesterday they discussed among themselves all day and evening who and how at what stage they are defending, how are they defending themselves, how are they helping the armed forces, how important is today for all of us the victory, the complete liberation of the entire territory, that was last night in fact, the news about that, well, i listened to my mother today, too, my mother, first, when i read thank god yes thank god that these people of ours were released, heroes, second opinion, the rest so you can change the rest, because in fact

no one believed that this was possible alone. personally , i didn't even miss it, i watched how the theater in mariupol was being renovated, i thought with horror, but well, those were their first statements when they said what they wanted to do in mariupol, and i also had an e- it was terrible there. i was afraid to see what was happening there every time because i was afraid of their statements and threats. that is why it is really a sincere joy for the people, the desire for all the rest of the people to be released as soon as possible. i slightly disagree with the professionals here because it is difficult for others this gives hope, another reason is that until yesterday it seemed impossible at all, but now we understand what is possible and what is very important. it seems to me that this is something that was not said on the air today, but what i was thinking about, you know the thoughts, they come at once one by one by one are coming and this is a personal personal personal opinion is that finally our country i am talking

about states now i don't want to talk power not power our state our country protects our people and now we can say not only that our armed forces are the same as in israel but we now we speak ukraine now it's like israel - it's a class. well, it seems cool to me, although it happens because of the war, unfortunately , because of the but but the foreigners are the same, yes. and here we protect our people at what cost, how did the government find these ways to get our people out of the accounts of that horror, this the government had a task, they fulfilled it and they will have and will now i already understand we believe that it is possible to do this with other people with other heroes they will also be taken away and this is a huge hope for all relatives and for us and you but today again i still return to the forum of local self-government, who was still in lviv today, the first day, the first day, the second day, the first

panel, we start with the fact that the representative of the president's office talks about the release of our people, this is the most important thing, although we have gathered here to talk about how to strengthen the internal front, how to do it in order to the armed forces to help people to help and develop ukraine from within but the first and main topic is the liberation of people, so it seems to me that thanking god is a huge positive step for us from all sides once again, let all those people who participated in the liberation of our heroes , azov citizens, non-azov citizens, foreigners, absolutely everyone freed - this is a huge, huge step in favor of ukraine, for the benefit of each of us, and for the benefit of the world and democrats, and again, all our international partners will help us with even greater understanding even after this step, and the third topic that was picked up on here was a nuclear strike. it is

scary for everyone, it is normal, but what is more dangerous now than that, they said that it should be remembered here all the knowledge you know. as far as i understand, and when it comes to a nuclear strike, ukraine is the same in terms of the security of cities and places. like all the rest of the countries of the world, or am i wrong, and that's all the statements from russia about such possibilities. they are again helping ukraine to fight because they are reminding the whole world that we need to win as soon as possible and end these conversations on this topic because when ukraine wins, the issue is removed, only this today protects the whole world, so the more they tell there, the more they will help us rather ukraine will win and once again thank god that this is happening and many thanks to the armed forces

of ukraine, we are adding to our conversation pavel klimkin, minister of foreign affairs of ukraine in the 14th and 19th years, co-founder of the center for national stability and development, mr. pavla, before we give you the floor i i would like a quote from erdoğan, because many people note that the mediation of turkey has become quite key in the possibility of this exchange, but president erdoğan talks about another important aspect, let's quote it. so what did verdoğan say the exchange of prisoners between russia and ukraine achieved through the mediation of turkey is an important step on the way to ending the war, the turkish leader also added that the anchor continues to make efforts to achieve peace between moscow and kiev, and finally from turkey this week, turkish changes, including such interesting rather informational messages , which appeared to me after putin

announced the mobilization, but the turkish media reported in particular this week that peace is possible soon and that putin wants the hostilities to end and then they added that all the annexed lands should be returned to ukraine, so it's gossip, well, i made such a broad introduction, but i made the question narrower. what do you think is the role of turkey in this exchange of prisoners, if in your opinion it is significant? with arguments, erdogan appealed to putin that he released, including, the commanders of such a hated in the russian media, congratulations , friends, congratulations, great lviv, in football terminology, evdan received another pass in order to become, when necessary, mediators between by the west and russia, he actually already

has such mediators, but he definitely has a chance for even a bigger role after the exchange, this is not only a political story, it is also an emotional one. if you want a moral story, and immediately personally, he really needs this mediation. he has elections next year, very difficult elections there now everything is falling apart. i emphasize now because it is changing quickly somewhere 50/50, the economy is not very simple, and therefore this is a story that is personally important for him and for turkey, and i repeat that it concerns the forecast for the future, of course the position of turkey, which is very clear, the return of all occupied territories is very important for us, but turkey wants to start talking, and starting to talk

means at some point either freezing the situation or agreeing that the negotiations are taking place according to the dynamics on the fronts, which will be to develop further. and i think that in reality the second option is not yet possible for turkey to push around. but again, i repeat that today, iran has shown itself to be the only theoretically possible and sad mediator in the near future, and it will be to play a role and maybe if the conditions for the negotiations are met, and so far none of us see them because putin, as you can see, is raising the stakes , maybe these negotiations will take place through the mediation of the ocean and on the territory of turkey,

if we analyze yesterday, then well, without a relative yes , it is possible for ukraine. yes, speaking globally. it seems to me that it is no coincidence that putin chose the date of his address yesterday and why was it postponed. they spoke to the whole world in one day. putin in the morning joe biden he answered at the general assembly already in the evening and he answered, well, on the one hand, experts say that it is quite harsh, well, he emphasized that nuclear blackmail will not pass, but on the other hand, some of the experts i had the chance to read said that, well, that was not the accented answer to putin, because in his speech, biden i also mentioned other conflicts, other problematic states, in general, all of them are essentially problematic states that are on our globe .

about mobi, this one about the possibility of using nuclear weapons for the illusory defense of his lands, he is in the form of putin and i want to negotiate, uh, it’s normal , he wants to negotiate with the west, uh, he wants negotiations with us, he understands that this is one story , he perfectly understands that the situation on on the fronts does not allow him, uh, not to insist on capitulation anymore, and to dictate conditions in such conditions. putin, as a person from the special services, a person who sees the world as a sequence of special operations , does not want to negotiate. and he realized that he it is necessary to raise the stakes, and this pursues two goals, i am simplifying a bit. but nevertheless, two goals, one internal, because after the defeat in the

khaikiv region, a mad wave of kyiv was coming at him. such inside from the fascists and nationalists, and he needed to do at least something and further raise the stakes, what exactly he did the second thing, he perfectly understands that he is beginning to be despised not only in the west, but also in the east, and the uzbekistan summit of the shanghai cooperation organization demonstrated this very well both on the part of the chinese and on the part of the indians i don't know about others. but nevertheless , he needs to do something from the side of the great powers. what he thinks is worth his internal and external. he really hopes that his latest steps will give him the opportunity to start negotiations again from his position. he is fatally

mistaken here as before, he was already capable of everything in this. fatalna miscalculated and the west understands very well that to let putin go forward now means the defeat of the common ukraine and the west, and the west will not simply never agree to such a thing, he cannot do it allow because otherwise it will not mean anything more in the 21st century and the history of this century will go in a completely different way and then now it will talk about referendums . and for example, for his anniversary and birthday next month and there are many other conspiratorial ones
