by the countries that receive their population, hmm, well, germany has practically opened its borders. that's what the ruling party says . no one has any complaints. and for some reason, little georgia has problems and complaints. moskalenko is talking about oatmeal on the air from ukraine live and from london, and for 30 minutes we are talking about the main events of this day, the 218th day of the war in russia against ukraine, russia is preparing to annex the captured territory after pseudo-referendums zelensky urgently convenes the nsdc, the event is preparing

sanctions, the fourth breakthrough on the northern stream, what is happening with russian gas pipelines and students at the border, and why men are not being released from ukraine to study in foreign universities , russia a day before the annexation of captured ukrainian territories on september 30, as early as tomorrow, they are planning to hold a ceremony separately, as the spokesman for the russian president said, quoting the ceremony of signing treaties on the inclusion of new territories into russia under in the words of piskov, putin will deliver a voluminous speech. and on the square, a planned rally and concert are already being staged there with the slogans donetsk

, luhansk-zaporizhia, kherson, russia or another version of these cities and together forever. before that, russia held so-called referendums in the occupied territories on joining the in donbas, kherson oblast and in the occupied areas of zaporizhzhia oblast, pseudo-referendums are not recognized by ukraine or the international community. president zelensky called the referendums these so-called allied countries and the un say russia's successfully organized attempt to provide some justification for the resolution of the war and the capture of the territories cannot be considered referendums to remove the legal consequences in the eyes of the world community. and for tomorrow, when russia plans to annex the capture of ukrainian territories and president zelensky calls an urgent meeting of the national security and defense council and we talk more about this with my colleague victoria zhugan on a direct link from kyiv, our own video, let's start with what is the mechanism of annexation, that is, how russia plans to do it

let's analyze in detail good evening from what is known in principle in general terms we can talk about an attempt to repeat the crimean scenario of 2014 why because first russia occupies the territory of ukraine, then stages a so-called referendum there under machine guns and then putin speaks in front of both parliaments i apologize to both chambers of his parliament issues a decree on the recognition of this territory as an independent state, after which he signs an agreement with the occupation leaders of these territories appointed by him, and finally the parliament ratifies the agreement on the accession of these territories to russia, and from what she has already announced, we understand that tomorrow may happen, and according to the information that is already available, we understand that tomorrow putin may make an address and also that these agreements may be signed, but it is worth

noting that between 2014 and 2020 there is a difference, there are nuances , and not just one, but actually what are the differences between the fact that it can happen tomorrow and the annexation of crimea, which was in the 14th year, if you compare 2022 with 2014, then against this background, the annexation of crimea looked just lightning fast, on the other hand, in 2022- he is the kremlin has already postponed its so-called referendums many times since the very spring. there have already been many announcements that they will later cancel and postpone them. this is the first key difference. the russians said that they could not ensure the safety of their referendums, while the ukrainian side basically confirmed that the armed forces were working. and also that there is no support for russia in these territories. the second key difference is

that, unlike crimea in 2014, russia does not currently control the borders of the territory that it wants to annex. active hostilities are underway in ukraine and the armed forces of ukraine are recapturing territories occupied by russia, this is also a key difference from 2014, because now if russia calls these territories its own, it will call itself a country that does not control its own borders . which ukrainian territories does russia plan to annex where pseudo-referendums were held or the territory within the oblasts of none of the four oblasts, none of which the russians fully control, we do not know what will be in the text of volodymyr's speech tomorrow putin, and we also do not know what will be in the text of these

treaties, but the armed forces of ukraine warn that now russia may have ambitions for the administrative borders of these four regions , which means that russia may escalate, well , at the front in order to control most of donetsk luhansk well even more eh from donetsk luhansk zaporizhzhia and kherson oblasts. after all , in order to try to annex russia, it is necessary to at least control this territory and it is important to talk about what the expectations of the ukrainian authorities from what kind of reaction does kyiv expect from the west? today, volodymyr zelenskyi's statement to france with a request to recognize russia as a terrorist state in connection with these self-proclaimed self-organized so-called

referendums. and of course in connection with the latest events, it is in principle reasonable to expect that ukraine will continue to appeal to countries from its support group to strengthen the continuation of sanctions against russia, and perhaps ukraine itself will introduce certain sanctions against russia in the near future, and tomorrow is the meeting of the national security and defense council. do you know what to expect from this meeting? if you can be brief, in fact, you can be brief because so far we have not learned in detail what will be on the agenda and what issues will be taken there and what will change in the president's office, they promised to announce the answers to these questions, which are now of interest to many ukrainians, soon thank you victoria zugan bbc correspondent from kyiv if

russia will implement its plans, it will partially annex four ukrainian regions by force, just as it annexed crimea, what should the world community do besides not recognizing the illegal annexation, sanctions, more weapons for ukraine, and also what are putin's next steps, why is he in such a hurry to annex the occupied ukrainian territories, a viewer from brussels analyzes amanda paul with me in my opinion, what we are seeing is a blatant land grab. the victory of the fake referendums should show that the kremlin has succeeded in protecting the russian minorities in these regions, which are occupied ukrainian land, and show what sich will give to the efforts of ukraine and the west in their attempts to discredit russia or attack it, it is not surprising that putin is going this way

, he is in a hopeless situation now it is important that russia does not succeed in intimidating the west, we have heard putin talk about the nuclear threat, because probably as soon as the kremlin officially annexes the occupied territories, he will insist that these are russian lands, any attempts ukraine to free them will be exposed to a response with the use of force, but the west should not be intimidated. it is clear how support for ukraine is growing, this means providing more military equipment, especially heavy weapons, in order to repel the russians. there is no doubt that the annexation and occupation of russia from these territories can be somehow accepted. this a huge violation of international law putin basically wants the west to recognize that ukraine is russia's sphere of influence or that ukraine as a state does not exist at all, he said many times that ukraine does not exist

he wants to wipe ukraine off the face of the earth, this goal has not changed, therefore it is important that the eu and britain oppose this as strongly as possible, there can be no concessions, there is no time to think about what putin can do next we must be proactive , react to this without delay the united states , the european union are preparing new sanctions against russia in response to the pseudo-referendum, the statement of the white house sanctions will have serious economic consequences for russia is preparing the eighth package of sanctions, in particular, those involved in the organization will be blacklisted of the pseudo-referendums, high -ranking representatives said that this is borel, but there is another issue that worries the european union regarding russians fleeing from the mobilization to accept or not to accept against the background of the fact that thousands of people are leaving russia and after the partial mobilization announced there in finland, the last of the countries there are that russia's neighbors

close entry for russian tourists but leave entry open for russians who want to visit their families, work or study earlier, the border for russians with tourist visas was closed poland lithuania latvia, estonia and the eu decided to complicate and make it more expensive for russians to obtain visas in warsaw within the osce are discussing how to stop russia's war against ukraine and overcome the humanitarian crisis that was its consequence russia's armed aggression caused the biggest humanitarian crisis in europe since the end of world war ii yes stated the polish minister of foreign affairs of the concurring raou. he also emphasized that russia violates international humanitarian law. respect for human rights, what tools are there in the osce as an organization to influence russia, we analyze how a

colleague of nataliya shumakov has gathered in warsaw, diplomats and public activists have gathered here, the osce conference is taking place and the main issue is the war in ukraine and human rights violations on the agenda. i want to say that ukrainians are quite are skeptical of the osce and other international organizations, as you yourself have seen the activity of such institutions during the war - this is a very weak defense, i would say there are several points that are worth to pay attention, first of all, the conference is held in warsaw, and this year it is poland that chairs the osce, the head of the polish foreign ministry, bigny grau, emphasized that the brutal and unprovoked aggression of russia against ukraine undermined the concept of peaceful coexistence of states in the european region, and totalitarian ideology is what pay attention , when we talk about the russian world, the followers of the russian world, i want to tell you that your world is inhuman and cruel, no political action will lead

to agreeing with these approaches. we do not want this measure won ukraine does not want it either for the crimes you have committed you will be responsible here it must be explained that for the last 8 years russia has been trying in every possible way to interfere with the normal work of the organization if there are no representatives from russia at the conference or at the meeting they vote against unity accordingly and there is no solution will not be adopted, but at this conference, thanks to the active position of poland and other countries, it was possible to adopt several very important decisions for ukraine, for example, the osce plans to send a field mission to ukraine without the participation of russia and without the right to impose a veto, in addition, diplomacy condemned the holding of pseudo-referendums in the occupied territories, the questions that have been raised recently, they are all relevant, but against the background of the latest russian

efforts to hold referendums, the so-called referendums are illegal, you know they are even called no that fake referendums, we now call them a farce on a fake referendum. that is, no one takes them seriously. but at the same time, there must be a serious and very strong powerful reaction to these intentions from the two russian federations in order to make it impossible for some kind of legitimization of these things, if russia blocks the decisions and work of the to organization , is it possible to exclude it altogether? the conference is rather a platform for discourses, so quick decisions should not be expected nataliya shumakov about the osce and another breach in sweden's second northern stream sweden

has already detected the fourth leak from both detachments the eu considers the causes of the leaks to be sabotage of the door russia rejects the assumption that it itself damaged its own pipelines, the american mission does not report it, representatives of western intelligence claim that last week in the area where the leaks occurred, russian warships and submarines were spotted, which does not reveal sabotage, but raises suspicions here's how notes the development of what is known about the damage to russian lawns , the bbc correspondent in berlin, damian mcguinness, will tell four leaks, which in fact are four large holes in the pipeline, may turn out to be unfit for repair, at least that's what some analysts think until specialists can at least assess the extent of the damage before starting their elimination, weeks may pass and during this time, as many experts claim, the pipes may rust

from the inside, that is, they cannot be repaired, some of these damages look quite serious and recently they discovered and the fourth gas leak and this is not necessarily a new damage, it seems that all four were created on purpose, this is indicated by the nature of the destruction, because they all appeared at the same time before this version this is where most analysts lean. there are four big holes in the infrastructure that was planned for decades and built for years and that cost billions of dollars. all this indicates how serious the damage was caused and many believe that this can put an end to the entire project. another question arises. why are those who point to russia believe that this is her movement, taking into account that the pipeline was partly financed by russia and this meant losses for the russians themselves, those who place responsibility on the kremlin assume that russia is seeking even more to destabilize european energy security and both northern streams were filled with gas although they

did not work, the first one was under repair, the second one was never launched due to the russian invasion of ukraine, but the gas was there, too, at the place of the breakthrough, well, in the baltic sea, a 700 m diameter boiling water geyser was formed yes about this is reported by bloomberg, according to estimates in germany , about 300,000 tons of methane were released into the atmosphere due to leaks - this is one of the most powerful greenhouse gases, so what consequences will this have for the environment as well an important question is that the eu is currently trying to find the causes of the leaks, is it possible to establish them ? expert aura is analyzing it. this is baidus from an analytical company in the field of energy. the investigation is currently underway. it is very difficult to point the finger at the one who is involved in the damage. but there is one issue that i want to draw attention to. the pipes were under careful monitoring, in fact, one of the gas companies that manages this gas pipeline

states on its website that safety is at the heart of its work and that the pipes are carefully monitored until now. europe mainly focused on i would say cyberattacks that caused concern and we have seen several cases. last year when there were reports that russia may have carried out several cyberattacks on oil installations in germany and the netherlands, now this is a new twist in the whole story and of course it is incredibly worrying. should be a priority and improved on floating regasification terminals, i.e. liquefied natural gas terminals, as well as on pipelines, so as i said before, first we need to see the results of the investigation, but there are a number of claims that some importing companies that did not receive gas due to the fact that russia reduced or completely stopped the supply of gas in the previous months can sue gazprom, then in this situation you can imagine gazprom can announce force majeure in the case of force majeure circumstances will almost exempt them from paying any money in case of arbitration what is this and now

about military aid to ukraine the united states announced a new package of military aid the day before aid for more than a billion dollars, however, this is investments with this money will not purchase ready-made weapons, but will order them. the pentagon plans to order 18 more jet systems for the heimers hall of fire. so far, the united states has transferred to ukraine 16 heimers , ammunition for them, 150 units of armored vehicles, 150 tactical tractors, such were mentioned in the communication in connection with the supply of m-77 howitzers and heavy trucks and trailers, as well as systems to combat iranian combat drones, which russia began to use in the last few weeks the execution of these orders can take from several months to several years, and putin threatened with nuclear weapons, while last week he announced partial mobilization, promised to recognize pseudo-referendums

again, suppressed it, it is not the first time since the beginning of the war that he mentions nuclear weapons, but now if russia annexes the capture of ukrainian territory, will we not glass one step closer to do this, they say , to protect what the kremlin will consider part of russia to launch a nuclear strike with the usa, they warn moscow not to do this, because it will be catastrophic consequences of the possibility of a nuclear attack by russia and we are talking with my colleague oleg chernysh , he understood the topic, he is the author of the article on our website vs.ua, the mechanics of the attack, how russia can use nuclear weapons, how ukraine can counter it, oleg welcomes you, let's start with the simple, tactically, nuclear weapons can be used shoot from anything, for example, from a howitzer, uh, so absolutely freely, this weapon is, unlike large intercontinental ballistic missiles, much smaller in power, smaller in

size, and it is actually in the form of, for example mines for a mortar or for a projectile for a howitzer or an artillery installation, about 50 years ago, the soviet union went on the path of developing tactical e-e nuclear charges and really created a whole line of e-e artillery installations that can shoot e-e nuclear charges, there were certain tests as we understand in practice, it has not been used in combat conflicts, but it exists, at least there is such information and it is reliable , that is exactly the video that we are taking, which can be used with tactical nuclear munitions what kind of destruction can be caused by tactical nuclear weapons , and what scale is the damage relatively insignificant , although again this is quite a conditional

comparison, tactical one shot down by me, two charges, a tactical address of the weapon can be from half a kiloton to a few kilotons for understanding, if such a charge hits a five- story building, it can destroy it down to the basement, it looks like a significant destruction, but we understand that for us, i am a weapon with a capacity of tens of thousands of kilotons can destroy entire cities because of that tactical ordinary weapons can be used, god forbid, of course, on the battlefield in order to, for example, hit an enemy stronghold located five or 10 km away, that is, some object that stands alone and can destroy with one powerful blow the main thing itself the purpose of this e-weapon, it will not destroy cities, but it can destroy separately a separate object that e-e is intended to destroy, can western intelligence track the moment of preparation for the launch of a

tactical nuclear weapon or the moment of derivative intelligence they can already see the nuclear mushroom and report that there has been a strike of tactical nuclear weapons, well, in fact, all hopes that the american intelligence because the intelligence of other countries will monitor the moment when these nuclear war stocks will be lifted from special arsenals where they are stored for a long time conditions, they will then be loaded into special wagons or trucks and these horses will be delivered to the front line. that is, it is such a long process that can theoretically be monitored either from a satellite or other means of intelligence. options that the tactical use of this weapon will be visible only when there is an explosion eh, well, there is a moment like that. i know that there are special eh suits for the military eh, which must not be

infected with radiation, that is, this moment can be monitored, although again on this has never happened in practice and no one knows how it will happen or whether the russians have fixed this process of raising these combat charges and their loading and delivery to the front line. there are a lot of questions in this process, but theoretically, again i repeat, this process is quite long and it is possible to track it, and the key thing is that you just wrote about how ukraine can counter such a possible nuclear attack. the collapse of all systems of agreements in the world, but if god forbid such a situation will happen again, there are certain situations. and when ukraine , for example, can shoot down a launched missile on its territory or on the territory of russia, such a situation

it is theoretically possible, since it will have a charge, it can be placed on a kha-101 missile, which has already been shot down by the ukrainian armed forces, so theoretically, this possibility exists. a bbc interviewer and his article on our website strike mechanic how russia can use nuclear weapons and how ukraine can counter on the website bbc news ukraine i highly recommend reading a very interesting article and finally about the restrictions on leaving ukraine during martial law under such restrictions male students were caught, they have not been able to go abroad for more than a month and are protesting. the authorities explain the ban by the fact that many want to leave with fake study documents. what is happening at the border with the persons is a colleague, roman lebed sheghini. lviv region, the border with poland.

every day, a group of young men gathers here. but they are not allowed to cross the border. these are ukrainian students of foreign universities, they collect their documents and go to the checkpoint, but for several weeks the result is the same, the border guards turn their class around and postponement and permission to leave, but it’s still not enough for me this is my seventh time and i tried until september 14, there are people here who are record holders who tried to cross the border 15 16 times 10 times after the 14th, they don’t look at the documents at all and before that, it was very, very hard to clean up the state border service explained that they stopped letting students through because they had recorded many forged documents in recent months, they say. in july-august alone, they discovered 600 fake students, but the people who gathered at the customs insist that they all have confirmation of studies and this can be verified . vladyslav now lives in a hotel in a hotel and

comes to the border every day hoping to cross it. he says that the specialty he enrolled in is not taught in ukraine. i received an invitation from my university. confirmation that i was enrolled there. confirmation of payment. i had everything translated by a notary, so it took time to get the ukrainian documents apostilled so that they could receive them so that they could see that i am really a student. there are documents for crossing the border. students say that they are refused without a stamp. therefore, they cannot even be challenged in court due to constant disputes at the border, the situation escalates, and you definitely take off the boat, who is also trying to get to study in poland. he recalls an unpleasant situation that happened to him on the train to przemyśl . dragged across

the platform face-to-face, and all these bodily injuries are recorded, the case is under consideration at the dbr, although the border guards insist that they have all the legal reasons not to release the students according to the law indeed, students are not subject to mobilization, but uh, there is legislation that regulates border crossing and students do not have the right to cross the border literally a few hundred meters from here, behind the barrier, such a desirable and currently unavailable for young ukrainian men western education, the border guards explain that they are simply carrying out the according to the lawyers, the decision that they have when it is about a possible violation of the constitutional right, the highest law in ukraine is the constitution of ukraine and the article in the law is the right to education and if in some way the state needs to limit this right, then it needs to accept this limitation at the level of law. therefore , in the opinion of the lawyer,

the verkhovna rada should have officially brought clarity to the situation. moreover, unofficially, the government has already expressed its position. if a million is mobilized in russia, then about what kind do you say we may need all of you in general for ukraine to survive or do you want to solve your personal problem of studying at the sorbonne or oxford and more on thursday , president zelenskyi also emphasized by answering to a question during a video conference in zurich that the law on martial law prohibits men from 18 to 60 years of age from leaving we all be friend over nation , young people say that they will not organize protests, realizing that it is inappropriate in the conditions of war, but they add that they will defend their rights by legal methods in particular, the petition on this matter on the president's website has almost gained the necessary 25,000 votes, all the guys are very positive and ready to go to the end, there are a lot of motivated people

who want to do something, want to bring some they want to learn, but unfortunately they find themselves in such a difficult situation roman lebed bbc new from ukraine sheghini and that's all for today more news on our website bbc.ua i'll say goodbye to you until tomorrow see you in the evening let's celebrate a cold is already celebrating familiar symptoms try flukold-4 components
