they gave a pyramid of these watermelons as a gift. well, it seems like they are hinting at the pyramid. we hope that this hint will be understood by putin, but this is a person who does not deserve life, the one who threatens the life of the whole world and security and kills people, children, and life is not worthy, so you wish something like this to vladimir putin. let russia will be without him and the whole world without him and then everyone will definitely be easier we can build a new reality and a new future and a new reality well 21:30 don't miss the tailor september analyst emotions and mind and charisma veteri from our esteemed colleagues and presenters well, just now we bring to your attention a news release from my colleagues from the ukrainian editorial office of bbc news, let's watch it together good evening we from ukraine on bbc news will call hryhoriy shagalov ukrainians today in the program we will talk about this the president of ukraine

called on the world to take decisive action against russia, stating that the russian authorities have begun to prepare their society for the possible use of nuclear weapons in war. zelenskyi gave a long interview to the bbc. the nobel peace prize was awarded to ukrainian , russian, and belarusian human rights defenders. why in many people were indignant in kyiv and what do the gates themselves think about this? russia launched a new missile attack on zaporizhzhia against air defense was able to repulse the attack. the city was also subjected to

devastating shelling on the eve of october 6, a total of 12 civilians were killed and the same number of victims were hospitalized. yesterday's destructive attacks on zaporizhzhia, on the eve of the attacks, two residential buildings were hit here, according to official data, 12 people died as a result of the shelling, many went missing, some are still under the rubble, under a huge pile of debris. worried because until now everyone believed that drones are used in other regions of ukraine and they have devastating consequences, that's why people are alarmed, the city is located not so far from of the territory occupied by russia, they know that the line

of fire is very close to this city, which is already used to being in such a state, and even in spite of this, people were shocked yesterday, because they were attacked in their own homes, and from one blow, the victims are more than anyone could have expected e- from the first day of the war, on february 24, vladimir putin spoke about the threat of a nuclear attack, and considering his most recent statements, this issue seems to have receded into the background, but it is still relevant in people's minds. i don't think that people here are overly worried. they know that it is possible, however. they hope that this will come to pass. and of course we heard the statements of american politicians even before yesterday's statement of president biden, warning that the use of nuclear weapons by the russians

would lead to catastrophic consequences. thus , the americans want the russians to know and believe that they were afraid that something would happen in the case of the use of nuclear weapons catastrophic reasons, they do not indicate exactly what it will be yesterday, president zelensky suggested that the americans should demonstrate opposition now and wait to see what will happen then i believe that most people think that this is only a theoretical view and things will not get worse, and while the russian president annexes large territories of ukraine, the situation on the ground actually looks completely different, even after the president of russia signed the permanently legal treaties on the annexation of ukrainian lands, the army of ukraine continues to retake there are captured territories in russia and other problems, how putin announced a partial mobilization abroad, many more russian citizens fled than

entered military service, hundreds of thousands are fleeing from russia without waiting for a draft and on the battlefield things are so bad that russian leaders and their supporters have now reformatted what they once called the denazification of ukraine and the protection of russian speakers into an existential struggle against the entire collective event deputy director of the eurasian center of the atlantic council this is an american think tank melida haring shares it is still too early to call the victory parade of ukraine with your view of the situation, but ukraine is winning and full stop ukraine is advancing in the north , it is advancing in the east and in the south, ukrainians too they report that they have returned dozens of settlements in the kherson region under their control, this is one of the regions that putin tried to annex and ukraine began the deoccupation of luhansk region. that is, this is serious

progress, but i want to say that now there is a window that needs to be used, it is two or three weeks until the moment when suddenly winter will begin and it will be very difficult to track the movement of the enemy, so in a few weeks the advance on the front line will slow down a little, in the near future all attention will be focused on kherson, earlier we assumed that the counteroffensive on this city is unlikely, but the ukrainians are actually very cunning and smart, they have done such a big thing that everyone from the president to the defense minister is talking about, russia is moving south. meanwhile, the northern flank is being exposed, so the ukrainians are succeeding there and are already advancing in the east, as we just said, but now we also see kherson. and where the occupation of kherson is the key to the return of crimea, we know that this is where the ukrainians ultimately want to get to, the return of kherson will not be easy

, it will be very, very difficult to take crimea, because we will have to to fight with the russian naval forces, i in no way claim that this will happen in the next few days, but we know that in kherson there are terrible logistics, this is a city in which there are bridges and the ukrainians blow them up, the russians try to replace them with pontoons, but the ukrainians also attack them, besides, everyone they know that russian soldiers have extremely low motivation, so most analysts assume that the russians will not be able to hold kherson for a long time. i do not know how quickly it will fall, but in expert circles, everyone expects that the russians will not be able to hold it for a long time, we need remember that the russian army is not that powerful, and the ukrainian army is not that weak, it is the opposite of the russian army, many progressive reforms were planned, but in reality they were not implemented due to total corruption, so there were no changes and we see it on the battlefield, but with on the ukrainian side, the

reforms were real since 2014, the ukrainian army switched to nato standards, received a new generation of commanders, they created many different relevant structures, so they are able to make decisions much faster than the russians for for every simple decision on the spot, you need to wait for permission from above, the ukrainians are much more efficient in this matter, besides, they have better eyes because the west, the british and america share their intelligence data with them, and this helps a lot volodymyr zelenskyi, who calls on the russians to oppose the war and repeats the warning president biden, who said that any use of nuclear weapons will lead to armageddon , the president of ukraine gave a large interview to the bbc, which is being broadcast to a global audience this evening interest in the ukrainian leader is at its peak again, while ukrainian troops have surprised the world by continuing to retake the land occupied by

russian troops in the east and south of the country, and volodymyr zelenskyi spoke with volodymyr zelenskyi in kyiv , the bbc's international affairs editor john simpson , mr. zelenskyi stumbled the day before, which is not typical for him as it was reported that he allegedly called on nato to launch a pre-emptive strike on russia so that the russians would not use tactical nuclear weapons, but he says he did not talk about pre-emptive nuclear strike a about preventive sanctions and he explained it in english so that people understand the essence of russian threats, they are starting to prepare their society that it is very dangerous, they are not ready to use these weapons, but they are starting to talk about preparing society for the use of nuclear weapons, they do not know whether they will use them or not i think it's dangerous to even talk about it, that's why i

said you should make preventive strikes, not attacks , we're not terrorists, we're not fighting on someone else's territory , even the attitude of our society towards the russians after this blink of an eye after eight years of war is war 8 years of bloody tragedy even after this our attitude towards them i am ready to kill people as the russians do dovit after that he switched to the ukrainian language we need to act now we don't need to think about the risks that will come later i agree what is armageddon? it is a risk for the whole planet. but nevertheless, why do we? we need to think whether it will happen or whether it will not happen. if russia has already taken a step, it has seized our nuclear plant, the world can stop and stop actions urgently.

of russian occupations, the world can apply to introduce a sanctions package in such cases and do everything to get them out of this atom. do you think that president putin is capable of using nuclear weapons? if i say, for example, that they are not capable of using nuclear weapons, then it is an inadequate person who has such in his hands the authorities can, on the contrary, show everyone ah, i can't. look how i can apply it. if i say that he can apply it, it can also cause panic consequences in many countries, including ukraine. everything putin is afraid of, not even a nuclear attack, but he is afraid of his community, he is afraid of his people, because today only this people is capable of replacing him, taking away his power, giving it to another

person, etc. do you think they should oppose him, they should, the people should first fight for themselves and therefore, express an opinion, go out, speak, do not be afraid to fight for yourself, and he had a message for the russian military, who are being sent here, they are coming without now, they are mobilized children, these are without anything, without a machine gun, without armor they are thrown like meat, they are meat, they are not people, if they want to be kebabs, then fine, let them come. and if they are still people and think that this is their life, their personality, then they should fight, no, we don't have to fight for ukraine, we ourselves fight for yourself fight for your body fight for your freedom for your rights and for your soul if you doing if you win are you alive vladimir putin i don't care anyway read zelensky's interview

very soon on the website bbc.ua you will also be able to find him on our social media pages networks in our youtube channel to the word if you are watching us right now on youtube, don't forget to like and don't forget to subscribe so that more people can see us, also leave comments under this broadcast and to another important topic of the day, the nobel peace prize was awarded to ukrainian, russian and belarusian human rights defenders so, the laureates are the ukrainian human rights organization, the center for civil liberties, the belarusian human rights defender oles bliatskyi, and the russian human rights society memorial , we will talk in detail about why this is so and what it can mean here is such a combination of representatives of ukraine, russia and belarus in one award, for example, the representative of the norwegian committee, berrit reiss andersen

, stated that these three organizations, followed by a quote , embody nobel's vision of peace and brotherhood, these are three, three important participants in the struggle for people's rights also stated in the nobel committee, and here as the head of the norwegian nobel e-e committee commented on the judging of the award to the legal defenders of three countries on the broadcast of bbctive fortress seven seasy, we chose these winners that we to emphasize the importance of civil society, which plays a large role in any country, but is also important as a defense of democracy and opposition to authoritarian states. the scope of the peace prize is not a war in ukraine, but it is undoubtedly very serious. its background is a clear signal for russia and belarus, as well as ukraine's message is that russia has made representatives of civil society and human rights organizations an enemy

of the state, which is very regrettable and unacceptable. similarly, in belarus, bliatsky devoted his entire life opposition to the power of upholding the supremacy of human rights and the right to vote is exactly what we are addressing. we believe it can prevent wars and can end them. the mandate is to identify the person or organization that made the greatest contribution to peace over the past year, we want to clearly point out that civil society actors make a great contribution to the cause of peace by preventing war and contributing to the cessation of war, one can imagine the criticism of how this prize was awarded, taking into account the history of the nobel himself, his connections with weapons, will the

awarding of these prizes this year have a real impact, i do not think that it will have an immediate impact in the current situation. this is absolutely unrealistic, but the rationale for the prize became what we tried to determine how it could happen and it could happen because civil society was crushed in russia and belarus and ukraine was not a fully developed democracy and suffered from this, we believe that the activity of civil society is vital and this decision is within the will of alfred nobel, the criteria of international brotherhood. i think that when nobel wrote his will, he was aware of the terrible influence that the military industry and weapons can have on people, and this was part of his motivation for creating of this wonderful award and defining its conditions if you want to send a clear message, wouldn't

it be better to give this award to green or mass people with wider world recognition worldwide recognition is not something we take into account and we never comment on who did not receive an award, we believe that those who contribute to the cause of peace are not people who wage war, but point to those who can now change the situation and that war is possible to solve not only by military means the uprising of people, resistance and protests played an important role and we believe that our winners will continue to do so. so, about the winners, the ukrainian center for civil liberties was founded in 2007 to promote human rights and democracy in ukraine the organization also documented war crimes against civilians, the a-a center plays a key role in ensuring that the guilty are punished for these crimes, this was

noted in the nobel committee by a belarusian human rights defender near hellish, he is now in prison , he was one of the initiators of the democratic movement that arose in belarus inside in the 1980s, he devoted his life to the promotion of democracy in his native country . the russian memorial was created in 1987 by people who wanted to perpetuate the memory of the victims of the political repressions of the soviet era . by the way, peace prize laureate andriy sakharov became the first chairman of the memorial council to such a combination of representatives of ukraine , russia and belarus. by the way, a part of ukrainian society reacted quite sharply, saying that the combination uses russian narratives about fraternal nations and does not see the difference between the situation in the three countries of the representative offices of this

norwegian committee, the andersen flight was even asked at the briefing whether it is possible to consider the award as a kind of gift for putin's birthday , which marks his 70th birthday, she stated that this peace award has nothing to do with the russian president. the only connection, according to her, is that the russian and belarusian authorities are authoritarian regimes to oppose which all these award winners arose and the member of the expert council of the center for civil liberties, mykhailo sava , is now in touch. laureates - it was a surprise for us this morning. nobody knew about this decision of the nobel committee, but we perceive this decision as a resource, a very important resource for us

, because we need the support of the world, we need it because russia continues to commit war crimes russia continues to detain ukrainians who were actually abducted from the occupied territories , who are now in russia in detention centers and whom the russian authorities consider to be prisoners of war, although this is not the case. this is a gross violation of international of humanitarian law and all these people should already be released, such increased attention to the nobel laureates gives us the opportunity to tell the truth more , the truth that works for the protection of human rights is important. committee, yes, many ukrainian

politicians, journalists and public figures congratulated your center on receiving the nobel peace prize, but many users of e-e social networks , in particular, and not only criticized the fact simultaneously awarding the prize to the representatives of russia in belarus and ukraine in the year when russia attacked ukraine and also took an indirect part in this attack and belarus, this is your reaction to this discussion , and people have the right to their own opinion, but i want to remind you that this prize is not given to representatives countries these are not countries that are born, i did not hear anything about the fact that the nobel committee awarded putin or lukashenko, specific people and specific organizations are awarded, and if we talk about the fact that we are simultaneously on this list with the memorial and but them bliavsky well, that's all i'm proud of. we cooperate

with belarusian and russian human rights defenders, we cooperate with them in order to help, for example, ukrainians who are currently imprisoned in russia, we cannot work there, but our russian partners and friends can and they do it, and they risk their freedom well, let's also give the floor to the representatives of others laure let's look at the reaction from russia and belarus let's listen to the award очень it is very important for our human rights center and definitely this is first and foremost recognition of the merits of our leader oles bliatsky , who in 1996 founded this human rights center , since that time it is inextricably perceived that spring is oles bliatsky and oles bliatsky is spring , this is unexpected news for us, but it is very fair, it is a well-deserved award because oles gave many years, first the struggle for the independence of belarus

and then for human rights values ​​for the restoration of belarusian statehood and national identity, this is also important because two other human rights organizations were awarded with of two countries, these organizations are close to us in spirit, in terms of goals, and in terms of the work that we carry out as such in our countries, and this once again emphasizes the fact that it is not the belarusian or russian public population that is at war with ukraine, but the totalitarian government , that’s why it gives something the same correctly gives some moral strength, moral approval for all of us, for our many colleagues and not only memorials , we regard this award as a tribute to all the russian human rights community, the russian human rights association will be in the same row oh, to be in to a number of domestic laureates of this award , more than honorably with sakharov, who was one of the

founders and the first chairman of the sorbachov memorial, who started these laudable changes in our country and the world, with dmytro muratov, with whom we cooperate a lot, and it is a pleasure to be in the company of those who have been awarded this award today prize, i will remind you to contact us, the permanent expert of the center for civil liberties, mykhailo sabo. and we already told on the air that your center plays an important role in documenting war crimes committed by during the russian aggression, can you tell more about how it happens, how in the future it will help to bring the guilty to justice, it started at the end of february, literally in the first days of the russian aggression, to make it more clear , for me, the documentation began on march 3, right in front of my eyes and a russian infantry fighting vehicle

shot two civilian cars on the zhytomyr highway near kyiv, then six people died, we documented this fact , we did everything we could and then every day i was i documented what i saw. 20 public organizations worked with my own eyes . hundreds of volunteers worked on the documentation. they took video interviews, they took photos, and we made a huge bank of information. there are about thousands of cases of war crimes before this bank has access to law enforcement structures of ukraine and this information is used to find out who committed these crimes and to punish these people in the future, this is a question of justice and it is

fundamentally important now for ukraine, the people of any suffering, besides, we are now working a lot with our russian partners in order to help protect the terrible type of rights of ukrainians who are imprisoned in russia, prisoners of war, civilians are abused, they are tortured, and this is a terrible problem that the gaming community is still very concerned about i don't know, thank you very much for your work, and once again i congratulate the permanent expert of the center for civil liberties, mykhailo, on the nobel peace prize. kudos to ukraine, and to one more topic, prague today continues to be the center of ukrainian political life. today, there on the leaders of the eu countries gathered at an informal summit, and

the day before they, together with representatives of a dozen other countries, including ukraine, founded the new union, the european political community, the idea of ​​french president macron adds a new dimension of cooperation for a united europe, now once again with the participation of ukraine and for britain, this is also an important step and the details of the bbc's european columnist katya adler great britain did not return to the eu, but to the wider european arena , this is a decisive message from litras, she was warmly welcomed here, this meeting would not have had the same significance without britain, the fact that taras forest came here with over forty other european leaders shows the sense of crisis on the continent, how important it is that britain is here today, it is very important because britain has provided leadership for the last nine months after the terrible aggression that russia launched against ukraine

. can this meeting give concrete results and how important is it that britain is here? i think it is a very important fact that all the leaders of european countries have gathered here together to sit at the same table talks and to talk about security and energy energy was the focus of the british prime minister who spoke about possible power cuts at home many issues are on the agenda for discussion with the leaders from gas prices to russian aggression they share the same concerns this is the first time since brexit that the british prime minister the prime minister cooperates with europe, this is our national interest, says listraz, who used to be known for her eurosceptic tone, it is not about rapprochement with europe, but cooperation with europe about the problems that have befallen us alike we have faced rising energy costs together that is why i have decided to introduce an energy price guarantee so that people in britain do not have to pay bills of up to £6,000 this is why we are working with

our european partners to do more in the north sea in onshore wind energy cooperation on nuclear energy, including a new nuclear power station in suffolk, the focus of talks with president macron on immigration , many leaders and many opinions concerns about these first-ever pan-european meetings in prague castle expectedly did not give anything concrete, national interests for the majority are the most important, but nowadays europe needs consensus so much that even unyielding countries begin to cooperate and that there was no notification that liverpool will host eurovision on 23- it was just announced that britain is hosting the eurovision song contest on behalf of ukraine, and that's all for today
