tomorrow we will find the time and opportunity to call those who today defend our country. believe that it will return a hundredfold. and the victory will be ours. let no one doubt. you have seen the graphics now. survey of the kyiv international institute, in the 13th year, 22% of ukrainians had a positive attitude towards the upa, now 43 in the 13th year, 42% of ukrainians had a negative attitude towards the upa, now only 8 it is difficult to say for sure, it is difficult to say for sure whether it is negative or positive . 37%. well, that's right. it seems to me that's what you see. you see 42 negatives. i congratulate you on bbc news ukraine . olga palamaryuk works in the studio and here's what we're talking about today. 120 days in one student's cell. an

exclusive interview with azov and les samoilenko of russian capture, strengthening of ukraine's air defense, what and when nato countries promise to provide. the general of the un assembly supported the territorial integrity of ukraine. the parliamentary assembly of the council of europe recognized the russian regime as a terrorist. what consequences will these decisions have? returned twenty soldiers from captivity about the exchange of prisoners, the head of the president's office, andriy yarmak, said, according to him, among the released 14 soldiers of the armed forces, four soldiers of the territorial defense, one national guardsman and one serviceman of the navy, at the same time, the russian

ministry of defense reports that 20 people also returned to russia as part of the exchange. already the third exchange in the last month, since october 11, it was possible to return 32 ukrainians in september, 215 ukrainian fighters, including 108 azov fighters, at the same time from russian captivity a soldier of the azov regiment, lieutenant ilya samoilenko, returned. he told the bbc that he was kept in solitary confinement for 120 days and he was afraid that he would never return to ukraine. this is his first interview in the international media. after your return, you did not destroy residential areas. we saw it with our own eyes and it was so difficult to understand why they were doing it and we were trying to do our job as best as possible no thoughts of retreat we were surrounded by our

brothers everything in nevoling capchurdback baby dittles to ask about the details of being held captive in those who returned are not worth it. it is obvious that the russians used torture on them. i was imprisoned for four months in relatively normal conditions that every month their condition worsened. find a video on the internet about the conditions of being in a regular russian prison, multiply everything by two and you will have the conditions for prisoners of war, they do not respect the rules of war, the geneva convention , they do not respect human life, most

people thought that you would never be released, what did you think could be released when we were captured there is a high probability of getting to russia and never returning, a huge probability, did you prepare for this, was there a moment when you simply lost hope of returning home you should never lose hope , but there is no hope, blind you and prevent the perception of reality, what did you feel when you first returned to your family blablans happy se my friends - this is your waiting after a long time, happy to see people you love so much, happy to see friends of people who were waiting for you, but this bitter moment, hundreds of families are still waiting for their soldiers, the russians are still

they are tortured, they are kept under humane conditions, that is why the main task is to restore strength and return to the battlefield, and we must return as a strong unit, we must free our boys, well, the story of ilya samoilenko. and you can read on our website bbc.ua the large exchange of prisoners during which he was released, i will remind took place in september and soon ukraine will be provided with systems to suppress the work of military drones, nato secretary general jens stoltenberg said this while summing up the results of the two-day meeting of defense ministers of the alliance member countries in addition, according to him, nato countries have decided to increase their own reserves of equipment and weapons, the strengthening of ukraine's air defense, nuclear threats from russia - these are the key issues that were discussed in brussels, what else will be transferred to kyiv, analyzed by bbc correspondent jessica parker, she is now in brussels, now over the

past few days, we have heard serious statements of promises, renewed promises regarding assistance to ukraine with air defense from the representatives of the usa, germany and great britain, but in fact everything is quite complicated when you look closely at the example of britain promised something as described by the advanced missiles, these missiles will work with the systems to be provided by the usa, but at the moment we do not know the exact dates of the arrival of these systems, the us secretary of defense was asked about this yesterday and he could not give a specific answer regarding the time, there is constant pressure to supply more arms to ukraine, but officials say it's not just a matter of just giving weapons , you need to consider what weapons ukraine needs right now, of course, this week, air defense is an important issue on the agenda after missile shelling of ukrainian cities, which the west calls selective, previously also paid attention to other types of weapons. officials say that in order to provide ukraine with weapons, they need not only to find the right

resources, but also to ensure appropriate training and make sure that it can be integrated into the defense system of ukraine. nato constantly emphasizes that is not a part of this conflict ukraine is not a member of nato weapons coming from nato member countries to ukraine have to some extent exhausted the internal reserves of the minister of defense discussed the issue replenishment of these internal reserves not only to help ukraine but in order to in some cases increase defense spending in the future and while the world promises russia continues to attack ukrainian cities from the western regions there were reports of ice missiles sounds of air defense there is a hit on a military facility in the lviv region, president zelenskyi said that the power of ukrainian air defense is not enough to overcome such an aggressor as russia, ukraine has only 10% of the required amount and we will talk more about that with my colleague, bbc correspondent oleg chernysh, but congratulations. so, what weapons has ukraine and nato already

agreed to provide to ukraine to protect the sky? and what did you promise? i congratulate you once again. in fact, there are not so many specifics. there are, in principle, general positions that were agreed at this meeting. of the rammstein group that it is necessary to help as much as possible to help ukraine to build an integrated system of anti-war and anti-missile defense, and actually regarding the provision of complexes, again, the information is not correct and there are many statements that four complexes of anti-aircraft missiles will arrive from spain. this is quite an outdated system, nevertheless, it is reliable , it is effective in principle. there are

statements about the transfer of e-e systems for suppressing drones e-e as we understand against the background e of mass attacks by iranian drones this is a rather urgent problem, but i emphasize that again e-e there were no even more specific e-e statements well, actually the pct so system which was handed over by germany we also heard about it, how much it can really strengthen the defense. and here it is, this is the long-awaited, long- awaited system that finally came to ukraine the day before yesterday, the expectations from it are very high, it is the most modern weapon that there is in the world, and i emphasize that they do not have it yet even in germany's armed forces, in fact, in ukraine, it will undergo , so to speak, its first test in real combat conditions, what can i say about iost -

it is an anti-aircraft missile system of a medium range, the most important thing is that it has this uh a very sensitive radar that can detect and intercept russian cruise missiles, for example, the x22 kha101, which fly very low and change how it is, that is, the broom detects them, it guides them and it destroys them, not allowing the target to be expressed, this is the most important thing, besides, it is enough, the system is highly maneuverable and uh it is actually sufficiently protected. it is difficult for a project engineer to calculate and destroy it, that is, in the future, again, this should greatly strengthen the ukrainian anti-flood defense. i also emphasize that we received only one battery in which three launchers the installations should be installed next year.

but for now we have one battery, so this battery releases 24 missiles at the same time, that is, it can destroy 24 targets, well, this is actually quite a significant reinforcement , and if you take the radius of action of the ariste, for example , a section of 100 km on the front or there in the planned city it can protect it, for example, such a city as odesa or there, lviv can be under the protection of this battery, even ukraine itself was one of the first, and we asked western countries to help close the sky, and president zelenskyy repeated this today certain shifts are taking place, we can see that they have finally heard ukraine and the sky is closing over it, in fact, statements and promises are very promising , actually, if this is all implemented, everything that was promised at these meetings, rammstein, then it will be the same the closing of the sky, which

ukraine wrote about so long ago, i will explain what the matter really is, so far they haven't given us aviation, which we would really need, but we are promised and most likely they will provide anti-aircraft missile systems of different radius, it works medium distance and little, that is, uh, and they were all integrated into one uh, crazy countermeasure system, not against missile defense, when will all this be implemented, in fact, ukraine is sufficiently reliably protected from attacks from the sky, the only question is, again, uh, the time when all this will be the question of compatibility has also been addressed, since as is known, ukraine now uses the old soviet system of s300 letters and so on. how will they be combined with the latest american and european systems such as iris and nasambs at the first stage?

i.e. these problems. if they can be solved , the ukrainian sky will in principle be closed and it will be an unconditional success for ukraine. thank you. this was a bbc correspondent . britain remains at war with russia, the government of the united kingdom announced that when providing medium-range missiles to ukraine, they are used for anti-aircraft american missile systems for sams. and as the actual weapons , the ministry of defense of the great britain allowed a bbc film crew to visit a plane that delivers weapons to the ukrainian military in the 21st century military copper is measured by boxes many boxes this is the first time since the beginning of the war that mass media have been allowed to film this huge secret operation to

supply weapons the officer responsible for it says it is about to show the full scale of britain's aid to ukraine, we are absolutely united with ukraine and stand in defense of freedom and democracy, as well as the nation's right to be sovereign already late in the evening we we are leaving the british airbase bra with north, we were not told where we were going for security purposes, the team that performs these missions, the contents of many of these boxes are classified, but we were told that some of them have brimstone anti-tank missiles, according to the ministry of defense, great britain sent 10,000 anti-tank missiles to ukraine - 100,000 artillery rounds and almost three million small arms rounds for crew members who we cannot name for security reasons these

flights are exhausting and you just keep doing it not knowing when is the end of this operation now we can really do it and not determine the end dates we land already in the dark the plane is quickly and efficiently unloaded one this flight carries 12 t of weapons you are enlarged by the sensor housings so delicate that we can't even tell where we landed or in which country, all that is known is that we are somewhere in eastern europe, soon these weapons will be in the hands of the ukrainian military on the front lines, crew members say that this is a mission that they also believe in, ukrainians have the right to control their country, as they think it is necessary, if someone tries to take away such a right from them, it is important to challenge it, that is exactly what we are doing with the cargo down, the door up to britain, we are returning in the

dead of night, britain has already made more than a hundred such flights and there are even more ahead of us, and we will talk now on the diplomatic front, the parliamentary assembly of the council of europe adopted a resolution that declared the regime of the russian federation terrorist ; the resolution also included an amendment and a call to provide ukraine with air defense systems palia became the first international organization to recognize russia as a terrorist state, but that's not all . the un general assembly supported the resolution on the territorial integrity of ukraine and called on russia to cancel the illegal annexation of the occupied parts of donetsk, luhansk, zaporozhye and kherson regions, and we are joined by the president of the ukrainian foreign policy association, volodymyr khandugy who at one time represented ukraine at the un at other international organizations. i congratulate you on the air. the parliamentary

assembly of the council of europe became the first international an organization that almost unanimously recognized russia as a terrorist state, what real consequences will the resolution have, in your opinion, i would not exaggerate the significance of this step on the part of the parliamentary assembly of the council of europe . to the situation that is happening today, but it is politically important and i think that other international reactions should also make such a decision. but it would be much more effective if such decisions were made by states members, in particular, of the council of europe, whose deputies spoke in favor of such and such for such and such a qualification of the actions of the russian federation, but when the relevant decisions will be made by the states

, members of the council of europe and in general a wide range of states that are in the legislative session in the year and record that russia is a terrorist state then we can talk about some influence on the situation. and what about another decision, such as the recognition of the illegal annexation of temporarily occupied parts of four ukrainian regions and the demand to cancel the urgent i wonder what this will mean in practice. look , in my opinion, this decision of the general assembly is very important. i even said that this is a landmark decision of the un general assembly, but it is not the first, but its significance lies in the fact that for the first time, the conflict was a war that was unleashed by russia against ukraine is placed in the context of violation of the charter of

the united nations. united nations that is, this is a broader concept and as we know violators of the statute of the united nations, namely the russian federation is recognized as such in this resolution. they should bear responsibility even regardless of the fact that this resolution was adopted by the general assembly and not by the security council , moreover, this the resolution was adopted within the framework of a special extraordinary session of the general assembly, which was convened precisely because the security council, due to the e-e veto or with the veto used by the russian federation, could not fulfill its the statutory function, namely the maintenance of international peace and security, and now let's say this is on the

agenda, well, let's say directly, the general assembly actually took over the functions of the security council, and we must continue this very track of using the mechanisms that the united nations organization has today and e- in this way, your potential is far from exhausted. i think that there are many opportunities in the un as a whole and in the general assembly in particular. despite this, there was a right-wing veto of the youth and the russian federation. to fulfill one's function, namely the preservation of international peace and security, there are mechanisms , and i think that this is what we should focus our attention on, and not look for, you know, ghostly options , such as, for example, the exclusion of russia from the zone or its legal deprivation, and unfortunately, unfortunately, this is all

correct but, unfortunately, this is not realistic at the moment, but to use the mechanisms of the foreign policy association of volodymyr khantohiy, i wanted to talk more, but, unfortunately, the gas pipelines and the export of ukrainian grain and not a word about the war in ukraine, at least this is what they say in the kremlin. the leaders of turkey and russia recently met today as part of a regional summit. during the meeting with recep tayyip erdogan, putin said that turkey can be used as a hub for the delivery of russian gas to europe, because the route through turkey turned out to be the most unreliable way of delivery. gas to the eu after the explosion on the northern stream, in addition to gas, putin and erdogan discussed the grain agreement, the agreement on the unblocking of the black sea ports of ukraine and the export of ukrainian agricultural products putin once again accused ukraine of allegedly

exporting grain to europe instead of poor countries, ukraine rejects these accusations at the same time, according to putin's spokesman piskov, during the meeting of the russian and turkish presidents, the issues of resolving the russian-ukrainian conflict were not discussed, and vladimir putin is currently in a crisis of his own making he has no other way out except to resort to even tougher measures in the future, according to the former director general of britain's secret intelligence service mi-6 alex younger here's what he said on the air of the bbc new program, let's find out these tougher steps that putin has taken, these attacks on the whole of ukraine, are they temporary or is there a possibility that they will become regular? i think putin's actions are limited by problems with logistics, so fortunately it will be quite difficult for him to maintain the same level of attacks which, by the way, show his

weakness for a long time, you were the central person behind the intelligence reports from moscow, what reports should we expect now when we hear how putin threatens escalation cold blood but we have to remember that his statements are the things that he just needs to say in the situation he is in, i think. my colleagues should expose his true intentions behind the next terrible statements, and how much further. everything will depend on that bloodthirsty new commander whom he appointed, i think putin has no choice but to become even tougher in this sense, i am a pessimist. putin has no room for maneuver in order to give back. what is the probability that a mutiny will be organized against putin personally? the speech he made a few weeks ago and

look at his facial expressions and statements it will become clear how putin is not ironically in great danger of being displaced by self -created political circles, optimistic, nationalist, probably even fascist, which were his circle of support, and now they accuse him of not being tough enough and determination. so, if he were to be dropped, would it be right? i understand that then there is a danger that he will be replaced by someone with even more extreme right-wing views, and that is why we we have to be careful with our wishes personally , i think that will happen and eventually putin will be replaced by someone with even more right-wing views stated that a nuclear attack was unlikely do you agree with this statement my key

belief is that extreme views on the situation are not justified too bad but i think that we should not expect major military breakthroughs from the ukrainian side, however, talks about the imminent nuclear threat are also exaggerated, these are the talks that putin wants, he is trying to intimidate us and although such a possibility should not be ruled out, but in reality i think we have not yet reached this point... the winter is so close to the conflict, which thinks it will slow down the conflict , everything looks like at the beginning of other conflicts that putin froze. remember georgia, he took the territory, tried to consolidate it diplomatically , was defeated and simply decided to camp on the land that vidi took is one of the reasons why ukrainians are fighting so desperately now it is because they are trying to prevent such a scenario from happening again on their land but putin continues to strengthen himself on the fact that he captured with hope that

europe will surrender during the winter and this is the main way out that he sees in this situation and this week the leader of the bogater-fael grossi met with putin, after a visit to st. petersburg money came to kyiv and announced the progress of ensuring nuclear security and the protective zone around the zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant in kyiv, he spoke with journalists and we are joined by my colleague zhanna bezpyachuk zhanna congratulates so what did money tell about his visit to russia, what did he say to putin it is already known that olya vitay knows that, and in rafalt money he talked to a journalist in kyiv and told next what he considers to be a positive signal, first of all, is the fact that the russian president is so ready to talk about security and the protection of the zaporizhia nuclear power plant competitor, this is

his first message, and the second message actually consisted in the fact that, after all, it is possible to talk about some progress, because the direct shelling of the zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant has stopped, although it still remains in the actual combat zone, what exactly said rafael grossi, the russian president is offered to listen to his words further. it was a very important meeting. he discussed the same with president zelenskyi. it is important for me to communicate with both sides. annexation we must continue to work to protect the plant because the situation there, as i told him, continued to be very unstable and risky, so the essence of the message is that the

zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant had to control ukraine itself, and also raphael grosia spoke about the fact that the zaporizhia nuclear power plant cannot be the target of any military actions, nor can any shelling be carried out from its territory under any circumstances, and the main thing for him at the moment is to ensure that this status quo is fixed when no one is shelling the nuclear power plant itself. actually, the money emphasized that megate cannot recognize the annexation. yes , that is, stores can support russian encroachments on the ukrainian nuclear power plant. tell me about it in detail, if you can, briefly. in the following what rafael grossi emphasizes about no recognition of the annexation of the plant can happen, but de facto we see that the entire zaporizhzhia e-e

region is now being shelled by russian troops very actively and this creates new dangers for the nuclear power plant, but it is still too early for the demilitarized zone around speaking at the same time i will add one more important point that in raphael gros spoke with vladimir putin according to his words and about the kidnapping of the general director with the code of his deputy of the zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant they took out with their eyes closed in the known direction of the general director, then they threw them out on the territory under the control of ukraine. what can be said about what security zones of the control zones are difficult to talk about? are there any prospects for the demilitarized zone, the only thing that the ukrainian side emphasizes is that

ukraine is ready to further cooperate with mother that's all for today, more stories, search on our website bbc.ua and on our pages in social networks, and you can turn on our program tomorrow exactly at 9:00 pm take care of yourself six-star vietnamese balm is the first step in the treatment of a cold, a proven drug, not a cosmetic mix we will be healthy ask in pharmacies vietnamese trust only proven medicine events most important events
