them an 11-year-old boy was saved, we mentioned just about him on yesterday's broadcast and later it turned out it became known that this child died in the hospital of cardiac arrest, the head of the president's office, andriy yarmak, put, as he himself says, an irrevocable demand to the international committee of the red cross within three days, i.e. until october 17, to send a mission to the colony in the occupied olenivka where ukrainian prisoners are kept, otherwise he says yarmak ukraine will use all possible informational diplomatic means to move from the place of this issue yarmak also emphasizes that today the question of the conditions under which the of ukrainian prisoners, the international committee of the red cross today responded to the statement of the head of the office of the ukrainian president, listen since february we have been working to gain access

to check the conditions and treatment of prisoners of war, as well as to inform their families, we were able to visit hundreds of prisoners of war from both sides, but there are thousands more whom we could not see and we are concerned about their fate. we want to emphasize that our groups were ready to visit the deer colony and any other place of detention prisoners of war, however, in addition to granting access at a high level of government, this requires practical measures to be implemented on the ground. we cannot forcibly gain access to a place of detention or internment to which we were not allowed. i would like to remind you that on the night of july 29, one of the camps of the penal colony the village of olenivka in donetsk region was destroyed and then at least 50 ukrainian prisoners of war who were held there died, according to the ukrainian authorities, russia organized

this mass murder in order to blame the ukrainian forces and in particular to harm the supply of western weapons to ukraine, the advisor to the head of the president's office, mykhailo podolyak, joins the broadcast. my greetings to you, i will start with the statement of andriy yarmak, he says that if the international committee of the red cross does not send a mission to the deer park, then ukraine will use all possible informational and diplomatic means please tell me what kind of means these can be, well, we will first use pressure on international institutions, well, that is, look, we have uh, we have the red cross the international red cross, which is supposed to be carried out, you just gave the synchronicity of a person who should have said that we have done such and such a volume of work since february, but in fact the person says that we are trying to do something there, but i'm sorry, the russians are not giving us access, that is, an international institution does not

fulfill his functional duties, it is very important that they are generally used to living like this, we would like to do something, but there is no progress on the matter itself, and we definitely believe that then everything in world society will have to be raised the question of the need for such institutions and this is public informational pressure on this institution so that it does not giggle, do you remember how this person named marvera talked about it and how he and lavrov met and they were there seriously, it was somewhere in march or april of this year, and they were there in full serious giggling talking about how we could make some filtering camps here for ukrainians fleeing the war, so he must not giggle with lavrov, yes a clearly arrived is referring to the geneva convention, he said, "you are obliged to give me access to the reindeer herders or to other cities where we have prisoners of war. if he cannot do this, then

let him resign. we will demand this. this is the first . the second is that if the red cross cannot fulfill its function, then then let them disband themselves and then we will discuss with our partners to create another structure because when there is a war and there are two sides, we cannot go to our prisoners of war, it is clear that this is what the red cross is for, which has to force the russians to go in to the places where the prisoners of war are located and to give the whole picture from there to what we are raising this issue today because you, of course, what did you do with our boys who went to 215 e-e released prisoners of war, you saw in what psychological and physiological state they are and we did not we understand that our prisoners of war are treated this way in the russian federation, but this must be demonstrated, the international red cross must do this publicly, must speak about the humanitarian catastrophe in relation to the of civilians and prisoners of war, this is important. and why isn't the cross silent, they don't create informational

reasons, they don't shout about it in foreign mass media, and it looks like they are sitting quietly somewhere and seem to be doing something, these are not tips. please tell me, what are you saying now? you will raise even ukraine is ready to raise the issue of disbanding the red cross there, the tragedy in the deer park happened back in july , today, october 14. and who prevented ukraine from raising these issues earlier, or were there any hopes and now they are gone, well, look, er, i understand that you always want everything to be like this one day and the next day everything was done perfectly, it doesn't happen like that, this is about this, this is the procedures, this is the ingrained principles of the work of international institutions . look, a certain time and the un did not react to what is happening in ukraine, it made very careful statements and practically and today we see the statement of pgutierrez and the un resolutions, which are significantly different from what was there three or four months ago, this

indicates that the institution is changing and occupies an important place in order to put russia in its place , on the one hand, on the other hand, we see such institutions as the international red cross, and therefore, after the tragedy of the volynites, after the shelling, well, not the shelling, but the detonation that the russian troops set up there on the spot, we they kept talking to the red cross. let's go there after all. how do you want to do it? you have to do it as a statutory job. they said: yes, we will do something. we are negotiating. passed and today we demand, and you have now quoted us, we demand more effective work in accordance with our bridges. we do not demand anything that is not prescribed as a function of the red cross .

they make a big office for themselves and write reports, we tried to come there, but they didn't let us, we tried to come again, but they wouldn't let us, so ukraine gives permission for access to all prisoners of war of the russian federation, and the russian federation does not give and the red cross instead of publicly accepting that is it and er demand there let's say another extraordinary meeting to present claims to the russian federation they don't do that. that is , today we want them to somehow actively work firstly, they put pressure on russia, secondly , they put pressure on information, and thirdly, if russia still refuses to use the sites of other international institutions in order to consolidate russia there, well, i understand the obvious things demands are another topic today oleksandr lukashenko confirmed the introduction of counter-terrorist measures in belarus in connection with what he says in connection with the aggravation at the border, i will

simply say that there is a strange situation there because initially the belarusian minister of foreign affairs said that the country is introducing the counter-terrorist operation, her regime, then the belarusian kdb denied this information, alla kosenko confirmed it again well, nevertheless, according to the last possible information of yours, do you understand what is happening in belarus, who could it be ukraine effect, i think that it is much more clear to us what is happening in ukraine in this case, and this suggests that the governance of the state is gradually decreasing. in the ukrainian direction and it's not clear what's going on, it's ukraine that created this whole problem, right, it's not the russian federation, uh, it entered the territory of ukraine, it's not the russian federation entering the the territory of belarus and reports attacked ukrainian cities, it is not clear why there is some instability on the borders, right, but in the meantime,

let's get serious, first of all, we absolutely clearly understand what is happening in belarus, belarus russia still wants to press for belarus to take part in the land operations, belarus does not have the reserves and forces for this and cannot do it physically, that is why belarus conducts all these, let's say, information operations that indicate that they seem to be actively participating in for some reason, this is the first and second, we definitely clearly understand that we have certain risks on the ukrainian-belarusian border, we have strengthened our defenses there, once again we are actively monitoring everything, once again we understand the mood of the belarusian army and once again it is emphasized in order to there were no speculations, we clearly see the readiness of belarus to conduct training or carry out certain actions that should simulate something in a

military sense no more but no less and third - belarus legally takes part in its so -called belarus gives its airspace its infrastructure, ammunition, shells, etc., the russian army, that is, the legal fact of belarus's participation, another thing is recorded that the army of belarus does not want to participate and cannot for various reasons. with belarus and it has already gained 25,000 votes. volodymyr zelenskyy publicly instructed the government to consider this petition, but the ambassador of ukraine to belarus said the other day that this is a wrong path and that some people there may suffer humanitarian projects, please tell me what the answer might be, after all, it is final and from your

personal point of view, why did you yourself say legal belarus is taking part in the so-called military operation, why then does ukraine still consider not severing diplomatic relations or introducing the visa regime is what the petition is about, let's first, after all, the president set a specific task to study the pros and cons of introducing a visa regime from belarus . why is it important? in order for us to clearly understand, because if from the russian federation absolutely it is clear that this is an important aspect in all senses of the word, because it is also necessary to learn from the belarusians, if it is important, the president will definitely insist on the visa regime, but i want you to see that democratic discussion is key, and mr. ambassador, i definitely have in this case, our plan is the ambassador, who definitely knows the situation in belarus much better and the situation of what is happening there, again, not a change from the russian

federation, do you remember the events that took place in belarus in the summer and autumn of 2020, do you understand that mr. lukashenko's positions are not as he thinks that there is a certain revolutionary situation, well, from the point of view that belarusians are against the fact that a person has ruled the country for 28 years alone and there was no democracy as a way of political competition, and therefore based on this is a discussion from the point of view of what is better for ukraine even in the short-term strategy, and if the government studies and says, look, it is important for us today to fix psychologically, fix, for example , such top positions without banning the visa regime with is the border with belarus closed at all by belarus , and so on? today, by the way, it is closed, only one crossing is in the volyn region, and then the president will make this decision

. i don't want us to be so simple, yes, as they say. let's close it, because it's very popular, or, on the contrary, let's open something there with belarus, because belarus is legally participating in the war. these are your words, yes , legally, i am personally participating, for example. i believe that belarus should be dealt with as harshly as possible, but there is a question, there is a question. one thing is that we do not want a second land front. it is correct. i understand that any statement. careless word - this is a war, we have a difficult situation from the point of view of winning on the battlefield, but we have a difficult situation because russia still has a lot of resources, and belarus is one of those countries that multiplies these resources, that is, it gives an additional certain amount of resources and

any careless word will give us the opportunity to get an additional burden on our cities an additional burden on the armed forces why do we need this i approach very pragmatically i personally believe that belarus should be punished for everything it does and in the legal sense first of all but between therefore, the government should study the pros and cons, and i think that the government will do it in the shortest possible time, and the president will make the appropriate decision, and this is an ideal model of moderating this or that process during the war, well, elon musk, maybe he too approaches the issue of pragmatics, stated, confirmed, more precisely, that he refuses to finance satellite communication services from tarlink in ukraine. satellite connection from stalinka, perhaps you still know what the importance of this old link is now in the war and for the

ukrainian front, it is of great importance, i will say right away this is a mobile broadband internet connection which allows you to work effectively on the battlefield , including that is important, let's fix this first, let's fix the second, elon musk helped ukraine at the most critical moment by providing this opportunity, the capacity of paralimkov, 20,000 stalinists entered ukraine, this is important, the third is that he is a private business, he does not have a state, he does not have humanitarian positions of some kind, well, that is, they exist, but this is a matter of business and the strategy of the development of its business, for example, says that it is not profitable for it to lose, let's again look at it objectively look and he says he has not yet stopped providing aid, the old links are working but he says that you want our other partners to block funding and now the fourth ukraine is negotiating at the level of elon mask and at the level of other

partners so that the program does not stop and i think that she will not stop while the negotiations are going on, but let's once again be grateful for the fact that he helped us. he is quite an interesting person , but he is a businessman and a pragmatic person, and therefore ukraine today will take care of itself with how hold negotiations so that the stalinists continue to work and i have no doubt at all that we will do it with a brushstroke that we use tarlinks on the battlefield that the mobile internet today in the present those types of war are extremely important thank you very much mykhailo podolyak adviser to the head of the head of the office of the ukrainian president was on radio svoboda, thank you very much. well, here's the report from

yakovlivka. this is a village in donetsk region that actually became the front line from russian shelling. the local civilian population is dying there, in particular, the correspondent of radio svoboda, maryan kushnir, who is currently working there, and we will show you his report next. well, they are not lying here, as you know

, these bodies were found from the settlement of yakovlivka, this is a whole of civilians who lived there, who did not leave because there was no opportunity, there was nowhere to leave, the reasons are unknown, our military found them, and we decided to take them out because of the fact that the police, not the police, nor the medics, do not go there, they conduct active hostilities, regular shelling every day. we think that somehow these people have relatives who can search for them. i think these people died from some kind of rocket because the

funnel is very large a very large one, it’s not even the 152nd projectile that flew into the rocket and destroyed two or three houses, and it turns out that these people were standing in the yard of their house during the flight and died. i think instantly because the man had a large fragment in his head when we took away a woman. also there in the stomach was torn. i think they did not live long. now there is an anchor from here in the settlement where they died either by a rocket or a projectile . it is clear that the husband and wife were

two bodies next to each other and now they are taking them to the morgue to bury them and they have to leave here. to get out quickly since both barrel artillery and direct-fire salvo fire systems work here this was a report by maryan kushnir from donetsk region, he continues to work there and we have literally been showing his reports every day for the last week, you can watch more on the youtube channel radio freedom ukraine well, don't forget to subscribe to this platform well, today in ukraine, as i said at the beginning, they celebrate the day of defenders and defenders , and then we will tell you the story of the defender , scout and combat medic yaryna chornoguz behind her

shoulders severodonetsk lysychansk bakhmut , she signed a contract with the armed forces after the death of her beloved on the front lines, what tasks does she perform now and why does she feel like a stranger in kyiv and what did she talk about in washington with congressmen where i went on an errand to the general staff, material terasa levchenko, actually, it’s a little difficult for me to speak in this interior right now, because i have to be with my unit, and we have losses, our unit has been at the front for the 14th month without rotation i want to go back because i feel like a stranger here in kyiv. well , now my place is here by decree of the president. you were awarded the medal this year for saving lives. in march, we were in our infancy. this village is north of mariupol. every day we were wounded among our civilians, probably because of this, on march 3, on our

a column of 40 units of equipment left the observation post, and we were there, well, in that one, maybe two companies were formed, but we managed to hold back thanks to er in love thanks to the artillery that supported us, the injuries were daily from easel shots from louis, bullet wounds that's when i was wounded in what in 2019. when i graduated from the university with a master's degree in mogilianka in literary studies, i went to study as a hospitalist. and now i went to the front for my second rotation, it was near the village of talakivka, uh, too near mariupol and now i serve in the reconnaissance battalion of the marines, i signed a contract in

may 2020, in which i passed in advance in may of the 21st year, we went through an obstacle course on ice skates. i am currently alone in my company and a girl in a combat position, as far as i am concerned a combat medic from the water, my first duty is first aid to the wounded, well, participation in reconnaissance operations, exits, i try to work like an ordinary er soldier. i also learned to master during this time er bipola near the shepherd when we were scouting there er this was

in may, we found a gray zone and found a bus with border guards that had been shot, they took out two wounded people in our car, transferred them to the operating table, everything was fine again, and then the driver of this bus was a female border guard, a junior sergeant in the border detachment, and she died, but i remembered how i saw her took away because of the fact that there are men who believe that they have the right to tell every woman there that there is a woman, you have no place here, you have to sit in tula to give birth for the first year. i managed to get through it, now i am quite comfortable i feel it in my company, unit, i don’t feel sexism from anyone in any lanka, you were in washington on behalf of the general staff, you were in the pentagon, you talked to the congressmen, what they said, they were

interested , first of all, in our combat experience. how effective would it be if we had this weaponry in march? may mercedes attacks need it. we talked about it when we went to washington. now it happened. we said that before winter they would bomb our critical infrastructure. that is, we air defense systems are needed, i want you to remember that every square meter is preserved at a very high price, that is, ukraine as a sovereign state, according to the estimates of the western military, ukrainian forces can liberate kherson and regain control over the right bank of the dnieper next week. that the ukrainian operational command of the south on thursday announced that it had freed five more settlements in the kherson region from russian

control. high mensol time, in turn, writes about that a possible breakthrough of the ukrainian forces is evidence of this breakthrough, in particular, the calls of the heads of the occupation administrations for evacuation are evidenced by the publication, presumably, this speaks of preparation for a decisive battle - this is literally a quote for a decisive battle, well, the kremlin-appointed so -called head of the kherson region, volodymyr saldo , addressed the day before to the leadership of russia with a request to help evacuate residents from the region in connection with the shelling. well, russian vice prime minister marat khasnullin responded by saying that all residents who will leave the kherson region, russia will not be granted residence and, as he says, everything necessary. well, but we return to the topic of how realistic are the forecasts given by western publications and whether the armed forces of ukraine can really liberate kherson, well, either next week or during the next week, as in particular reports the financial times, we will talk about it further

, vladyslav seleznyov is already joining the air, military expert, spokesman of the general staff of the armed forces of ukraine, 14th 17th year, good evening, glory to ukraine, i congratulate you with it's a holiday, obviously this is your holiday, and right away i want to ask you about this forecast given by the financial times. please tell me how likely it is that the armed forces of ukraine can liberate kherson by the end of october. of course, the financial times is one of the most respected publications. but well, i am also aware of the following: you and i are responsible journalists. that is why we must be very careful about information about the future actions of the ukrainian defense forces, whether there will be a counteroffensive of the ukrainian forces in the near future . of defense for the purpose of liberating kherson or not it is com
