greetings to everyone who is with us. yana, i, melnyk and the espresso editorial team will tell you about the most important and well- known at the moment and i will only note that the air alarm continues for everyone. regions of ukraine, except for the temporarily occupied crimea, and we begin this issue with the fact that as a result of the morning attack by the russians on the capital, three people died as a result of a drone attack on a residential building in the shevchenkiv district, this is a 59-year-old woman and two people under the age of 30, a couple expecting a

child, the woman was six months pregnant, another 19 people were rescued, mayor vitaliy klitschko said, the search and rescue operation is currently ongoing, a total of 28 drones flew in the direction of kyiv thanks to the air defense forces, most of the flying terrorists were shot down, then they sounded in the city five explosions, the invaders also managed to hit the admin damn, at the moment, traffic is blocked in some areas of several streets, it is obvious that this is another terror of the civilian population because the majority of kyivans woke up today to the sounds of gunfire that tried to shoot down these drones and the noise of the explosions of the drones themselves, this of course indicates that the terrorist putin's goal was to intimidate the civilian population and strike the city center, that is

why we are all appealing to the international community to provide the necessary protection from drones today such technologies exist and we are already conducting negotiations with a number of countries so that they are provided not only to the capital but also to all the main cities that are under attack today by drones, we must understand that today the attacks took place not only on the city of kyiv, but on other regions, on other cities, and unfortunately there are unfortunately the consequences of such attacks, unfortunately there are dead people, in general, injuries. well, definitely. now our goal is to restore the restoration of objects in the city in kyiv and in other regions and cities of sumy oblast , rescuers are eliminating the consequences of a rocket attack on a civil infrastructure facility, the emergency department reported that

two people were rescued from the rubble, the search for others continues for extinguishing and emergency rescue operations, significant forces are involved the fire was contained, its liquidation is ongoing, i will remind you that this morning, due to an enemy missile strike , a fire broke out and civil infrastructure was destroyed in the roman district. at least three people were killed, nine others were injured , another blow to the energy infrastructure of dnipropetrovsk region, the russian invaders targeted the kamian district, currently there there was a fire and serious destruction, rescuers are already working at the site, said the head of the regional military administration, valentin reznichenko, an official called on the residents of the border to save electricity, because this will significantly reduce the number of blackouts. subsequently,

explosions also sounded loudly in khmelnytskyi region, the head of the regional military administration, serhii gamalii, said and called on the residents to stay in shelters until the end of the air raid alert. in kyiv, the head of the ministry of foreign affairs, dmytro kuleba, addressed the council of foreign ministers of the eu, the diplomat called on ukraine to provide more air defense systems and introduce the ninth package of sanctions against russia, the restrictions must be very strict, in particular, include the disconnection of banks from the international swift system, in addition to that, the eu called on the eu to introduce sanctions against iran for the supply of drones by which russia attacked ukraine today, this is not just an attack on ukrainian energy infrastructure, this is

an attack on your energy security, because because of the fact that russia is destroying our energy system, we cannot export electricity to the european union and help you survive the energy crisis for the first time in the history of ukrainian-iranian relations , he called for sanctions against iran, which is called “the patience,” we listened. the european union created a new military mission for ukraine and also provided 500 million for the purchase of weapons . of the armed forces of ukraine will be deployed in several countries, the majority of ukrainian soldiers will study in neighboring poland, the mission of yume ukrainian will have an operational headquarters in brussels for general coordination at the

strategic level, vice admiral evri bleshen, who is also the director of the military planning and operation forces, was appointed commander. this mission will last for at least two years, the council of europe reported, and the fact that iran did not provide russia with drones was announced today against the background of massive the shahed 136 kamikaze drone raid on ukraine, the representative of the ministry of foreign affairs of iran is on the hook, according to him, the news that is currently being published about iran supplying russia with drones has political ambitions and spread with western sources, he emphasized that iran has not supplied weapons to any of the parties that are in a state of war, as you know, russian troops attacked several cities of ukraine with iranian kamikaze drones

desperate and shameful attacks, this is how the us embassy reacted to the morning strikes by kamikaze drones kyiv and other cities of ukraine in the diplomatic mission emphasized that they admire the strength and resilience of the ukrainian people and that the united states will be with ukraine as long as necessary some hits are known in the area of ​​the railway station in kyiv, it happened next to the offices of a number of european embassies, in turn, iran constantly claims that it did not transfer drones to russia for use in the war against ukraine. 37 of the 43 drones launched by russia over ukraine were shot down by the ukrainian defense forces from yesterday evening to noon this was stated by the spokesman of the air force command of the armed forces of ukraine, yuriy ignat. according to him, this is a good indicator and it will

grow. ignat added that ukraine now expects from its partners to strengthen the air defense system, which will cover as much as possible, the territory of ukraine was destroyed today, 37 according to preliminary data and we are still waiting for information from the air defense of the ground forces to add their data. maybe even more to the percentage plan, well, i already named 85 86%. in the air for the command to the south, it was commanded by this connection, informed about the destruction already in a few weeks. these are 100 iranian drones, this is 96 rogues, 136, as well as four mahajevs, and in ukraine, blackouts are again possible after the morning attacks of the enemy, damage to energy facilities infrastructure in the central and northern regions reported to ukrenergo that the situation in

the power system is under control, but in order to avoid emergency shutdowns, the power industry calls for savings. ukrainians need to unite and save electricity throughout the country, especially in the evening . in the meantime, i will tell you about what, despite the attack of the russians, ukraine continues to restore the territories recently liberated from occupation. settlements of the kharkiv region, there is already light in almost 8,000 settlements in the city of vovchansk, the village of white well and the settlements of the chuguyiv district, the head of the regional military administration, oleg synogubov, announced the explosions of t explosive devices in a short period of time, demining a large area along the high-voltage

in ukraine. 21:30 on espresso and with the beginning of the russian-ukrainian war in 2014, maksym has been a marine for 8 years, his main profession is military now, so this is my full-time profession, i am proud of it for the time service, he performed many combat missions, visited different points of the front. on february 24, 2022, maxim was near mariupol. it all started at 2:30 in the morning. i woke up immediately and i realized what had started. it was the second time when you were barraged by aviation uh, they are bombing, this is completely second.

the second war has begun, in spite of everything, maxim and his comrades were ready, the task was to hold on until the last, when we could no longer hold the enemy at the positions near mariupol, we retreated, uh, occupied the outskirts of the place and there continued the defense, street by street, they pressed into us, it was very difficult at the gates, 15-20 men each remained in formation, then they held on, then there was the defense of the ilyich factory, after the ilyich factory, part of the people went to break through. and we decided to unite with the

polkomazov and continue the fight for the city what kind of enemy were you? it was an organized army. they came in their uniforms with white bandages, so it was easy to identify them and every 7 minutes they threw something at us or fired rockets or dropped a bomb . every 7 minutes and once a day there was a massive air raid when heavy bombers flew in and dropped heavy bombs of the fab 3000 type on us. weeks turned into months of defense . the enemy dominated in the amount of equipment and personnel,

but the ukrainian military still systematically resisted and kept in formation. faith in the right thing is that we are on our land, this is the main thing. we did not come to anyone , they came to us and we fulfilled our duty as witnesses, and another feat was the combat and humanitarian support of the ukrainian military from the air brought in the reinforcements of the old woman, e.e., the ammunition and took away the wounded comrades of our heavy ones, but unfortunately, at the very end of the flight, these two helicopters were shot down. unfortunately, the guys were killed, and after that the connection with the big land

disappeared, all the risks were that they were suicide bombers, so there was a road to one end is a real hero that they returned back is a great feat when you received at what point of your service during your stay there you received a certain such message understanding what is needed to leave mariupol is there to surrender? i don't know how it was correctly formed for you and the leadership, when it happened in the matter of surrendering , we didn't have any idea at all, we were ready to fight there to the last, but the order came from the command to stop the defense of mariupol for preservation of health and life to go to the russian troops well,

how about surrendering to captivity but we did not surrender, we left azovstal with weapons in our hands, then we surrendered them, but we left the factory with weapons, we did not leave them, we did not raise our hands up like that not they didn't raise white flags, you didn't surrender, they carried out the order, going out to the enemy, the defenders of mariupol understood what could await them in captivity. well, we thought about what would happen next. well, we somehow prepared ourselves for some kind of physical impact. to communicate with your brothers there, speak only with

those who were in the same location as me , unfortunately, in the end, well, it was difficult to communicate , i will not tell much well, i will say so, it was very difficult morally and physically, someday we will tell but not now in captivity. when we returned to ukraine , it was

euphoria . we hugged each other and cried when you crossed this border. our people met us. it was hard. they provided first aid there, fed us and gave us cigarettes. oh, it was something. was it something they were building? i saw it for the first time. they gave us hot sandwiches, but they were already cold, but they will be very, very tasty thoughts about the family supported maksym both in azovstal and in captivity, i constantly thought about my family, how they are without me, as they are, i will not return, i constantly prayed to god, god grant that this will end quickly

. maksym is not going to fight for ukraine. i would really like to thank the people who met us. first of all, i will never forget those girls from the ambulance who did not feed me, tied me up and gave me a phone so that i could talk to the woman. they were probably the best moments of my life, also to all the doctors, to the ukrainian people who support us, that is, to all of ukraine, glory to ukraine, anna morozova, bohdan proskurov , espresso tv channel,

espresso tv channel's informational and analytical marathon. it is not completely clear that we will promptly monitor the situation and inform you dear tv viewers, of course with the best and most informed ukrainian experts and khrystyna vyansky, we can already provide you with some information from official sources, in particular. as a result of the last air alert, there was a report that there was a loud noise on the border of the ternopil lviv region. so far, there is an understanding that most likely the air defense forces of our country were working, and some may wonder why this air alert could be so long uh, in general, the number of missiles that were ready to be launched from the caspian, in particular, was about 40, so there is an

awareness that missile attacks can be massed at the end by the way of the air alarm what is characteristic is that they started launching literally two rockets one at a time, which means that it is easy to actually terrorize the population, in particular, and keep them in tension. the mayor of rivne, vinnytsia reported an emergency power outage in the center of the city, it is difficult to say whether this is intentional by rocket attacks, but in any case literally an emergency shutdown of the power supply in the center of the city, myru kavkazka mickiewicz avenue, heroes of the pushkin police, plus the district of the flax plant energy workers are working to restore the electricity supply and serhiy borzov from vinnytsia ova reports that the vinnytsia region is again under rocket fire, hitting a critical infrastructure object without casualties. also, during today's drone attack on ukraine,

one of the substations of e-e dtek was damaged. three people were injured, they were promptly assisted and taken to the hospital, this is stated on the website. dmytro bilotserkivets, deputy of the kyiv city council, adviser to the city mayor, glory to ukraine, dmytro welcome to the studio of the espresso tv channel, glory to the heroes. yes , today is a difficult day, a difficult morning. just like a week ago, the city of kyiv is ready. the city of kyiv is working stably, and we hope that we will have such mornings. less and people will be safer, well , unfortunately, no one except our air defense system can guarantee us calmer mornings, in any case, it is possible that there is information on the current air alert i'm worried, was kyiv shelled now? well, at

the moment, i don't have such information, in fact, in the morning already 27 28 drones were heading in the direction of kyiv, we have several uh flights, in principle i think all uh all uh tv viewers saw it we have a difficult situation that one of the apartment buildings was injured. by the way, this is an element of cultural heritage. the city of this building is 120 years old. there we were under the rubble. we were near 18 people who were rescued. unfortunately, there are three dead and also a child because one woman who died was in the sixth month of pregnancy, mr. dmitri , um, i am still surprised, why are the residents of kyiv staying in their apartments during

an air raid. and in that area where today there were flights with the appropriate facilities so that the people of kyiv could hide that nothing can be perfect, we always do everything in our power eh no one has prepared before for such an active phase of hostilities eh we continue over in fact, about 3,000 shelters operate in kyiv in this direction. and it is true that most of these premises are in normal condition, or a smaller part still needs to be worked on . there are also problems with the fact that some of our shelters are privately owned, but that is all the same. does not guarantee that the residents of kyiv cannot have access to such premises, we fix where they are not allowed and then simply by force actually give residents access

to such facilities. how large is the number of people who can reach these facilities if let's take the metro stations, then only in the metro stations there can be more than 1.5 million people. well, this is an example, if we take all the other shelters, then in principle, today there are about three million people in kyiv. there may be safety if they direct to the shelters and the dmytro metro station, one of today's hits by a kamikaze drone took place on a critical infrastructure facility, ukrainian energy is suffering again, e-e, as soon as this evening and in the coming days, the capital will go through this period of repairing damage caused by kamikaze drones , it may be necessary to resort to temporary shutdowns again, utility workers are working as

efficiently and actively as possible so that we do not have any shutdowns today, you understand that there is a request to the residents of kyiv to save electricity as much as possible in life, we need to stabilize the system, in principle , based on the e-e of recent days, we see that there is such a tendency that kyivans hear such calls from the local the authorities are helping us, and we had a decrease in load by about 30%, well, the president of ukraine, volodymyr zelenskyi, in his last address reported that, unfortunately, kyiv has only 7% in the last 24 hours. i ca n't tell you, i'm telling you. there in the last few days there was about a 30% reduction, well, in any case, to our great regret, we understand that the enemy will not abandon his ideas to lay down our power system and there is a fear that the enemy will
