not only that, the mobilized did not have the appropriate training, they were thrown to the front, and this was a big big sacrifice or panic and surrender. they tried to capture them precisely by positions or playing with squads or other such powerful means of influence, first of all, to killing at the front, preventing them from surrendering their positions or surrendering their influence in the first place. at this moment, he decided that this is a big mobilization analysis campaign. it is really implemented. he was really able to do something about the model of this such a powerful and loud format of involvement in the first place military reservists from the depths, as he said , where people are disoriented, where they do not have in-depth information of the time, they are confused. and here he just formed a position out of these people, we are now talking about 200,000. he is talking about 270,300 already thousands, but these are people who have no training they also have a desire to die. this is one hundred percent, and on the other

hand, today they come to the front and actually pour everything into the military units. and how do combat situations arise. they flee from the front. and this creates a general panic and new ones to incite this is the panic of the old that he orientated himself in this situation in order to prevent such negative consequences in the first place, he stopped the sending of the majority of the mobilized to the front, he creates 80 training centers and 12 training grounds for the preparation of these mobilized in prose for two or three months, this is what he thinks that a new one will now be prepared so to speak, there is a powerful reserve army of 200,000 men, which after two or three months was sent to new directions or to carry out offensive operations against us and in donetsk in the southern direction and partly in belarus, therefore, in this situation, it is extremely important for us today to get bakhmut, but the result of forward

operations and in the luhansk and kherson directions, specifics about the liberation of kherson, and this we will give birth just in case there is a surrender of the kherson group, the entire front in the south may collapse if there is panic global panic as greater than in kharkiv oblast it can collapse the entire southern front and not only the kherson zaporizhia oblast will be liberated in the future the eastern direction a will also fall this is a prerequisite not only for panic, and our territory has already been recognized for two to three months, this is one of the positive scenarios and the prevention of the enterprise of those reserves, they will not be ready, they will not arrive, they will not train, they will not arm themselves, they will not regroup, they will not conduct some kind of combat training, but in this situation it is the format that will allow us to enter even crimea. perhaps at some stage, if the situation and prerequisites are successful, then if we speak against and how will he act next, it is clear that he will use all of these in parallel systems for striking against us, these are missile

systems, drone systems, all these developments, he concluded a contract with iran on ballistic missiles , and this is again several socbaristic missiles that can be launched from, first of all, at civilian objects, at infrastructure objects, energy objects and it is understandable that partial our forces, but our military already have a clear command of the situation, how to defend against such strikes, therefore, as a rule, the civilian population will suffer, therefore, today we are talking about the system about today we are talking about rammstein fest, which clearly defined the specific terms, do not quickly install these systems to protect only the cities of ukraine, for example, the capital , large cities, but to protect precisely the front lines of our troops, this is a prerequisite for today's offensive operations, this is the scenario that will allow us to go on the attack, advance the territory, there may be a protracted scenario, but i think this is a situation that is not entirely profitable. yes , it is not a judicial release, but it will be a scenario for a longer time. i will add only what you mentioned to iran, but the reuters agency has just reported that iran has promised

russia's additional drones and missiles land land - this is the second confirmed such message, they write that the agreement took place between russia and the morning of october 6th, we will observe and will continue to discuss this too. thank you very much ukraine and russia held another exchange of prisoners of war, as a result of which ukraine was able to return 108 women, it was the first all-female exchange, the head of the president's office andriy yarmak said for his according to the words of those released, there were also girls who were illegally imprisoned in the ordlo and were captured even before the large-scale invasion. radio svoboda journalists were among those who met the freed women from captivity already on ukrainian soil, look at

you, they told you that ukraine does not want you, that you are nobody's business we were not needed, we were destroyed, they were not people, they were simply not people, hmm, women and the biggest

white, white women, their toasts, they knocked us out of the cell, they took us out every morning, every evening, we were entered, uh, count and there were us every morning, every evening, us they beat us, the only thing is that they didn't beat us on the big ones, but they abused us morally . phones at that time i simply did not have anything to write down and when the shutters of the automatic machines were jerked, when the distances were escorted by us , they sucked the shutters and the krasnoy sucked it urgently because we are touching they treated them very rudely and it’s not important

that they didn’t just jump off the bus and more we uh forced them to accept citizenship if some relatives in mariupol dnr forced them i say i refused me i say there is no one you can citizenship they asked me several times to accept citizenship it’s 108 ukrainian of the defenders who returned home, this is 108 saved lives, this is the military, but also some civilians were convicted and detained by the illegal occupiers and a full-scale invasion on february 24 in there are still a lot of captives, please return them home, they were left there with them today, please return them home. it was a meeting of ukrainian women released from russian captivity. 108 women

returned the day before, as i said, quoting andriy yarmak. it was an exclusively female exchange, and yesterday evening they all returned to ukraine, did you just hear the conditions under which they, er, they were kept in russian prisons? well, now we will talk about this in more detail before the broadcast, i hope he will join in a minute our next guest and we'll talk about it in the meantime, i'll quote you the news with which i started talking with the expert and obviously we 'll come back to it tomorrow, as i said, iran has promised to provide russia with surface-to-surface missiles in addition to more drones reuters agency us they report this, they refer to high-ranking iranian officials and two iranian diplomats, and the agreement, according to reuters , was agreed on october 6, when the first vice president of iran, hm, met visited moscow with other officials for talks with russia about the supply of weapons eh i think that we will

also discuss this topic tomorrow well, and also in continuation of this topic i will also say that yes , they tell me that our guest has already joined us , tetyana katrychenko is joining the air, he is the coordinator of the comedy initiative on human rights, we let's talk about the exchange. good evening. good evening. i'll start with this women's exchange. tell me how unique this event is, was there anything similar in the history of exchanges? no, this is the first such exchange, when only puppies got into the exchange. was the reason why russia agreed to carry out this exchange. well, i think, first of all, the ukrainian side worked hard to exchange certain groups, in particular women, and, for example, there was a group of wounded people before that. well , there were such negotiations and do

human rights defenders know in general the conditions under which these women were held, for example, or other women and men who are currently held in russia, not only in the russian federation . 120 in the donetsk region, which everyone knows, the conditions are different, depending on the place of stay, and the months of stay, there are a lot of them. generally speaking, this is not a special place for keeping prisoners of war. if we are talking about prisoners of war, these are standard colonies or detention centers on territory, if it is a colony, then it is in the occupied territory, if we are talking about detention centers, it is more often in the territory of the russian federation, the girls mention that people, for example, and also rostov-on-don it was noted that during this exchange, which we are currently showing, women and girls who

had been in captivity since 2019 also returned. and please tell me , do we now have an idea of ​​how many ukrainians are in russian captivity? well, if we talk about 24 on the list of the security service of ukraine, and we made an official request just the day before, there were 301 people, men and women, about 20 women were on that list, if we talk about the events of 50 february 24th, since the numbers are difficult even imagine, since you can say plus or minus exactly about military personnel, yes, there is no exact information about civilians, but we can talk about approximately 8-9 thousand prisoners , and among them are civilians. well, i understand that the russian federation very often extradites

civilians when this exchange takes place there, that is, civilians are captured, at least human rights defenders told such stories and they also end up in this general exchange fund. well , this is a very extensive topic for conversation, we can to say that after february 24, the russian federation captured not only military personnel, but also the civilian population in the occupied territories. well, for example, there in the north of the kyiv region, in buch, in makarov, they captured women and men of civilians and took them to the territory of the russian federation and kept them them together in the same institutions by military personnel and then some of these people returned to the territory to the ukrainian territory as a result of the exchanges, how the ukrainian side negotiated is another question russia decides everything, it actually tried to make combatants out of civilians. it seems to me that they just thought that at the beginning

they would not be able to raise a certain exchange fund, so they also presented civilians as combatants, well, they tried to present and and and then already during the discussion about the exchange, i think that the ukrainian side is exchanging military personnel for military personnel and asking that civilians be added to such exchanges. it is very difficult to say what the principle of this addition is. and please tell me, have you seen this video from by these women released from captivity. maybe you recognized someone, maybe some cases were conducted there for a long time directly by human rights defenders. well, i can't say that i knew someone, because there are quite a lot of women now in polonia, unlike when i said until february 24, it's difficult get to know someone but we know what you already said about the fact that there were some representatives of women who were detained until

february 24, in particular, we are talking about lyudmila guestenova parkhomenko, who was detained several years ago she lived in novoazovsk, donetsk region, they helped an orphanage in the gray zone and brought humanitarian aid to them , pictures, sweets, things, and she was detained at a certain point, she got a cold, if my memory serves me right, for espionage, because in many countries they are convicted precisely for espionage and well they returned her in this exchange it's actually very important important for all these families three hundred families that i also said earlier because they don't really believe that after a large number of very new prisoners that their relatives can get into such an exchange, but when lyudmila was caught, it is hope for other families who are waiting for their relatives there for

years, and among them there are both civilians and military personnel, thank you very much for joining our broadcast tetyana katrychenko, coordinator of the comedy the human rights initiative was on radio freedom estonia declared russia a state sponsor of terrorism, the corresponding resolution was approved by the local parliament unanimously, there were no dissenters or abstainers in this way, estonia becomes the second country in the european union to grant russia the title of state sponsor of terrorism. latvia became the first in the summer to tell us what such a decision means in practice. zoryana stepanenko will tell us . today is also preparing to recognize russia as a state sponsor of terrorism, this will happen a little later. there will be debates, we know in strasbourg .

of the already adopted decision, i will say that if we talk about the real impact of the decision of the estonian parliament , it causes damage to russia, primarily reputational, because the radical proposals of the estonian far -right party that would lead to concrete results were not supported, well, they proposed, in particular, to close the checkpoint on the russian-estonian border as well to call on the eu countries to close all russian representative offices except embassies and to deny political asylum to russians, general support, as i said, these proposals they did not find the plane in the resolution, they are not reflected well, the estonian parliament is in it, respectively. if we talk about what is there, it repeatedly condemns the annexation of ukrainian territories, emphasizing that it will never recognize it, also calls to deprive russia of the status of a permanent member of the un security council, the european union to additional sanctions against russia, western partners in accordance with the increase in military aid to ukraine, supporting the call of the parliament of ukraine to

states and international organizations, arihikova declares the russian regime a terrorist and the russian federation is a state sponsor of terrorism, the actions of which need a community, and the representative of the branch calls on the international community to approve similar declarations . of the resolution cited now that strikes on civilians and public places in ukraine were discussed in the statement of the latvian parliament and the latest escalation in this direction encourages and the european parliament to move towards the same debate on the recognition of russia as a state sponsor of terrorism on the agenda of the session in strasbourg the day before . it was not meant to be, but today they are already planned and the

debate will start late in the evening. meps will express whether or not russia deserves such a title as a state sponsor of terrorism a for the corresponding they are going to vote on the resolution. at the end of november, then its content will become more understandable to us, that is, it depends on what will be added to it, but in any case, this the resolution will primarily have the character of a rather loud message on the international political arena, but it will have a symbolic meaning, since the actions in this direction should be carried out primarily by national parliaments , then theoretically it could, for example, lead to a break in relations with russia, that depends again from the fact that in these e-resolutions potential will be prescribed by specific member states of the european union, but what are authoritative international bodies such as the parliamentary the assembly of the council of europe and the european parliament, if it approves this resolution, will recognize russia as a state sponsor of terrorism, well, its own, in fact, this makes it an even greater exile in the world of geopolitics and becomes

a base for further struggle with russia on the legal front zoryan thank you, we are very much looking forward to the decision of the european parliament live from brussels well, the fifth straushtravych from the member of the european parliament from lithuania joins the broadcast 5 times good evening and what kind of forecasts do you have, this is how i understand it should be voting eh for against what do you think they recognize they don't recognize well i have to say that tonight, late in the evening, the first discussion will be held in the european parliament, so the question is eh, the name of the discussion is very accurate eh, this eh means eh crime россии or let's say the actions that lead to the recognition of er russia as a state supporting terrorism er the first time er i should have said that this kind of discussion

is generally organized in the european parliament if earlier er many i would say in this parliament even they were afraid to probably say these words that russia can be equated to a state that promotes terrorism, now we are already talking about it openly and loudly, it means that you know that there has been some kind of a break , in my opinion, especially creation of politicians and if this is already such a discussion is organized after which and the next one, if already in november, i predict that there will be a certain resolution adopted, we can make another step on the way to what i would say to close even more doors and windows for the russian federation to the west and in general to a civilized peace, this resolution

will be ready in november, yes, you said yes. of political groups that are constantly talking about the situation in ukraine and already in november we will discuss the resolution well, and what does it do in practice, that's just what my colleague said that in principle it's a very big postyl or signal and if it talks about by myself resolutions, this is more like a very symbolic solution, that's what you say. i would say that in the united states of america, there is a very clear definition of the categories of countries that support terrorism, and certain decisions are made regarding these countries. - it is constantly decreasing, or we call some countries , or movements, or, let's say, political

groups that support terrorists, for example , the taliban . we need a discussion on this, it is especially necessary for us. it introduces the concept of how russia is a country that supports terrorism because it corresponds to reality. that is, if this resolution is supported by the european parliament, it will be a big signal for the united states of america to still be white the house or the congress made a similar decision already with all the instruments of influence. i think that they have determined the situation very correctly. i think that if it is strong , i hope for a political signal from the side. of the european parliament this will help those who understand and support ukraine in the united states of america, let's say in canada too well, look how it turns out russia is no longer alone we are already seeing a kind of

union being formed iran is helping it first with a drone and they say that soon they will help with missiles and today the ukrainian minister er foreign policy dmitry kuleba he has already turned to president vladimir zelensky to break diplomatic relations with iran but this is ukraine and they may love some in the future additional or sanctions or any other restrictions from the european union regarding iran. no, i think that this will be inevitable because even today the minister of foreign affairs of the european union did not meet and discuss, but various issues were discussed and it was very clearly stated that it is necessary to prepare eh additional sanctions eh regarding iran because looking at it so freely eh it is impossible here not only that help eh from the government eh putin's regime yes but this is already eh cooperation this is military cooperation which has influence

i would say that the security situation of eastern europe means our neighboring region and we cannot turn a blind eye to what is happening in this region. how does iran influence this region by transmitting drones? and secondly, there may even be rockets, uh, putin's regime, which , as we know, is already engaged in terrorist actions, so we need to react to it now , because tomorrow it might be uh, and late , because i don't think that this is uh, that's all we see on the part of eh-eh-eh means eh-eh regime in iranee eh understanding how much he can contribute in a military sense to the strengthening of putin's regime, and for the ukrainian parliament, the ukrainian parliament

approved a resolution, more precisely, in which it stated that the chechen republic is temporarily occupied by russia and recognized also, he condemned the genocide of the chechen people . tell me, please. can we expect such a bright political step from ukraine? we often hear people who say that it all started in chechnya. what exactly is chechnya - this is green? this was a green light for putin so that he would continue to take some actions that resulted in the deaths of people. here's what you think about that you know, i would consider this question as an opportunity to completely reconsider what has been happening in russia for the last 30 years, because for a long time the west, and in particular the european union, was simply closed by force looking at myself with uh, evaluating and uh

watching what's going on in russia, they just didn't give themselves eh i would say such a luxury eh eh evaluate things as they are in russia and marked the situation. uh, and for many probably europeans politicians, this will be a peculiar discovery, but it is necessary . i think it should be done as soon as possible, because this is the same recognition of those uh, actafyginocide and uh, links of uh, well, those peoples who fought against the

soviet regime. and now putin simply uses it and strengthens it own power of the subject by the methods of the stalinist methods that we know so well or, let’s say, so sadly. it seems to me that it is still at the beginning of the invasion. i asked you something. if такой видение and you told me that it is unfortunately not there. and now it is, i think you know, we are getting more and more common understanding. i hope that members of the european union are also members of nato yes, yes, in ukraine, we have probably already decided enough, well, i would say that

75 % at least everyone has the same opinion and probably that moment uh, the nuclear big nuclear state russia is somehow still frightening with its past and the problems that can be created because of that, but i think it is inevitable that we must have a common well, maybe not a strategy, but at least a common conceptual understanding is what будущество ждёт россии thank you very much well, we will follow the debates in the european parliament today, the fifth, getting ready, the member of the european parliament from lithuania was on radio svoboda well, in the end, i will quote you one interesting piece of news, at least today perceived it as an absolute victory. the verkhovna rada voted for the basis for the draft law on changing the conditions for obtaining ukrainian citizenship , so now a person applying for ukrainian citizenship must pass exams on the history of ukraine, the

ukrainian language and constitutional law, 307 deputies voted for this decision. well, it will be we will also follow the second reading on this svoboda life is coming to an end, i traditionally encourage you to subscribe to radio svoboda pages on social networks instagram telegram twitter vietnamese balsam zirka is the first step in the treatment of colds , a proven drug, not a cosmetic mixture , we will be healthy, ask vietnamese at pharmacies, trust only proven drugs my greetings to everyone who is with us, this is the final
