that they will ask this question, it is not about some kind of partisan war that ukraine will support these republics, it is simply about their desire, and such a desire will come sooner or later , this whole mobilization, which is, first of all, about all of them, it is clear volodymyr, we have to finish. sorry, unfortunately, we will continue our conversation another time. thank you for the conversation. of war notes that russia is creating an information field for an attack on the kakhov hpp in order to justify its retreat in the kherson region, what does this mean for the energy

crisis in europe due to russian aggression? in russia, a political publication writes about the split in the ranks of the republican party regarding military aid to ukraine and how it will affect support from the united states after the congressional elections that will take place on 8 in october, watch svoboda life, congratulations - this is freedom life. my name is vlasta lazur. we speak live on the pages of radio svoboda. and on facebook and on youtube, as well as on the air of the espresso tv channel, but if you watch us on the internet, i traditionally encourage you to subscribe to the pages of radio svoboda. the prime minister of great britain lis trasa announced her intention to resign and this after 6 weeks in office in the usa, congress is preparing for elections, how will this affect financial

aid for ukraine already now american publications write about the contradictions on this issue in the ranks of the republicans, and kherson region, the occupying forces are moving military equipment and personnel from the right bank of the dnieper to the left, we will talk about all this in detail today, but we will start with the bahmut, it is donetsk, the hottest direction on the front, a correspondent of radio svoboda works there maryan kushnir, we will show his report further , if you think

about it now, ukrainian tanks are firing at russian troops. as you can see in the background, t-64s have now spotted the target and are shooting at it.

a shot, we are working, showing closed positions , a drone is looking for targets, assemblers and we are working on targets, targets are different, there are

rushes, there are hangars with the enemy, there are equipment, targets are different every day, they work on many new grids, they hit a lot, hit the fuel and lubricant material, but destroyed them vc destroyed them during the offensive, a very large number of the occupiers were destroyed. well, it's a little difficult, but it will be a polemic, ukraine, as they say, the t-64b tank is an old machine, well, it's normal, you can say that we often leave often we work in this direction they often attack a lot often climb often artillery duels take place in our place often tanks leave even work directly well it’s difficult it’s difficult

but everything how to say everything can be changed from well the situation is always changing then convey hello to our loved ones we love wait everything will be with us with victory ukraine i want to say hello to my parents to my wife to my children i want to say hello to my parents to my friends and relatives let us be waiting for everything will be ukraine glory to ukraine glory to the heroes this was a report maryana kushniras donetsk region and then kherson region, russian forces are preparing an information field for a

false flag attack on the kakhovka hpp in order to cover the withdrawal of russian troops from the right bank of the dnieper and to prevent or delay the advance of ukrainian troops across the river, this is stated in the current report of the american institute research on the war well, british intelligence suggests that the top leadership of russia is really seriously thinking about retreating from the right-bank bridgehead in the kherson region, but in under the conditions of the destroyed bridges, it will not be just intelligence also indicates that if russia decides to retreat, the key challenge for it will be the transfer of troops and equipment across the dnipro well , in the meantime, journalists of the scheme program of radio liberty, in cooperation with the russian service of radio liberty, found out that the occupying the troops are already moving military equipment and personnel from the right bank of the dnieper to the left, in particular, this is evidenced by satellite images, as well as videos that the military themselves shot. well, for example, journalists found in social networks, the profile of a soldier named makar

teplinskyi, a native of luhansk region, who is fighting on the side of russia, at the beginning of october, the soldier recorded in photos and videos and published the movement of russian servicemen and military equipment from the right bank to the left bank of the dnieper to the territory of ukraine occupied by the russian army in the area of ​​the city of nova kakhovka, but judging by satellite images, in early october, the russian military suspended the shipment of equipment to the right bank in the area of ​​the village of kozatske, since then the pen has been going there empty and returning to novaya kakhovka with cargo, let's discuss the situation on the front line further , yuriy ignatrechnik of the air force command of the armed forces of ukraine joins the air, my greetings to you, good evening, good evening, congratulations, let's move on from the latest news and the institute of war research of british intelligence , it is said that russia seeks to create an information field for a false flag attack

on the kakhovka hpp, they have been talking about it since yesterday so if the russian forces attack the hpp, first of all, how can they do it, and secondly, what could be the consequences, we are no longer anti-aircraft forces, probably everything related to the events of the hpp, but it is clear that everyone can do for my own conclusion, what is the mud attack, did they blow up the dams or something else? it is clear that no one has canceled the terrorist methods of the enemy, by the way , hd-zira was just on the largest arab channel, and they are also very interested in the kherson direction, and there is a very lively discussion, and also with russian specialists, well, actually, what uh, what can happen, well, it is clear that they will do everything in order to um somehow uh, it is safer to leave uh, exactly the right bank for yourself and to preserve uh,

well, life and health military equipment, what can they do, well, they have enough weapons to carry out any explosive sabotage activity using explosives or something else, here we only have to guess, i say that experts who have relevant intelligence data should really comment here so on well then let's talk about what directly concerns the air force, eh, for a week now we have been discussing the consequences of an attack by iranian drones. please tell me if there are any means in ukraine now that would, or maybe in the future, could appear in the future, that would guarantee a 100% shoot down it seems that the head of intelligence kyrylo budanov stated the other day that approximately 70% of these drones are currently being shot down. well, we even counted 85-86%

- this is for uh. today it the indicator is already growing and growing and well, unfortunately, we really don’t spend anymore and er gardens seems like today they have already done some kind of analysis that we really have too much to pay even for a reconnaissance drone that flies and gives the coordinates of enemy artillery and for an attack drone, the price may be too high for this activity, so it is not very fruitful, and the fact that we really spend a lot of energy and resources specifically on iranian drones what uh well, sort of simple, so cheap applications, and today they are shot down by all possible forces and means, and

fighter aircraft, by the way, and anti-aircraft missile troops, which kill most of all, shoot down the chessmen, and the 136 anti-aircraft gun is self-propelled from a summer installation well, there are some reps there that manage to influence these drones. well, accordingly, there are small arms, first of all, these large-caliber machine guns to shoot down such drones, well, this is barrage ammunition, first of all, i want to note that , uh, no one will give a 100% guarantee for shooting down it is necessary to break it 100%, it is necessary to carry the entire territory of ukraine, uh, actually, to consolidate it as much as possible so that the fly does not fly away. as they say, but unfortunately, we do not have the strength and resources of today's political forces, because the war has already been going on for 8 months such a serious war , so it is large-scale, our air defense forces are concentrated in many directions and

need different directions. struggle maneuver well struggle the enemy knows it too the enemy is studying the weak points of our anti-aircraft defense and accordingly, having that intelligence data, he can go around somewhere, pave a route left and right, how does he do it with cruise missiles , why doesn't he actually seem to shoot down all the missiles? well, the missile - it’s the same as a whole here according to the coordinates, well, it’s a bit technological, everything is clear there, 13 million dollars a 101 costs a drone, in principle, according to the same principle, you can lay a route and divide and disperse, dispose of our attention to that. it is clear that everything the west is proposing to us is to destroy them 100%, well close to 100%, the most we need is more firearms that can hit them and destroy them yourself, but you just mentioned a large border on a long border where

hostilities continue, you mentioned belarus and it was reported at the belarusian air base on the border with ukraine that military equipment was dropped today, it was spotted on satellite images, and local residents also confirm that the base has increased russian military personnel, and in particular, our colleagues from of the belarusian radio liberty service, they say that these satellite images show that the zyabrivka military air base is located under the gomol, and in the last two months, the number of military vehicles and military trucks has increased, and the area of ​​this military town has increased. they are talking about lukashenka, he is just scary, it looks like they are really preparing for something. well, today there was a briefing by the general of the brigade of general oleksiy gromov, da vintage noted that the threat is really growing precisely from the belarusian direction, well, in the end, they talked about it even a week or two ago, that there will be an actual

accumulation of forces, the fact is, why will they be nailed to belarus ? which is located at these airfields, there is a complete picture of the air forces of the armed forces in relation to what is happening, how much equipment is located there, what kind of equipment is there, it is constantly there, they are also there, er, its number has not increased in the last week, it is stable, what they are losing somewhere, they are moving, well, they have increased there in the hearing of us mig-31, so what is the bearer of the dagger, so two or three planes appeared there, and it has already become some kind of resonance, well, how did it not become, because it is related to something so resonant, because this mig 31 maybe today to be here tomorrow in the crimea and so on and so on, especially that dagger can be launched by itself and from russia eh, well, we see that we do not have the kind of countermeasures against it that we would like, so eh, it is

not so with something sensational. but the fact that the increase in armaments and of course iskanderi is like that were there and still are on the western borders of belarus and on other airfields used by russia. so, there, too, the s300 as 400 complexes are being introduced by russia, and now there is an accumulation of manpower in order to form together with the belarusian what do we call them volunteers there, or how can we form some group that can threaten us from the north, well, the general staff understands this and, uh, appropriate steps will be taken to somehow counter it. well, by the way, the general staff reported today that there are threats to belarus are growing but this they say not kyivshchyna and this could be a direction to the west of the belarusian-ukrainian border er to cut off the weapons supply routes and you can elaborate, maybe you know more well,

in the end there is nothing to detail here because it is clear that they will threaten there, we see western lutsk er volynska the region goes further lviv region below it is clear that the main customs roads pass through those regions yes, that is where they are probably located well, it is hard to believe of course everything will happen because it is possible, after all, we are going the withdrawal of the forces and means of ukraine is still on foot. that's right. from the directions where our troops are carrying out successful offensive operations, thank you very much for your comment. yuriy ignat, the spokesman of the air force command of the armed forces of ukraine was on radio liberty. ukraine will ask the eu senate to help with energy equipment after the russian attacks on energy infrastructure, can ukraine help the country of the

west ? energy crisis and survive the winter in the conditions of a sharp reduction in russian gas supplies and a gas theft accident, what action plan is being developed in europe at the summit in brussels, radio svoboda correspondent zoryana stepanenko is working. she will contact us every minute, i hope zoryana stepanenko from brussels live, which works for the one- day summit in brussels, where the eu ambassadors are discussing how to survive the winter in the conditions of the energy crisis, which was caused in particular by the russian invasion. i still do not see zoryana. is she from we are in touch now, they are telling me what will happen. and then we will discuss, as a matter of fact, not only in europe, but about the energy crisis in ukraine. europe can somehow influence and help kyiv. my greetings to you, i congratulate you. well, you know that heat

and electricity are taught here at all possible levels. well, for example, in this building where the summit is held, the atrium and corridors of this hall have been completely turned off the heating. wear sweaters so as not to get cold well, i think i could. don't be shy, just the usual dress code is more comfortable and it's 19° here now, since it's not cold outside, but the building was not warmed up, and because of the arrival of the leaders, they are in the same conditions, etc. related to this topic at the summit , it is dominated. i also propose joint purchases of gas so that eu countries do not compete for it among themselves on the market, and these proposals are now being discussed in writing. it is clear that the

prices of gas, oil and coal must decrease, and the prices of electricity must decrease. and this is what requires joint efforts from all of us in europe. we know that gas prices on world markets are currently falling and this should quickly be reflected here in europe , so it is important that we also discuss this at the same time that the european commission did not propose to limit the price of gas , i.e. prohibit buying it more expensive than would establish a price ceiling. at least 15 eu countries support it, including france, italy, poland, but the opponent, and this in particular is germany and denmark, say that in this case, suppliers can simply find other markets outside the european union, selling their fuel at a correspondingly higher price, so at the summit there will be passionate discussions between supporters and by opponents of gas price restrictions ukraine also in the focus of attention was the opening of the summit, and as you know , ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy addressed the leaders via video link, spoke about

the latest escalation on the part of russia about the attack on critical critical ukrainian infrastructure, he said that a third of ukrainian power grids were actually affected by russian attacks and said as a leader that ukraine now counts on their support in this difficult time and officially we have not seen any messages from the president's office, but from those who listened to zelenskyi's own address know the following information, well, actually, the leaders of the countries of the european union assured that they would support ukraine because it would require they talked about it here on the red carpet and they are going to write it down in the final declaration themselves , the draft of it is already at our disposal, and from the current requests with which the ukrainian authorities addressed the eu, you said that the power equipment is asking to supply a generator and spare parts for them and already some eu countries responded by saying that they are ready to actually carry out these deliveries to a new round of escalation, russian

shelling of civilian objects and infrastructure, which was the reason for this request poland and the baltic states offer to respond with new sanctions we must do a lot to push russia and stop russia's ability to continue this war our sanctions are working but unfortunately they have not yet produced the results we expected there are many things we can include some metals some diamonds individuals involved in war crimes crimes. i think we still have quite a lot of potential to strengthen our sanctions. the baltic countries, poland, have also prepared a plan for further sanctions. today it is being presented to other colleagues, and we saw this document there more restrictions, in particular in the technological and energy sectors, it is also proposed to prohibit cooperation with russia in the field of nuclear energy and to expand import restrictions. however, our sources in diplomatic circles say that it is unlikely that the approval of the next package can be expected. please quickly,

thank you very much zoryana stepanenko, live from brussels, where the eu summit is ongoing thank you zoryana well, meanwhile, the ukrainian authorities are calling on citizens to save energy, energy minister herman zalushchenko said that since october 10, russia has caused about 300 strikes on the energy system of ukraine with rockets , artillery, drones, according to him, about 20% savings in electricity consumption, he says critically, he would help the energy system of ukraine. well, if the population does not save, then the government will be forced to forcibly limit the electricity supply - said the minister. lana zerkal, diplomat, adviser to the minister of energy of ukraine, joins the broadcast. greetings. good afternoon, mrs. dzerkal. on our broadcast, some experts say that the situation is so critical that we should prepare for a complete blackout. others ask not to exaggerate and say that it is still very unlikely. and what do you say? and i will say that we are doing everything to

prevent this and are working now in brussels to provide the necessary equipment for the ukrainian electricity network and that our consumers were not left without electricity and i can say that our requests are supported and we count on the fact that they will help us a lot in restoring everything and ensuring the passage of winter. a massive blow to the ukrainian electrical infrastructure, but the europeans themselves are thinking about how to overcome this energy crisis in these conditions. and what does ukraine expect from european countries from the european union, what requests did you make, you say, you made a request, and there is approval, we asked for help with the equipment necessary for that to

overcome all the consequences of shelling in order for our energy system to work in regular mode, although regular mode is now very uh, well, it is possible to stretch it, but we still continue repair works, and for this we need equipment, which is quite difficult to get somewhere in europe, for this we need joint efforts, and we really received support now and a promise to provide us with such equipment, at least help us in finding and purchasing such equipment that for us this is very important and also we continue to work with the european commission on joint procurement and the creation of this platform for joint gas procurement for ukraine will also be part of this process and we hope that they will be used to preserve this gas

of our ukrainian underground storage, and we will already be integrated into the european gas system, in principle, into the gas market, you repeated the thesis several times that ukraine needs help specifically in the equipment and it is very difficult . it is generally russian, well , the ukrainian electric power system was part of the soviet system, and we have very specific equipment that is not used in the european union, precisely for the purpose of searching for equipment which can be used and our efforts are now directed, such equipment is manufactured, for example, by south korea, but its production has been going on for some time, we already want to get it now. and for this we also need political influence and support and

help in logistics for the delivery of this equipment. before electricity export to europe i understand that ukraine has its own problems with electricity but but nevertheless what does this mean for europe or is it critical ukraine did not supply very much for them we just started this process and we tested our system, we tested how we can interact with the european system in training and showed ourselves from the best side as a reliable supplier. we hope that despite everything that is happening now, the volumes that we will be able to sell in the future to the european union will be increased and that we will become one of the traders there for a decent europe and eastern europe is in great need

of additional volumes of electricity, but for now we really need to solve the problems that have arisen after this terror carried out by the russian federation on our civilian objects of the electrical infrastructure. and one more question. please tell me if the eu is ready for that. now you in brussels may be talking about it, even if not on camera, before the scenario when russia will strike. her blows on the energy infrastructure of europe well, how was it with the south stream, something was blown up there, there is allegedly no evidence that it is russia, but for some reason everyone points to russia well, not only with the northern streams, i was also on er, hm on a certain section of the railway in germany, and this also connects with russia. in fact, a communication from the european commission regarding joint actions

for the protection of critical infrastructure has now been released, and in this communication, two european commissioners emphasize the need for joint actions and joint countermeasures precisely to the threats that arise from by the russian federation of saatzh, they are developing measures that we need to protect our critical infrastructure from outside interference. indeed , this is a new problem for them. they are only starting work on protecting this critical infrastructure infrastructure, but they are very serious about it and understand the whole threat posed by russia . thank you very much for joining our broadcast. olena dzerkal, ambassador extraordinary and plenipotentiary, advisor to the ministry of energy of ukraine, was on radio svoboda. in three weeks, the citizens of the czech republic threw in money and collected 30 million czech crowns. more than one million euros and purchased

a t-72 tank for the ukrainian army, the collection was organized by the czech company yablo tron, the head of which was the head of which helped from the beginning of the full-scale invasion ukrainian refugees and rallied around him czech businessmen or those who helped ukraine, this story will be told in more detail by serhii stetsenko . greetings, welcome to our company, with the delivery man, we meet in his small office, which is 100 km from prague. he is the owner of one of europe's leading alarm manufacturing companies. we produce security systems and these are the devices for the smart home around the world, but in recent months i have been devoting more time to helping ukraine as soon as russia invaded ukraine on a full scale dalibor decided to sever all business ties with the aggressor country for me personally and for many czechs. it was terrible
