in general, what are the tasks that the central government is currently setting before the local authorities in the rivne region, as well as the city of rivne and the region. what is the most important thing right now? the citizens of rivne, they are very brave and strong, all of them took a responsible and understanding approach to what happened within the city and region and the inconvenience that everyone experienced, however objectively, everyone understood that this was the result of a good blow, the enemy, the russians, are attacking systematically , but we have to hold on and we will hold on, the utility services are all working in enhanced mode, and the energy workers do not leave their workplaces almost 24 hours a day, they go around connecting to everyone. thank you

, everyone they are working on the matter, mr. artem, the proximity to the borders with belarus is somehow now felt . that in belarus there is a certain movement of russian enemy equipment and e. for now, there is an awareness that their contingent there is not enough for any movements in our direction. but at the same time, we must constantly monitor the situation in the rivne region with preparations for a possible offensive again from belarus in rivne region is a land of partisan glory, and therefore we are always ready for any offensive if it takes place on the tasks of the military administration . well, i think that it is necessary to ask them the tasks that are under the responsibility of the local authorities this is the provision and security of the citizens within the city,

the provision of the urgent needs of the citizens, they are all fulfilled somehow, so you mentioned the heating season yesterday in kyiv, by the way, already in private houses, in private and high-rise buildings , they have already started to provide heat, what is the situation in rivne in in terms of heat and i know that there were certain disagreements in the positions of the central government and the local government, who will pay the difference for this uh-uh difference in the price of gas that will be burned by the enterprise and teplokomunenergo from the fixed price for the population and to the real price, who will pay the difference, whether it will be from local budgets, or from the central budget, some kind of subsidies or something. what is the situation on the ground directly in rivne? this is in compliance with the current legislation, the heating season begins after

the average daily temperature drops below 8°c for three days. if we fix this temperature during in three days, then the mayor will quickly make a decision on the start of the heating season , as of now the temperature has not been lower than 8° for three days, we will expect weather conditions under which the legislation must be followed we will start the heating season then, in principle , if the weather allows us, it will allow to save e-e use of gas is, in this case, regarding compensation, according to our information and based on the technical council held by the selector of selector meetings from e-e oblast government with the central government, the compensation will be carried out from the center, let's say yes, that is, not not from local budgets, according to our information, as of

now, not according to yours . of information central water thank you thank you artem hanushchak, the deputy mayor of rivne was in touch with us well, the head of the pentagonologist to austin talked with the british defense minister ben in a voice about transport, atlantic cooperation, one of the priorities was, of course, aid to ukraine, i called the british minister of defense ivan golos to confirm our defense relations and the importance of transatlantic cooperation, today's call was a continuation of our discussion in the pentagon last week, which covered a wide range of common priorities in the field of defense and security including ukraine today i spoke on the phone with the minister of defense of russia sergei shoigu, who invited me to call again, i declined any reason for russian escalation and

confirmed the value of continuing communication against the background of russia's illegal and unjustified war against ukraine wrote to the pentagon about his communication with sergei shoigu well, an interesting story happened with mr. pavlo lebedi, he is also pasha mercedes , the abbot of the kyiv-pechersk lavra he was leaving for the border for rest returned through bukovyna through chernivtsi and there met with representatives of the local territorial defense, says dmytro chernyshov, who witnessed the situation, reports that the drummer was brought in the evening acquaintances at the checkpoint near chernivtsi in warm clothes, just at this time the military police stopped the motorcade, the whole motorcade was going on vacation, the abbot of the pechersk lavra of metropolitan pavlo in the people of pasha mercedes, the guys from the military police asked him the bedclothes and asked him a simple question: whose crimea is what, the metropolitan of the ukrainian church, well, in quotation marks the ukrainian church could not give a concrete answer, only said that the people who

live in crimea were told by an eyewitness . now the invaders have been driven there by the logic of pasha mercedes. crimea is clearly not ukrainian. shame on such citizens of ukraine, noted the witness of the conversation with pavel, the abbot of the kiev-pechersk lavra , currently leased from the ukrainian state by the russian patriarchate. of the regional council, mr. oleksandr, we congratulate you, glory to ukraine, we are extremely interested in the operational situation in the kherson region, and we understand that military issues are not exactly your competence but still, it is possible that you have outlined at least the trend so uh what is the situation in kherson oblast now along the demarcation line along the front line yes well if you say what is the situation in general in the city and

in the region where it can be said that uh the occupiers are the maximum today they are calculating they are taking them out how to say tonight they have already stolen the monument to oleksandr figurov who was there in the very center of the city where is there any information about the fact that they are dismantling the monument that's why it's shocking, you know, i can't say it's good or not bad when they are stealing - this is very bad, but i am sure that ukraine already needs new heroes today and for whom monuments will be erected, monuments will be built, if we say in military terms . eh, but eh, our troops continue to move after there is information that two more

settlements were liberated in the berislav district of the kherson region, so even again, you are right in saying that this is not my parish, i just wanted to the only thing is to express our respect to the armed forces of ukraine and say that they are doing their job perfectly, we will say what sort of flights are carried out in the cities of the concentration of the occupiers, tonight was nova kakhovka again and it detonated for a very long time, so i am sure of that you know , this is a clear hit, er, those are the days when those crossings were destroyed, which they are trying to install today in order to take out the equipment, er, well, i think everyone has seen the pictures of them, even the fire trucks that were er, in they took them to kherson in the regional center on a bumper and a ship. please tell me, mr.

oleksandr. well, we understand that any opportunity to cross the dnipro is under fire control of the armed forces of ukraine. what are they transferring and in what volumes are they transferring their personnel? what does this personnel look like? are they people in uniform or are they possibly disguised as civilians? if we talk about the crossing, they already exist. here, kherson is a river city, you know, and we have a very good plan of facilities, which are not. well, let's not call it a stationary ferry, it's some kind of steamboats - it's some kind of towers, some boats , or boats, which can be used to transport people there in the first place it's time to say that people can cross the river again, saying from the left bank to the right, and on the right, it's all

those crossings that are being installed today by the occupiers there, we know that in the area of ​​the antoniv bridge, they disguise it under the bridge, they they installed the so-called zbarazh crossing there, which they stole from various enterprises in kherson , they used it for us, i repeat, the armed forces are constantly destroying and they are constantly destroying them, but we will say that in the port of the brave , they are singing songs, you know, they are dying, but they continue to move forward today in kherson well, according to the information received from local residents , there are much fewer military personnel today, at least you know the military personnel who were there, they are representatives there, yes the guards of the fsb and other services, they all left . today, the military remained who appeared not

so long ago. you can see that they are not very oriented in the situation that is there. they were brought in like that in order to er, well, put up some resistance there . well, not to say that they knew without a fight, but considering that they have died out of everything from stores, they are to date. well, i will tell you that they are already dismantling mobile communication tractors even our towers that stood and that they stole once , er, well, let's say they connected to their operators so arbitrarily, today they even try to prepare them, so you know how to say that they will resist like that, well, combative well, for example. but the region, well, you know that and some kind of tricks. well, for sure, tricks will probably be used by oleksandr prokakhov hpp and about the kakhov

reservoir, if the water level in the kakhov reservoir decreases, the issue of safety will arise of the zaporizhzhia npp, the director of the institute of water problems and land reclamation in ukraine said, according to the director of this institute, his name is mykhailo yatsyuk , and the likelihood of the destruction of the kakhova hpp is high for the russians. the zaporizhia nuclear power plant is a separate issue, and they are cooling the kakhova reservoir with water. puts the issue of nuclear power plant safety and the threat of nuclear accidents in the first place. well, mykhailo yatsyuk also added that the water level in the kakhov reservoir is tied to the north crimean canal what is happening now at the kakhovsky dam at the kakhovsky hydroelectric power station, what is

the probability of an undermining? hpp well, if you say, you know, if you talk about the kakhovka hpp in general, it was built precisely in order to ensure the supply of water to the crimea, and if you say correctly, it feeds the north crimean canal that exists today. today, the occupiers once again released water into the crimea, if there is no dam on this channel, there will not be enough electricity. because all the electricity that is produced today in kakhovsky, father, it is necessary to turn the turbine of the main pumping station of the kakhovsky district of kakhovsky. and this of the north crimean canal ugh, this is the first thing they know, for the first time you know that they will do the worst to themselves. they will not have water again in crimea, as long as it will be occupied there by russian troops. well, secondly, really

e-e, the kakhov platinum, it closes the so-called kakhov sea, and it’s a whole cascade, we have the kakhov sea, the kyiv kamianets reservoir, which is covered by dams there - these are artificial e- water reservoirs that were formed in order to fulfill some economic goals and well, i don't know how the cooling of the nuclear power plant, but it carries itself today, let's say biology, yes, it's not the health of the dnipro . well, let's say this, so we will say it is threatened because kherson is located on the right bank of the right bank of the dnieper. it is high enough, so there will be flooding, but you know such natural

disasters that can occur there, it will not happen for the regional center. but there is a city - it is olezhki. well, let's say the left bank, e.e., kherson region, which is located in the lowlands. and indeed, for these settlements , this is a very big threat, and considering that today the occupiers will conditionally evacuate our residents e.e. from kherson, now we can to see this is really such a catastrophe that can affect people’s lives. well, i will say that this is all their defense, let’s say the lines that they are building today, they are also under threat of being demolished by water. crimea, are they now pulling personnel and equipment from the temporarily occupied peninsula into the kherson region? well, you know, migration, it

always exists. replaced today there is a movement from the regional center towards the city of genichesk because they are setting up a central, let's say, office of the occupying power there today, so i am sure that this movement exists, it exists constantly, but let's say it is no longer as active as it was at the beginning or how was it when the antonov bridge was destroyed for the first time, so do not underestimate the possibilities of movement there, the content of the crimea cannot be said, but you know this, it is already the only point that affects something there today. well, let's not do the same thank you oleksandr samoilenko, the head of the kherson regional council was in touch with us about the situation in the south of our country, and we are in touch now with traditions serhiy zgurets, director of the

information consultancy of the new company defenses express mr. serhiy good morning, congratulations glory to ukraine glory to the heroes good morning, mr. serhiy, british intelligence reports that the ukrainian air defense forces are increasingly successfully shooting down the iranian-made kamikaze shaket drones, which russia began to compensate for the lack of own missiles, this is stated in the review of the british ministry of defense on the war in ukraine for today, it is noted that russia continues to use iranian uavs on targets throughout ukraine, and ukraine is more successful in fighting them, they officially claim that it is possible to neutralize up to 85% of all launched kamikaze drones how do you assess the change in dynamics and initiative on the battlefield with the arrival in ukraine of these massive attacks by martyrs 136, please, the american free complex is criminally used for strikes on civilian infrastructure, they do not affect the

situation on the front line. but together with the measures taken by our air defenses, they are quite effective, but we understand that we are thus diverting significant efforts to fight against these general drones, and therefore i think that on the one hand, our air defense and aviation with a missile complex and operational groups that are equipped with portable systems, according to which complexes they have gained some experience , developed algorithms that reach those indicators of 70% in general, if i am not mistaken, already shot down by the 240th is a fraud, 36 are used by the russian side, so the dynamics from the point of view of anti-aircraft defense are positive, but sometimes we spend on 7 cheap e-e iranian drones with inter-chain e-e guided missiles, which we need in principle to destroy more serious targets and i think that now the next step of our actions is to

get systems that are less cheap in terms of cost-effectiveness in the fight against these iranian drones, that is, i saw a video where a beech knocks down chess 136 probably it's not quite well relative to the price of launching one drone there and the work of calculating the drone and this core, which costs there, i don’t even know how much there is, $300, for example, or $400, the whole estimate is that the cost of this strike drone is from 20 to 50 thousand dollars, but here when i speak efficiency, cost, there is one more indicator here, if we potentially assume that this drone flying at the object of destruction will cause serious consequences in the energy supply or will cause numerous victims there among the civilian population, then the actual spending of the rocket from this complex of letters, it is justified because we are talking about an integral indicator of losses. i think

that this is exactly the approach that our air defense is guided by today, and on the other hand, this means that the ministry of defense there, the political leadership should intensify measures for the arrival of other means of air defense in the country, what about zelenskyi and kuleba ugu and others are saying, in this way, to somehow compensate for these measures of struggle, today there is a publication of the new york time that we seem to have received from e-e israel certain information about the fight against those drones but i think that this is not really not quite true because it is actually a repetition of information that was already a few days ago and just before ro - received where and anti-aircraft complexes and information so far i am quite limited and let's try to outline the situation on our fronts from official data, it is clear that it is very difficult. if we talk about the east in the area of ​​bakhmut of bakhmut and

soledar . but yesterday there was information that the enemy managed to be somewhat pushed back in the area of ​​about 2 km, and we are talking about one of the important enterprises that they tried to take in that area for a long time, they pulled everything they could pull there. and they are losing their positions there, we understand that the situation can be very dynamic, well, that is, entire settlements can change from hand to hand. what can we say about individual enterprises, however, it is no less tendentious that we are currently talking about the situation in donetsk region around bakhmut, i think that this is not a more difficult direction, because the enemy still tries to get to the outskirts of the city and gain a foothold there, but he does not succeed, but still there is an advantage of the enemy, you

can say in the artillery, and these are the advantages of the artillerymen, all the same affects this pressing tactic , which was previously organized along other areas of the front where the enemy was able to achieve certain successes, so i think that control over bakhmut remains an important priority today, because this area of ​​bakhmut is actually solidar vona extremely important from the point of view of stopping the further advance of the enemy and i think that now the general staff should still add more artillery and more forces to this area although i understand that now our main forces are thrown directly into the area and eh eh eh uh, the north, uh, the zone of the estuary, and just like that, on kherson or something else, our far-off battleships bakhmut are working

there. i will repeat well, there is a difficult area that needs constant attention in the lyman direction, there is also information from military enemies, they are even trying to resort to counter-attacks, so far , thanks to god, and the avdiivka branch, attempts to storm avdiivka have not had any success . and if we talk about the south, then the other day, the general staff basically announced that there are strategically important successes in the boryslav area, and mr. serhiy would like to understand what this means. kherson, because this information is from yesterday, what you are saying is the statement of oleksiy gromov for the

head of the operational department. he said this after a long pause regarding what is actually happening on the right bank of kherson in the direction of boryslav from the left david-ford pond, he actually has with the aim of cutting off the russian group located on the right bank, but the enemy has concentrated really significant forces there, and despite the talk that the enemy is beginning to abandon law and order, i am trying to find such cardinal confirmations, so far it is difficult. the impression is that the enemy is still trying to keep kherson, providing complete evacuation and deportation of the population, and in this way still creating the conditions for their further military operations on the right bank on this bridgehead. so i think that it is necessary to gather now provide all the information and look at the dynamics on the right bank, which may not be the same, let's say that the enemy wants to

leave this place, perhaps the dynamics will be completely opposite to the film. how do you assess from the point of view of a military expert, here are yesterday's telephone the communications of the minister of foreign affairs, the minister of defense, in particular, serhiy of russia, with his colleagues in britain, turkey, france, even the united states , during which he very actively told everyone, except the us minister of defense, that ukraine was preparing to detonate some dirty nuclear bomb in order to blame after the russian federation in this crime, the analysts of the institute for the study of war say that the purpose of this phone call i would say is to stop aid and what do you think is the purpose of the entire minister of defense me it seems that such comments are more logical to be announced to the minister of foreign affairs and not to the minister of defense about the preparation of some kind of nuclear provocation

. russia's attempts to accuse ukraine of preparing to use a potentially dirty bomb do not make any sense, it will in no way affect support for ukraine, and in fact they nullified this attempt by the russians to somehow translate the current the situation on the attempt of a new negotiation process between russia and other countries in order to start discussing the situation around ukraine outside the borders of ukraine if without ukraine itself, i think that this dynamic would not have had any success in principle at the

same time, the conversation about one bomb really is extremely strange, because in fact, until now, there has not been a single case of the use of the so-called dirty bomb in hostilities, and all this rhetoric of the russian federation is really directed precisely at home, after all, to initiate again some negotiations with the west, i think that this will not be successful and now the main thing will be left to the activation of the aid of the western countries and the usa to ukraine for military aid because in fact now it is very necessary, we talked partly about bakhmut and other areas, we really lack artillery and ammunition despite the significant amounts previously allocated to us in the form of military aid , our minister of foreign affairs dmytro kuleba spoke with the us secretary of state antoniv blinkina, we said that we agreed quote dispelling the wave of disinformation regarding the processing bomb, russia can look for a pretext for

operations under a false flag, that is, russia itself can prepare a similar operation using well, everything is already translated into, with diplomatic language, preparing an operation using a dirty nuclear bomb, a similar situation is possible, the development of events on the battlefield is actually i think that now they are getting the zaporizhzhya npp, and in fact, when we think about the experience there at the chernobyl station , the explosion at the chernobyl station was actually a manifestation of such an explosion of the so-called dirty bomb therefore, right now in the hands of the aggressor there is such a resource that they can use to carry out such a terrorist act, but already the awareness of the community and all of europe and the united states about what can be done to the enemy

is actually a certain safeguard and caution against such possible actions, it is known that these bilateral negotiations, which are going on in the second round, because there was a preliminary conversation, and here it was literally two days before that . only understands to put russia in a certain framework. i think that the topic of nuclear actions on both sides was almost raised during these negotiations and after that . for some reason, now there is a story about a dirty bomb that you think ukraine can do because we are right now at some such new stage in the accompaniment of this military hostilities where the inclusion of the leaders of the states is necessary, but for now this is a process of influencing russia, the minister of defense is involved so far and for the always very accurate analysis serhiy zgurets, the director of the information company defense-e-

press was in touch with us. well, literally in a few moments, there will be a nationwide moment of silence for all those who died in the russian-ukrainian war today, and the espresso tv channel will remember his colleague vasyl yavorsky, who died defending each of us. and we express our condolences to the family and friends. thank you for being with us and leaving a mark in the lives of each of us. the kingdom of god is the light of memory. let's remember all the military and civilian victims of this war. let's honor with a minute of silence the memory of the ukrainian military and peaceful citizens of ukraine who died in the war that was unleashed by russia
