in the whigs in time, too, ivan golubets at one time during the war there is a street of that name in sevastopol of ukraine with ivan golubets and the ship was named which maybe 50 years ivan golubets yes he dropped a land mine talking from the ship during the war it was really a heroism here is a sailor well, i just saw it there, it didn’t even impress us sailors, as they say, they also shoot down planes, helicopters, etc. discovered by one of the others, thank you very much for your comment oleg chubok , the spokesman of the ukrainian navy in 2010-17 was on radio liberty, thank you very much the european union strongly condemned today's missile strikes on kyiv and critical infrastructures in other cities russian

strategy of sowing fear will not work the eu will support ukraine as much as it will be needed for a certain head of the european council, charles michel well, the countries of the west, both the european union and the united states, condemned russia's decision to withdraw from the grain agreement. but this is more detailed than zoryana will tell us. stepanenko, correspondent of radio svoboda from brussels, live to zoryanno my greetings, what are the proposals at the event regarding the rescue of the grain initiative good day, well, in the european union, they are calling on russia to reconsider its decisions and accordingly return to the grain initiative, the process, in particular , was discussed today in the european commission, in fact, repeating yesterday's statement of the head of european diplomacy, who now with a visit on the other side of the continent, jose borets called the un secretary general to discuss the future fate of ukrainian grain and the people who need it it is necessary to coordinate actions based on the results of these victories at the un, they said that they are now in contact with the

russian side, or real wrote that russia should return to the grain agreement, and the eu, according to him, will play its role in the fight against the global food crisis in the spring, in particular, to save blocked ukrainian grain the european union has launched the so-called lines of solidarity, these are well-developed road, rail and sea routes that run across the border of ukraine with the eu, along which agricultural products were exported from may to at the end of october, more than 14 million e-e tons of grain left in this way, the european commission reported today. these lines are vital for the ukrainian economy and will become even more important in the future. we must work on improving the carrying capacity of these roads to make them more efficient and attractive on both sides in close cooperation with all state members and friends in ukraine, the grain agreement

effective since august allowed the export of more than nine million tons of food from ukraine and not to destroy the initiative, russia is calling on the truly russian countries of the world, this is great britain, the united states, and nato member states, respectively, a statement calling on russia to urgently restore the agreement was distributed on behalf of the entire alliance, through whose mediation, as you know, and agreed to the initiative, the president of turkey emphasized the importance of the grain corridor, adding, refraining from additional details that ankara will continue its efforts in this direction, the young crown machine itself , with the help of a joint mechanism that we have created in istanbul, we helped relatively reduce the food crisis by putting 9.3 million ukrainian grains into circulation around the world despite the fact that russia is hesitant about the grain agreement because moscow is not given the same opportunities turkey will continue its efforts to serve humanity but what about friends despite the departure of russia according to the agreement,

12 grain carriers left ukrainian ports today. in general, in the joint coordination center in istanbul, it was agreed to carry out inspections on 40 ships leaving ukraine from today. this is an agreement between ukraine, turkey and the un. the russian delegation says that one of the russian news agencies was informed about these plans by referring to its source in the coordination center, respectively, the russian source writes that the agreements on the movement of ships with grain through the humanitarian corridor without the participation of moscow do not oblige russia to do anything. meanwhile, i will say that the world the markets have already reacted to russia's withdrawal from the grain agreement, we can see that today, in particular, on the chicago commodity exchange, the price of wheat has increased by 6%, the price of corn by 2%. cool, thank you very much zoryana stepanenko live from brussels about the reaction of western countries, however, on the fact that russia withdrew from the grain initiative. thank you zoryan. well, and about how

the grain agreement can be implemented in the future in the conditions when the attack on the sevastopol bay took place and in the conditions when russia withdrew from this agreement, we will talk further. yevgenia gabra, analyst of the center , joins us studies of modern turkey good evening good evening greetings we have just listened to the turkish president, but i will tell you frankly that i did not understand anything from what erdogan said, maybe this is the art of his diplomacy to say so and maybe there were simply difficulties, i will quote the translation with your permission, he said despite the fact that russia is hesitating about the grain agreement because moscow is not given the same opportunities, turkey will continue its efforts to serve humanity . into ukrainian , because today i saw such translation options in our media that simply they often contradict each other, and this is also the problem of translation from diplomatic language to ordinary human language. the first thing to note is

to say that from the very beginning, by the way, it did not call for russia to be given the conditions for unblocking the export of russian grain fertilizers and ammonia, which russia has always insisted on, now turkey reminds that the export conditions for ukraine were created for russia by the united nations and in principle, the world was not given such conditions, they did not provide, they did not fulfill the alleged promises to russia, therefore it is necessary to correct it now, it is about the fact that of course there are no sanctions against russian or stolen ukrainian grain, they are presented as russian, but despite all that, there are the threat of secondary sanctions against those companies that will provide logistics therefore. many insurance companies or logistics companies there practice one thing or another, they simply do not want to deal with it, and russia still has problems with

exporting its grain. therefore, this is exactly the phrase that says that turkey will always, at least at the level of rhetoric of rhetoric to say that russia also needs help and a fair approach it should be based on the simultaneous export of ukrainian grain and russian grain as agreed at the same time turkey is acting very pragmatically, it is talking about the fact that, if necessary, it is ready to become the channel through which russian grain will go to world markets in order to save humanity from starvation. but of course, there is also the economic and pragmatic interest of turkey, which at the same time will keep grain from ukraine, they will take it to turkish ports. yes and from russia, the last moment is important, this does not mean that turkey is playing along with russia , because turkey is actually trying to preserve this grain initiative, this corridor that exists for e-e ukrainian now e-e grain for of ukrainian ships and accordingly continues the work of the

un turkey and ukraine in a tripartite format at least today tomorrow we will see how it goes and hold negotiations behind closed doors with the russian side in order to at least try to avoid provocation and send a message to putin that it is not in his interests to spoil the such a good success story of turkish diplomacy , which became a grain initiative well, actually, international political scientists say that erdogan is now almost the only politician and leader who putin well, not that he trusts, but at least he considers him to be at his level, but can you admit that, as many people now also assume, conditionally speaking, if these ships now leave the ports of odessa or the southern one and will move through the black sea, then russia simply because of the fact that this grain agreement can still exist without russia and without relatively russia has left or entered

this grain agreement, russia will simply start somehow er, well, shelling or detaining these ships, that is, whether or whether you allow such a scenario or still erdoğan is so authoritative for putin that putin will not allow himself to do that. well, this is not a question of authority, this is a question of real forces, and the more successful ukraine is, the weaker russia is, and the more it will be used by turkey, not in turkey until recently there was a myth of invincibility russia, despite the fact that the armed forces of turkey are powerful and the potential is great, but still there is always a fear of a direct conflict with russia , so i honestly do not believe in the scenario that russia will openly shell ukrainian ships within the corridor for which turkey allegedly vouched for or gave some security guarantees. no, i don't believe in those options. that

turkey can somehow accompany there with its naval forces, as political scientists are now urging, because it will not endanger its the fleet and threats of such an open conflict or confrontation with russia in turkey are still trying to avoid and are afraid, therefore, i think that what russia will do, russia can do, it is some kind of provocations starting from of the joint coordination center. how would andriy klimenko's briefing be today? yes, he was talking about how the russians used to send their letters to the center of the central e-e of this coordination center, saying that the ships would stop in order to simply disrupt the work of this corridor, they are such small scumbags they can do the second point - it is, of course, that during the operation of the corridor there may be some provocations where it will be difficult to prove that this is the work of the russians, that is, most likely there

will be some overlapping of parts of the black sea for shipping or some such moments are mediated that would disrupt the work of the corridor or attacks on the port infrastructure of odesa, for example, yes , but i do not think that it will be a direct attack on the ships themselves, because the interests of turkey are already involved here, and i do not think that now russia is in in that state and in that position when it can aspire to a direct confrontation with turkey, thank you very much for your comment yevgenia gabara, analyst of the center for the study of modern turkey, was on radio svoboda, a rally was held in the czech republic in support of in favor of ukraine and against populism and extremism, tens of thousands of people came to the main square of prague the day before. the organizers of the demonstration, and more precisely, the group millions of moments for democracy became the organizer of the demonstration. on the stage, posters were hung with the inscriptions

czech republic against fear and thank you ukraine for your courage . olena addressed the demonstrators via video link. zelenska urged not to forget about what is happening in ukraine, the goal of the rally was formulated by the organizers as the opposite of fear, meaning the fear planted by pro-russian forces which demand the czech government to stop providing support to ukraine and agree to vladimir putin's gas blackmail, our action today is against fear and in support of the democracy of the czech republic and ukraine, the demonstrations that took place here a few days ago testify to the fact that there is some kind of fifth column from russia that is preparing some kind of regime change, and we are concerned about it. that is why we came here to protest against it. it is interesting that this particular action, a fragment of which we showed you, took place two days after the coalition of far-right groups and the communist

the czech party of the czech republic also held its action in the center of prague. demonstrators spoke out against the government 's policy against the czech republic's membership in the eu and nato , and accordingly against supporting ukraine. to understand the mood in the czech republic, david stolik, an analyst at the european values ​​research center in prague , will help us with this. of our broadcast good evening, i will start with this sunday promotion in support of ukraine, including the one that took place. please tell me why there was a need to hold such promotions again. there is no connection to the anti-government protests in the czech republic. yes, there is this connection because since september there have been three large actions against the government and against its policy of support for ukraine, and therefore if other people had other citizens of the czech republic who support some people simply decided to call such an action to show that, after all,

more of society supports ukraine. that these people who have not been on the streets since september, they do not represent the position of the country and they do not have what we should stand for, in which we are chesny society, well, now we will talk about the anti-government actions that the citizens of the czech republic participated in. it seems that there have already been three of them since the beginning of september. i just wanted to briefly ask what we know now about the consensus in czech society. maybe there is some fresh sociology about that. what is the support for ukraine? what is the attitude towards ukrainian refugees in the czech republic? and so on. polls show that almost 60-65% of czechs support ukraine. they have a positive attitude towards ukrainian citizens who treat us came ready to provide assistance, and more than half of the population supports the government in terms of how we supply, for example, weapons and what kind of humanitarian

aid the czech government provides. so, i think these numbers have not changed significantly, and even there are 10% of people who oppose support ukraine is opposed to providing weapons, and these 10% back down in favor of, for example, starting direct negotiations with russia regarding the supply of gas. that is, this 10%, let's say that these somewhere between 60 and 65% of citizens who can be said to fully support ukraine and who understand the need to support the country and provided well, and now i also wanted to talk to you about these anti-government activists, and yes, i already said that at the beginning of september there were three of them and they were also quite numerous, but two days earlier it happened on friday in the center of prague the media reported about 70,100,000 people and they said that the czech republic should be neutral militarily, that the czech government should conclude direct contracts with russia for

the supply of gas, please tell me which part of society the eyes reflect the pro-protest process, what do we know about these people, and what are the anti-government protests in the country ? but here, if they didn't ask about competing with numbers, and who goes out on the streets, let's say on friday, these are people who came to prague, for example, from depressed regions, that is, from border regions, where there is now a problem with work and a problem with wages these are people who, well, now really have problems paying bills for electricity, gas, water, etc. for all these communal services, and for example, on friday, i was traveling by train from these northern regions, and

many such people were sent to my compartment as they were traveling to this protest. when they started talking about their own problems that they have, it will be very difficult to get through this winter, because it depends on money and income, and there is a big problem here that these are people, as they are not immediately, if directly against ukraine, unfortunately, they come to protest as well as organize in these extremists can be called that, because it is actually an exterior, political people who have their own political agenda, that is, they call people to a protest against the increase in energy prices. but at the same time, at these protests, these same organizers declare that the czech republic must be warm with the eu should stop supporting ukraine, should conduct direct negotiations with putin, and these people are there at these protests, but for example, they may not think like that, that is, i also mentioned yesterday at this process

that we need to go to a meeting in this of such a gray mass, it is somewhere again somewhere on the order of 20-25% of desalination, which now feels a certain fear, a certain threat from this, we need to take them out of the hands of these e-e disinformers, these extremists, so that they cover themselves by name, these organizers represent to everyone magical political parties that are not even are represented in the parliament. that is, these are really uh, marginal extremists. how are you? yes, on the left side, they are communists. well, maximalists and crypto-fascists. and the communists and our viewers. the communist party is not banned in the czech republic. they are can go out and organize such protests. yes, it is not prohibited. but last year, exactly a year ago in october, it was the first time that communists were not elected to the czech parliament, in which they had been present since 1989. that is, it also

shows how marginal it is already on a political force that has the support of somewhere around 1.5-2% of the population and it really is such a party that well, yes, you are a generation and this generation comes from us and that is why it really is a party well, there is no point in banning it now because it is so marginal that well called it one, i would say even more against there were democrats, there are certain ones, let's say, the defenders, if such a party was themselves, that is, they are not banned, but i see, i think even you have a small handful of such people with red flags on the screen right now, and they go to these protests and are covered by these people who are really unhappy and lost, who think that now they are losing and that they have to pay for all the troubles of the world, and these are the people who really want to hear a black and white vision of the world. these different populists will take advantage, we are different here, the rallies are shown specifically, probably on

october 28, an anti-government protest, and by the way, i have to say that you corrected me about the number of protesters, well, ukrainian news agencies report that it is exactly 70-100 thousand, maybe it was the difficulties of translating the czech language i also wanted to ask you, as a person who observes these social and political processes in the czech republic, do you see signs that these anti-government protests are directly or indirectly behind forces connected with the kremlin or maybe they receive some money from the kremlin there to hold these actions , maybe not money, maybe something else, i don't know, well, there are definitely people who defend and promote pro-russian kremlin narratives, and these are people who don't do it the first day many of them came to light and even during the migration crisis in 2015 and when they were against e-e migration from islamic countries, that is, they

were islam-phobes, then the same people turned from animals to e-e into this anti-covid anti- vaxxer movement movement and were used again then all these different russian narratives without information and now they are simply speaking against ukraine , speaking in favor of these agreements with russia and this can already be said to everyone very well known people who are on the political scene and well there are somewhere there, well at my moment five or six years and eh it is known that they have certain debts, but somehow they will be able to raise money to organize all these various protests, and there are many such unconfirmed suspicions, i suspect that they really have some connection with the pro-russian russian scene, that is, i there are definitely russian people, what kind of money is going there now, well, someone has to prove, probably, uh, our uh, services, what valuable issues are dealt with, it is also known

that the quality of these people, the organizers, very often went to the russian embassy for various receptions for various events, and when we here in the czech republic, they reduced the number of diplomatic personnel of the russian embassy, ​​so this scene is an anti-system pharmacy, and then anti-covid, it really became more discreet and quiet, but now again we see a certain rise, eh. but again, the first such argument like this it is against the government, against the percentage of energy prices, it is not against it is not primarily against ukraine, thank you very much for the window into the czech republic, yes, from the table, the analyst is still in the center, european values ​​in prague, we talked about the mood in czech society, thank you, and so on. we will tell you the story of two people valentina and yevhen strutynskyi, as part of the 36th marine brigade, together defended mariupol after a full-scale

russian offensive . for more than six months they knew nothing about each other and only at the end of september valentina was released from captivity and literally last saturday her husband returned from captivity. anzhelika rudenko will tell this story. i remember this moment when my husband and i said goodbye, i already thought that i won't see him, it was such a farewell, well, we wo n't see each other again because we were traveling in different columns, we made this decision just in case. maybe one of us will survive. the infantry together defended mariupol after a full-scale russian offensive, they fought to the last and a decision was made to go to the breakthrough of the brigade, his column went to load, his unit,

i stayed and the movement of the column began little by little, cars began to come out, a serious artillery shelling began, many people died there, i already thought, i no longer knew what was she thinking, maybe my husband also died, they were sitting in such a bunker, and here he enters this bunker. my husband is coming back, it was. i don’t know how he came down from heaven and that’s all. and we then agreed we will not say goodbye again, we will be together, however, the russian captivity again separated the spouses of the marines, a certain woman and her husband sat and talked , she already took us to er, not on the second day. during captivity, valentina was held in three different russian prisons, the woman did not know where her husband was, we all sat in a circle, we prayed, and without that, we prayed, and you constantly worry about your husband in these thoughts. where is that husband, having spent close to

six months. one day, valentina was told by the duty officer to assemble, she was in the belgorod women's colony, and so we drove and drove and drove until we reached an airfield. well, i already understood that we were driving along the airfield, the plates were knocking under the bottom and we understood that they brought us to the airfield , they probably took us somewhere to judge, i'm cunning, i raise my eyes ever so slightly and look ah, belarusian cars so we're in belarus if we're in belarus so we're somewhere not far from my house and tears are already starting to flow in my eyes because this just such impressions that those are just, well, i can't describe them now, that just tore me apart from the middle. i was just waiting for this border. on september 21, valentina strutynska returned to ukraine, she was on the list of 215 freed ukrainian prisoners , and when we could, oh, we already arrived and they told us,

girls, get out. they were already there. our ukrainians, our guys, brutalized us. we go through the lists here. the banner is glory to ukraine. glory to the heroes. everything here just got carried away. i constantly listened to all the surnames because according to the surnames of all of us i didn't hear his last name. i understood that there was no man on this exchange. glory to ukraine , 52 more ukrainian prisoners were released, among them valentina 's husband yevhen strutynskyi. i'm in the forest picking mushrooms, i'm not in contact and some unknown number is calling me and

only the words hello ladybug i'm in such a stupor i'm thinking who is calling me ladybug i'm still thinking i 'll show yes it's me and already on october 31st they for the first time saw each other for six months, this story was told by anzhelika rudenko. well, we will show you what the destroyed, destroyed city of mariupol looks like. no comments. look, and you know that we are not there. such walls fell from the apartment. the ceilings hurt. a three-room apartment is all i have. i stayed

in one. walk with this on the steps, so all over me, because everything is burning at home.
