putin yugensev is what russia is doing and this. you understand that it must be stopped once and for all. just cut off these hands and so that they don't do such evil, these bloody russian hands. we will talk about this because chechnya actually has a lot of experience in fighting against russia. and has a great understanding of what russia is, they didn’t taste it yesterday, and in the first war, the chechens attacked the chechen war. we also know it in principle, now we are studying it in detail. for your attention, i offer a news release from my colleagues from the ukrainian editorial office of bbc news. good evening. we are from ukraine. i congratulate you on bbc news ukraine. today is the 257th day since the beginning of the russian invasion of

ukraine. believe in victory bbc report one and a half thousand new graves were discovered in mariupol special material of bbc correspondents legendary rolls-royce freddie mercury sold at the auction sot-bis how much was invaded and on what will the received funds go to, our exclusive report air defense systems have arrived in ukraine, self-guided medium-range missiles for hitting air targets aspids this was announced by the minister of defense of ukraine oleksiy reznikov , he thanked the us for the help of spain and norway, these means will help ukraine to defend itself against the attack of

russian missiles and drones earlier, president volodymyr zelenskyi already stated that ukraine received sams anti-aircraft missile systems from the united states, but later his press secretary clarified that it was only a matter of consent to the supply of samz systems, this is a mobile anti-aircraft defense system, anti-aircraft missiles were developed in the 1990s by norwegian and american companies, they can be used against cruise missiles, drones , airplanes and helicopters, the range of shots , depending on the missiles used, can be from 20 to 180 km the height of the damage is up to 21 km, and the current help from the west may not be enough. ukraine needs more air defense equipment , this is stated in a new report of the british of the royal institute of defense research, according to experts, the ukrainian military is in danger of being left without air defense systems that help

repel russian attacks. in the air, as it was in syria, for example, where the rebels had no air force at all, when russia invaded ukraine on february 24, it had more than 300 combat aircraft much more than there was in ukraine. however, russian planes and russian pilots were afraid to fly far from the front line so that they would not be shot down by the ukrainian air defense forces. the report emphasized the reason why russia failed to bomb ukrainian territory as widely as it was in syria. in ukraine of anti-aircraft weapons, but now they are running out because, since the end of september, the russians have increased the bombing of civilian targets of slime only with the use

of combat aircraft and rather winged and ballistic missiles with which the cheap shachet 136 drones of iranian production were added, they are not very powerful, but many of them reach their targets and hit energy and water supply facilities, therefore the report warns that if the west does not support and increase the supply of air defense ammunition to ukraine, ukrainian cities are threatened by a new wave of airstrikes more destructive than before, even more, the report even says that the time has come for the west to provide ukraine with modern combat aircraft , i don’t think they have gone for it, but the report insists look already, but the report insists look at the weapons already provided to ukraine by gymors and other high-precision weapons, this is not, it will not constitute a great leap compared to what we have now, but the kremlin will consider such an initiative hostile, and nato is careful not to allow

further escalation as skeletons we will discuss the conflict anymore isovery and the topic of military support with the director of the program of security studies of the council of foreign policy ukrainian prisma hanna shelest ms. hanna i welcome you on the air i wanted to start with the report of the royal institute of defense research, which was just discussed . the british expert says that ukraine urgently needs ppp systems to protect the energy infrastructure and to attack iranian drones. does the west really not have time to provide here? most of our requests still related to military objectives and what is more to the east of the country. that is, we are talking about the kharkiv mykolaiv region in the first place or kyiv, that is, those objects of this city of this town that were most subject to shelling by the

russian federation. in the last three weeks, we saw that they were very seriously reactivated on targets in western ukraine, and on those objects that before that . what critical infrastructure did they have a certain security or security system there, but not from such massive strikes that the russian federation is now trying to deliver, and therefore if we imagine the territory of ukraine, of course it is impossible, it is not another five provisions that could ensure the safety of such objects. well , i want to talk about the security of the russians in the general intelligence department of ukraine. the ministry of defense of ukraine said that russia's military stockpile is being stockpiled. it seems that russia has already used about 80% of its modern missiles. to what extent is this true, or can there be better indications here? means of anti-aircraft anti-missile defense and we really hear about various calculations and how much russia

has already used and about the fact that they are not able to produce in the same amount as before, namely the latest high-precision so-called missiles, this is due to the fact that more than 50% of their components were of western production, but this does not mean that ukraine can relax, and there were even those 120, for example, hummingbirds, which we still hear about, this is quite a large number, but the russian federation first of all, he finds alternative factories, sometimes variations on how to produce at least a few a-and we already see how, for example, chips from refrigerators are used for rockets. that is, they will try to somehow replace these components parts, secondly. they began to rework or update and modernize certain a-a other types of missiles , for example, anti-drop missiles, of which they had a lot, and they have been using them for several months, and against cities, for example, against mykolaiv, that is, stocks. unfortunately

, they are still crazy in the russian federation they are not so accurate, which, unfortunately, is even worse for us, because they are not aimed at objects and critical infrastructure, but very often hit civilian objects, and the russian federation is now massively looking for alternatives in iran in the north korea is what we hear, but we know from our fellow diplomats in third countries that russian diplomats are now actively looking in the countries of africa and asia, where did they previously sell their weapons, and how could they be bought back? well, if you are talking about partners of the so-called russians have been talking like this lately, the iranian trail in the war can be traced more clearly, but at first iran denied its support for the kremlin, and then they still admitted that kamikaze drones were supplied to russia, although they say it was a few years ago months before the start of russia's invasion of ukraine, now there is still information about the supply of

ballistic missiles, what is tehran doing helping the russians in such a semi-public way, well, we don't have data in the report right now, but there are a few things that we can imagine, and the two biggest - these are personal guarantees to the current leader or the top brass in iran because let's remember all these protests that have been taking place there in the last month, and therefore certain personal guarantees of security and the preservation of one's own regime are what could ask in tehran well, the second thing is the iranian nuclear program and russia has been cooperating for a long time since the construction of the bosch nuclear power plant and as we know that this cooperation was not limited to peaceful atoms, accordingly now they can ask for some technologies or help in the production of nuclear weapons effectively not effectively , this is a separate topic for discussion, but these are the spheres. this is where most likely russia had leverage or,

let's say, arguments for persuading the official tehran. thank you for the conversation, i was in touch director of the security studies program ukrainian prisma anna shelest thank you more than 1,500 new graves were discovered in mariupol this is evidenced by satellite images of maksar according to the ukrainian authorities during the fighting in the city at least 25,000 people died, 5-7 thousand of them died under the rubble as a result of the bombing of buildings the bbc collected the stories of survivors about the loss and pain of suicide attempts and life under shelling, they told the correspondence of hillary anderson, we warn you that the following footage may shock artem saw what the children should not see he was in the mariupol drama theater during the russian shelling. his two-year-old sister was under the rubble and nastya

was silent and what are we doing stupidly, how are you supposed to perceive all this horror when you are only six years old ? shelling, now there is devastation all spring, the city was under siege, completely cut off from the rest of the world for 6 months, how do we communicate with people who survived the horrors of the war, entire apartment buildings burned down to a total of about 90% of destroyed buildings in mariupol were someone's house according to official estimates of ukrainian officials, between five and seven thousand people died under the rubble before the war olga worked as an accountant , she lived with her husband valery, she liked to dance one night in march, she slept in the

basement valery and her parents were on sorry, when a russian cannon hit their house from someone, this is all the voice of olya's husband. help me dig me out. my legs were half buried. i couldn't. i could n't even move for some time. i heard the sound of crushed fish and that's it, and he fell silent at dawn. olga, all that was trapped, i didn't want to live at that moment. so, to speed up the process, i found a sharp stone and did this. i lost a lot of blood. well, some time passed and i saw that the blood was drilling and at this moment i thought about that if it is up and this did not

give me to take a lot of it for it for it to what i need to do after 8 hours under the wreckage the only survivor that night she had a descent for more than two months, women, children and even pregnant women tried to survive during constant russian shelling, this is the mariupol maternity hospital and this photo is one of the most disturbing photos of the war, this girl's name was iryna, she worked as a manager of a clothing store, and in three days she was due to give birth, oksana was trying save her life the

child was without signs of life nothing terrible life did not see it just how we packed a young woman in a black bag there were more people here than in any other european city since the second world war these are their graves, the war also took artem's grandmother, my grandmother. i always sat on a horse and looked at the clouds.

she loves the head, so i need to buy a plane. where can i open the glass and fake my grandmother? no one chose from blackouts. this is a consequence of the destruction of the energy infrastructure after the drone missile attacks. the company reported that there will also be emergency emergency blackouts in certain areas. it is necessary to to avoid shortages and to prevent overloading of the high-voltage infrastructure, president volodymyr zelenskyi said in his evening address that as of sunday evening, more than 4.5 million consumers were disconnected from the electricity supply in ukraine,

mainly in kyiv and the kyiv region . infrastructure, the president added, it also needed iranian missiles, at the same time, the mayor of kyiv vitaliy klitschko announced that the authorities of the capital is ready for various scenarios of developments klitschko called on the people of kyiv to stock up on drinking and technical water, food, to have autonomous chargers and warm things, he did not rule out the lack of electricity, water and heat in the capital at the same time in the event of new russian attacks, meanwhile, people are preparing for a severe winter all over ukraine and as the bbc correspondent in ukraine, james waterhouse, reports, difficult living conditions only strengthen the will of ukrainians to resist aggression in the dark, a flashlight paves the way, light has become scarce, life has become difficult if

this family has electricity at home, that's all than for a couple of hours, sometimes the lights are turned off according to the schedule - no, the hive is 12 years old, but she perfectly understands who is behind it. they think that ukraine is weaker and it will soon die, and because of this, because of the fact that the lights are turned off, moscow is trying to pressure where it cannot reach, the fact that it does not work is clear to everyone , russian strikes during the past month destroyed, as reported, a third of the country's power plants, these attacks do not affect the battlefield, but they force places like this kindergarten to live a new life

according to the rules, a new generator from poland, the newest toy, some children have learning difficulties, and power outages often coincide with air raid sirens. i believe that today, if they come, they will kill us, just kill us , because we are ukrainians and we will stand to the last. russia wants to hit morale spirit of ukraine before the beginning of the long winter, where we were, we have not yet met a single person who would tell us because of these power outages, he wants the war to end tomorrow, history also plays its part role ukrainians have always faced threats to their existence survival has become a key to the identity of the people in the light of candles and flashlights from the phone there is always a place for a dance teacher yana says she is not going to stop dancing because it is really what

helps this war has touched and literally interrupted everything even though where are you were if you were in ukraine , he and ukraine became an obstacle to progress against climate change, boris johnson thinks so, the former british prime minister said about it in the framework of the cop 27 climate conference, which is currently taking place in egypt, according to jones, putin started a war just three months after the previous climate conference held in glasgow, the kremlin continues energy blackmail and puts a pause in all attempts to combat climate change , johnson emphasized, meanwhile, the current british prime minister rishi sunok in his speech in sharm el-sheikh emphasized putin's war in ukraine, on the contrary, emphasized the urgency of combating climate change and the transition to renewable energy sources, the united states of america in anticipation of new

elections on november 8 in the usa there will be a midterm vote, the so-called midterms, it will take place exactly in the middle between the two presidential elections, they will re-elect the entire composition of the lower house of the parliament in the house of representatives, a third of the composition of the upper house of the senate, as well as legislative assemblies and governors in many states in the last two years, the majority in the chamber the democrats had, however, in the current elections, the chances of keeping the majority in the democratic party are frankly few, and we will talk more about the significance of these elections for ukraine with voice of america correspondent in washington, yulia yarmolenko, yulia vitayu, to begin with, many observers predict a defeat for the democrats in the elections to the house of representatives, as they say, historically, to what extent are such assessments justified, and

what will be decided in these elections? and the politicians themselves that this is the most important election of a generation, but we hear a lot of elections and mid-term and presidential elections in fact and yes, really now now according to the results analysts, large analytical companies that conduct forecasts together with large media companies are now predicting that the republicans are most likely to take the majority in the house of representatives, as for the senate, there is still a tie and it is very difficult to predict who will take the majority in the senate, this is extremely important, and definitely for whether the president can hayden, and to further promote his legislative initiatives and his political initiatives in the congress of the new convocation, as for ukraine, the composition of the congress is extremely important, because we know that it is the congress that approves the funding, the president himself then draws

resources for aid packages for ukraine, the representative of the republicans on the map has already stated that after the changes in the political forces in the us congress, ukraine will not receive as much financial support as it was so far, what is being said in washington, should the ukrainian authorities be wary of change, because until now the official opposition of the administration was that ukraine will be supported as long as it is necessary, in fact, this statement by kevin mccarthy caused a lot of there are many discussions, because it is kevin mccarthy, he is not just a republican, and if the republicans take the majority in the house of representatives, he will most likely become the speaker of the house of representatives , so his statement that he doubts that the republicans can write unlimited checks in ukraine, as he said, and in case transition to power in case of obtaining a majority caused a lot of discussion, however, as we hear from both the republic and the democrats, we spoke with them, they talk about what is currently in ukraine

extremely strong bipartisan support and they say that the votes from the skeptics are currently in the minority, in particular mitchma-conl - this is the leader of the republicans who are falling asleep and he is a very influential republican, he emphasizes that in fact , in his opinion, the support of his father's administration is not that strong, it should be continued call for military aid and other aid for ukraine until ukraine wins, so again, these discussions are ongoing - this is what we hear from the administration, they say that regardless of what the composition of the congress will be, they will work with that congress so that aid for ukraine is really kept as long as it is needed, and in this context it is also worth noting that now both the democrats and the republics are already working to ensure that the arrival of a new composition of the congress is two or three months before you said the congress would come to power to approve a package of additional funding for ukraine, these discussions

are ongoing, so we will monitor how this aspect will develop. have you felt any the shift in the establishment of the american government to the statements of president zelenskyi about the refusal to sit down at the negotiating table with poland does not mean the publication in the washington post wall street journal data about the alleged dissatisfaction with the categorical opposition of kyiv, what is said in these publications, they are talking about what is really in washington allegedly, in non-public conversations with the ukrainian authorities , he says that they should show their apparent openness to sit down at the negotiating table, but this is how these articles are actually going the biden administration itself does not believe that russia is ready for negotiations, and such an ostentatious readiness for negotiations on the part of kyiv is necessary in order for other partners in europe and latin america to allegedly be on the sidelines and continue to be on the side of kyiv , we asked the question today - is there any change in the positions of the payden administration regarding

potential negotiations. we raised these questions today with our us security council, and they paid attention to jake salvan's comment in kyiv itself, in which he said that there is nothing about ukraine without ukraine and also emphasized that everything that russia is doing now, everything that is going on and the rhetoric that is coming does not indicate that russia is ready to sit down at the table for talks in what we also heard from the physical representative of the us national security council john kirby at the end of last week they are talking about that they will buy based on the actions of the kremlin and not on words, and before the purchases it will be clear that the kremlin is ready to sit down at the table, talks will strengthen the position of ukraine so that the position of ukrainians is strong both on the battlefield and at the negotiating table when and if this will be enough. thanks for talking to us, voice of america correspondent yulia yarmolenko was in touch, and finally, last weekend in london, one of the oldest auctions in the world came, sotvis among the

lots was the car of the legendary soloist and band queen freddie mercury, the owner of a silver rolls royce mercury until recently was the ukrainian actor , performer and producer andriy danylko, who has been known for the role of verka serdyuchka for over 30 years, how much did you get for the legendary car, and what will the money earned at the auction be used for ? colleagues tetyana kharchenko and philly leaving here the phone if you wanted to call freddie mercury in 1980, you would have to dial this number car sales specialist of the sobis auction house nick wilds shows rolls-royce freddie mercury is here at the auction freddie's car not the most expensive lot, but it's not about the starting price , it's not always about whether this model is expensive or not, are there cars that are interesting because of who owned them, in the case of this car, no one touched these seats. if they were restored, this car would look like

any other car, but we know that these seats are wood. these are the same seats and upholstery that freddie touched. rolls grois was put up for auction by the ukrainian performer andrii danylko, who has been known for almost three decades in a row for his stage image of verka serdyuchka. he bought freddie's car in 2013 -but now i decided that it can be sold for a worthy cause. i decided that when these events happen, i think it's very well. how was it right for me not to pay for these parking lots and this car can be useful and i decided to put it on freddie mercury's sister knows the auction and the nephew who called us to find out the history of this car, what happened to it, now i think that freddie would be very happy that this particular car helped someone. silver

rolls-royce freddie mercury bought in order to impress his business partners in his back seat contracts were often signed now this rare car has a completely different mission to raise money for a rehabilitation center in ukraine before the auction starts interest in this car was expressed by merchants from brazil, argentina, australia, and all of them were informed that the amount paid for the car would go to the creation of the superhimands rehabilitation center in the lviv region, the center will provide assistance to both military and civilians because, unfortunately, war harms both groups of the population, it is assumed that the center will provide e-e help in four directions, this is direct prosthetics, this is surgical operations, facial structures, and so on, this is psychological help, and that rehabilitation is very important, therefore the center will to provide comprehensive care, which is very important, it is very

important not only to put a prosthesis, but to learn to live with it 15,000 pounds, that's what the starting price for the legendary singer's car became, it increased very quickly. you bet 145,000 pounds, and 145, i will not argue. to the people of ukraine just give them a stop because president zelensky is watching this sale online and he wants to order some more missiles and they cost more than 10,000 each bids reach 250,000 pounds in minutes or 11 million hryvnias were sold after learning that the money will be transferred to the rehabilitation center, the sobis auction refused to take interest from the sale price, another surprise of the evening was that the new buyer of the legendary performer's car also turned out to be ukrainian, and that's all we have time
