officials from different countries are commenting on moscow's decision to leave the right-bank part in the kherson region. left the region by the unprecedented support provided by panato allies every day changes the situation on the battlefield and remains vital for progress ukraine, we have taken note of russia's application to invade kherson, we will see how the situation on the ground develops in the coming days, but one thing is clear: russia is under strong pressure. and if it leaves kherson, it will be another victory for ukraine. after a telephone conversation with vladimir zelensky, they decided that success can be said when the flag of ukraine will be raised in the very regional center

, us president zhubaiten said at a conference in the white house that the russian troops did not for washington, this decision is a surprise. this decision indicates that they have big problems in the russian army. this is the first, second, regardless of whether the parties will use the winter period to recalibrate their positions. it will be possible to judge whether ukraine and tyny will be ready for a compromise with russia, the sources of the american television channel nbc believe that with the onset of winter, when it will become more difficult to introduce hostilities, there will indeed be an opportunity for negotiations, turkey has already stated that in this case it is ready to act as mediators, the president she called the withdrawal of russian troops from part of the kherson region a positive

decision . the nikolaev region is completely liberated from the consent of the russian federation ministry of defense reported on the planned maneuver in the direction of nikolaev in the kryvyi rih region about the existing maneuver a unit of the russian group of troops in a prepared position on the left bank of the dnieper river in strict accordance with the approved plan commented that no one from anywhere simply does not go like that if he does not feel the power, the enemy does not give us gifts, does not make gestures of goodwill, we choose all this . and when you are angry, you must understand that every step is always the resistance of the enemy, it is always the loss of the lives of our heroes, therefore we move very carefully without emotions without unnecessary risk in the interests of the

liberation of our entire land and so that the losses are as little as possible this is how we will secure the liberation of kherson, kakhovka, donetsk, and other cities of ours in the general staff of the armed forces of ukraine . left the enemy with no other option than to flee, but at the moment we cannot deny or confirm the information about the so-called withdrawal of russian troops from kherson we will continue the introduction of the offensive operation according to our plan for the previous day ukraine liberated 12 settlements in the kherson direction wrote on facebook the commander-in-chief of the armed forces of ukraine and added data for october in the kherson direction from october 1, the advance of our troops into the depth of the enemy's defenses is up to

36 .5 km, the total area of ​​the recaptured territory reaches 1,381 m², control over 41 settlements has been restored, the ukrainian military publishes videos of liberated areas on social networks of settlements wednesday 9-11 15 16 the settlement of bruskyi was released into the settlement of pravdyna please look guys girls glory to ukraine glory to ukraine two population centers and yevgenyvka

take control of special wheels of ukraine we are advancing glory to ukraine 28 separate mechanized brigade the front line of the enemy is already ours that some russian units may remain to detain the armed forces in kherson itself yulia kryuchkova radio svoboda svoboda life is broadcast live on radio svoboda's facebook pages and on youtube and also on the air of the espresso tv channel, if you watch us on the internet, do not forget to subscribe, put likes and the more your reactions, the more people will learn about us and about our program, and then we will talk about how the further offensive of ukrainian forces on the south and when kherson can be liberated, what

is happening in kherson right now, radio svoboda has received an exclusive comment from local residents and the prospects for negotiations, the american publication politikus, referring to sources, notes that the position of the president of ukraine volodymyr zelenskyi regarding the negotiations with russia has softened, which can be directly related to the so-called push from the administration of joe biden that this all means further in svoboda life the withdrawal of russian troops from the right bank kherson region will be another victory for ukraine in the war against russia , the secretary general of nato and genstoteltenberg said this today, listen, we took into account russia's announcement about the retreat from kherson we must see how the situation on the ground will develop in the coming days, but it is obvious that russia is

under heavy pressure if they leave kherson - it will be another victory for ukraine well, we received an exclusive exclusive audio recording of radio svoboda , she spoke with a resident of kherson and she told us what is happening in the city right now, for security purposes, we do not we call her name and changed her voice listen we still saw russians today we saw the band went only in cars, well that is for example, a car with the letter v and the letter z is driving past you at high speed as we already know they are used to this and you understand that they will mix. yesterday we saw how there were more exhibitions, the movement of buses in the direction of the pre-trial detention center in the direction of the portugalivator, they were in a white bus, inside were people in military uniforms in camouflage and with balaclavas on their faces, that is, we were passing through some

citizen in in principle, it is difficult to conclude exactly where the movement is going. where are they going or are they there? i don’t know. are they going to some of their positions outside the city or somewhere else? precisely as pedestrians very rarely walk, the situation is very contradictory to us, we want to cry that for all these 9 months in situations, in principle, in terms of the level of tension, it probably began to resemble the beginning of war or the beginning of occupation, now once again the fact that there are fewer people, and in principle the situation is not so critical because there is enough food for this number of people, but it is very difficult to draw any other conclusions because people also write to me and say that they learned from some verified sources that the russians retreated here directly, they have already retreated, but

we continue to see the humanitarian assessment, well , a catastrophe or a harbinger of this catastrophe is already coming in the form of such a solid accusation, and therefore, in principle, why did i expect what to expect, people do not know yesterday, well, for example , in the evening and now even walking around the city well, let's say it's dangerous because you're walking stupidly and so and so he is all black, that is, it has not been like this for a long time, they just listened to an audio recording of a resident of kherson who tells what is happening in the city right now. well , the priority for the russian troops in the kherson direction is now an organized withdrawal of its forces across the dnipro, the american institute for war research reports that the priority for russian troops is to withdraw their forces across the dnipro and delay the ukrainian forces, not to completely

stop the ukrainian counteroffensive, as i have already said, according to the american institute for war research, analysts say that a russian retreat is unlikely is a trap, i will remind you that just the day before, the adviser to the head of the president's office reported that the ukrainian side does not yet see signs that russia is going to leave kherson without battles well, mykhailo , the very expert of the army conversion and disarmament research center, joins the broadcast. good evening. good evening . oh, what predictions do you have now about how the counteroffensive can develop first? first, let's give the ukrainian forces a counteroffensive, because we today we see quite a lot of videos from the ukrainian military reporting the liberation of populated areas, even possibly ahead of the ukrainian authorities. events will continue to develop in the coming week, for example . everything will depend on how the russian army will withdraw its troops, i.e. they are trying to conduct

an operation to withdraw their forces from the right bank, obviously trying to preserve as much as possible their human resources, their equipment and their weapons , and therefore the maximum task for the ukrainian forces is now - it is not to quickly liberate this territory, but to destroy the russian troops as much as possible . i will explain why. because if we give them the opportunity to withdraw their forces through the dnieper, they will then use them in other directions, for example on territory of belarus. that is, we can expect that these paratroopers, who are still on the right bank, if they manage to get out of there, they may in the future, after completion of training, be sent to, for example, to create a threat to us now from the north. therefore, now it is necessary to destroy the russian troops as much as possible without giving they have

the opportunity to cross a-a to the left bank, that is, now it’s just that for some reason a narrative e-e has formed in the information space so it seems that now russia has the initiative russia is in some kind of trap, absolutely no , the ukrainian army is not conducting a counteroffensive operation, by the way, but a classic offensive operation . "russia has appeared, which is ensnaring us and ukraine, for some reason , is conducting a counter-attack operation in the ukrainian armed forces. in fact, now the russian army is in a cauldron here, to say the least. it's absolutely clean and it is clear and that is why now the ukrainian army is not just liberating the territory, but is methodically and very systematically

destroying those units and parts of the armed forces of the russian federation that are on this bridgehead and are trying to escape . fools perform contour-offensive surgery on someone and drag them into a trap . we don't want to get into that trap. well, a little bit. it seems to me that it's not such a narrative about us. in fact, it was just partially mentioned and i studies of the war say that the number one priority for russia right now is to withdraw its troops from the kherson region in an organized manner, or did i understand you correctly? if the russian side achieves this goal and really organizes its withdrawal from the kherson region, it will create an opportunity for them to gather, regroup and continue the war that is, for the ukrainian forces now, it is to prevent them from organizing their organized exit from the right bank, that is what the armed forces are doing now,

that is, the armed forces of ukraine are not the main task, if you read our press, the main task of our forces is not to fall into a trap , in fact, the main task of our forces is to destroy those russian troops that are on the right bank of the dnieper. troops planned and without losses because every hour yesterday and tonight and this afternoon continued very effective strikes by our high-precision means of clustering in columns at the location of the deployment a-a of personnel and equipment of the russian troops, i can say that their losses are huge, so uh, well, imagine, let's simulate the situation that you and i are in such a state, we were actually surrounded by the enemy's troops, behind us, uh, a very big river and we we are trying to

cross it, this is not an easy task, and since ukraine has been in complete possession of the nest since at least july, including fully controlling the bridgehead by means of fire, controlling all crossings, i think that it will be very, very difficult for the russians to carry out their dream of crossing without loss to the territory on the left bank. of course, if they would achieve their goal and achieve it successfully, i.e. cross to the left bank of the rapids, of course they would use these forces, they would use them in other directions. i want to remind you that now in this cauldron the most combat-capable amphibious units are sitting and cooking, that is, there are great prospects that the russian army, if i understood correctly, may face a rout in- it may fall into a trap, they fell into a trap, er, approximately from february 24, and this trap

they, er, when they ran out, if we specifically take this tactical area after they ran out of offensive momentum, and it ran out , in fact, immediately when they could not take mykolaiv, er. after that, er, they had a period of such operational slackness. and after since in july of ukraine, kaimars appeared and uh, ukrainian troops began to systematically destroy crossings , logistics, warehouses with ammunition, command points, and so on, they have actually already been in the cauldron since july. simply, if they were guided military sense of carrying out this operation, they would start fleeing from there from july. and since putin demanded to stay there at any cost, they stayed there at any cost, held so-called referendums there, annexed these territories , and now they are losing their troops, well, it is natural

when such great commanders as putin and the president of the united states, joe biden, lead the e-e troops. yesterday, he said that he thought that moscow's statement about retreating from kherson was expected for him and indicates big problems in ranks of the russian army. if i could briefly ask you to describe, what are these problems now in the eighth month of the war in the russian army, these problems began a long time ago, first of all, they do not have intelligence, there is no normal assessment of the situation, there are no normal generals, these are strategic problems and from the point of view if we say losses, then they actually lost their regular army, they tried to carry out the so-called mobilization, but it only brought problems and could not change the situation. we see it on all fronts that these mobs were not able to break the situation and already obviously they will not be able to this failure under kherson will continue to fail. in other

directions, these are all the consequences of these strategic problems that putin tried to change with strikes on the critical infrastructure of ukraine with mass missile attacks, then the mobilization is nothing it is not included because the armed forces of the russian federation are now in a critical, critically bad condition. i want to quote one more american official - this is the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff of the united states, mark milley, that's him just the day before, he gave an estimate of the losses of both the ukrainian and the russian side, and he did not specify where he got this information from, but according to him, more than 100,000 soldiers were killed and wounded on the russian side. but at the same time, he said that from the ukrainian side parties, the same, to what extent from your point of view these data can be true, i don't know where the commander of the joint

chiefs of staff got the information from negotiations, well, it's true. yes, it seems to me that the general has gone a little out of his parish here, i'm just commenting. he needs to prepare, prepare, he needs to prepare the armed forces of the united states for use in the war against russia, and not engage in politics. i think you think this was a political statement about the loss of the negotiations. general well, of course it's politics. well, maybe he called it a window of opportunity. he said that now a window of opportunity is appearing . it is likely that there is a window of opportunity to sign the capitulation for ukraine, that is, what kind of negotiations can there be when the general, instead of fulfilling his functional duties, which are written in him very clearly, begins to propose to the government of ukraine to engage in e-wars with the

russians. i believe that this is not the general's parish this is politics in which he should not engage in fact it is prohibited in the united states no let's discuss in more detail the political component so to speak of this story thank you very much mykhailo samusk, an expert at the army conversion and disarmament research center was on radio svoboda. thank you , serhii nikitenko is already joining our broadcast, the editor-in-chief of the kherson publication most sergiyu. good evening. who cooperate with them in kherson blew up the tv tower, can you say something about it in more detail, we have already clarified that it is not a tv tower, the russians blew up the tv center, i am convinced that the center is located under the tv the tv tower itself is intact, it is not damaged, but the

tv transmission center was destroyed in kherson , first of all, and in the kherson region. i mean the occupied territories of the right bank after the last day, after russia announced its withdrawal from kherson, literally, read this the news about the tv center, we talked about it, but it was not possible to communicate with our e-e reader e-e, in which he reported that kherson is completely without electricity and there is a complete lack of mobile communication. in addition, the russians blew up several boiler house and in fact the city was left without heating. this is exactly what we know at the moment. but at the same time, it is very quiet in kherson. well, there are almost no people on the streets. well, it’s just such a surreal picture, if it’s about kherson, uh, kherson district, uh, today hmm sends good news, i won't talk about the

name of the national points eh i think the leaders will announce today well, the army man, yes, but the videos are going with all their salt, people are raising flags, i don't know what it is well, it's a very emotional emotional situation, people are raising flags sing and he and er, well, it’s obvious that they were waiting for the armed forces, we showed part of these videos at the beginning of the program, and now we’re also broadcasting them, sergey, the same question . did all the russian troops leave kherson at the russian checkpoints? there’s no one there, but the russian bloc is empty i'm sorry, the troops took almost another week, how can i say i won't be as soon as possible, well , first of all, we don't know who left or left in general, we know that as recently as yesterday, the military were at some

industrial enterprises were located in the territory of m.m. settlements of the kherson agglomeration let's say that now i can't tell the media person of the so-called new government of the kherson region, it's about kirill from forced, who called himself or calls himself the deputy head of the region, allegedly died in a road accident and it was reported on the kremlin media, and it happened yesterday exactly on the day when the russian side officially announced the withdrawal of its troops from kherson, serhiy, do you know what happened to him, did he die, or could he be eliminated as a benefit of this version? i also want to ask you if he could have interfered with anyone in there are many versions of the occupied area, there are many versions , and i think that he was already, well, he was never particularly useful for the russians, only at

the beginning, when they were like no one. he was such a relay of thoughts, yes. maybe he was gathering some people around him. vatnuryadku yes, a little now, i am not sure that as of yesterday, he was at all interesting to the russians, and most likely if he was killed, then i don't understand what the difference is at all about well, what happened to the leadership, he died well, that's what happened well, it's possible you know, they cover up if, for example, he did not die by his own death , maybe it makes sense to assume that someone is covering up his tracks, but that's why many of us are interested , uh, it's true, they rarely say that now, but he knew a lot not only about uh, the fsb. he i also knew a lot about the er ukrainian sbusniks who

crushed him many years ago. existence is probably such a version, but also not we can rule out that he is alive and simply went somewhere to russia. do you rule it out? i don’t think that the russians bothered so much at such a time and for some stream of usov . nobody needs it. well, nobody needs it at all. i don’t believe in this version. it’s clear now that russian forces have left kherson while they are leaving or have left while they are leaving the right bank of the dnieper. and where are they now setting up, so to speak, their point in the kherson region from where they will be to try to manage the region, now the russians

have moved to genichesk, it’s almost on the border , on the border with occupied crimea, and partly their eyes are fake authorities are in skadovsk, er, that’s too well, it’s far 100 km from kherson, well, there is information that partly military military commands are now located somewhere in the area of ​​the oleshkiv sands, and this is the question, you still know kherson and the kherson subpoena quite well. what do you think, let's simulate the situation that in the coming days the ukrainian military will enter kherson and the ukrainian authorities are beginning to restore order there, which could be the biggest challenge for the ukrainian authorities as of now, well, now it is a humanitarian situation, first of all it is electricity - it is heat supply, it is communication, medicine, products

. today i spoke with a source that today i want to call by the regional military administration and they said that they are preparing as much as possible, but right now they have canceled all other matters, they are preparing specifically for kherson, because you understand that it is, well, the most populated place of the region lives there most of the thousands of people there are now. imagine, eh. well, if they will be in such a situation for a few days, when they find themselves in this situation now, eh. well, i think that these basic necessities, well, they will be needed as much as possible now. well, it is clear that what will be needed take care of security, because the russians will intervene even if they leave kherson, as they promised there, they will be located some 20 km from the city center, and i also cannot help but ask you what you might know as of now about the legitimate mayor of the city, ihor kolykhaev, mayor of kherson

who existed at a certain period simply disappeared and according to one version he was kidnapped, according to another version he went somewhere by himself, do you know his fate, different versions, er, well , he really was stolen, that's why there are witnesses whom i trust, but something didn't seem like it, we don't know we had information that he was released even before the holding of this referendum, he went to the crimea or abroad, or the information is not confirmed by e-e. nor by polish entourage, not relatives, although many sources emphasize it e-e. the last thing we heard is one of a russian prisoner who managed to leave they said that he was allegedly taken to kalynchak, which is on the border with the occupied crimea, and i know that you now travel a lot on expeditions to the liberated regions of the kherson region. what

surprises or impresses you personally the most? who stayed, who survived the occupation, who are returning, returning temporarily to say some words, and well, you know, i am inspired by people who sometimes lost everything a long time ago that a peasant except his house, his workers, and i am inspired by what they they say that we will definitely return, we will rebuild our houses, we will continue to work hard. and this really surprises me more, perhaps the cruelty, i am not human. the cruelty with which the uh, occupiers dealt with ordinary peasants, look at these people who uh- what do they say? they tortured and interrogated the people of oleksandriv. this is a small district center in the north of the region. i was told by people that all are men.
