then kherson will surrender to moscow and they will be detained. i don’t know what they will give there, but criticism is so impossible and here is the fear that settles in the heads of russians. it should be the main motivator for them. by the way, when the troops came to the territory of russia and russia did not have the support of the allied republics they usually ran away there, well, such and such a people, they should run away and be afraid. and we should win. maybe reincarnation will give them something if it will. thank you for being with us. i say goodbye to you until sunday . see espresso. take care of yourself and now to yours i offer to your attention a news release from my colleagues from the ukrainian editorial office of bbc news. let's watch it together . good evening. we are from ukraine. ukrainian troops have entered kherson and are entrenched in the

liberated territories. met the armed forces of ukraine, a great victory, a historic day, president zelenskyi on the liberation of kherson and ukraine returns its 45 armed forces of ukraine returned from captivity the armed forces of ukraine entered kherson and occupied its center, at first numerous videos of military personnel in the city began to appear, and then the ministry of defense announced the entry into kherson kherson is returning to the control of ukraine, units of the armed forces of ukraine are entering the city, the main

directorate of intelligence later reported in the comments of the bbc adviser minister of defense yury sak reported that ukraine has established almost complete control over kherson in the gur. the ministry of defense called on the russians who remained in the city to surrender, and the president of ukraine, volodymyr zelenskyi, in his video address today was called a historic day and he thanked every soldier, every unit of the defense forces, everyone who brought this day closer for kherson oblast, the people of kherson waited, never gave up on ukraine, hope for ukraine is always justified and ukraine always returns what it is. flags believed in ukraine kherson became the first and only regional center that the russian army was able to capture at the beginning of the war at the end of february at the beginning of march the russian troops managed

surrounded the city and captured it after a short battle. ukrainian troops were unable to organize a defense along the dnieper and prevent the russians from entering the right bank. local residents did not agree with the russian occupation and went to pro-ukrainian rallies in the center of kherson, but the military began to use force to disperse these actions of disobedience . of local residents changed to the format of partisan and subversive struggle. at the end of september, the russian authorities held a so -called referendum in the kherson region, according to its results, about 87% local residents advocated joining the russian federation in the occupation kherson stayed from march 2 to november 11. from the very morning , videos appeared on the internet of kherson residents meeting the ukrainian military with posters and other flags, people hugged the military, took photos with them and talked about their mood and the townspeople, we will ask the kherson journalist to contact us, ivan

antipenko, i congratulate you today's video from kherson , they testify without exaggeration that the armed forces were waiting for the ukrainian military meetings, what mood prevails in the city now, from what we can see, this is what i managed to get information from people who are now in kherson, although it was difficult because there is almost no communication there. only in some places, uh, did you see how happy people and i myself, in fact, can’t hold back my emotions all day long, i’m rewinding the tape and i just ca n’t calm down, i can’t work, i can’t think about anything, only about when i will return home as soon as possible, i will return to my native kherson in order to work and live there but of course it won't be, it won't be difficult, it won't be simply because the city suffered such consequences of the war, which we

have yet to learn about, well, very scary. although there is much less infrastructural destruction, such as in kharkiv or mykolaiv, for example. but there are other problems about which journalists will also tell. well, at the same time, there is information that in the city the russian military disguises itself as civilians and hides in residential buildings and throws their uniforms in the trash. what is known about this and is there a possibility of ambushes for the armed forces and civilians residents in particular. but i think that even if there are some single russian soldiers left there, these are just people who, as they say, didn't make it to the last train, so they were either thrown away, or they might have marked their negative i don't know the attack on mykolaiv, it's just that a drunken harry fell asleep there. well, everything happens because that's what

they told me too, but i don't think, but in fact there are already some ambushes in kherson itself, because what we saw now in kherson is a meeting of our people military - this is already the next stage, i am convinced that before that, the special operations intelligence units there, as they say, went in and learned the main points that we need, that they need so that the units can come to clean the city. well, but if someone there alone decides to join the last battle well, i mean from the russian military it is of course theirs if it was their choice, i don’t think that it is in kherson itself that there are some forces left that are capable of resisting the armed forces of ukraine, but on the left bank there are some ukrainians who all this time remained in

our colleagues in kherson were told that with the spread of rumors, the city has changed, there are problems with food, medicine, and you say that there is no communication. tell us what the humanitarian situation is now in kherson. e electricity with heat e interruptions and it is practically there in some areas because when the russians fled they destroyed the boiler houses of energy generating enterprises destroyed the tv tower e cut the wires e e internet communication mobile communication so and so in a way, if they made life difficult for the peaceful inhabitants, that is, they promised to come to liberate and protect someone from someone, but they did a lot of harm and just ran away with food, i

don't think there is a big problem, at least i don't know about it, well, these are our people of kherson - this is also kherson region, an agrarian region, and if the stores have reduced sausages, well, there are vegetables and fruits in such an autumn. i think it’s warm, everything they could. people there gathered there in the markets ahead of the release day. i saw footage where people were actively in the markets local, that is, well, obviously you could buy something there, that is, once, uh, if we imagine this as a uh, humanitarian catastrophe, well, it seems to me that there is not, but there are great difficulties, i would say, with access to medicine, access to the end of such uh, means which were previously available, yes, that is, but uh, i hope that with the arrival of the armed forces of

ukraine and return there, humanitarian organizations of ukrainian international organizations will also come, uh, volunteers, who all this time when kherson was under occupation them uh well the transfer of humanitarian goods, first of all, but the occupiers did not allow them to go there, they never allowed such an official corridor to be organized, instead, only there, with their own truths and lies, people brought small cars with medicines there with other necessary means. that is, this is the situation. thank you for the conversation, ivan - it was khersonsky journalist ivan antipenko, and retreating from kherson, the russians blew up the antonov bridge in the process, as evidenced by numerous videos and photos circulating on the internet, destroyed and pontoon crossings across the dnipro, which the russians built after the strikes of the armed forces on

the bridge in the summer, pro-russian media even shared a video of russian soldiers fleeing on foot across the dnipro on pontoons. despite this, stabilization measures in the liberated part of the kherson region may last several weeks, because the russians can arrange provocations, said serhii, a deputy of the kherson regional council . hey, let's listen. right now, the de-occupation of the right coast of the kherson region of the city of kherson is at the final stage. that we understand that the occupier was leaving the day before . by the way, they blew up, and father, they change clothes, throw away their military uniforms in civilian clothes, try to hide, they will mostly

prepare some provocations in the city of kherson, and this work is still ahead of the official russian media, at the same time, they are trying to level the surrender they call what is happening in kherson a redeployment or regrouping maneuver and present it in a rather positive way for the russians, but the kremlin refused to comment on the decision of the russian command to leave kherson presidential spokesman dmytro piskov, when asked by journalists, learns the situation is not personally humiliating for putin , answered no and emphasized that the kremlin considers these lands to be part of russia that the russians have been told about the war in ukraine for more than 8 months, the kremlin's message to the people was that russia will win, but still no signs of the promised victory, on the contrary, the russians hear all the time

about failures gloomy faces on state television, this is russia announcing the retreat from kherson, a strategically important ukrainian city, represents how many now, i bet it was a conspiracy with the west, says the tv presenter, but we must remain calm, another supporter of the kremlin is still confident in the victory of west jowl, the withdrawal of our troops from kherson is not a defeat although many in the west would like to perceive it as a defeat, but it is not so because sometimes you need to take a step back to make 10 forwards nevertheless one gets the impression that putin is trying to distance himself from what many consider a failure while the retreat is announced on television putin visits a brain research center he thought his military operation in ukraine would last days, not months, but things did not go according

to plan, so his goals in this war are growing are more incomprehensible, and since the kremlin convinced that occupied kherson is forever russian, this retreat is a blow to moscow, your faster retreat of russia from kherson is dangerous for putin himself, this will be able to change the attitude of russians and not just the population towards him the elites of a close circle of people in power who for years considered putin a great strategist and a winner but now there is less and what is the mood on the streets of course we will win this war this is what the man said when the russians were losing i really hope that the russian soldiers will return putin will leave office and ukraine but russia will be free from this dictator, for now the russian public is waiting and watching where the kremlin war will go, so whether it will be a good will or

a crushing defeat, we will talk about it with an expert on security issues, contact us representative national institute of strategic studies oleksiy ezhyak mr. oleksiy i welcome you on the air, the miscalculation of the russian army or the excellent work of the armed forces of ukraine. how would you describe the events of the last few days, the strategic defeat of russia, which was predicted a long time ago at the stage when russia began to transfer troops to e- troops to the right bank in kherson, expecting that there would be the beginning of the contrast, but in fact the contract offensive began in the kharkiv region, and even then the foundation was laid for this strategic defeat, and now we are seeing its finale the only thing that can be said is that after all, russia realized in time that it could not hold kherson and

began to withdraw its troops. well, as we now understand , it has been doing this for a couple of weeks, and in this regard, it can be said that russia minimized its losses a little, and vladimir putin after that still tried to turn it into a victory, saying that this is another gesture of goodwill in order to start negotiations, as he said , with ukrainian partners. and can russia accumulate strength and strike a counter strike, for example, on kakhovsky hpp and thus prevent or delay the advance of ukrainian troops across the river. what risks do you see in delaying the advance of our troops? they can, in the last month or even more, have created defense lines on the left bank, and that is why they have now blown up the

antonov bridge. i think the railway bridge has also been damaged. bridge near well, yes, the other part of the antonov bridge. i think it is difficult to pass through the kakhovsky okakhovsky dam, so they can really delay and return to kherson - no, it is impossible the most dangerous situation that can happen is that they will keep the group that they have largely removed from kherson and direct it to other directions of the front, first of all to the donetsk region. these dangers are now of course a danger and i do not think that there are too many of these groups, but the attempt to infiltrate the russian presence in the de-occupied territory will really be and the russians really did everything to make it very

it is difficult to restore normal self-government in these territories, even in terms of infrastructure. i think it will be very difficult there to restore the health care system and communal services, all this will be difficult and for sure . there, the russians have enough strength left for such a large post-military resistance, i don't think so, but it is also possible for the vagandists to directly influence the crimean society, they would of course have a negative effect on the russian authorities, but propaganda in russia is still powerful, and

now it is impossible to talk about putin winning, or the russian government winning, or someone winning, if someone won in this situation, it was the new leaders of the russian power bloc prigozhin kadyrov and suroviking who won who will have the opportunity to use these troops, possibly for promotion in the donetsk region, and say that they are well done, but everyone else will lose and putin will lose, we may be talking about minimization, we can now only talk about that or the russians will convince them that everything is going according to plan, or putin's ratings will fall even more and there will be a threat of destabilization of the government, but this can only be observed, one can only say that you will win, it is impossible in this situation for the kremlin, so the defeat in the kherson region will affect the image of the former

second army the world, how the west will react and i had cotton wool , if possible briefly well, i think for the west, nothing new has happened here, the event is predicted, but for the russians themselves and russia's clients in other countries who still retain a certain loyalty, this is true a catastrophic blow thank you thank you we were contacted by an expert from the national institute of strategic studies, oleksiy ezhyak, thank you and one more event that we can't help but remember , another exchange of prisoners of war took place today, 45 soldiers of the armed forces of ukraine were freed this was announced by the head of the president's office, andriy yarmak among the freed soldiers and sergeants, it was also possible to return two bodies of the fallen defenders. since november, ukraine has returned from russian captivity 107 soldiers, six officers, 101 privates and sergeants, 74

fighters defended azovstal in october , more than 20 ukrainians came out of russian captivity, including 108 women, and i also want to remind you that you can always find up-to-date and operational information on our website bbc.ua, and i also encourage you to subscribe to our youtube channel, if you haven't done so yet, put like comment share yes you help more people see this video and today in london the meeting of the committee on safety of maritime transport of the international maritime organization ended russia's war against ukraine sea blockade transportation from ukrainian ports not to mention the seizure by the russians of all ukrainian exits to the sea of ​​azov, new challenges have been put before international shipping, and this is what the head of the state service of sea and river transport of ukraine, vitaliy kindratov

, said. part of ukraine's fulfillment of its international obligations, what is happening today within the eu began with the beginning of the military aggression of the russian federation against ukraine it was the blocking of sea lanes , the blocking of naming, first of all, we have a lot of examples there, it seems about seven, when mines were found in the black sea that were once taken from the entire occupied occupied crimea , that is, today we have a situation when mines were floating in the black sea that were once here in the black sea, in the black-black crimea. and after the annexation of the crimea by the russian federation, it is used to show that ukraine mines the trade routes primarily for missile strikes. it is quite real because at the beginning of the military aggression, about 10 ships under the

flags of different countries were attacked by missiles. and today we know from yesterday's news that the issue of the restoration of the activity of the grain corridor has been resumed, russia has returned to this process and currently today they have already resumed traffic along this grain corridor. but at the same time, there are some problems of this is due to the fact that the joint inspection that takes place in istanbul and that takes place in the bosphorus is very often unreasonably delayed by the russian part of the russian e-e inspectors that is, we have a situation where a ship with grain can stand for two weeks waiting for an inspection, this is what we have now a visit to an international maritime organization where technical issues raised by ukraine that we faced during military aggression were discussed, including technical issues, these were such situations when

the court not of the search and rescue service went out to provide assistance to the corresponding sailors or ships that suffered a disaster after being fired upon by missiles and they were and they were captured by the russian military, then they were returned and today of all all returned, and it was the ship sapphire of the preparation of the search service, and it was returned, both the ship and the crew, but here it was there, the negotiation process is quite a long story, and today we are working with emotion on the amendment that ukraine initiated in order to ensure the safety of all in other parts of the world, the teams and ships of the rescue and search services when they are in the combat zone, we had a corresponding speech yesterday, and on this issue, the political part also spoke, and

about the aggression of the russian federation at sea and about the fact that the russian federation has done everything in order to say that there is no longer navigation safety in the black sea and called on partners for additional sanctions and additional control over vessels used by the russian federation to transport stolen grain, that is, the price of direct piracy the president of ukraine proposed to suppress mobilization and martial law in the country for 90 days, i.e. until february 19, 2023, the relevant bills have already been registered in the verkhovna rada in order for the decision not to be valid, they must be supported by the majority of deputies. meanwhile, a curfew regime is in force in the country. violators of the established order can be detained, they can receive administrative punishment or receive summonses to the military commissions to undergo a medical examination and renew data. the police have

more powers during the period of martial law. rights of civil citizens, restrictions, next bbc report on how patrols operate during the curfew on the streets of kyiv in our city of kyiv from 11:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m. and from 10:00 p.m. we start in accordance with the protocol of the civil-military administration, we check the closure of catering establishments, the main task during the curfew is to ensure order and safety of all citizens, as well as the fight against subversive intelligence groups, looters, as well as security during the the so-called well, the so-called rocket fire , artillery fire, and also the drone attack. well, so that people are less on the streets during this curfew, police officers and military personnel enjoy certain rights and

citizens are limited to certain rights. that is, this movement is movement only by transfers with special passes. arsenalna has several food establishments. as you can see , there is no light and the establishments are closed. well, we will go through everything right now for safety. we will check that it is really closed for two minutes. it changes very much. there are no people, that is, there are at all, if you take it to the war, yes , to the martial law, then in the city of kyiv, if life continued, clubs, various institutions, people are

resting, then now there are more people, the majority of people they understand that the situation in the state is martial law, then they understand that you immediately hide, well, during martial law, it is very visible as a city just after 11:00 p.m. it is empty, it happened that i called a taxi, a long taxi from uh, they refused the order, the last taxi driver uh, accepted the order and we drove in a hurry and did not make it until the curfew in seven months, every weekend and not only on weekends, on weekdays, police officers constantly check establishments and people , so there are fewer and fewer people, less and more started

understand that you don't need to be there tell the truth i'm going home from where what was done did you have something done to you there is an address or was something done to you i'm sleeping very much at home just in the city of kyiv what are you doing i live and work and you already work go to study study where is taras shevchenko university faculty of physics i stayed at work for 19 full years, mobilization does not fall under this time, it makes no sense to issue him

a summons, the representatives of the military commissariat will issue a summons to this person to the military commissariat, deliver him to the district department, they will not check it the wanted documents are not cleared, they will give him a summons and will wait for public transport to start working, our function as representatives of the military commissariat of the city of kyiv, one of the districts of the city of kyiv, is to check whether a person is on the military register when he visited the military commissariat last time and it was in the form of a warning or, shall we say, in the form of some kind of philaptic event. we invite him to pass a medical commission or renew data in the army and the main news

of today is that the armed forces of ukraine entered kherson and occupied its center, president zelenskyi the adviser to the head of the office of the president of ukraine, mykhailo podolyak, called it a historic day and wrote on twitter: "russian peace knows how to effectively flee from kyiv , from kharkiv, from kherson, now it is important to ensure a large-scale escape of the russian occupiers from ukraine from all of our territory, this was a quote and that's all for today, i'm looking for most stories on our website bbc.ua and on our pages in social networks, tune in to our program already on monday at exactly 9:00 p.m. take care
