is happening vos warns russian strikes on the energy system of ukraine threaten the lives of millions of people how to prevent a catastrophe please ripka chornobay the river and the village that became a folk legend during the war are returning to normal life under the ukrainian flags report of our correspondents from chernobaivka , the security service of ukraine searched the kyiv-pechersk lavra, according to the sbu, in order to prevent its use as a cell of the russian peace. the investigation began after a report that the kyiv-pechersk lavra was allegedly prayed

for russia, law enforcement officers with the participation of church representatives inspected the territory and premises, people were checked for involvement in illegal activities to the detriment of the state sovereignty of ukraine, later it also became known about searches in the rivne region , in particular, on the territory of koretsky holy trinity the monastery of the women's monastery in honor of the volyn icon of the mother of god in the village of sernyki tau, the premises of the sarnensky polish diocese of the ukrainian orthodox church, as reported by the sbu administration in the rivne region, this is the work of i will quote here countermeasures against the subversive activities of the russian special services in ukraine, according to bbc interlocutors, investigative actions are also taking place in the metropolitan of sarnensky i will remind anatoliy that recently in one of the temples of the kyiv-pechersk lavra, during the spiritual chants, the song "the bell is ringing, it's floating over russia" sounded these words in the church

the public was outraged after this video chants were repeated several times, the sbu started an investigation into what is happening in the church sphere , bbc correspondent tetyana kharchenko spoke with andrii smirnov, a professor of the ostrozka academy. how do you assess today 's searches in the lavra ? 8 years ago, when the russian-ukrainian war began, and not only in the kiev-pechersk lavra or in the koretsky monastery, but before everyone else, the svyatogorsk lavra, where we know was transshipment base of pro-russian militants , terrorists, hill well, and so on, then the state did not react, turned a blind eye to it, and then the russian state and the russian special services used the ukrainian orthodox church together with the moscow patriarchate as a kind of fifth column and channel to influence ukraine in

including through the monasteries of the parishes of the pro-russian bishops, whom we now know, collaborated with russia all the time, and this was clearly manifested in the occupied territories, especially in the crimea, where all the bishops and priests recognized the russian government and still they bless the war, and metropolitan lazer of simferopol and crimea even signed an agreement a on cooperation with the black sea fleet of the russian federation. for eight years, the ukrainian state did not react and still does not react, that is why such searches can only be welcomed. what will be the result if you think about the kremlin's statements about the searches? just an excuse for piskov and other russian propagandists to once again accuse ukraine of some kind of persecution, uh, you don't need to be motivated by this . i think that the state, the ukrainian state, has no

the aim is somehow to completely ban the ukrainian orthodox church now, but this is a certain signal in order to still force metropolitan onufry and certain bishops to dialogue with the state, how can the state ensure national security in conditions of war and at the same time not lead to a wave of discontent among the faithful can ban a completely religious organization. it can influence. it has such leverage. first of all, this is the issue of leasing property of state property that is in use by the ukrainian orthodox church. the same lavras are in state property and if the lower lavra is in such permanent and indefinite use, then, for example, the churches of the upper lavra, the spanish refectory, their lease ends in december of this year, and here the state can influence here from the point of view of concluding or not concluding the extension or not

of extending these contracts. the first, the second - this is a very important issue of the departure of bishops and priests of the ukrainian orthodox church abroad. for an unknown purpose and what they are doing there, no one knows, and the state here has this lever of influence . it is necessary to prohibit them from going abroad in the conditions of martial law, this is really further. directly subordinate to the moscow patriarch, where until now the moscow patriarch kirill is officially commemorated. i am not talking about the fact that in other monasteries and parishes there they continue to commemorate so unofficially and informally, which is contrary to their updated statute the state here also has every reason to,

after the imposition of sanctions on patriarch kirill, somehow contribute to the removal of this monastery from the moscow patriarchate , that is, this list can be continued, but the main thing is that a law, a special law, is needed. because our state bodies or law enforcement agencies can whether or not they violate the legislation, they act within the limits and in the manner determined by the law. so already today people's deputy knyazhytskyi registered such a bill which, in principle, if it will adopted will allow certain measures to be taken, it will be clearly stated that we cannot have, for example , orthodox churches, which would be subject to the aggressor country, as latvia did when you have a specialty in law. no one is talking about the violation of religious freedom. in latvia, orthodox churches that have any foreign center, even constantinople , cannot obey in the morning summary

of british military intelligence today, analysts remind about the strike that took place on november 18 about oil terminal in the port of novorossiysk, next to which a significant part of the russian black sea fleet is based, according to the british, the russian command is there from the crimea, submarines after the ukrainians attacked the port in sevastopol, a new strike is now already on the novorossiysk port, demonstrating that the russian fleet is in danger there, despite the fact that after the explosion on the kerch bridge, which you now see on the screen in october, the supply of the russian group in crimea is carried out mainly by sea from novorossiysk details the incident is not fully understood, but any demonstration of the ability of the ukrainian army to strike at novorossiysk will seriously complicate the life of the command of the russian fleet, which has also already lost its position in the black sea, british intelligence summarizes well, let's talk more about what is happening on the war fronts,

including who and about possible options in the future, contact us, the head of the center for military legal research oleksandr musienko welcomes you, oleksandr well, let's talk live first. let's start with this report of british intelligence, do you know anything about this incident in novorossiysk incident, what do they call it and if so, how can the ukrainian army attack novorossiysk at all, it is somehow well, quite far, but i want to tell you that we have seen certain things that happened before, that already christened in ukraine as cotton so that happened in the occupied territory in crimea on in the occupied territory of crimea so explosions on and russia border with ukraine of course, let's say nature is not always possible establish for sure, but we can definitely state the fact that it is quite likely that russia

cannot guarantee the safety of its ships, its military equipment, its aircraft, other weapons that it has in the occupied crimea, in other territories, they cannot have absolute safety , and we see that even in newly created strange things , this happened before in the occupied crimea. we remember what happened to the ships there, three ships were damaged as a result of an attack by surface drones in the sevastopol bay, and now we saw in in any case, we can state that the ukrainian capabilities and capacities for striking at least the ships of the black sea fleet in the occupied crimea are growing literally today about the operation of air defense equipment in the sevastopol area that tried to destroy, as they said in ukrainian, the drones that tried to strike there, that is i

also see these messages literally a few hours ago, they seem to have been about air defense, but i’m already ukrainian i've been trying for several weeks not to write an article about military aid to ukraine, and you know, i just gave up in the end, because as soon as i finished it in the evening, when the publication is scheduled , something new appears, and i have to rewrite it, now air defense equipment is arriving in ukraine. messages appear for several days, the most recent, at least as far as i remember , france provided two missile batteries, if i am not mistaken, as ukraine is still far from being able to close the sky, you know, we still need of course, what was discussed at the previous rammstein, namely that the west and our partners volunteered to help in closing the entire sky, i.e. in such a way as to create on the territory of ukraine a multi-level and multi

-targeted air defense system, starting with short-range systems ending with a long range of action, and today we see that literally somewhere from october 12 and somewhere after literally this period of a little more than a month, a rather serious breakthrough was made in the provision of means in ukraine of air defense, this is also the aivesti system, this is the nasoms system - this is the kratal that you mentioned, this is also a large number of manpads that make it possible to shoot down military helicopters and airplanes at low altitude, and we also expect that now the conversation was about the fact that one of oleksiy's far-range systems can become in those of italian and french production, this is also very important. in other words, we can say that now ukraine is on the way to the creation of this rich and crazy system. we have already passed the system in fact in two stages

- this is short-range and medium-range, and in turn, of course, in my opinion, one of the most important - it is long-range. and it is either sumpti or patriots or the united states military aviation that we count on. and what does the path of the armed forces of ukraine look like to the strengthening of offensive capabilities, because mainly weapons that a-a ukraine receives are defense a-a but also today i read with great interest how in crimea there er-e the russians are building some defense lines is it just a warning or are they really afraid they are really preparing they are afraid i wish you to say that it is visible as the occupiers as russian troops and the occupation authorities in the south, the currently occupied south is the occupied part of the zaporizhia region and the left bank of the kherson region, how are they wary that the ukrainian troops may move

against them and actually to the occupied crimea and even go to the crimea that is, now it is extremely noticeable, moreover, i want to tell you that today, in certain directions, precisely thanks to this support of the west, which we received , and this is various types of 155 mm barrel artillery, we already we are gaining a certain advantage over the enemy's troops, that is, the ukrainian counter-battery fight to destroy the enemy's artillery firing points gives quite good results, and of course, in this sense, the support of our further artillery capabilities is quite important, and this is precisely the weapon that makes it possible to advance separately and further and carry out the further de-occupation of the ukrainian territory, you know the question, which is hanging in the air, but it seems that i have never asked it, all the energy strikes that we talk about every day we will talk about it in the program and we will also talk about it

in a few minutes and on the defense capability of the armed forces of ukraine to what extent do they affect the defense capability of the armed forces, they do not affect what we see today if we look at the situation in the theater of military operations, the only direction where russian troops maintain their offensive potential is the east of donetsk region, it is bakhmut and it is avdiyivka in the area, if we look at luhansk region, on the contrary, the initiative on the ukrainian side is gradually not so fast there, but nevertheless, the counteroffensive actions of the ukrainian troops continue, and also in the south, russia is losing a certain initiative, that is why they are fighting with rockets and missile terror against the civilian population, but this is a rather serious and big mistake of russian intelligence and those who propose such solutions, because, as in february, the russian

military was wrong - the political leadership in the fact that ukraine will be able to quickly break down, conquer and defeat such people now they are mistaken in the fact that it is possible to simply break the ukrainian resistance with blows people, in addition, i want to tell you that our abilities and capabilities to protect the ukrainian sky are growing, if in october we shot down approximately 55-60% of rockets, now the indicator was already 70 and as soon as we receive more systems from our partners, so will the ratio of shot down missiles will grow and pose fewer threats to us here, by the way, i can also add that historians can very well explain that similar attacks of this kind simply do not work once, at least modern history has not succeeded in such to break the will of any people with attacks, and hmm, you know, there are also more and more signals

that the kremlin is looking for opportunities for peace negotiations, so far it is very unofficial, and it is still not ready to retreat under what conditions the kremlin will have no choice but to sit down at the negotiating table and one more of the 11 signals that in crimea they still hope that they will be able to turn the situation in their favor, do they even have such a chance? it seems to me that as soon as the ukrainian troops will be able to buy the south of ukraine and approach the administrative border at least with crimea, this will immediately be an indicator of when, well, my opinion is that russia may be inclined and the kremlin may be inclined to start some negotiations, but on real positions, taking into account the plan proposed by the ukrainian president, otherwise it is simply difficult to talk about it today, they want to use victory not only as a break for himself in order to create a

new strike group of troops in the spring in the zaporizhzhia direction and possibly in the northeast on the border with the ukrainian state, as for whether can change the situation, today it can be stated that if there are mobilized with the mobilization that was still there, there may still be some forces, then with the equipment they are beginning to observe a serious problem with the artillery. in your time and let's talk about energy due to russia's attempts to destroy the energy of ukraine under threat this winter , the lives of millions of ukrainians will be on the line, this is the statement of the head of the european branch of the world according to him, since half of the infrastructure of the ukrainian energy industry is damaged or destroyed, this already affects

the health care system and the health of people, and i will quote here, simply put. this winter, people are faced with the question of survival . in kyiv, according to an estimate in the coming winter , another two to three million ukrainians may leave their homes in search of warmth and safety for the inhabitants of the country in conditions of lack of heating and light more than usual, these respiratory tracts are also threatened in flu well, we should also not forget about the coronavirus, energy experts say that power outages can last until spring, and we are in touch with the expert of the analytical center, the head of the energy sector of the office of effective regulation, biodio anton zarytin. i welcome you on the air. ziman, winter is just beginning.

alarming forecasts, what will this winter be like from the point of view of energy, is your forecast real, or is it close to the average, yes, let's not come, the worst that can happen, i i really want to be wrong, but the winter will come, let’s say. this is only the beginning. the winter will be very difficult and the situation will worsen if certain measures are not taken there in the western world, conditional and with, for example, preventing the early supply of missiles, of which russia actually has quite a few left to launch massive strikes but saran missiles can help them in this, and in my opinion, russia will intensify its missile strikes with the onset of real cold weather, because during this period the ukrainian energy system will be the most vulnerable and, accordingly, the population will also

develop the most, let's say from the point of view of heating, water supply, electricity supply and so on. what are we talking about? frozen cities, uh, right away, it is necessary to take into account how powerful the help of anti-aircraft defense equipment will be, let's say, and here it is necessary, relatively speaking , to see this graph somewhere, at which point it will converge. i mean the number of missile strikes and the ability of missile strikes to damage ukrainian energy and ukraine's ability to defend its energy facilities, including because it is clear that the means of air

defense are currently quite limited, and the need for them is enormous because, for example, if we are talking only about energy projects, there are 14 typical power plants in ukraine, some of them are occupied, four nuclear power plants are six, the leader of power plants seems to be a small number, but there are more than 100 main substations, these are substations of some sort, which can be damaged. well, they can't, but it causes a lot of damage to the electricity consumption of consumers, and only for these objects, a huge amount of anti-aircraft debt is needed. as for frozen cities, well, i still hope that they are completely frozen they won't be because well, then it's just a disaster for many years ahead because

replacing all the pipes that burst from the frost well, there just won't be financial technical possibility. i still think that heat supply will be maintained even at some minimal level. but in terms of power supply, the interruptions and duration can be longer and more frequent, we have to put an end to this anton, thank you very much for the conversation, i hope to see you on the air again in a few days maybe an expert a-a of an independent analytical center, the head of the energy sector of the office of effective regulation of biodio anton zarytyn thank you very much, and now the history of the ukrainian village of chornobayivka, which became a folk legend during war, russian troops occupied it together with kherson in the first days of the war, they captured the chornobayiv military airfield, and the kherson international airport, which was very close, was completely destroyed , because in chornobayivka it became of little strategic

importance for russia, but any attempts by the russians to gain a foothold there simply turned into nonsense the destruction of the equipment is senseless, of course, for the russians, the ukrainian army systematically destroyed the russian landing forces there, moscow repeated these maneuvers over and over again for eight months at the same time, during the entire russian occupation , hundreds of people lived in chernobaivka, those who survived the occupation are now talking about searches, kidnappings, terror against the local population, a little more than a week ago, the ukrainian defense forces liberated chernobaivka, bbc correspondent zhanna bezpyachuk returned from there, when the leaves fall, there is no branch she will be free, and it really happened, as i was like my relatives . chornobayvka

tsitsa oh, the woman does not listen. positively, because if there is no folklore, there will be no life while under russian occupation, will the people of chornobyan be cut off from the world? did they not realize that their village became a legend ? they came to nobody. they came to our house, we have to protect it. do you understand how many people, disabled children, have died in ukraine? how scary it is. i would like all the leaders of the world to feel they heard it and understood that it is necessary to protect and help ukraine because it is stopping it all by force,

you understand this black boot, as i say, who came and trampled our flag. and here it was that the most famous series of this war , called chornobayivka, took place. russian troops transferred to the local military airfield had its equipment and weapons, and the armed forces of ukraine destroyed it again and again, which mined the cemetery of burned equipment of the russian federation and the place of death of its soldiers. they took down our ukrainian flag. she went to school for more than 30 years when this flag was taken down and i sat there on the benches and

they trampled on it and then we cried over it, they wiped the windows in the car with it, it broke my heart. how is this our flag for me, and i saw a piece there that was smeared in fuel oil and it was impossible to restore it, you understand? our flag flew up, and then the tricolor hung three calories. we rejoiced when we met the soldiers, we hugged people, we brought them food, we fed them in front of chernobaivka, we rebuilt shelled and damaged houses in the village during the occupation, about 30 people were killed,

local residents testify about the kidnapping of officials, searches and shootings of civilians by the russian military, young guys spitting out the store in the store, people, what are you there? they started , when did the products start like this? well, there is something to give out, some kind of humanitarian aid, first of all, people, how are people, a crowd rushed in and these military people appeared somewhere, driving by car, nice guys, just were shot for asking for cigarettes, two 19-year-old boys, people hid in basements and houses so as not to catch their eyes written martha we stood with my girlfriend in line to buy bread is coming but i wouldn't even have thought that a tank could go with that i saw the speed of my ego for the first time

in my life. so close when they fly to the store on tanks, there are another 6.7 of them with machine guns. equipment at the chernobyl maternity hospital, the russian occupation authorities and the russian military were destroying the life of the local community inside, if scrap metal and mines can be removed quite quickly and it is already being done, then it is not so easy to heal the grass of the local people from this war and it will take much more time, most of the residents of chernobaiv did not lose faith to ukraine and were waiting for the return of its flag by the army and the government. ai does not hear the woman because she loves

liberation very much. more stories as always on our bc website on our social media pages live we're back tomorrow at 9:00pm take care november 26
