we'll watch, then we'll come back here again thank you thank you person mykolaiv odesa now pre-registration for evacuation by kherson-khmelnytskyi train it's for other days for the previous one yes the previous one not for today a lot everything sounds like you people, yesterday there were 120 for today already today a lot for different dates just an explosion in kherson you can hear it all the time and even now here in the premises of the railway station you can hear artillery shells exploding, but the people are here they no longer hide from explosions, they say that they are used to it and are just waiting for their evacuation train, we have

a hot day, so it is not light, water, heat , we are in an apartment in an apartment, it is cold and we just forgive ourselves, and for this we leave , it is scary and it is bushes every day. so in my home is there, the house is definitely old. well, maybe we can do something. somehow we will spend the winter in the khmelnytskyi region. we will spend the winter in the khmelnytskyi region. we are in kherson for a little while. things will improve. it will be warm. we will return. it is very difficult to leave. i don’t want to leave home. you can go to kyiv from the railway station.

i bought it after purchasing a ticket to khmelnytskyi . free evacuation to mykolaiv and odesa. there are free evacuation buses. here we have people waiting for departure already today, that is, they have already registered in advance. and if they did not register, they must go according to the conditions here is the line, here are the people who are going to khmelnytskyi. and here is the line, the people who are going to kyiv on tickets, approximately 100, one hundred and one or 103 people. the day before yesterday, 122 people were leaving yesterday. people are scared people are worried people are crying we help them overcome and overcome stress and find a safe place together with children, even with animals stabilization measures are carried out i.e. they pass an interview and confirm their registration and already go to the platform get into

warm cars and go to khmelnytskyi and a police officer just before departure, leave already so that the roads are in good condition.

this was a report from kherson. well, we are going further. the kremlin does not leave and does not give up the maximum goals in the war against ukraine. about this the analyst of the american institute for the study of war reports that in their report, despite the statements of putin's spokesman dmitry piskov , who for the first time recognized that moscow's territorial goal is to capture four regions of ukraine, the kremlin probably does not plan to refuse to abandon the goal of capturing the entire country putin's reference to russian imperial history on december 7 and his recent comments on russia's role as the sole guarantor of ukrainian sovereignty suggest that the kremlin still plans to eliminate ukrainian sovereignty as much this would not take time, says the institute's analysis. putin this week already hinted that the war would be protracted. meanwhile, the head of the luhansk ova serhiy gaidai is convinced that at the end of winter the armed forces of ukraine will be able to cross the demarcation line of 2014 and

liberate the entire region during the next year listen, at the end of winter, we can, in principle, leave at the border, er, from the demarcation line, er, where the occupation has been since the 14th year. well, in the end, in 2023, we can liberate the entire luhansk region. the fact is that through our they are military leaders much more intelligent and more competent than their opponents from well, we will talk about the various forecasts of analysts regarding the terms of the end of the war between russia and ukraine . live with us, people's deputy of ukraine, secretary of the committee on national security, defense and intelligence, roman kostenko. i congratulate you, roman, well, putin, answer what to this question about the aims of the war, this week he spoke about the protractedness of the conflict, probably he is also preparing the russian audience for this, including how far do

you think russia has the resources to fight against ukraine and here it is important both military and human and economic. well, russia still has a resource, i am sure of this and we see that from a different point of view plus they are already forcing some of their satellites to help them with weapons, i will say that here in the kherson direction we've even seen projectiles with hieroglyphs, it's north korean or something or other, what they supply them, well, we also see belarus, now they are not exhaustive, er, these resources are inexhaustible, but they are still there to say that putin is trying to wage a war, let's say to maximum goals, and for this he really needs a lot more resources and some victories, which he does not currently have in fact, and i very much doubt that russia can still hope for any now, if we talk about the south. in fact, we secured

it there and we have strong forces and means in order to prevent the enemy from passing through the south. i think that, after all, what they said, they are now trying, realizing that they did not achieve the goals they came for, the seizure of all of ukraine, they are now trying to impose on their society and the world as a whole that the goal was still four areas, but which they also could not take, so they are now trying to bring what they have under the goal, which is directly in them , they now have these areas, they they want to submit both there and what they had, well, when they came to us, well, putin already said this week that in the capture of the territory, referring to the territory of azov, including this, well, he did not say directly, but still smiling like that and said that this is a great achievement of this war he repeated that everything is going well at the front. okay, everything is going

according to plan and it is worth listening to him again from his words. is it like that where you are now? well, if the plan was to capture part of the kherson region and then... to withdraw the troops and lose here the most combat-capable units . well, not completely lose, but they suffered heavy losses, i will say. i am a witness to the fact that i suffered heavy losses, in particular, to my airborne troops, the most combat-capable troops, the most, let's say, who were prepared with experience and realistically seeing that they are already losing them and realizing that they will simply burn them here. they took them to the left bank of the dnieper. this is what i know. i am sure of this . there were also goals, and the first was the capture of all of ukraine, then the goals. we saw how they gradually, well let's say they modernized and changed after they realized that they would not be able to capture all of ukraine. they began to press the south. because it was very

important to them that mykolaiv, odessa, and the exit to blocking the black sea mainland, the so-called novorossia, which, as they call it, is also the exit to well, to transnistria, and as a result, they came out of here with a raccoon, yes, and with a bag of bones , and they really stole valuables from museums there. points, but these gains that they took, that our ukrainian army gave them to take after knocking them out on the left bank , so we see that we did not let them achieve their goals, and now they are trying what they have to bring under it, as if these were their prices. the head of luhansk attention talks about dismissal luhansk oblast already next year, many military analysts and zelenskyi a talked about the fact that next year the war will definitely be over. well, it must end. they called it spring. summer is the period when it can

happen. it's literally six months from now. in your opinion, will ukraine be able to work together with the help of the allies, it is certain to inflict a military defeat on russia, because again, putin's statement that he made this week that russia will not capitulate , er, i would also like the war to end at least next year, but it will depend on of many factors, if russia will continue to be helped by the satellite countries of belarus, north korea, if china will help them somewhere, build missiles, give them some help , some technological things, then they will be able to continue this if no internal processes take place in russia, if the people continue to be yes, support. then russia will be able to wage a war, i won’t say that it will be a victorious war. there will be some further strategic offensives they will be able to make. because the ukrainian army is getting stronger. constantly, but the fact that they will be able to hold their

positions well, there are such fears because they have quite a lot of resources in some directions, they outnumber us in terms of artillery by many times for example, if they switch to strategic defense because it is easier to hold the defense well, it will really be difficult to visit them because in a military way, i say again. i'm not saying that we will win, but it will be difficult to knock them out if they approach and go on the defensive with overwhelming forces. we will need more weapons. we will need more human resources. in order to knock the russians out of our territories, so you know many unknowns, we can win if they supply us with hundreds of tanks, they will give us missiles that can hit there at 300 or more kilometers so that we can hit papilam airfields if they give us air defense to close the sky is one story if we, for example, we will continue to fight with those weapons, there will still be us there , they will prevail in artillery, and being on the defensive, it is a completely different story .

the position of the west on the supply of weapons if they are ready to provide us with an advantage over the russians. yes, we can really do it, but if not, then by military means. it will be very difficult to do. about the summer will somehow be related to the negotiations between the parties, we know the official position of president zelensky regarding this, that he is not going to meet with the current president putin, but today, for example, the president of turkey once again announced uh, such a meeting is possible in the format of zelensky , putin, and the ordinary russian has his own interest. but nevertheless, do you see any possibility of such a meeting as real at all? you know the probability. well , the probability that, for example, tamerlan will

offer his platform in order to somehow settle, i see, but i also agree with the president what he said that negotiations can only be at least there when russia leaves our territories, then we can agree because the expulsion of russia from our territory is one story - it is only the beginning, there will be a further question and this is also a question of the whole world, everything is civilized for russia to suffer the punishment for what it did, it should have simply left from our territory she must be punished, this is reparation, rebuild, you just had a plot, we see the condition of our people who are forced to live their whole lives. having acquired some kind of property there and then just 80 years later to find yourself with nothing because someone came there to pay it back for it, well, at least the people could be russians, those who made decisions, those who gave orders, those who carried out crimes must be punished and the ukrainian people have that see and

the whole world should see because let it down now and leave as someone tells russia to give with a safe face this does not mean peace but a truce for a while if it also plants such a bomb for uh slow yes yes slow ukrainian slow action slowing down yes, thank you, yes, slow-acting and it will show other countries that it can be done. well, if it doesn't work, just go to your borders, well, say i'm sorry and you'll live on, we can't allow this for the sake of the whole world, not only ukraine, ukraine is itself we will sort it out for ourselves as neighbors, we will live, but the world must understand that this cannot be forgiven, thank you for your analysis on radio svoboda, there was a novel, kostenko , secretary of the committee on national security, defense and intelligence, thank you, mine tactics

ukrainian territories by the russian army is similar to the actions of the islamic state. such a statement was made by the representative of the us state department, michael tira, during the briefing of the helsinki commission of the us congress. tira emphasized that the russian army in ukraine uses the same tactics as terrorists and dilu in syria and iraq, in particular, targeted mining of civilian houses and children's toys even the bodies of the killed, according to an american official, demining in ukraine is the greatest challenge for sappers of the second world war and teams for demining in ukraine is currently not enough, so the usa plans to increase assistance with the training of sappers and provide additional equipment. the state dispatch also emphasized that the presence of mines should be checked on more than 160,000 m² of the territory of ukraine. so that you understand the area of ​​the whole of syria is about 186,000 square kilometers about the smell and consequences of large-scale mines stated in his next address and volodymyr

zelenskyi, the president of ukraine posthumously awarded four policemen who were blown up by landmines in the kherson region the day before, said that russia will be punished for mine terror in ukraine , terrorists are deliberately trying to leave behind as many deadly traps as possible, buried landmines , stretches of mined buildings, machines and infrastructure, we are talking about more than 170,000 m² of dangerous territory. and subject to a missile because there is no anti-mine system that could destroy at least part of the threat, as our ppp does about how ukrainian sappers are demining the territory and what problems are faced by the journalists of radio svoboda, we talked to timor, e-e, porstruug, the head of the

association of sappers of ukraine, listen. if we talk about the scale, the scale is colossal, first, we are still with the beginning of a full-scale invasion . of our association organization in front of ukraine, we er analyzed all er there, let's say there all er combat actions, maps, troop movements, shelling and so on and so on and the like from the point of view of counter-insurgency activities, we recorded it because for us that's all there is a potentially dangerous territory that needs humanitarian intervention and demining. that was when we were looking at the kherson region because it was almost entirely occupied, and for us all of this is potentially a threat because where was uh where was this uh present uh, a russian soldier. let

's say he already is. for us, it's already a threat that he could leave something there, we understand that, and in fact they leave it all uh. therefore, in fact, almost the entire region needs, at least, not a technical survey of the territory, this is the first stage of humanitarian placement uh, they change everything here, say specifically what is changed, only toys, or are there personal things, they don’t change it, uh, the bodies of the dead uh, even their own dead bodies, they wash animals, they pass abandoned equipment, they change uh, furniture, they change uh, agricultural fields, old and stretching into the forest, the language is everything that doesn’t even actually relate to military science, because i myself am a military man and understand what engineering is, ah,

but even let’s say it’s even me. as i said, it’s even closer to which terrorist methods than to some kind of engineering matter, because there is a concept of setting up engineering barriers in front of their positions, all the er parties understand this. or passes it on later, here it is according to all the canons and rules of war, here it is, there is no such thing here. it is absolutely chaotic mining and this of course complicates everything for us, but we must understand that we are dealing not only with changes directly and an improvised explosive device that is still dangerous

for the residents, including for themselves, when they are demined, it was purchased that they exploded because the territory is very actively shelled, all of our ukraine is very actively shelled, but of course where it is closer to the front line, there are more of these here is this explosive charge and there is a high probability that it was still in a-a donbas . that projectile, when it enters the ground, it does not explode or initiate, and of course it poses a threat to everyone, first of all, to the civilian population, so i think kherson oblast is one of the most difficult situations in the world. if you look at the scale of this war in this way , the richest man in ukraine, rinat akhmetov , said that he was never an oligarch. he also said that his business was the most affected by the

war launched by russia against ukraine. in an interview with an american newspaper for washington, shot at akhmetov categorically disagreed with the fact that he is considered an oligarch, that is, one of a small group of businessmen who have made large fortunes using political connections and influencing politics in ukraine, the article is called the war tamed the oligarchs of ukraine, creating a place for democratic changes, the publication writes that during the large-scale war, the wealth of akhmetov, the richest ukrainian, fell from more than 7.5 billion dollars to a little more than 4 billion, it became known a few days ago that another oligarch , ihor kolomoisky, after the loss of ukrnafta and ukrtatnafta, is no longer a billionaire, forbes wrote that in 2021 he estimated his fortune at 1.8 billion rd dollars, while now it is only 850 million dollars well, who among the ukrainian oligarchs

? how much wealth and enterprises did they lose at the beginning of the full-scale invasion of russia into ukraine? yulia klitschko was the richest ukrainian . about 70%. the center for economic strategy calculated that the russian invasion caused damage to ukrainian industry of 10 billion dollars and almost four of among them are the activists of nat akhmetov, his metallurgical group metinvest lost the most, approximately 3.5 billion dollars, it included the azovstal plant and the mariupol metallurgical combine named after ilyich, both enterprises were destroyed during the fierce battles for mariupol in occupied russia, the city itself remains only ruins to restore the plants will be up to 20 billion dollars, the holding company says,

in recent months, russia's main attack has been on akhmetov 's energy business, each massive shelling causes millions of losses to his company the businessman declares that he will demand compensation from russia due to the fact that the war continues, the final amount of compensation has not yet been determined, but it is tens of billions of dollars. in addition, russia cynically steals ukrainian grain and our steel in mariupol, the total value of finished products, raw materials and semi-finished products stolen by the russian federation is almost 1 billion dollars i have already filed the first lawsuit against russia russia's inhumane and unjust war against ukraine put on the world agenda the key issue of capacity, justice and the effectiveness of the world legal system, which was created after the second world war to punish such an aggressor as russia, compensation for damages and receiving reparations in full. and what about ihor kolomoisky since february 24. he lost most

of his assets and because of this, he was dropped from the list of ukrainian billionaires for the first time since 2008 year, now forbes estimates his fortune at 850 million dollars. in the spring, russia completely destroyed the kremenchug oil refinery, which was part of the privat kolomoiskyi and bogolyubov group. the plant occupied more than a third of the entire ukrainian fuel market, according to the estimates of the center for economic strategy, losses for the privat group due to the destruction of mtz amounted to approximately 400 million dollars, but this was not the biggest loss of the year for kolomoiskyi. in november, ukraine nationalized his most expensive assets , ukrnafta and ukrtatnafta. the businessman refused to comment on the decision of the ukrainian authorities as he said before the end of the war, but then the company can already return to the former owner, because their assets were allegedly temporarily seized acquired the status of military property, their management

was transferred to the ministry of defense of ukraine upon the end of martial law, in accordance with the requirements of the law, the assets can be returned by the owner or by appropriate compensation of their value . business, in particular, the severodonetsk nitrogen association it was one of the largest ammonia plants in europe during the defense severodonetsk in the summer of 2022, the nitrogen plant was the last outpost of the ukrainian military, then it was compared to azovstal, now the enterprise is 70% destroyed and is under the occupation of russia, analysts estimate the loss of firtash from the loss of the plant at 70 million dollars yuliya kryuchkova radio svoboda well, about what is really happening in ukraine the era without oligarchs begins, and have they

still left their influence on the processes inside the country, let's talk with us live, political scientist oleg sean, i belong, congratulations, my congratulations, i'm glad to see you, rinat akhmetov in the last interview, i will note that it happened through one of the messengers, it was not there via skype or live, he said that he is not an oligarch, do you agree with his words, taking into account his current influence on the processes in ukraine or the lack of this influence? - first , he needs to say that he is not an oligarch, since there is a law on deoligarchization and most of his assets are one way or another on stock exchanges in the west, respectively, if he were to admit that he is an oligarch, it would have negative consequences for capitalization of the company if we talk about whether he is really an oligarch or not, until recently he really fell under the classic definition of a doctor of enrichment due to the presence of political influences , the presence of media assets, etc.
