year will be a full-scale invasion and when a year ago, we all recorded holiday programs here, we couldn't even predict in the studio. my colleagues, today we will talk and sum up the results of the 22nd year. this is angelika 's season. hello, i congratulate uga and yegorshin, give a change. yes, but not in the morning, yegor and i ah around the clock well, in fact, many people have now come to work around the clock, the whole country can be said to be plowing around the clock , especially the armed forces of ukraine, for which we are infinitely grateful to them. well, we have chosen several topics in order to sum up the results of this year and each of us will present our topic. we will start with the battle for kyiv, which actually began at five in the morning on february 24, 2002, when the russians began active missile attacks on

ukrainian cities, in particular the ukrainian capital. the main gate for the russian invasion , it was there that the main strike forces of the russians were supposed to land, but this did not happen, let's start by looking at the plot on this topic the battle for kyiv 38 days of heroic defense and then we will discuss it the battle for kyiv became a key episode of the first stage of a full-scale war to the capital, the russian army advanced from both banks of the dnieper. the russians tried to act quickly. the main point of their plan was the landing of troops at the airfield in gostomel near the capital. once two three four five seven paratroopers invaded the capital and destroyed the military and political leadership of the country. however

, the artillery fire on the airfield, which was introduced by ukrainian servicemen, greatly slowed down the pace of the invaders to gain a foothold on the bridgehead instead of hours, it took them about a week, meanwhile, the capital was preparing for battle in the city, roadblocks, concrete slabs and anti-tank hedgehogs were installed a lot people left, but thousands of civilians from kyiv joined the terror defense and received weapons. president zelensky categorically rejected the advice of western leaders to evacuate kyiv - this is especially let's protect kyiv let's protect the state kyiv is the heart of our country and it should and will beat the russians shelled the city with cruise missiles several times sabotage intelligence groups of the ukrainian enemy broke through to kyiv defenders destroyed them a key role in the defense of the capital was played by military personnel the defense was led by general oleksandr syrskyi and even before

the start of the war, he organized two lines of defense around the city, there was not enough artillery and equipment, because the main forces were in the donbas , according to the syrian, the fate of kyiv was actually depended on the situation in the village of moschun, not far from the capital, it was of strategic importance, the russians tried to force the irpin river and seize the gates to kyiv, and the courtyard was abandoned. the capital and we defended moshtuk on the left bank of the dnieper. the russian offensive was choked due to the desperate resistance of chernihiv, sumy, okhtyrka and other cities, villages . the defenders of ukraine used partisan tactics, burned the tails of the columns , forced russian tanks and armored personnel carriers use narrow detours where they if they did not get bogged down, they spent much more fuel the loss of the russian army was

huge thousands of killed, wounded and captured heroes glory ukraine failed, and on march 29, against the background of negotiations with ukraine, the command of the occupiers announced the so-called goodwill gesture and quickly withdrew the troops from the kyiv region chernihiv oblast and sumy oblast, the russian army broke its teeth trying to capture the ukrainian capital. on april 2, 22, it was officially announced that the kyiv region was completely liberated, which means that the battle for kyiv was completed. the heroic defense was completed by the fact that the russians were knocked out from under kyiv from the entire kyiv region. oblasts later from chernihiv oblast from kharkiv oblast well, i won’t

list any further. it started with the fact that explosions were heard. at the gostomel airfield, i couldn't see whether there was smoke or not. the barrel of the house seems even better to woody. please tell me how your morning started, and later we'll talk about how important it was to defend the gostomel airfield. thank you, yehor . i live in irpen, the house is not directly accessible, but from my parents' apartment, the gostomel airfield is visible, not like that, but within a radius of 100 m, but still about 2 km to the gostomel airfield from their house yes, i woke up at home, but actually not from explosions, but from phone calls . for some reason, i slept soundly on that one, although it is

absolutely not typical for me. i also overslept on this one. i waited until four in the morning because the famous political scientist oleksiy golubutsky posted himself on facebook it will start at 3:00 p.m. on the fourth, i waited until 3:15 p.m. and it started at 5:00 a.m. and at 5:00 a.m., i was also telling the story. from february 22 to 23, i was actually waiting for the war to begin. er, the defender of the fatherland so to speak, the parents took it from you so that we all stayed together, and already from their apartment they had such huge windows that this gostomel airfield could be seen, and for 35 hours we watched it, it’s just not that you know that half an hour, but every minute there is just such an explosion babakh and already when it was dark, it was visible from this e-e ignition and fighter jets also flew somewhere every 10-15 minutes, and it

was also completely unclear to me who is it, is it russian, is it ours, or are they going to drop a bomb on our house now, we went down periodically into the basement, then rose because we have the front door was broken for some reason and i don’t know or not understanding what war is at all. i thought that right now the russian occupiers are going to enter our residential buildings and since i am a journalist i understood that well, the end will come to me, but there was danger right here, by the way, there was a scheme as you say, if not one, but the airport, the airfield managed to protect the scheme of the oil, look, i remember the danube operation, the 68th year, prague, the invasion of czechoslovakia. well, it’s one in one, like in gostomel, then the russians used transport planes from the first c in the first well according to the documents, he asked for an emergency landing, said that he had problems on board, the paratroopers sat down on this board, the advanced

group that captured the airfield, and then just the landing began, and then the 76th sat down, sat down together, took part in the entire danube action 5,000 tanks and 500,000 personnel then bought czechoslovakia in gostomel. they were russians. they wanted to do the same. the only thing was that they failed to buy the airfield. there were three days of fighting from the airfield. this whole advanced landing force was destroyed. here he flies. on these ka-52s, well, they are no longer k-50s, they fly bags, but the advanced group and the landing party flew , including on the k-52s, the newest so-called their helicopters, and all this landing party was destroyed during three days of fighting from the airfield and was destroyed mainly the airstrip in gostomel and this lightning-fast plan to capture kyiv in two or three days, it would have been implemented if they had managed to land in gostomel. thank god , thanks to our heroic defenders, this did not

happen. how do you assess what was happening? it seems to me that the battle for gostomel is one of the main battles in these first months of the war. you know, i wouldn't even be able to single out what to say in favor of gostomel for gostomel, because here we are, now that we know more about the beginning of the war... and all the details begin to emerge, then we understand what happened. well, nature is just above such an edge. everyone was there at any moment, any second, that is, if they managed to land under the gostomel, as they wanted to land in such a volume, and what did they count on they they counted on the fact that their main task was to capture the country's own leadership and that was the end of it. yes, you will try, yes, yes

. they didn't pass through sumy, if they had passed from chernobyl, it reached our irpen, it's just like that, beyond the solution, this is a big question. i'll tell you now because we, uh, you know, uh, well, she said well about the fact that no one expected and i remember that we have half of it with our tv channel in 2021, they talked about the fact that there will be an attack, there will be an attack, it will be a full-scale attack, when as soon as the intelligence in the west began to talk, we we, i personally felt myself somewhat obsessed, you know, such a cassandra, which is simply apparently, yes, which is simply crazy, especially when the officials deny it and we said it not planning the program a week before when we look at each other like that and

say, well, we will do something stupid because, most likely, this will simply not be necessary anymore, it will no longer matter, that is, because there will be a completely different reality, we will think about a completely different thing , we will not deal with this. with her on sunday, the day before, well, this week. when the offensive began, and i asked if you would bring anything there , she said, well, if the russians don't attack, why does she say that, you know that there are no options, she understands that they will attack, and after that, when they tell me, no one i was waiting. well, i think a year ago, when we were sitting here on the new year holidays, there was still no atmosphere protector, but then western intelligence began to systematically provide us with information, for example, tetyana chornovola , who worked with us then, is remembered now, she

is knocking out tanks there with stugna then. she worked with us. she went to the chernobyl zone. she went there in the direction of the streams. i.e. we passed along such and such border of moschun , if we had passed through moschun, nothing would have been saved, i will say that in irpin the advanced units of those who moved from chernobyl were not in nezgostomel, if in gostomel, then much faster this whole horde approached irpin and entered irpin on the 27th i was just in irpen somewhere plus or minus around noon, i don't know if i am. angelica remembers it, and thank god that on the morning of the 26th, the day before, i also heard myself. buchi that is, all the roads to kyiv on the zhytomyr highway, the bridge was blown up

, and this column was blocked until it reached er, irpen. it simply rested on this tiny river irpen, which is there, well, such a stream, relatively speaking, there. well, we can, well , a performance. it can develop, it can be five meters, it is there there was this river and everything and everything, the heroic river, the stump, our heroic defenders and the city of irpin, our common hero, stopped this influx. i just don’t know how fantastic it is. then, when the president was awarding the title of the city of heroes to irpin, it seemed that what, it seemed that what was not this offensive will be stopped because i just remember. i don't know if you've seen this video at all. we have kindergartens there, right next to the place where my child went and was. there was a video where a column of armored vehicles is going in russian and not stopping next to this kindergarten. with the central park of irpen ideas ideas ideas ideas where i think well how can we stop it but we managed to do it our ukrainian defenders during and in irpin as many people who directly

participated in the battles said at the time there was such a small zaporizhzhya sich there were many large numbers of such developed units of connections there was also the azov unit there was also the hort unit it was there former military special forces distance there was there was there and the special special forces of the gurmov intelligence department and everyone was doing their job well, it was like some kind of chaos if you look at it that way well, from the side, but still there was some kind of joint organization, the main goal was to prevent the russians from entering kyiv, and this task - this task was successfully completed well, you know, i was impressed by several such stories about the first , first of all, i was very impressed by the stories about people who remained on this territory who captured who literally drew there the places where to shoot the orientation for the tractor and moreover i remember when our minometer with the

phone hits it seems that from the neighboring entrance but where is this artillery calculation well i don't i see, and there are no russians anywhere at all, and then the russians themselves, who were captured, remember all the videos they say, but we did not see a single ukrainian at all. i did not fire a single shot at the afedka at all, but we were covered, covered , covered, covered. we did not see a single person but we lost this equipment there, we lost part of the personnel. that is why it is also such a higher military art. it seems to me to attack the enemy so that he does not even see where the ukrainian soldiers are. well, they saw this church in romanivska burned down. unfortunately, this romanivskyi bridge is nearby . this is me. i don't know if it's irpin or it's from my house, well, there was a great impression of the great destruction and the premises of private sector houses. well, the small river irpin stopped the russians. i don't remember that anymore where did the content of the romanovs become such a symbol of ukrainian resistance through which

people and animals were evacuated. this is a huge pile of destroyed cars, as if they were then transformed when they were just on the bridge at that moment in kyiv, they were actively distributing weapons, arming the law of terror defense, and, well , for the information of eyewitnesses, sometimes not even observing all the formalities there regarding the issue of these weapons, but this was very important in order to stop the possibility of a breakthrough by the drg and the russian military so that they know that the population of kyiv is armed ms. valevska how are you do you assess the situation in kyiv, well, there are two points that are being coined, the first ones are correct, olya said a bit of nonsense, on the one hand, everyone knew, they understood because, well, they were shouting , talking, i’m saying, and there our partners are all western, and we broadcast journalistic news. it’s clear that this is all, and experts and political scientists don't believe it. well, it was kind of strange, yes, but on the

other hand, they knew, but they didn't prepare like that. if you knew, you would understand exactly because what we were doing was said there, well, show us the evidence for this. it was formed absolutely the emergency regime both in kyiv and in sumy and in the border communities that were the first to meet or not another sun was given from trucks because, for example, on the 24th it turned out that all the weapons were hidden from the sbu and all these institutions, which were at least stable weapons, which at least knew how to use them elementary, i simply did not have an invasion there, that is, they were warned, and what was the correct name for it later?

like a heart that chose the path not to obey but to fight eh. he just stood in opposition to the strong center. he forced the center to become strong . then you understand, that is, ukrainians. i mean, now the administration and the management center were forced to become just as strong to respond, to reflect precisely the fact that chernihiv region, sumy region, and the heroic okhtyrka, as well as trostyanets, which was under occupation, and the konotopskyi district, that they stopped this column on the way to kyiv, the fact that kyiv chose the way to fight and they saw that kyiv was preparing in the kyiv region suffered uh, it was just that and it saved us since we

were there for a second, a hair's breadth from taking kyiv there for 3 today, this is a phenomenon. if kyiv had not resisted, nothing would have happened. well, of course, we can say as much as we want that partisan wars can still be waged, but the truth is that if kyiv had not resisted, ukraine would not have resisted. well, let's talk about the sad consequences. of this invasion of of course, we will talk about kyiv region. well, it is a huge tragedy what the russians did when when they left, when we saw these victims, when we saw those people who were just lying murdered on the streets of irpen, irpen, as a guest , with their hands tied, shot, tortured, a huge number of victims there, up to a thousand people of the civilian population, there were simply destroyed and shot when, well, the tragedy , these footage and this video probably circulated around the whole world, everyone understood what this was. this is definitely not a war for denazification and

what is there for a day, militarization, what is it? well, this is an ordinary genocide of people, an ordinary genocide of ukrainians in buch, taken separately, in irpen, taken separately, in gostomel, taken separately, the russians absolutely have to bear the punishment, remember how they said, we will hit the center of decision-making and that's when we see when just people they came out of their houses and they were killed at the entrance of the house near the yard because ukrainians are the decision-making centers, you understand, in russia they decide , but here it was obvious that the decision -making centers are all ukrainians, that's why they they kill civilians, that's why not enough is done when they realized that people are resisting, so why are they not happy to see that we do not meet them and do not want to be part of russia, they hated us even more, we are one more

symbol of this resistance, this is a destroyed dream, the largest cargo plane in gostomel under the time of the actual battles and the war as well as our defense of the airfield in gostomel. battles for gostomel. maria was destroyed. unfortunately , the leadership of ukroboronprom, which owned this plane, did not evacuate it, knowing about a possible russian attack the day before, having this information it was not destroyed like that. well, it certainly struck me that it turns out that they warned that they would be sitting in gostomel, and even that plane was supposed to take off. but after lunch on february 24, for some reason, not in the morning at four in the morning, for example, or the day before, namely after lunch, the truth is that the russians were counting on what will help is the internal agitation, who were waiting for someone to provide them with green street, and it didn't

work out, here it was o. including in the leadership of ukroboronprom , russian corruption was cut, because all the loot that they poured here over the years, they invested their money even stimulated at the end, but for me personally well, maybe this is my city, that’s why i absolutely want to say about it that when in the first days of the war, we often conducted broadcasts with mrs. valevska, and our mayor and anzhelika oleksandr markushin were included in our broadcasts. and who said when everyone already said irpin is captured, he says no, don't believe irpin is not captured, irpin is fighting, we are fighting for irpin, we are defending ourselves, we are not fighting with the russians, and we were watching what the lord thinks. well, how is it possible, there is a huge influx of as much equipment as possible to do we irpin is resisting, and then it was difficult to believe that irpin can fight back and that kyiv can fight back. can it, and then everything, guys, thanks to the very people who believed to the last

, knew and convinced us that no, we are resisting and the final victory will be ours , that is don't don't never lose hope and faith in your own strength resist to the last floor who kneaded whether it was cream or sour cream and then it became butter did you save yourself did you protect your life or not resist until the last russian aggression and then we will definitely win together well, let's go on this topic, i suggest that this topic be completed , finalized and moved on, uh, you remembered yourself correctly, and i want to thank all the mayors and heads of communities. these are the strong centers thanks to which the main center stood, eh, the truth is, everyone was waiting for them to put their feet together somewhere, run away, eat them there will be no local self-government, it was under occupation, under occupation. it was there somewhere, or they left, they stayed, but they worked and told people that everything is fine, we are fighting, we are sticking to it, like absolutely everyone, the date of april 2, the official announcement that the whole of kyiv region is liberated

from the russian occupiers, amen, in addition to the many military victories we had in 10 months, russia's full-scale war against ukraine, and i am sure that our main victory over russia will be complete soon, but we also had many diplomatic victories in these 10 months, and above all this our euro-atlantic integration. since the 90s, of course, we have been joining the eu and nato . this course was constitutionally established in 2019. but it seems to me that the most active work on this began after the change of power, when ex- president yanukovych fled, when it took place revolution of dignity euromaidan, we all ukrainians demonstrated our position regarding the fact that we want to be members of the european union and nato, and of course, since 2014 , we began to work actively to implement reforms and so on in this direction, also

among the main ones is the international ramstein coalition for military aid to support ukraine which has really become such a special helper for us, because 43 countries of the world gather there every time to provide us with financial military aid, and every time, most importantly, it is reinforced and this aid is being strengthened. we are already being provided with the weapons we need, we will talk about this in more detail later, and we cannot fail to mention the unblocking of our ports, the grain agreement, because if this did not happen, many countries of the world simply because they got a real famine and we could not allow this and thanks to the un and turkey managed to sign this agreement in istanbul more details about
