1:30 am
[000:00:00;00] and earned money from ukrainian russian gas there. and if we take into account that the capacity of the networks between ukraine and europe is 2 gigabytes, that is, we are increasing these 700 mw three times . it will only be the beginning, thank you for your optimism kyrylo the crooked prime minister of ukraine and the head of the economic recovery center was with us good night good night but not everywhere is safe now it is spreading across ukraine air alarms and so the geography at the moment is so dangerous in kharkiv, luhansk, donetsk, dnipropetrovsk, zaporizhzhya and the autonomous republic of crimea so we call on our viewers and citizens to observe safety rules and wait for the end of the air alarm and then we will talk about russian forces russia has hidden
1:31 am
its aviation from the strikes of the armed forces of ukraine , the representative of the main intelligence department of the ministry of defense andrii yusov told about this in an interview with kyivpost, according to him , the terrorist country has placed combat aircraft on its territory several hundred kilometers from the state border with ukraine, where our shells will not reach. the invaders can use this aircraft to support the ground forces of the russian army in the east of ukraine. we have information about the presence of approximately 450 tactical aircraft, not strategic bombers, and about 300 helicopters , half of them attack located mainly on the territory of the russian federation , at least 200 km from the border, concentrated in various places, but outside our firing range , these forces can be used primarily on in donbas, a full-scale invasion of ukraine, russia can resort to large-scale air attacks using up to a hundred missiles and drones , a member of the parliamentary committee on national security
1:32 am
, defense and intelligence, fedir vinislavskyi, in an interview with ukronform , misses this. russia will try to use as much means of destruction as possible tangible for ukraine i think that on february 22-23 and 24 we should expect air attacks with the use of missiles and unmanned aerial vehicles perhaps on the front line there will be an aggravation caused by the use of aviation by the enemy, the fourth and fifth days at the beginning of the full-scale war were the most critical for the defense of kyiv, however, how ukrainian fighters defended the capital in the first days , the commander of the ground forces in the armed forces of ukraine, oleksandr syrskyi, said , according to him, all the goals set during the operation from the defense of kyiv , a very dangerous section was reached there, the shortest distance directly to kyiv, which provided passage up to shevchenko square and the entrance to the city , the situation was really becoming critical, were taken
1:33 am
all the measures we worked for almost a day for the command of the observation post of the battalion were put forward all the reserves we had at that time at the cost of incredible efforts the situation was reversed the situation changed in our favor and the enemy could not break through dmytro vasilov political consultant with us on the air greetings to you mr. dmitry so, the anniversary of a full-scale war is ahead, joseph biden's visit to poland is ahead, and everyone is waiting for a very serious signal that he must give putin some kind of ultimatum. what do you think it is? will be and i think that this will be a continuation of what is already a continuation of supporting ukraine as long as possible, and i think that two presidents and biden duda will announce that the planes that are now in poland, maybe in slovakia - it could
1:34 am
and 29 will also be transferred by ukraine in the near future, that is, already now , and perhaps even more long-range weapons , that is, what will it be precisely in relation to migs and in relation to weapons, and why was it impossible to do this from washington? well, because these are symbols, listen to us not only russia is a symbolic country, symbolic countries are almost all countries, and considering that the 24th is an anniversary, on this anniversary, there should be those statements and those gifts for ukraine that will help ukraine to win the civilized world, by the way, now we we can see that markets e.e. the prime minister of the netherlands said that the next step for the transfer of e-e weapons to ukraine will also be the transfer of f-16 aircraft, so i think that
1:35 am
ukraine will not have to wait so long for the f-16 and ukraine receives them these planes in including well, let's hope because the address that is expected from joe biden in poland, they say that it will be a serious a-a blow , so to speak, and in general, a lot is being prepared for putin on february 24, putin is just so scared, we understand that they are there now they are even conducting nuclear exercises, and they will also wave these nuclear weapons again, ah, but this is frightening, and i think that the russian intelligence has also received some information. well, i think it was a shower of uh, international warm-ups about what the russians are waiting for to new very very unpleasant stories for myself well, i think that we will hear it
1:36 am
, we will hear the statements of joseph biden in poland about these new very negative stories for russia. are ready to be the first to show such a tough position, because we remember a year ago, everyone was just waiting, uh , in the west, all intelligence understood that there would be a full-scale attack and just watched what was happening, but now we see that before february 24, gifts are already being prepared, in quotation marks, they are preparing an event for the russian federation. that is, we are already acting preventively. well, i would say that it is preventive. and now it is already a global war, what does mila harris say about it, she spoke about it in munich in in his speech, well, other leaders will also agree with the fact that there is now a global war
1:37 am
, and jose borel very correctly also told munich that ukraine should receive less applause and more weapons. full-scale full-scale aggression, everyone tried to restrain it and everyone thought about how to make sure that russia does not get annoyed, so that russia does not provoke, how to make such a big war happen, then it happened and everyone was cautious about russia because they understood what it was and huge military power and it is unclear how can russia respond to well, there is some special help to ukraine from other countries, and now that a year has passed when it has become clear what russia is, what russian armaments are it is clear that the armed forces of the russian federation are extremely seriously depleted and the only thing left in russia is really nuclear weapons, which well, we understand, there is a very clear explanation from putin what will happen to him personally personally to him if such nuclear weapons will be used and there will only be a hint on the use of these nuclear weapons well, i think that
1:38 am
the head of the kremlin does not have a special desire to use his nuclear weapons in order to simply die, he does not want to die himself, and therefore, well, there is little left in for the russian federation, only those planes that have gathered 200 km away from the border with ukraine are possible, but it is possible that the target that has gathered there is not a serious threat that needs to be feared. well, in the end, all the planes are also an additional incentive to transfer the images to ukraine, we will to hope that a sufficient number of myths will be transferred , and modernized myths will be transferred to ukraine precisely as a result of the visit to poland a-a well, what the prime minister of the netherlands said very soon ukraine will have to wait for the f16 to be received, we understand that our pilots are currently
1:39 am
undergoing training and not for nothing. they are preparing to fly on these planes. but we hope that as soon as possible, as he said about it, er, any support as soon as it is ready, in fact , as soon as it is sent to ukraine, it will be sent to us dmytro i would like to talk more about the internal er struggle or the internal front because it also continues in particular, we see that the us security and defense council is introducing new new sanctions, the security services are working on this, and here it is appropriate to mention that there was already a decision of the council , well, more precisely, the previous decision was at least by the us security and defense council, and accordingly the commission determined that the ukrainian orthodox church of moscow of the patriarchate should be called the russian orthodox church in ukraine , as the law of ukraine and the decision
1:40 am
of this special commission, which dealt with the fact that hm branch, if you can say so, say it did not break off relations with the center a-and so far we do not see any big decisions about this . what do you think and when will they appear? but i think that in the near future these decisions will be needed and already seen because, after all, what is the moscow patriarchate, it is e- well, the church that is related to moscow is also moscow - this is russia, so you will decide or you will remain some obscure moscow branch of the russian church, then in the russian church you should be called that way , or you simply make yourself an authority there some that moscow did not impose on you and become a part of the ukrainian church, and this is the orthodox church of ukraine, that is, to pass and uh, well, with all church officials, the whole
1:41 am
trap. well, with those churches that remained in the moscow patriarchate, that's why i think that uh, here the position of the state should be unequivocally, the law must be implemented and we must see the implementation of this law , the whole society of ukraine is interested in this. thank you and dmytro vasylov, a political consultant, joined us this night, i will tell you later how it goes curfew in lviv, and there it starts at midnight and lasts until five in the morning and provides for the prohibition of people being on the streets and other public places at this time, exceptions apply only to persons with special passes or certificates and do all citizens follow these rules in lviv together with the law enforcement officers of the city, our colleague oksana yasnytska is patrolling now. she is with us live oksana. good night, uh, is everything calm ? currently in lviv. good night, colleague. well, i want
1:42 am
to say that this is the night. the group conducts together with the patrolmen and actually, we started patrolling with them and in the first hour we already found several violators, but i will probably start about this later with how the work of the policeman in general begins and the curfew begins in our country at seven o'clock in the evening and lasts until seven o'clock hours of the morning during all this time, the patrolmen literally have an hour or so to rest, and even during this time they are forced to go to kindergartens of preschool educational institutions or to check whether they are not violating the observance of silence, i.e. such and such and such e work during rest is still possible and if we talk about how many patrols patrol the city and during the curfew, it is about 55 patrols sometimes if the weather is good if the weather is warm there is also a foot patrol that also has the right to check documents to everyone who lingers there after work or just walks this late, and i want to say that according to
1:43 am
such patrol observations, the most violators are precisely from friday to saturday and saturday to sunday, and these are actually more young people because it's the weekend and the most violators are in the city center because that's where they rest and walk, and on weekdays , it's still more violators among older people who return home late after work and can't get there, and the police say that their role is to because they sometimes even help people get home if it's very late, so everyone may not drive and actually this is one of their functions now during the martial law , let's hear. in general, what's the difference patrolling during the curfew at the beginning of the war and what now and how is there any difference between how people react to a stop by the police during the war actually at the beginning and now at the beginning of the war people often
1:44 am
called and drew attention to violations , what is someone going to do such checks or in neighboring houses. there we fly the light so that we can also go to sleep the check because people did not understand what was happening and how to react to certain actions that were not clear to them, so there were enough of such calls now it is probably already the same as in the 14th year, when they started their work on people , they reacted quickly, they were afraid, they drew attention to it, and with a certain time, they become accustomed to it, and they already turn less then , accordingly, at the moment, to our challenges to line 102 does not happen, as i said before. literally in an hour while we were patrolling together with the police , approximately 5-6 cars and two pedestrians were stopped, and that's mostly it was only the beginning of the curfew, accordingly
1:45 am
, some simply did not have time to return home some went on urgent business, and among the drivers who were stopped was serhiy, who was returning, as he told me, with a very important mission. brother well, he helped and draw up the european protocol , we are staying in place we will continue to patrol together with the police and will tell you about the following cases, we hope that the night will come calmly and there will be no malicious violators, colleague, thank you so much we are waiting for updated information from lviv in the next hour. it was our colleague oksana yasnyska who told how law enforcement officers are patrolling the streets of this city. meanwhile, the air alert map has changed from dnipropetrovsk in
1:46 am
zaporizhzhya oblast to donetsk oblast , there is only danger in the nikopol district of dnipropetrovsk oblast there is a threat art shelling be alert well , luhansk oblast traditionally remains in the red zone and there is a danger to the autonomous republic of crimea well , we can guess that february 20 is a day in ukraine heroes of the heavenly hundred today we honor the feat of the participants of the revolution of dignity who died defending the ideals of democracy and the european future of ukraine, the heroes of the heavenly hundred 9 years ago showed courage and dedication, strength of spirit and resilience and influenced the course of history from february 18 to 21 , 2014 in the center of kyiv, security forces of the yanukovych regime shot peaceful protesters during these four days, they killed 79 participants of the revolution of dignity, the largest number of casualties was february 20, nine more protesters died
1:47 am
during protests earlier than february 20 a turning point in the course of the revolution of dignity, because during the next day, yanukovych fled from ukraine to russia, the southern ukrainian nuclear power plant is under threat, russia once again committed an act of nuclear terrorism during the morning enemy missile attack, your cruise missiles flew dangerously close to the nuclear facility. to aim at the reactor and cause a nuclear catastrophe was too high, according to the message to energoatomia, which appealed to megate with the demand to take all possible measures to stop nuclear terrorism of the russian federation, we would like to add to our broadcast mariana boujerena, senior researcher at the belfer center of the harvard mountain kennedy , mrs. maryana . greetings. good evening .
1:48 am
-m objects, then potentially what threat can it lead to? those actions that we see now, the russians use this and rocket flights over nuclear power plants, and this is absolutely incomprehensible behavior at the zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant. well, you know, first of all, a robot ukrainian energy workers, and in particular nuclear workers, this is extremely friendly work, this is an unprecedented situation for so many nuclear authors to find themselves in the middle of a war zone, a zone of military events, and first of all, these are the operators of the zaporizhzhia npp, who work in very, very extremely difficult conditions, again, this is such a thing in history that we never saw such a thing that the nuclear power plant was captured by the military occupiers of the enemy and by force, and under these conditions it was necessary to maintain
1:49 am
the safe state of this nuclear power plant e over - it is obvious, as you say, there are flights, there are disconnections of high-voltage power grids that feed the security systems, and the cooling systems of these rectors, we have seen this since march again. there was an escalation in september and now, in addition to the fact that you can aim russian airstrikes and targeted airstrikes can damage some objects at power plants at nuclear power plants , as well as the power grids that feed them, and the most massive attacks against the energy system of ukraine against the critical infrastructure of this against our network and against the ukrainian electrical network, they are in themselves extremely dangerous for a country that depends so much on nuclear energy to such a large degree
1:50 am
on nuclear power, more than 50%. now it enters the power system from the generator, the generation of electric energy by nuclear power units, and therefore when there is, say, a complete blackout , as was the case in ukraine sometime in october. power units if the electricity in the network is not restored in time, that is, there are many levels of danger of operation and operation of safe operation of these nuclear power plants, the power plant in the conditions of military operations, the russians have recently been draining the kakhovka hpp, they are draining the water to a critical level, leading to what disaster
1:51 am
this can lead, because we know that this water is also needed for cooling and the nuclear reactor, well, it is actually also in the complex of threats, first of all, water is needed to cool the reactor, and a place where you can dump er this water that circulates through gyrators and er spent fuel holding pools yes er and this whole system it depends on you how can you if we look at all large nuclear power plants built near a source of water this is a very necessary necessary element a- and which ensures the safe operation of nuclear power plants, again, let's say, if access or the arrival of this water is lost, you can feed these systems, let's say from some hose, conditionally speaking
1:52 am
, but this is not that is, these are some temporary temporary options, and therefore the danger remains a high danger, and the same e that the cooling systems will be damaged, they will not be able to be restored in time in the conditions of war, and then the reactor will overheat, an accident may occur in the very a active zone of the reactor in the same way, fires can also happen in swimming pools , working out can affect the russian federation. it is very difficult to influence the russian federation on the russian federation now. well, let's be honest. what a megathet this international organization was. as the general director, uh, rafael grossi said. he represents everyone, including
1:53 am
the russian federation, which is a member of the megathet, uh, no. well, i don't want us to point out somehow don't create the wrong impression, you obviously have to do a lot of work, including in ukraine, including in zaporizhzhia , its representatives seem to be already starting from the month of august until the end of august . there are a lot of restrictions, and that's why there may be some negotiations going on behind the scenes, maybe some of which we don't know about, which are not reported, but there are some international levers, some are there for decisions or sanctions, they are limited, they don't work, the only thing is well, i think it is possible and worthwhile to do this, and start very actively insisting on sanctions against russia, which is part of this
1:54 am
occupying force, zaporizhia npp, now let's look at this situation from the other side. the kremlin's stick, russia may resort to increased nuclear blackmail in order to disrupt the visit of us president joe biden to europe . this is reported by the ukrainian military intelligence, the aggressor country has begun large-scale exercises of strategic nuclear forces . sea ​​and land-based , as well as air-based cruise missiles , we will remind you that joe biden's visit to europe is scheduled for february 20:22, and are they perceived you know these threats in the west, maryana. well, these are the words about the exercises that are starting now. they are somewhat exaggerated. i think they are regular
1:55 am
exercises. they are often carried out by all nuclear countries, including russia . it is obvious that here this is not the time, which coincides with biden's visit . well, what will russia do? well, they are conducting training there. in a way she has the effect on this and that side on this caution with which the measure considers the military aid of ukraine, it affects more the time of the discussion and the provision of this aid than the nature of the provision in the end , after all, in the country they single out this and with this and this system the weapons that ukraine is asking for yes, but it is always with this delay, and it seems to me that this delay is of its own and is explained
1:56 am
by the fact that here in the west they are sitting and very carefully considering how much the provision of certain weapons systems can lead to escalation of the conflict is also present in this case there is a certain effect in this, there are certain results of this nuclear blackmail , and we have a minute left, how far are the nuclear risks in general now, they are in the stage of control, in particular, how far the west foresees them, well, there is a caution, there is always a thought in the west about this, that russia is still a nuclear state, and i think that there is less . they are worried about the fact that russia will somehow dare to use nuclear weapons against its own west or nato countries, which are also protected by their own weapons
1:57 am
of nuclear deterrence. probably low, but still more than the use of some strategic nuclear weapons by russia against nato countries or the usa, this is the use of tactical nuclear weapons by russia against ukraine. ukraine is not protected by any deterrent and deterrent weapons, either by its own , or by some deterrent that is spread by an ally, how it spreads let's say the usa is a nato ally and here what will be the results for you one addition although the previous prime minister of great britain when she was asked about the potential use of nuclear weapons by russia she was categorical that they will give an answer almost symmetrically. well, it probably
1:58 am
is . only litra said about a symmetrical answer, what will be the answer. this is what biden also said and blinking said. because well, that's uncertainty , strategic uncertainty. it has its advantages, there is room for maneuver , there is room for choosing this and that answer, and on the other hand, i'm sorry, we have to finish and a field for reflection in the kremlin, so what can this answer be so that they also understand the times of fear, big eyes maryana thank you maryana bodzherin, a senior researcher at the belfargan center of the harvard kennedy school, was just with us in odesa oblast, citizens continue to volunteer battalions of the guards are advancing in parallel with the formation of another military formation in the composition of the black sea sich battalion of the armed forces of ukraine. who can join it and why are the odessans going to
1:59 am
the assault brigades in the material of tetyana bazhanar conscripted citizens of ukraine aged 18 to 60 who are on military registration, as well as internally displaced persons and those temporarily living in the territory of odesa region can join the ranks of the voluntary formation in the black sea sich, the personnel of the future battalion will undergo military training according to modern standards nato countries and in the future will protect the odesa region from the invaders. with equipment and weapons, the most important thing is preparation, preparation with the participation of instructors who have combat experience, for example, ato oos or, of course, this full-scale war , that is, to the full preparation of the battalion for the use of people, no one is going to send people around, firstly, it is not effective, and secondly, there is no such approach the plan is to recruit almost 600 soldiers to the black sea sich battalion. the provision of this
2:00 am
unit will be carried out at the level of the units of the armed forces. at the same time , the formation of the guard brigade is also taking place in the odesa region. of the offensive, the first two thousand volunteers had already signed up for the ranks of the assault units, and the first thing was to protect their mothers safely, and then, well, somehow it went naturally . well, then a couple of friends died in the war, unfortunately, and now, well, it is not only about this, but also about protecting the state in 2014, my
