[000:00:00;00] in the extremities and even today in the moscow region they closed the airspace above the vnukovo airport because they thought that a ukrainian drone might arrive, be right to be afraid and you take care now, your attention is a news release from my colleagues from the ukrainian editorial office of bbc news, we are watching together good evening we are from ukraine from ukraine live from london i am iryna taraniuk and today we are talking about the crisis in sudan and the consequences for the region of the world and the war in ukraine behind the armed confrontation in sudan the battle for power between two ambitious generals turned into a battle in the capital, hundreds of people were killed, two branches of the sudanese army are fighting, and in the middle, unarmed civilian foreigners are looking for ways to leave the country, and while the western countries are evacuating with charters and their

diplomats, who will take the ukrainians out of the area of ​​hostilities, but what started the story that already which day hides the attention of the whole world that in the capital of sudan , military aircraft fired at the capital airport in the center of kherson. it became known on april 15, but the origins of this conflict are older than four years ago, the military was removed from power the sudanese dictator omar bashir, whom the international criminal court accuses of war crimes in darfur, ethnic cleansing after mass protests against the coup, the military promised to transfer part of the power to civilians, signed the so-called constitutional declaration, but the military did not fulfill its promises and seized power again, the current crisis in sudan was the result of the conflict between these by two generals muhammad hamdan tagalo known

as hemedi and aptel fatah maiburkhan commander of the operational support forces by something as a model of rapid response and the commander of the sudanese army, the ukrainian company pereveznyk skype reported the damage to at least one plane in khartoum, and today the ministry of foreign affairs of ukraine assured that it keeps the safety of ukrainian citizens under special control and already has lists of people for evacuation. who and how could we help in this matter? let's talk later, and first about how the countries of the european union do it, the united states and great britain. a bvc source in the diplomatic circles of the european union reported that over 1,100 ships were evacuated this weekend according to estimates, there were 1,700 eu citizens there, in total dozens of countries have already begun to evacuate their diplomats and their citizens out of cardboard, the difficulties of evacuation add that active hostilities have not stopped for 8 days in a row, there is no water and electricity in the capital, there are

problems with communication, the correspondent of the african edition of the bbc told that residents of kherson take drinking water from the nile river, according to him, today the streets of the capital were shot by the british, of whom approximately 4,000 in sudan were instructed by the folinofis to stay in safe places inside in order to not to come under fire from the parties to the conflict, the secretary general of the united nations, the united states, the european union, and great britain called on the sudanese general to cease fire and declare a so-called humanitarian ceasefire, but such calls have so far been in vain, one of the first victims of the armed conflict in sudan was three workers of the un food program ago the organization of the united nations has taken hundreds of its employees and their families out of khartoum, however, the mission is not closing , 16 million

people depend on humanitarian aid, a third of sudan and while the generals are fighting the displacement of the country's civilian population is getting worse between bombings and shootings in huts a number of risky rescue operations among those who after a week of terror were successfully taken out by the british embassy staff with their families more than 1200 people took part in this operation it was risky and very dangerous but despite all the planes we sat -130 and a400 failed to get to the territory of ukraine to pick up our diplomats and deliver them to a safe place. and before that , american military helicopters landed on the building of the us embassy in sudan to to evacuate almost a hundred people, france took out its diplomats, although their convoy came under fire, the employees of the british embassy also had to undergo a deadly test on the streets

of artum. and here is a video with another convoy of cars heading to the port on the red sea coast. protocol, foreign diplomats are evacuated in order of priority, when i talk to people i feel panic growing among them both sudanese and expats are desperate to get out, they fear that when the city will begin to empty or it will become even more bloody, then a terrible scenario awaits those who stand at the end of the queue. the minister of foreign affairs of great britain was asked why diplomats have priority over emergency citizens who may find themselves in a trap. why did the diplomats who worked in the british embassy in the hut not be able to do their job function due to the fighting in this city and to continue to protect british citizens we will of course increase our presence in the region but so far there

is no hint of a ceasefire on the contrary, here is a motorcade with the leader of one of the two warring sudanese formations, armed men who are holding their entire country hostage and threatening other regions already engulfed in war, but the only relief , at least for some, is that these french diplomats have successfully arrived at a military base away from sudan and its dangers. whether there is a russian trace in the crisis in sudan and what is the role of the private military company wagner in the current hostilities, this is what journalists from the bbc investigative department tried to find out about the involvement of the wagner family of the generals' widows no, but the fact that all parties to the sudanese conflict at one time cooperated with the kremlin are evidenced by the following facts: a number of bilateral agreements on cooperation, in particular, the construction of a russian naval base in port sudan and the permission for the russians to mine gold in sudan were signed in moscow by the former ruler

omar bashir and on these photo from pro-russian telegram channels russian wagnerian instructors train the sudanese rapid support forces, namely they controlled the gold deposits in the south-west of sudan united the states believe that pmc wagner in sudan participated in semi-military operations, helped preserve the authoritarian regime and exploited natural resources, these are the words of the former united states minister of state from the body of germany, although the conclusion of the experts interviewed by the bbc in the current confrontation, the russians do not support either side or both and let's talk more about it with an expert , contact us candidate in political sciences head of research programs of the non-governmental center of the ukrainian studio of strategic studies yury oliynyk mr. yury vitay first rather than talking about the significance of the shrinking events for the region and more broadly, a few words about what is actually happening there. how would you characterize the events in that country that it is a coup, a rebellion , an internecine war in a nutshell - these are elements

of the democratic transit that was delayed because all the events began in the 19th year, after mass demonstrations against the dictator omar bashir, the army removed him and basically promised people to make some reforms, it all dragged on, gradually, the revolutionary wave was dispersed, but the army often did not perceived by the people, it also began to split within itself and a conflict began with different e groups within this pound. and that's all, of course, external players and russia, and now egypt, we see a partial unification of the arab emirates. but, of course, these are internal reasons and we see that not all parties really cooperated with the kremlin. now, after all, it is more about moscow's

rapid response forces, because how much lately is burkhan, a general who is... the representative of the army, he tried to somehow have separate connections with the usa and with egypt in recent months, he did not really want to hand over this base, although we say that egypt also has strong russian interests, but all these people who are now fighting among themselves, they came to power, this group were a single group in october 21st during the coup supported by moscow due to the fact that the previous group of soldiers, which was, moreover, they were more focused on turkey, and it stopped the construction of a russian base in the neighborhood of valeriivna about the role of the communist party wagner, i want to talk wagner, the wagners all supported bashir at one time, yes, when there were democratic protests, then they supported the coup in october 21st , literally fresh information from the dryzhdarian

united states secretary anthony blinken said that he was overwhelmed by the possible involvement of the group in the events in the country, let's listen deeply now are concerned about the participation of the wagner command under the leadership of prigozhin in the events in sudan and many other african countries , the structure of whose actions bring even more deaths and destruction so about the wagner command journalists from the american cnn found routes for the export of sudanese gold overland to the neighboring central african republic, where the wagnerites control uh, also mineral deposits , yes, the bbc investigation and the bike evidence that the russians trained the sudanese military, we already said that the russians support none and possibly all parties, but what in your opinion, which side of the current conflict is closer to them, general

burkhan or khameti or the one who will win, who will deal with the russians in your opinion first, and the same forces are currently serving of rapid response and the facts that there are already certain weapons supplied to them, but a limited number. because in fact there are not so many weapons in africa, well, the wagomons are signally these wagnerites, but sudan is the usual transit base for them, because all the accumulated resources are in the central british republic in the neighboring countries, of course, they are the main way of export - it is through the airports of sudan, that is why, of course, i think there were attempts to transfer it to egypt, which became a fear that there will be an increase even in the united states , of course, this is a factor, which uh

the russians worried about these mercenaries, but despite their attempts to find alternative routes through cameroon, we know that some gold is supplied from the tsar of the central faroe republic, still the main route remains sudan for russia in general and i and for china, which is behind russia , a sudanese from a traditional important ally on the red sea is the exit to the battalion of the mother strait to the soviet channel. i think they have not yet said their word, not only russia, because they have little to say now without saying the word chinese, and i think is support for those forces that will win. and whatever i do, the boys will show more loyalty. i think it will be felt at the moment, but still, at the moment, the sudanese crisis is more of a regional crisis , soaked neighbors and ethiopia and egypt. thank you . well, let's talk about the ukrainians. following a number of european countries, today the ministry of foreign affairs announced

its intention to evacuate ukrainian citizens from sudan, how many people are there, we only talked about the skype staff when it all fell asleep i don't know how many people, it's a struggle in the case of hundreds of people, it's not only people who are officially registered there , a lot of our people are very many and already for one year they are also advisers to certain enterprises and in particular was constant, despite the fact that the court is not a friend of ukraine and at the time supports russia on the economic level , the presence of ukrainians there was small , but it is very important here that there is a fear that if this instability, the russians can use it through the so-called features through their agency to

to try to catch ukrainian recruiters er that representatives who are connected to the citizens of ukraine and take hostages to paint them some er unknown things as if they were doing so of course for us the removal of ukrainian citizens is the most important not only because it is a hot spot but because the russians can take advantage of them and buy their captives somewhere, well, as the spokesman of the ministry of foreign affairs said today , information about the routes and partners for the evacuation of ukrainian citizens from sudan will be made public as soon as it is safe for them that is, i do not completely rule out that we will learn about their evacuation after the fact, yuriy oliynyk was a guest on our broadcast, thank you. so, among the foreigners who were in the war zone in sudan, as we already said, there were ukrainians, they are being evacuated by the ministry of foreign affairs of ukraine together with the embassy of ukraine in egypt

i have been to sudan itself, there is only an honorary consulate , the department has formed a list of people who should be evacuated and that is how we end this short broadcast about the crisis in sudan and say goodbye to you until 9 p.m. kyiv time tomorrow take care of yourself well pain can become an obstacle stairs not with my knees for knee pain try knee cream swelling and improves joint mobility

? they were preparing massive strikes on moscow, but they changed their minds. at times in the occupied crimea , there were explosions in the sevastopol bay . the ministry of defense of the russian federation reports on the destruction of ukrainian drones. and the general staff of ukraine announces the cotton season on the occupied peninsula. that targeted the drones, how do the residents of sevastopol react to such news after the information about the advance of the barrage on the left bank of the kherson region, russian troops intensified the shelling of the left bank , the operational command of the south announced the information that ukrainian forces took up positions on the left bank of the dnieper, the institute for the study of war spread interesting about such conclusions analysts have come to the conclusion after analyzing video materials with geolocation and text messages from russian military personnel that footage published by

a kremlin blogger shows that ukrainian the forces took up positions on the bank of the dnieper north of oleshok and advanced to the northern outskirts of the settlement on the route 97 well, and also to the west where from the settlement of cottages at the same time the general staff in the information from western analysts did not confirm but did not deny, they only noted that the situation on the left bank remains difficult natalya humenyuk, head of the joint process of the operational command south , joins our broadcast ms. nataliya my greetings good evening glory to ukraine i congratulate you as a hero glory to ms. nataliya we remember that you called for a regime of informational silence, so of course we adhere to this regime, but we want to ask you what is happening in general now in the kherson region, did the russian army increase shelling directly on the right bank of kherson , yes, and we noted this over the past day , the intensity of the damage, in particular, in

the direction that was indicated in the report of the institute for the study of war has increased very significantly, and it was an attack and from the use of cabs, and unmanned attack devices of the lancet type also worked from there and this caused a lot of damage, because local residents lost more than 30 residential buildings, a school was hit , and a lot of people were injured . in particular, whether the russian troops are building new defense structures, what are they preparing for there, are they continuing this process , they have already been going on for a certain amount of time , it is not such a simple process, indeed,

the arrangement of defense structures they are building new defense lines, realizing that they will need them, they are continuing the engineering of those lines they already have. and all this is also happening in the conditions of constant maneuvers of the units, because they are aware that we are working . we continue the counter-battery fight. it is as safe as possible for the local population so that the damage concerns only the occupation troops, this complicates this work that they continue to hide behind the locals, moreover, it is very important occupied precisely with the evacuation of local residents, since they are trying to clear the strip directly on the shore from the local population in order to equip minefields and their defense lines there , which they expect they will need something

. well, what about the terror of the civilian population , or are they inventing some new methods are they using the same old methods now ? is it an innovation of the special ones? citizens and try to convince them, let's say, with their own methods, using methods of torture, including trying to find those who help, who are connected to the forces of the resistance movement, they continue to blackmail people by depriving them of social benefits and access to humanitarian aid in the conditions of occupation. very significantly in exchange for the same passporting. well , a little earlier today, you postponed the cotton season in the temporarily occupied

crimea. it is possible to implement it with the available opportunities and resources as well. as they say, we can afford a parallel project, ms. nataliya has started a parallel project. below, i can’t help clarifying with you today, but they tell me that the deepstate map has changed a little. general staff and the ministry of defense, what could this mean for the time being, the loss of a reference point, for sure, if they really focus on official messages , mrs. natalya, thank you very much for joining the broadcast nataliya humenyuk, manager of the joint process of the operational command, the south was in direct contact with us , thank you. well, the russian military pulled up

a tank brigade in the avdiyiv direction that they are preparing to use for an assault. according to him, in the avdiiv direction, the russian army began to increase artillery shelling and in fact returned to the number of shelling that was in february, what is the current situation on the spot, we will ask vitaly barabasha of the head of the avdiiv city military administration p. vitaliy my congratulations glory to ukraine the hero glory to the heroes a-a p vitaliy what is the situation in avdiyivka actually, have the invaders stepped up and used the tank brigade mentioned by mr. let's say so. the use of technology is involved. the technology is so massive. so far

, we don't fix it. we don't see it. most likely, well, it doesn't allow them to land, but something more. let 's say so. the use of armored vehicles, therefore, there is indeed intelligence data that they are accumulating a certain, let’s say, number of armored vehicles, but let’s say their use so far is not massive yet, but today dmytrashkivskyi reported on almost half a thousand shellings per day and noted that this is actually the number at the beginning of a full-scale invasion i want to clarify this is the largest in general in terms of the number of attacks since february 24, 2022 and in general, if we talk about dean conditionally and what conclusions can be drawn, uh, frankly speaking, well, let's say now is not the peak of the number of shelling, the number of assaults, as it was in february, there were much more of them in february, according to the assaults

, yes, there were definitely more. now there are 30-35 of them per day, and in february they recorded 50 and 60 per day specifically in donetsk in the direction of uh, due to the number of shellings, there were also more of them, really, but well , oleksiy said about the number of shellings in the donetsk direction as a whole. the number of shelling also increases. well, for example just a few days ago there were up to 200, then in the past day there were more than three hundred of those shellings. there really is a certain intensification . well, let me repeat, this is not the peak in february. there were certain days when it was really much more, up to 500 , only in our direction there were shellings. when i spoke last time, it was at the end of march, and you said that there were still half a hundred children and

more than 2,000 civilians left in the city at that time, what is the situation now after a month, have people still left a-a little by little , people are leaving now, they are staying in the city, well let's say there are two figures of the number of people, there is an official one, and there is, let's say more realistically, officially, it's not that there are any indicators, by the way, it 's the number of people who receive humanitarian aid, that is, when they receive humanitarian aid, they write a statement and so counting these statements, we understand how many of them there are more or less realistically in the city, but there is a certain number of people who, in principle, do not go to receive humanitarian aid at the beginning of a full-scale war, this is the official 1800-1787 people, ah, well, plus about 50 more 70 this people who fundamentally do not go receive humanitarian aid at the expense of the children , in fact, when we spoke with you, there were 46

children at that time, if i am not mistaken, and at the moment there is only one child left in the place , we cannot find her yet, her parents are hiding her, they are hiding her well, if we find anything, we will take it out, all the more so we already have a really forced evacuation of children. it has already been agreed upon, it has been accepted, that is, as soon as a child is found , we will immediately take it out, for the example of the last , probably, uh, families 10 this is exactly from which of the the children all had the same story, they all hid their children, they all hid them, they didn't want to leave, they didn't want to take the children out , they found them, they took them out .

at people who are not very familiar, just to avoid going to, you know, let's say to safer areas not only in the donetsk region, but also in ukraine in general . went to some er non-existent relatives who do not understand where they live and who do not have telephones, well, that is, such nonsense is sometimes told, well, the same polonsky passions as we find. this is true, and the police work and volunteers work, and we go to certain tricks to find them. well, to be honest, there are local ones local residents who, er, you know, are not indifferent even to other people's children, because as they say, they don't have their own children, especially in such circumstances, and they tell us where the children are, because er, well, if it weren't for the local

residents, they mostly help us of course, we work and the police work constantly as a search engine, and when we find everything, well, for a certain time, a certain time when we had not yet agreed on a forced evacuation for the children , we persuaded them by spending them there with them , well, sometimes several even dozens of times, all around us and the police volunteers who are involved in evacuation help us and this well, it didn't work, mostly they persuaded someone to go, well, the majority didn't go after it was already understood that there would definitely be a forced evacuation and uh avdiyivka is a very small town, regardless of the fact that there is no communication , relatively speaking, there are no social networks, there is nothing like that, rumors spread very, very quickly, as they say, the gypsy radio works, and when they understood

everything, what will have to go, we will definitely find everyone. at that moment there was a greater number of uh families with children there , i don’t know, under 40 people probably left according to the legislation, we do not have the right to separate children from their parents according to the decree of the cabinet of ministers. at least one of the parents must go with the child, and that is the last . so, when the forced evacuation was already working. so, when we found everything, we did not leave them until that moment. they didn't get into the armored capsule anymore, they went with us because before that there were such options, give us time, we 'll go there in two days, or let 's collect things tomorrow, follow us, come by tomorrow , the police or the white angels are coming, and they already
