the ukrainian weapon of victory from the first days of the invasion accepted the battle with dignity, this is the legendary ghost of kyiv on our mig-29s covering the sky, this is our stugna, the first to enter the battle on land."

own path choice move forward pass thanks to you hope bright plans for the future of the passage flowers thanks to that peace today get all this from the defenders thanks to you thanks to you this is not a modern sanatorium and not a rest camp of the center for receiving prisoners of war in ukraine meat menu church bathhouse and i follow football of all demands i am beginning to feel anger why do we fulfill the geneva conventions and behind the front line the enemy tortures our

prisoners, executes them on camera, keeps them without food and water from their point of view, we must be exterminated how did it happen that we remained human and they became racists while the civilized world learned humanism, the russians learned to fight for destruction, it was a desire to break the resistance , the century-long kerala operation, prisoners, one of the largest in terms of the number of victims, because it will stop rabid predators, a documentary project of tsn, the story of the question, may 5 at 11:00 p.m.

at the national marathon, the only news is that russia is closing the borders of ukraine with its troops. all the world's mass media dreamed of these messages until february 24, 2022. they published a video lesson in the column of equipment and satellite images of the field camps of the russians, and there was also such a photo - this is a pontoon bridge across the pripyat river to the territory of belarus in the chernobyl exclusion zone, 6 km from the ukrainian border , was informed of the appearance of this crossing of snakes on february 16. it

will disappear in a few days, then it will seem like the past before the 24th . as you know, they were conducting full-scale exercises near the state border immediately before the 24th, they carried out demonstration actions with the advance of heavy tank equipment to the state border to the line, but without crossing they reached it, turned back, played back, according to the pentagon, as of february 19, 2022, near the northern and eastern borders of ukraine, and in the temporarily occupied territories of crimea and donbass, russia gathered about 190,000 soldiers, some of them were already in front of the chernobyl exclusion zone about a week and a half before the invasion understood a very tense situation and we organizationally provided

a small number of personnel in the zone because there was an understanding that something could happen on february 23 . will start through the territory of the chernihiv zone, well, first of all, this is a quick move into the kyiv region , this is first of all, that is, the main part of the troops entered through the chernobyl zone, because that was the main idea, i already had a second goal. additional pressure by means of nuclear terrorism on the 24th personally led all, let's say so, forces that were near the settlement of chornobyl and the state border , border outfits were posted on

the main routes, i was on the bridge over the pripyat river and at four in the morning the sky was all lit up rocket launches , all red, explosions overhead, many enemy drones appeared when the active phase of the invasion began . he will enter from the territory of the chernobyl zone, that is why we monitored the situation even before they began to leave the chernobyl zone, that was for 5000 vehicles found from all directions that were directly passing through the exclusion zone of the wolf pass near chernobyl from the belarusian settlement , what is the direct road exits to

chornobyl and also near the nuclear power station , this is our populated punbenivka, the old train road was also used. will enter, well, we developed an evacuation notification plan in advance, and already after the invasion, a command was given to all heads of the organizations of enterprises located in the territory of the exclusion zone to carry out early evacuation, we covered all evacuation routes to prevent the enemy and to give time to the civilian population to leave chernobyl when we they were leaving the city of chornobyl, then on

the northern outskirts they could already be heard. and this will still be analyzed, but to carry out combat operations on the territory of a nuclear plant that is being decommissioned, but which has a lot of radioactive dangerous materials and has a storage of spent nuclear fuel , well, it is impractical in the territory of the chernobyl zone, they did not have the right to enter at all because this object handling of nuclear waste , which according to all international protocols

, memorandums and pacts, it is prohibited for use in the area of ​​hostilities, and they counted on this very fact that no one would is ready, and it is the shortest way from belarus, russia to kyiv, that is why everyone expected that they would comply with the norms under which they signed on the international plane, but they did not. well, in this case, they won because no one prepared for chernobyl due to the river already in the exclusion zone at that time there were only two bridges that could be used normally for movement and one and the other bridge were blown up and definitely this stopped the advance for a while for a couple of hours the border guards came out to say

yes, it was the extreme zones of exclusion. well, around 2-3 p.m. on the 24th, the site of any nuclear power plant is a great place for the location of warehouses with ammunition, e.e. , the deployment of manpower, and they understand perfectly well that the armed forces of ukraine will not in any case strike critical infrastructure objects , as well as nuclear power plants, nuclear fuel storage facilities, radioactive waste storage facilities, because these are colossal colossal problems, and we, a country that survived the accident at the chernobyl nuclear power plant, understand it all well it's hard to say what will happen if a projectile hits there, will there be a fire, er, or something else. a lot depends on what the weather will be like, how the radioactive material will spread . a lot depends, but hmm. if you compare

the amount of er nuclear materials that were in the fourth reactor and the amount of e-e spent nuclear fuel. what e-e is now in the storages, well, this is a difference of 10 times larger. it so happened that a completely autonomous system was installed in our chernobyl-tour information centers video surveillance for the safety of the information centers themselves, which worked for a few days even after the electricity was connected, and the main camera, which was high on a pole , was small, they simply did not notice it, and it allowed us to count absolutely quickly online the number of vehicles, the type of vehicles , the speed at which they travel and we saw that all the convoys were absolutely continuous, they even stopped in some places, but not to rest there, because they could not go forward. because the entire route from chernobyl to

ivankova to kyiv, she was completely killed by equipment, one of those who decided not to leave the exclusion zone, the director of the chernobyl hospital , volodymyr vdovichenko, together with him , there were about 10 roma left in chernobyl, but only volodymyr was in the hospital. i have already passed the age when you have to be afraid. you understand uh, i accept and stay and accept life as it is. i walked around this building at night so that i wouldn't be exposed to any trouble. hmm, in complete darkness. i know every nook and cranny in this building and the basements. i studied them. for this one

time, the same columns, it was about three hours, it started for about six hours continuously, armored vehicles and trucks, all kinds of armored personnel carriers, infantry fighting vehicles, well, tanks, you have such an influx, such a number of everything. they are going for a walk they are going stupidly to fight to kill to shoot the first thing the russians did in the exclusion zone was to terrorize civilians, so on the central streets, well , no one walked, it was forbidden to go there , further from the fire department, not along the central street the streets, no, if you were caught somewhere, they immediately put you on the ground under a machine gun, took away your phone. where did you go ? why were you

here ? well, the exclusion zone pass always saved me. in the exclusion zone , you need a pass. they had no idea that it was some kind of shift settlement . they thought it was a normal or book garden. they were surprised why we have camouflage there, there are a lot of them , we had such a uniform, such a one was similar to they took our specials there, they took away our clothes, they took away our shoes, we really needed our berets, they threw them off there, the berets mocked them, the berets changed our shoes in heaps, when they started, about the fact that it was such a big building that no one was pecking. that we shot you, shoot, find first there is no one, i am alone but the central analytical laboratory was looted in the first days this enterprise has no analogues in europe, it has been operating since 2015, then about a hundred were brought here

units of modern analytical equipment, the cost of the entire project is about 6 million euros, radioactive waste is being studied here and the state of ecology in the exclusion zone is being monitored , and these premises were of great interest to the russians, this building was taken under perimeter protection , armored personnel carriers stood on the sniper's roof . such fake information that in chornobyl there was a secret laboratory in which sensory experiments were carried out , birds were trained to spread viruses, nuclear bombs, and do anything. this

it was about this building about this about ours about our enterprise this is a modern complex which of course has the appearance of a modern laboratory and with all the flasks and devices everything is white and beautiful of course such informational emissions are calculated for the internal consumer well the funniest information i heard was when the employees of the chernobyl station said that the russians began to dig trenches in the ancestral forest. i understood that this should be used for an informational and psychological operation against the russians. the red forest is one of the most polluted areas in the exclusion zone after after the explosion at the chernobyl nuclear power plant in april 1986, a cloud of radioactive dust was carried in this direction by the trees absorbed the radiation of the rooster, the leaves turned red during the work to eliminate the consequences of the accident, the infected trees were cut down and buried in the place where they were, new plants have already grown , but staying here for a long time and more like

after 35 years, it is dangerous, it is one of the dirtiest places in terms of radiation in ukraine , well, it is possible in all of europe, since the background levels there reach 15-20 million times, if near shelter objects, now 1:2 is similar to that more so that you understand, at the same time, a safe threshold of up to 300 million gen per hour, in other words, in some areas of the red forest there is a valuable fund exceeding the permissible indicators by 500-700 times , we inflated this topic to the maximum on all international tv channels and ukrainian ones, and of course, thickening just the colors in order to explain that everyone there is a russian who digs this eye, let's try the forests, he will die, how bad it will be and so on. and you know we managed to panic so much that both russia and belarus all the public panicked , radiation can kill if the received dose in

organism will provoke radiation sickness, however, according to the calculations of ukrainian scientists, the occupiers in the ancestral forest could not receive a dose that could provoke radiation sickness, and if they do not have radiation sickness, this does not mean that they have er-er active particles that they er-er got inside themselves in the lungs they will not provoke them with terrible diseases , they will be accurate according to the available information on the territory of the republic of belarus in the gomel republican scientific and practical center of radiation medicine and human ecology is allegedly located wounded servicemen of the armed forces of the russian federation who received significant doses of radiation during their stay in the chernobyl exclusion zone when

i heard that there was some medium degree or even severe degree of radiation sickness i will say frankly i did not believe it at first and was very surprised but in two days the information came that they ransacked our laboratories and took away from them 137 samples of very highly radioactive sources of ionizing radiation from only one laboratory there and they took them away as you understand that there are specially prepared cars that train gamma radiation, and just in their military trucks from the reports, we know that they even placed in our firing position a warehouse of highly active radioactive waste, there they had four or five, i don't remember now fire positions. this is it in general, that is, if they were there, this is the first . perhaps they entered the storage facility, perhaps inspected the containers with high-level

radioactive waste. at that time, the entire chernobyl exclusion zone was a rear base of the russians for of the offensive on kyiv, from here the units went to storm the capital, they brought equipment damaged during the battle, there were dozens of settlements around the 30-kilometer zone under the control of the enemy, through them they went to the capital, the ukrainian command decided that it was necessary to block the russians' supply routes , the task was again to process and roads from chernobyl, so that the muscovites could not deliver food, fuel from above from moscow, that is , one road to ivanka from chornobyl, brothers , was blocked there. the right bank of the land was completely occupied by taksaps until god knows. we are from the left bank above rzhyshchiv on boats. it was

an amphibious operation on 10 boats of local fishermen on their contracts plus our lawyers. we moved the entire personnel of the central committee to the right bank. it started at 3: 00 at night and until about 12:00 the next day, we completely predicted all of this, and it was still in complete silence on the radio, that is, so that no one slandered in any way, we did not communicate with each other , there was nothing about the complexity of the operations. well, i am not like that. i know for the whole company the first since the 14th year that i am the second to be so defiant in cossack eh means to develop and execute. this was only one of dozens of operations that allowed the enemy to capture kyiv, the russians were gradually closed in

the exclusion zone according to the state agency for the management of the exclusion zone at that time in the city of chornobyl there was a command post of the occupiers and about 500 enemy soldiers , at the same time in the territory of the chornobyl npp there were approximately 1,000 occupiers and approximately 550 pieces of equipment, these forces held hostage more than one and a half hundred national guardsmen and about a hundred employees of the station, instead of the usual 12 hours, their shift stretched for several weeks . the management of the station understood that people had to be changed, because it was impossible to agree on this rotation with the russians for a long time. at the same time, in the town of slavutychi, near the ukrainian -belarusian border, where the chernobyl npp employees live, they have already assembled a shift those who have to go on rotation, however, by the usual way, by railway , via the bridge over the dnipro, through the territory of belarus , to deliver the personnel to the chernobyl nuclear power plant it was impossible

, it became clear, because belarus participates in this case, we will not soon go through belarus by the usual transport of electric trains. and how to get there? well, everyone knew that there was no other way but through kyiv in march 2022. it was almost equivalent to death . there were fierce battles around the capital, but attempts to negotiate with the russians on the rotation of the chernobyl nuclear power plant personnel they did not leave, in the end they agreed on the date of march 20, they were transported across the dnipro in the area of ​​the road bridge between ukraine and belarus near the settlement of dniprovske, they promised a boat but they were ordinary wooden boats of local fishermen, they had to make eight crossings across the river in order to transfer 63 people to the belarusian shore on the same day, but already in the evening from the station they transferred those emergency workers who spent almost a month here, the tides were here and there

, the russian military met us already on the shore, there were general artyshchev, as we learned, recommended himself, met at that time he was the senior here at the chernobyl npp, artyshchiv oleksiy viktorovych, commander of the radiation chemical and bacteriological protection forces of the eastern military district in russia the headquarters of this military unit of the occupiers is based in the city of khabarovsk, this is the far east, 9,000 km from kyiv, and the artists overcame all this distance in order to lead the russian units to occupy the exclusion zone of the chernobyl nuclear power plant. to indicate how we will continue to live here, there is nothing ukrainian of yours , we will take everything we need, and we took it, so that later

the station employees several times discovered spots of radiation contamination just near the administration building of the npp nuclear radiation of radiation safety for many bulbs, completely incomprehensible words for the rank-and-file - it's like a flight to mars. if they were landed there, they would imagine where they would be in a few days . another commander of the occupation garrison , major general of the russian national guard, oleg yakushev, was presented to the newly arrived employees of the station. was allegedly in charge of protecting the chernobyl nuclear power plant from mythical nationalists, and it was to him that the station employees went when they were told by phone that russian troops had surrounded slavutych and were preparing to attack the city where there are families left among the staff of the chernobyl nuclear power plant, we asked them a question, they pretended to be surprised that

they didn't know anything. no, this is a classic classic story . yes, what else could they say, no, we changed our minds and will now be fine, this means that now there will be a riot at chornobyl among the staff, so they also screwed up. too, but i know that there were stories such that if something happens, slavuty would be praised for blowing up chernobyl by our guys, they were bluffing, well , it was impossible for them to blow up chernobyl from the first days of the full-scale russian invasion, a little more than 20,000 nuclear workers in slavutych were in the deep russian rear. and although then the russian troops were not visible on the approaches to the city , the locals decided that it was necessary to prepare for the worst, the first thing to do was to form a bodyguard from

the residents of the city, there were only about one and a half hundred fighters, they took more - he says the then commander of the unit, serhiy shershen, however, there was a lack of weapons, our unarmedness, our certain toothlessness was the most annoying and infuriating that we, burly men, experienced soldiers , could not do anything, it was this that was the most infuriating and insulting that we could not do anything. 120 machine guns and several old grenade launchers that we managed in the first days, also because of the forests , it is very risky to get these weapons, well, we had them, but we decided to fight the battle at our roadblocks was the decision, we fight outside the borders, we don’t take cover, we cover them with residential buildings , we fight in the forest like real polish partisans and fought where we could, we set up fortifications on

the roads, set up four roadblocks and constantly combed the surrounding forests according to the battle standard according to the combat charter of the armed forces, the company takes a defensive line up to 1,200 m . supply of food and medicine, almost all the roads around the city were under the control of the enemy, that is why it was quite a challenge to deliver even something to slavutych, one of those who dared to do it, ihor popkovich, there were maps, there was an understanding of how to build logistics, the first route that was implemented , vehicles were found, diesel fuel was found for that moment 20-25 l so that we could leave the city and get to kyiv, and thanks to the local

residents who showed us the routes along the forest roads, we went to kyiv, the russian military occupied certain territories and us were pressing more and more to the dnipro, and in fact, these roads of ours could not live on the dosko lake. at first we walked in the unfrozen, then it froze in the thaw, then every day it became more difficult to walk because of what happened, despite all these problems, later about 15 minibuses worked on the routes today kachan of cabbage and groats, and tomorrow it is possible to have a chicken breast, and that was it. we managed to get 20 tons of crayfish. it will be finished where the city really was and lived the first three weeks of the great war. populated areas that were destroyed by russian artillery and aviation, but already on march 20, the soldiers of slavutych's infantry guard began to notice

enemy equipment getting closer and closer to the city, we did not want to drag them into the city, because if we dragged them into the city, there would be nothing left of the city, because on the approaches to slavutych, they began to 23 march, at first there were isolated shots, on the third day the enemy connected the barrel artillery, and so in the end we had to retreat, the guard company of slavutych was ordered to leave the city through the woods with weapons, so they could stay here and we we would have 100 plus posthumous heroes but is it worth it because they left the city and on march 26 there were no longer our soldiers here and we went to a peaceful protest in this square
