[000:00:00;00] and er from local citizens well, accordingly, this and the provision of medicines is also complicated. first of all, they are more expensive because they are transported from the russian federation . relatives are not available there, they are trying to convey truths and lies through the territory of the russian federation or in any other way, and it is not possible in advance. thank you mr. serhiy serhiy lysenko . we were contacted by a deputy of the zaporozhye regional council. ex-drivers a little, well, to put it mildly, a little further, because it is still kharkiv, which is the direction of luhansk region, but, well, i can say that in all three directions , the kupyansk-svatova direction, the keminsk direction, and the belohorivsk direction

the position has significantly improved. i'm not talking about an internal attack or any offensive actions on our part. no, i'm just talking about the fact that our er defense forces managed to strengthen their position, consolidate er, improve er, these are the positions that were somewhere during the last few months there are either lost or there the load was huge, it was very difficult because there were constant attacks, offensives and aviation tanks, everything was there now, to date, the defense forces are firmly holding their positions in all three directions, and what is the enemy doing , how much has he activated or is he just trying to hold his positions and trying to advance, but without additional concentration manpower and armored vehicles. well, you can see it better. as they say. well, you know, you can’t say whether they stopped there. did they go completely on the defensive? there is no such thing. they still

periodically try to spend somewhere their offensives, but to date, all the offensives that the russian occupying forces are trying to carry out are completely unsuccessful. and if it is necessary to improve the position of our defense forces, then in some directions they manage to carry out even small counteroffensive actions. well, just for in order to positionally improve the situation . taking into account the fact that yesterday the russian soldiers raised such a riot there, they were hysterical about the counteroffensive of the armed forces of ukraine , i can say that even in the occupied luhansk region, the collaborators tried to escape to collect things, well, that is, the situation in them is absolutely panicky now or with such news when eh and we are already talking frankly and openly about

the counteroffensive and during such ladies that i was yesterday after all, they are incorrigible, because instead of improving something for the people, the only thing they are trying to do now is to give russian passports, it's still, instead of improvement i don't know the construction of aqueducts there, whether it is possible to install gas or electricity to more and more houses there , they are happy to restore monuments to lenin, they build new ones, you know , you know about the soviet union, the monuments they put up guns there or something else are there any flags, well, that is, the soviet union, uh, it’s clearly from the 70s , this is all being built, first of all, a picture , they make something, they make some kind of video, they shoot people for food, they force them to walk

around the cities with huge, hundred-meter flags, but this picture everyone even the locals already understand that it's all simple and they haven't really done anything for more than a year with the collaborators, the situation is even worse because all the efforts to leave the region well, they don't quite succeed, they are turned around at the border and forced to return for now to those cities where they are engaged in some administrative work there, for food , they force the pro-ukrainian population to walk somewhere with flags, will you confirm or deny or detail the information that they have stopped paying salaries to people at first by 30%, and later by all 100%, that is, how can people survive there now with the salary of a huge problem well, in general

, it has been at such a critical level since january , that is why, in principle, people somewhere agree to go out for some kind of work serhiy haida how is the head of the luhansk regional military administration in touch with us in touch, well , we see that the connection is unstable , we hope that everything will be fixed in the meantime, but not comforting news from kherson during the latest shelling of today's russian the troops killed two women, this happened in the kakhovo district due to the targeted impact of an enemy projectile into a private house, another local resident was hospitalized with injuries , another woman was injured in the shelling of the dariv community in the regional center. that there were none, the data is being clarified. damaged houses, farm buildings, village council buildings, and cars. what is

the enemy going on mercilessly walking around kherson and terrorizing the local population? and we already have the connection with the luhansk region has been restored serhii gaidai is in touch with us in our studio online please continue, mr. serhii , as for the salaries of your last question , yes, indeed, the optical month is a huge problem on the spot with payments, uh, people are really offered there, well, almost for food, work, and work is a problem, on the one hand, on the other hand, the salary is not very good in principle, and they pay more, moreover, they force everyone to get russian passports, if a person does not get a russian passport, well, then they threaten to either fire him or simply the fact that a person will not receive a salary and this is a huge problem in the region today, we understand that, in principle , the russians already look at the region

quite skeptically, that is, if everything was good for them, then the cash mass would be did not disappear in the region, sergiu well, a couple of days ago, in particular, on the ninth of may , we, the enemy, flew into the may day barracks, yes, and there was a whole hysteria of occupation soldiers , yes, and maybe there is already some official information, they say that our artillerymen covered russian barracks recently all over the luhansk region, in principle, our ukrainian cotton is regular almost a day ago, er, the vinkovci there are not just some kind of hysteria, they are just, well, they are actually already writing such things that er, they are probably not allowed to write about real losses about real hits with addresses with a mood and inside the russian occupation troops, and the mood

is very, very much in them like uh, well, depressed, i can say, because they see how many are returned uh in those black bags and what the number of returning from the front line of those wounded who are already irretrievably they will not return to the front, they are simply disabled these are the ones that are happening, there are some statistics on russian black balls yes and how many are approximately three hundred, i can tell you that every day in every direction, a platoon, well, this is the minimum they die in any direction, well, a platoon is not there now, 30 well, but up to 20 people, it’s 100% constantly in every direction, and anyway, they know how they owe everything they are going forward anyway, they are not ready to use their weapons against their own commanders, who are thrown in front of their eyes, well , it is guaranteed that they will not return. it will

simply be a miracle for them and such manna from heaven if they are captured, in fact, because, well, it is a chance to survive. do their teams somehow have other soldiers and from the influence of uh , they are more involved in cremation or burning bodies, you know. i am sure that this sovietism remains to this day, uh, in the ranks of the russian army, that is, uh, well the concealment of the real information that is happening on the front from the pre-cambrian combatants and then went to the leadership of certain areas of the front. therefore , by and large, it is possible that in principle the kremlin government there and the kremlin regime do not even have the real situation what is happening at the front for that

so that it doesn't happen, you know how they are afraid to tell the truth because they immediately receive some kind of punishment . well, we see that there is a lot of such pr out there. beauties say one thing, cadres say another, but in reality, it's nothing, it's nobody's fault. not in place, no one comes, they are scared, they are sitting, the only thing they can do is some theses of theirs and speak. in general , you are a leader and a person who understands very well those occupation schedules, so what kind of circus is this, in particular, it is about the relationship between the brought e and by the same minister of defense who called him now prigozhin personally, so that he arrived at the position in bakhmut, we understand that this is a vaudeville . maybe he is not designed for us, that is, maybe it is not some special psor designed for our intelligence and i don’t know control of development well, everyone is very skeptical about it, but in any case, it is already coming to the surface if

we talk about this bickering between different er-er different representatives of the interveners, it is serious and when do you think it is possible to expect some kind of bloody solution maybe you remember how many of these bandit leaders in their time were lying not in elevators, but in some taverns when they blew each other up. well, i am sure that a stalemate was brought about because he lost his entire banking army there. well, not all, but most - these are tens of thousands of dead and wounded who will not be able to return to anywhere and even to normal work. therefore , the situation is really just deadlocked, because there is nothing to go back to. we understand that the army that he had at the beginning no longer exists, and in this way he wants to transfer everything to the public plane simply

in order to whitewash himself somewhere... somewhere you blame the leadership of the ministry of defense. we see what is the quality of the training of the russian soldiers, we see what equipment they fit to the front, so we can say that the same shoigu sometimes plays along with us very well and helps our forces precisely in the fight against the russian army , let's hope that he has already been recruited, even if he was not recruited , he does it stupidity, in particular, it is about certain mistakes of the russian command , this is also very good. thank you mr. serhiy for this extremely interesting and informative conversation serhii gaidai, former head of luhansk of the regional military administration, he was currently working in the information-analytical marathon of the espresso tv channel. oksana vysochanska and i are going further. international

media with oleksandr musienko, director of the center for military and legal research, glory to ukraine, mr. oleksandr, please describe in your opinion what is happening in on the fronts now and those successes, in particular under the bachmouth, which the ukrainian troops had during the last days, what does this indicate and what can we hope for further, this indicates that a large-scale, so-called large-scale offensive of russian troops , which began in february in the east, and as a result of that that he is suffocating against this background ukrainian troops have certain local tactical successes in certain areas of the front, in particular under bakhmut that’s how it is today, it must be perceived from the point of view that the enemy is exhausted in some areas

parameters and, of course, that this gives opportunities and chances to the ukrainian troops in some areas today to take advantage of this to improve the tactical position and to repulse certain areas of the front with this and they use it quite brilliantly, that is, squeezing our forces, squeezing everything they can squeeze out of this situation, they can do it successfully repulse all attacks that the enemy is actually carrying out plus give a counterattack and push back the positions of the operative and occupy certain lines, this is what is being done to this day, before this is traced what there is such a movement of ukrainian troops in certain areas that indicates that it is possible to determine certain points along the entire front line . where is the enemy's defense, that is, some of his capabilities, where more, where less, and so on, where they are more protected, where they are less protected, this is from the point of view of assessing the situation to the upcoming great counteroffensive, which you just talked about mr. oleksandr, well, there is still positive

interim news, in particular, it is about the dreamed-of long-range missile systems, the same storm shadow that the minister of the united kingdom promised to deliver to us kingdom band wallace already confirmed at the briefing that the british will provide us with these extremely important missiles, well, the key story is, in what quantity will they supply us with the stormseed and the second point. what do you think became the argument, so to speak, the real argument of what the british dared yes, because the american administration has not yet resolved the issue with e-e-tex, as for the attacks, all of them need to be developed first, probably so that they are available, then they can be supplied, so far they are not in that amount so that it could be delivered without removing them from combat duty and those warehouses that are in the united states, that is why they have only made an order like this

. the order will be fulfilled. i think that they will also reconsider their decision. months ago, the technical parameters were studied and determined. how can it be done to equip those planes that are used by our air force, when these parameters were determined , adopted in principle, the british adopted enough strong-willed and important decision is positive for us, because it was obvious that without long-range missiles, which we need quite a lot, i suppose, in the quantity that would allow us to destroy the enemy's military facilities and infrastructure in the occupied crimea and disrupt his logistics, in principle, in this quantities will probably be delivered somewhere, and it was obvious that without these long-range missiles , counteroffensive actions will probably not begin, so we agree with you. well, anyway , the key story is how

generous great britain will be for us, so at the same time we also have be aware that the enemy is also preparing various unexpected, unpleasant and criminal scenarios, rather they may be concentrated around the zaporizhzhia nuclear power station, yes , i don't know, a few days ago , varshnikov told the minister of defense that the russians could prepare a man-made provocation on one of their facilities objects, and now we do not rule out that it is possible that the zaporizhia nuclear power plant was meant, so to speak, which the occupiers consider their own, but the movement there is quite powerful, mr. oleksandr, why is the enemy can go in the current difficult situation, especially taking into account the fact that our counteroffensive is gradually developing and gaining momentum, they have already heard the truth that there should have been a dirty bomb during the liberation of kherson by ukrainian troops and they were scared not only with dirty but also with tactical nuclear weapons on the part of russia and further on, i have no doubt

that they will be intimidated by what they can do or will they blow up. let's talk like that because we often talk about disasters there and so on. well, let's talk openly about what catastrophe blow up power unit e-e nuclear power plant yes, for example, cause a leak of large-scale radiation pollution and blame it on ukraine, is russia capable of this, is it definitely capable, can they take certain actions of this nature, i think so. do they teach them? i don’t know frankly. i will say because in i don't have proper information about this , for some reason i think that no, well, this is my feeling , again, i can't confirm it, my feeling is that no, they won't do it. they will scare as much as possible, they will blackmail but he will not decide on this step, but the risks are such, of course, they also exist . we must be aware of this. mr. oleksandr , the tour of europe by the special representative for

eurasian affairs, liguey, who will go to ukraine , also to poland, france, and germany, and russia and from next week, from monday, he is planning this trip, what does this indicate, what should we expect, or maybe there will be some new alya peace plan for china, or is it taking into account the fact that the high representative of the european union, jose borel, is in fact already said that china wasted the opportunity to be a mediator between ukraine and russia, here is the latest statement of the high representative of the eu for foreign policy issues, oleksandr , of course, i agree with the beryl plan here , absolutely because china could play an important role if china took the position that china is calling for all the rest to the position of respect for the un charter and the norms of international law, it is obvious that today

both the un charter and international law are on the ukrainian side. of ukraine and this is an international crime, but they did not do it and they are actually trying to play along with russia, we understand this by accepting any scenario of a peaceful settlement , taking into account the interests of russia and the kremlin more than ukraine - this is obvious from the 12 points that were proposed. this is obvious from the rhetoric and the visit of all the calls to moscow, where he declared that he is on the right side of history and so on, therefore, for some kind of breakthrough ah, well , probably count on goti, because it seems to me that so far the chinese position is remains in the paradigm of these twelve points. at least i have not seen and it is not that it is changing. well, but the representative of china will come, eh. i think he will give some kind of press conference or briefing, or we will see by the results and we will already analyze, but i

do not expect any hopes of hopes that china can help ukraine to achieve a just peace on the basis and on the basis of international law, i emphasize this, that is, with all the resulting consequences of the liberation of the occupied territories and so on, and with what evil can come and so because he plans to visit not only ukraine, but also poland, france, germany, and russia is a kind of shuttle diplomacy. well, what can they, in particular, is it about them, what can he have in his negotiation bag? yes, because a visit to poland is also a serious poland, one of of our closest allies on the european continent i the fact is that it seems to me that the ideas are the same and they will go the ticket if we are talking about europe, they will go to the development of what was voiced by the french president macron , who visited china, was there on a visit and he

after that he declared about the strategic autonomy of europe and it is clear that this does not mean that poland necessarily adheres to such an idea , but as it seems to me that this voyage is aimed precisely at europe in order to , let's say, promote it again the idea of ​​strengthening sino-european relations ah and of course that and how can you strengthen sino-european relations, geography does not allow this to be done without ending the war , this is absolutely and that is why they are looking for ways in which europe, china can now interact in order to look for some solutions regarding russia, but this is the wrong way. you see, i do not believe that these ideas can be crowned with success now , at least until the moment of the ukrainian counteroffensive. yes, exactly, and the meeting with the pope, what can this indicate against the background

of the latest statements from the vatican about the peace plan what kind of thing exists, despite the fact that both in ukraine and in russia , they said that they don't know about its existence, that they don't know, i don't know, secret diplomacy, it reminded me of how once, in the days of the russian empire, there were no obstacles until the maltese actively acted the order at one time tried to do the same from the vatican because of them, well, the order of malta is now not in the same strength and does not have the same influence in russia, obviously, well, it is true, but i must say that we should not overestimate the weight either, we have heard statements from the pope we heard the statements and positions of the vatican trying to unite ukraine and russia during the way of the cross - that's what was happening and what was not quite positively perceived by us, that is, today i don't see either you understand, i don't see

any the possibilities of the capabilities up to the moment of the ukrainian counteroffensive because it is logical to say that we are going on a counteroffensive and will continue hostilities, continue our war of liberation, in fact, in this case, for us, it is a war of national liberation, and at the same time , we are ready to discuss some peace initiatives, this is at the level of declarations and discussion of certain positions that will not have any consequences will not have any consequences , at least on other impulses, so oksana rightly asked about the holy father, pope francis, who met her with a zorban and so on, that is , he also wants to play a more important role. so we understand that pope francis is only the personification of certain processes and, in fact , reality, possible over the black sea, as well as with by a polish nato plane, where there was provocative behavior and services of russia, the poles have already handed over

the note and that information from soon and it is obvious that
