what happens behind the scenes , how this competition is organized. and isn't it scary for the ukrainian host yulia sanini, who hosts this competition , isn't it scary for her to be on that stage? this is the heart of many countries. this is the heart of the eurovision song contest. the stage of the liverpool arena steals emotions here, they dance, sing and even cry during the performances. let's go and see. the liverpool arena accommodates more than 7,000 spectators. this is where they watch the show. and the participants are sitting on the sofas and waiting for the results after their performances , and everything is happening live. the final will soon be here in the arena, the winner of eurovision will be announced and from this year liverpool will be held on behalf of ukraine on the stage ukrainian yuliya sanina she is one of the co-hosts of the competition

let's go talk to yulia and talk what there is happening behind the scenes ilya hello hello how are you? and i don't know how to describe it in words because the broadcasts have already passed and the grand final and the most important broadcast are still ahead and i want to keep up the bar eh i see the comments i read all the comments from ukraine a- and i like everything well. everyone is in a good mood. i want to hold the final in the same way. i was just on stage , it is so big, there are so many cameras, and i imagine that it is a live broadcast of hundreds of millions of viewers, you are not afraid there. well, i am used to big stages , on the contrary, i love them very much for me the easiest - it is more difficult for me to perform in front of a large audience, when there are few people in the hall, and i feel this energy, this message. moreover, on the live broadcasts , the audience is so cool, they are all dressed in some kind of festive clothes, costumes

, all the flags are lit up and they keep their word and support ukraine very, very much. as you can see, about the suits, i can see your suit. let's go and see. can i touch it? why was yulia sanina with us? she can also show you the second semi-final. it's gud, a ukrainian brand, i have all costumes during the apology - this is ukraine here we are e no this is we do not use leather - this is eco ecoskin what is the right way to call it lakus kucha well this suit was the first suit i had it was such a classic rock burning hmmm well that is such a stagement was from a ukrainian presenter and the second costume is more eurovision eurovision style we kept this rock rock style rock message i basically it was in my a-ah well my request conditions for me to keep myself that is i ukrainian rock

performer front women leader a-ah me i want to be like that, although at the grand final you will see something a little different in the other direction , it will be more of a braid, this is hard, and then it will be a braid, and together with us germaninov, the creative director of this year's eurovision song contest from ukraine , tell us what we will see in the final, what are the non- expectants who will be e- in the final , we will see a large-scale delegation of ukrainian superstars. those who were responsible for this ukrainian component of eurovision already summing up how much this eurovision in liverpool was ukrainian , it was brought to ukraine in completely different aspects, not only in numbers e ukraine was powerfully represented according to complaints

of eurovision a-a 37 ukrainian e-e locations were shown europeans also have a variety of videos, a sketch with presenters, that is , an informative ukrainian language was integrated, that is, very, very much. we tried every second that the bbc gave us for this. promotions of ukraine. we tried to use it. well, here i will explain to viewers who have not yet watched eurovision that postcards, postcards, are a kind of presentation to the contestants, a presentation if the contestant and in this year's concept we combined three different locations, locations from ukraine, a location from great britain and the location is from the participant's country, that is, united was in everything this year, and i think that ukraine

has enough of these competitions. sanina is powerfully represented by timurbarazhnya myroshnychenko, who is a special correspondent for eurovision this year, and in principle, i think that many more surprises that you will see tomorrow in tomorrow's show will surprise our viewers. the perch act was the union of ukrainians and europeans . in different countries of europe, the second semi-final was dedicated to the musical history of ukraine, and tomorrow's semi-final will be dedicated to the future of ukraine

, the new generation of ukraine, the rethinking of many, many, many more. eurovision by its own rules outside of politics but at the same time, eurovision is taking place in liverpool and not in a ukrainian city because of the war and the preparation for the contest, how did they actually combine such a contradiction, well, there was a lot of talk about the war vividly, it is uh, with visual artistic means uh, without documentary detailing, that's why in principle it was allowed and it's not a competitive program it's how to tear out this part and it's unfortunately, today most of our life is uh, so if we didn't mention this topic, it would be unacceptable, and that's exactly what yulia sanina also said in an interview that it was important to her that

glory to ukraine sounded from the stage, that is, this word was in the script, but tell us if there was something what went wrong with the script, it was not planned well, i can't say that, so let's have another question. let's go then, we have a few minutes left about eurovision. i saw here in liverpool a lot of fans in pink panamas, like in kalush, an orchestra well, the star of the serdyuchka star is already a long-standing symbol of eurovision, how ukraine became a symbol of eurovision, ukrainian performers, what is the secret of ukraine's success , because we are really one of the most creative nations in the world, ah, because in this eurovision represented by those involved in various elements of the show , a large number of uh cool creative production groups uh both in britain and from ukraine and our ukrainians they are really very creative and our singers are very talented original which will represent completely different musical genres

, a dramatic ballad wringing out will be heard, e-e fan from verka serdyuchka e-e folk electrofault from naked and e fiery very such even a spicy performance yes from tina karol from thank you, because eurovision is a contest of events every year, there are very bright ones, what are you interested in, what will the final look like ? participating countries ukraine performs in the second ten, immediately in the final, a creative group with the song "heart of steel" and the eurovision song

contest has just begun. a croatian band that sings about a little evil psychopath, then a czech band that sings about slavic sisters, sings in ukrainian, and here we just asked them from this czech band, vesna, why they chose such a song, and what they wanted to say with it about the beautiful force on the brave and children on your crown, your song raised many questions in ukraine , the war continues, people are dying, russia recently struck a supermarket in kherson, children died in uman, in your song we see a story about slavic sisters and

a quarrel between them, what does it mean when we when we wrote the song, the initial idea was to dedicate it to ukraine, and that is why we wrote the chorus in ukrainian, because we, as women, sympathize with all those who are currently experiencing all these sufferings. and although we have different cultural backgrounds, we have our bright energy to support each other, that is, this story is only about women and about sisterhood and has nothing to do with the war that is going on right now. yes, we didn't want your song to offend anyone, yukenga. you can have a sister who is your blood sister, but you can also be called a sister. someone who do you really know and want to support the name of the video your clip has words once upon a time in the slavic kingdom love and harmony reigned until one day you know russians often say about the past about one people that we were united that's why your

the song has such a reaction in ukraine , so what does it mean to you checker, we are from the czech republic, we live in a slightly different context , we have never manipulated the concept of sisterhood , sisterhood means to me that you want to help and do everything possible but of course this word in your context means something else we apologize if someone was upset by this word, it is terrible that this word sisterhood is used manipulatively because i think that the essence of this word is good, but in history its true meaning has been twisted, have you personally received some comments, some reaction to your song from ukrainians, yes, the reaction was very, very many and most of us supported us, many people said that they were happy that we made such a song , there were many good reactions, of course , there were also negative reactions, they were based on

a lack of understanding of the real meaning, what about britain accepts the eurovision song contest on behalf of ukraine and i will say that this is not the first time that britain is doing the eurovision song contest instead of another country . this has never happened before. there was no eurovision song contest during a full-scale war. leaving this liverpool arena , where all these concerts take place, leaving the embankment, you can meet very, very many ukrainian symbols, and those who came here for this song contest support ukraine after all, the eurovision song contest has a lot of fans who follow it every year. but at the same time, this year's eurovision song contest has also become such a symbol of support for ukraine, a symbol of solidarity with ukraine, and even people who have not watched it before watch it because it is the ukrainian eurovision song contest ukrainian

kamikaze drones political analysis objectively and meaningfully there is no political season exclusive interviews reports from the hottest frankly and impartially draw conclusions yourself congratulations friends we continue the information channel on the espresso tv channel with you vitaly portakov mykola september will be next week you will definitely see him and now you will see those of our respected experts with whom we will discuss today's events. this week so, vladyslav seleznyov, military expert, colonel of the armed forces of ukraine, spokesman of the general

headquarters of the armed forces of ukraine in 2014-2017, our first interlocutor congratulations vladyslav and glory to ukraine glory to the heroes let's talk, maybe you can explain what happened in luhansk, in your opinion, all these explosions , what could it be, how can you even get to luhansk from which rockets do you know, many answers are wrong, but it is obvious that the distance between the transferred positions of the ukrainian defense forces and luhansk is exactly where the cotton happened, and by the way, there were two of them, yes, in different objects, we are talking about an oil depot and one with one of the industrial facilities on the territory of luhansk itself, the distance to the facilities is more than 80 km, which means that the ukrainian defense forces did not have the opportunity to use our caviar , so obviously some other weapon was used

what we are talking about, it is unlikely that these were kamikaze drones, after all, their explosion or their component , in relation to explosive parts, can amount to well, there are several somewhere, and the level of destruction from those videos that i saw, i am talking about what exploded very well, it can be about several hundred kilograms of explosives, well, it's obvious that uh, it happened on the day when the declared quasi-state such an institution talked about what they distinguished there - they are celebrating another anniversary from the day of their foundation , so to a certain extent there is symbolism. i think that we should consider this cotton precisely in in the context of the preparation of the battlefield by the ukrainian defense forces, it is obvious that the weaker the russian occupation army will be, the more effective the ukrainian cultural offensive will be and these explosions that occur at military facilities at critical energy facilities infrastructure and both of the russian federation itself and over the territories of ukraine temporarily occupied by the russian army, they are investing in the same logic at the slowest, but the systematic methodical ukrainian army

is lower than the military potential of the enemy army, and this is good news. let's talk about what is happening in bakhmut a lot of contradictory information, on the one hand , they say the russians are leaving, on the other hand, they say they are taking positions again; prigozhin says that russian propagandists will cut him short they say that nothing like this is happening, what from the special says that it can really happen p vitalik it seems to me that there is such a discussion going on, a discussion not for life , even but for death, because putin thinks that he will look for it in the near future. she said who exactly failed all the tasks that he determined for the russian army, and you and i remember, without even mentioning kyiv in three days , that by the end of march he set the task of taking the entire territory of donetsk and luhansk regions under complete control then there was talk of taking control of maryinka avdiyivka bakhmut by may 9. putin's tasks did not happen at all. somehow

, the russian troops are in a hurry to fulfill them, which means that in the near future there will be some kind of analysis of flights and it will be necessary to respond, and here begins the threat of on the one hand, the puck with gerasimo tells what the news is, on the other hand, yevgen prigorna tells what they say he could but they didn't give him and he starts to bend his fingers eh about the fact that he wasn't given to perform high-quality combat tasks, i think that we still have a lot of this kind of history ahead of us, because it is not for nothing that russian generals have changed their positions 17 times with putin, this is about generals at the level of the commander of the operational command and above , nevertheless -th deck of generals are hanging out and there are no results on the field , it is even more clear that now the ukrainian army is at the final stage of preparations for a large-scale counter-offensive, and it is obvious that putin will

have even more questions about the skill of action in the future the russian generals and, accordingly, the russian army, the situation in the bakhmut area is just as clearly included in the same story, it is obvious that on the one hand there are assault troops who are trying to implement some tasks there, but it is obvious that the general picture does not meet the expectations that the same and the same ones mentioned by me as gerasim in the sshaig, because the russians are starting to cover with their heels, it is obvious why, and the main backbone of the russian combat units are the so-called chmoks of ordinary citizens of the russian federation, who at one time were conscription as part of a partial mobilization. maybe there were some conscripts there who went into combat and got some kind of weapon there. but do they have the appropriate level of motivation and the appropriate level of security? the question here is very debatable, and accordingly, if there is neither the first nor the second, the collapse begins at the front, and i think that the further the more such failures

will be even bigger and more. please tell me what is changing in the real transfer of long-range missiles from great britain to ukraine and can it be assumed that other countries will also transfer these two cabins from missiles. why you you are asking, today there was information, let's say in a political publication, the united states will not convey that this was solely the decision of great britain and that everything may end for a certain time. i think that we should consider the position today's position of the government of the united states of america the decision of the prism is postponed, they say today no, but it is not known what will happen tomorrow or even the day after tomorrow. of course, the shadow storm and precisely the missiles that we received from our british partners, although we did not receive them in the maximum version, that is, we did not receive rockets capable of adding a distance of more than 500 km, nevertheless 250 km - this is already good , moreover, the combat part of the

same rockets is 450 kg . again, there is no confirmation of this yet, we will find out later, i think, because it is obvious that the type of cotton we are observing in luhansk will be more important in the future, why is the shadow storm because the russians are now using such and such, they are placing their warehouses with ammunition on a distance of 100-120 km below the line, there was a clash, realizing that we do not have the resources to destroy the same warehouses from it, the situation has changed accordingly, those warehouses with ammunition and other military equipment, which then focuses complaints at such a distance from the line of military confrontation from now to be chambers , it will explode, turn into a flood, and once again we return to the creation of an appropriate situation on the battlefield, that is , a thoroughly systematic ukrainian army is preparing

for its own counter-navigation, and in order for that the counteroffensive was as effective as possible, but we would need to provide as much as possible to lower the enemy's military, technical, logistical and other resources that affect the level of combat readiness of putin's army, and here i do not think that it is worth giving too much attention to those engineers and fortifications that the russians have created a huge number of us over the past few months. nevertheless, you need to interfere more with how much ammunition and military equipment we can get for the period of time that will precede our counter-offensive will have time to significantly how much does the counter-offensive now affect the ukrainian counter-offensive, in your opinion, the situation with shells , can we say that european countries have already resolved this issue of supplying ukraine with shells, because many say that in

the very there are not enough of them in ukraine and the european union, and why should they be buried in third countries, and all this naturally creates certain logistical problems, of course, more than 30 years have passed since the end of the cold war and led to a serious demilitarization of the countries that are part of the north atlantic alliance and the countries of the collective west and they would be ready to help us with shells, but they do not have them physically , which means that you need to start your own production, all this also requires the construction of appropriate industrial logistics networks , the creation of appropriate resource opportunities and all this time and even now it is not so much about money because we know that 1 billion dollars of the country is a collective measure already allocated for the purchase of a certain amount of ammunition, but all this will be history extended in time for 12 months of course, the shells of the ukrainian pat army are very necessary, although, again, this is information

that appears from time to time from our guys from bakhmut, they talk about such things , the ukrainian army has had enough ammunition for that in the last few days to at least have parity in artillery means from the corresponding ammunition to those artillery means. and this is good news, because the more powerful the barrage of fire of the ukrainian defense forces, the more russian soldiers , respectively, armored vehicles, their equipment and weapons will be turned into ashes and this is again the basis for a successful ukrainian future counter-offensive tell me, please, mr. volodymyr slava , have you seen this parade moscow, do you think russia really lacks parade equipment or are they now afraid of their own goal after cotton in the e-e the kremlin does not want to take risks, i thought there were many factors influencing the fact that the russian parade on the main square in moscow turned out to be such a bummer. there is also

a certain reverie. it is better to send armored vehicles to the front in the main square of the capital, moscow, so that they can perform their respective tasks there as part of the so-called special military operation , on the other hand, russian propagandists quite actively advertised the t-90m e-e battle tank , the main battle tank of putin's army, which was upgraded according to the results participation in active hostilities on the territory of ukraine , an infantry fighting vehicle also met, which also went through a certain such upgrade, as well. due to the consequences of participation of this technique, well, combat operations on the territory of ukraine, but we did not see all this, what considerations preceded it, it is difficult to say, but in any case, the absolute general rejection of those results in the russian federation is obvious, because what is

a parade, a parade is a demonstration of the power, power, efficiency of the russian army if we are talking about the parades that marched in different cities on the territory of the russian federation. by the way, it is possible to remember that there were holiday parades in 21 cities on the territory of the russian federation it was canceled due to security considerations there and other reasons. so it is obvious that there is nothing to lose , there is nothing to lose, huge territorial gains, well, there is no reason to brag about putin and his cronies during the second parade of last year’s may 9 by the way, there was no aviation either, who dominated the sky over muscovy that day over the main square of the russian federation, it is unknown, maybe some unknown attack or unmanned aerial vehicles or komikaze drones, they are already the second time. it seems to me that aviation parades are held in the
