[000:00:00;00] just this deep, serhii, today there were also reports that the reconnaissance ship ivanna course was attacked by naval drones, well, the department of the ministry of defense of russia says that it was three ukrainian boats , firstly , what do you know about it, and secondly, is this is somehow related to the fire on the bridge? are these two parallel separate stories that developed simultaneously today? well, with the available information , it is very difficult to connect these two events. but judging by the report of the russian ministry of defense, these events took place far from the crimea from the kerch strait , it is 140 km northeast of the bosphorus strait - it is closer to turkey, and according to common information, the ivan gurt is a reconnaissance ship. its purpose is to ensure

the communication of the fleet management and the solution of reconnaissance missions, the russian ministry of defense claims that ivan hurts is allegedly guarding underwater lawns there, and this morning, this ship was attacked precisely during this alleged mission, check this information in modern events it is very difficult and as you mentioned comments from the armed forces of ukraine in this regard i did not immediately see serhiy thank you very much for your comment serhiy mokrushyn journalist of the crimea realiy project we talked about what happened today in crimea and in particular on the kerch bridge thank you very much i invite you. if you watch us on the internet , subscribe to the youtube channel, like this broadcast, in this way you will support our work. well, at the same time, i will follow your comments, questions, remarks

, remarks. welcome, i just see now. what are you already asking us about the events in belgorod, now let's talk about this ukrainian military did not take part in the operation to penetrate the belgorod region on may 22 this is reported by the new york times with reference to a ukrainian high-ranking official whose name is not called that, according to him , military personnel of the armed forces of ukraine provided support to formations that entered the territory of the russian region and covered the ukrainian border in case of a russian counterattack, a source told the new york times that the units that penetrated into the belgorod region suffered losses, but these losses were not so significant that it somehow affected their combat capability, but he did not disclose other details. on may 22, the authorities of the belgorod region announced that a subversive reconnaissance group of the armed forces of ukraine entered the border graivoron city district in the villages of the throat skating rink of igor's division as it was reported that there were battles in the region for about a day , the russian

ministry of defense is operating in the mode of a counter-terrorist operation. the invading units were defeated and pushed back to territory of ukraine this is literally a quote and this is what the minister of defense of russia serhiy shoigu said today about the events in the belgorod region of ukrainian terrorists. oblasts denied responsibility for the invasion , the russian freedom legion and the russian volunteer corps took charge of the formation, which mainly consists of russians who are fighting on the side of ukraine well, as of today, the russian troops have probably pushed back the forces of the volunteer corps and the legion of freedom at least to the border settlement of the skating rink, possibly beyond the borders of russian

territory, this is what the american institute for the study of war suggests in the current report, i will only add that the rink is located approximately 76 km away to the southeast of the city of sumy well and the events in the belgorod region the situation in bakhmut well and also the unannounced unannounced visit of the british minister of defense to kyiv it was also today, we will discuss it further, oleksandr kovalenko joins the air, military-political columnist of the information resistance group. good evening. i see you. let's start, i guess, from the belgorod region. hmmm, how do you see it? from your point of view, what actually happened there, for what purpose did you go there? volunteer russian formations and what exactly was this and for what purpose should we consider it primarily as a subversive demonstration

action? of the border by the russian occupiers, and first of all, the fact that they do not have enough opportunities to protect the border with ukraine is actually not covered by them, not the first point, the second point - this is a rather slow reaction on the part of the russian security forces, fatally slow, and in addition , we saw the fact that small mobile a-a groups easily pass the line of defense. by the way , billions of rubles were allocated from the russian budget for their construction , but they did not stop at all, and we can only imagine. and what would have happened if it was not a mobile group on electro-armored vehicles and if these were full-fledged armored groups well, then probably

the most interesting events were already taking place somewhere in the belgorod region, and therefore it should be considered precisely as a sabotage reconnaissance action, which under certain conditions, eh, was also considered as combat reconnaissance eh under the current conditions, the citizens of russia took part mainly in this action . and it was a kind of partisan outing , direct speech - this is a narrow volunteer corps that actually went on a campaign in the belgorod region today they gave a press conference after they returned , so i understand. let's listen and then continue - the political russian federation of the russian federation is absolutely not ready for such things.

super observation, when it comes down to it , all this pours out, nothing happens, eh, that is , in fact, the stronger we are, the more powerful we are. some responsible mayors, that is, uh, until they, let’s say, rolled out tanks in large numbers on the road there, they couldn’t even put anything against us, it’s just that we don’t have some, well, let’s say, huge amounts of forces so that everything to occupy the territory and fully control it, for us this is still a breakdown of forces and, of course , military and political goals as part of this operation. let's put it this way, they will fulfill our military mission

, military and political, but what we got is remarkable . in belgorod, they toured half of the region. well , several settlements have returned and will simply tell what they saw and , in principle, indirectly admit that it was a larger such political action, including in order to present how, in principle, russia is preparing for a possible attack on its territory, so in addition to this, we are already talking about a front almost 40 km deep, 3-5 even 7 km deep into the territory itself, and russia along the front is 40 km long. could not control and this is very important. in addition , trophies were captured and there is an important moment during the battle, the collision also destroyed several units

of russian equipment directly. it was a truck with ammunition and also a truck towing a howitzer, that is, if we are dragging the trunk board which was destroyed and thus it is really a complex of things and which not only demonstrated the capabilities of this mobile group a of the legion and the rdk and also the german army of russia itself defends its territory, i would even say so, this is a serious more than a political geopolitical slap russia russia by the way

, it doesn't react in any way. well, it reacts. they publicly say there that they killed 70 saboteurs. ah, this is the whole reaction. which they demonized ukraine for years and about which they told that here the nazis are satanic, that only they did not tell, but it turns out for some reason this border is not closed tightly enough, there is no protection from this and from this terrible ukraine, and what went wrong , why so, how can they comment on this because if you look at this story more deeply, the question arises. and if this is the situation near ukraine, which is considered the number one enemy for russia, well, biolaboratories are all birds for different viruses and all that other stuff and mosquitoes play with viruses, but the question arises. and then what is happening on the border with friendly and brotherly china, what is the situation there , what is protecting it, where all the forces and means are from this region, and they are in the combat zone in ukraine

, it is known that in fact all the entire russian army, that is, all the men's structures and units , namely the order of battle. they are in the war zone in ukraine, and russia itself is actually protected by oleksandra. also, the publication of the fine show times today wrote about the fact that these paramilitary formations entered the the territory of the belgorod region even engaged in battle there with russian forces, they used american-made military vehicles , well, photos of these vehicles have been published. do you think this story will have any negative consequences for kyiv, because washington clearly says that they do not encourage or motivate kyiv to use american equipment for participation in attacks on russian territories, well , the reaction was some kind of harsh reaction to the use of this technique, hmm, i did not hear that

there was any such direct criticism and dissatisfaction with what is happening, and everything was dry enough, er, such a standard regulation of statements. and if this is really so, then ah, another time, when the actions of the legion commander will take place. well, we will not. because we have a lot of russian paleonlysis equipment, and directly lightly armored bpm, the same tiger, an armored car and another well, therefore, there is a choice - it is not fundamental in my opinion, especially when the guys return from the territory of russia with trophies such as btr-82, then they can provide themselves with appropriate bbm with a fire potential, we will monitor this situation, of course, in the belgorod region, if it will continue to develop, eh. well, bakhmut has been

the focus of attention for the past few months, and for the last two days, the general staff has not at all mentions the battles in the city and for the city. why do you think? does this mean that the city has already been captured, but for some reason, the ukrainian side has not officially announced this, and the city . most of its territory is really under the control of the russians occupiers, but there is an area that the russians do not control. and this, er, in the area of ​​the plane, there is such a small triangle along chaikovsky street and also sumsky, er, this is exactly the place where the route 0.5.04 of zivanivskogo enters bakut itself, and the russians do not control this area it can be conditionally called that everyone is together and they cannot enter it because it is under one control from the position

of the force defense of ukraine, so if you say there how uh likes prigozhin, for example, to declare that we captured 100% there, there 80 he said 85 then 90 if we just say the percentage of the captured city, then no, because this area is the entrance gate, namely in the southwestern location, if not counter this is this exact location , then the entrance gate is not controlled since 0.5.04 and we can fully talk about the control of the city by the russian occupiers it is impossible in the same place, of course, there is no fighting, but there is a process of accumulating resources there, they are deciding what to do next. and to continue moving in some directions . ivanivska is constantly under heavy and artillery fire from the occupiers. although there is a response from the defense forces of ukraine, because we now

control, and mainly, most of the dominant heights, it is in this area. therefore, now more artillery duels are taking place if we are talking directly about the city itself. and you the leader wagner prigozhin was already mentioned . he gave a big interview about the kremlin's political technologist kostyantyn dolgov, and in this interview he flirts with the ukrainian army in a very strange way, so to speak. let's listen to a fragment and then we'll discuss it with you. you also came from pakham, walked with boots all over the territory . we were looking for nazis. for now, we were looking for nazis for sausages . we approached kiev, then in russian we called them shit and atoshnik . we

went to kherson. a special operation is being prepared , the council of nazification and militarization, we have made ukraine of nations, which is known to everyone in the whole world. demilitarization if they had at the beginning of the special operation conditional 500 tanks for 3.5 weeks if they had a-a managed to fight 20,000 people and now 400,000 people are able to fight how did we militarize it? what are these messages from prigozhin talking about? well, what putin put in front of him was that putin was engaged in the army, recruiting prisoners, er

, conducting some kind of battles, but now we hear specific political messages, er, and even trace certain compliments in the direction it is possible to say that to ukraine. and why, what kind of goal is it, and what kind of goal is it pursuing? well, you don’t have to take this compliment, actually , it’s not a compliment, it’s the use of facts, and it ’s really true, because ukraine, today , the ukrainian army is one of the strongest armies in the world, in europe, even imagine that shoigu or gerasimov or putin would say something like that, why does prigozhin say it like that, that's exactly why he uses the truth for his political game, that's why he 's been engaged in information killing all this time, what are you

you will be gerasimo. and he created his role for the local electorate, who expected from him some kind of leader who would openly and openly criticize the powerful of this world, who would not be afraid of anything. combat generator although not a general , prigozhin is now playing this role because one way or another, but in the future he plans to pursue a political career, and this political career will at least be at the level of the state duma. all these are really pr elements pr elements of prigozhin himself by the way, i will remind you that his such a comrade and this is er-e surovyky on general surovykin when he also took

the place of commander of the rock group in ukraine , what did he start with, and they started their team with what he declared that we have to make very difficult decisions, well, that is, he hinted that they should already flee from the right bank kherson oblast. and what happened, someone started criticizing, no. and here is this russian propaganda clique. here is this clique , she started praising him, what is this? we were waiting for the general , that is, they have a need for this kind of truth-seeking, it is so, and it can be implemented politically, so i do not rule out that it is only a kind of pr, and the day before, already a political struggle, i understood you. british defense minister ben wallace arrived with an unannounced visit. he had a meeting with reznikov, and the ukrainian minister said that

kyiv is already using shadow long-range missiles handed over to britain. do you understand where and by whom kyiv could already to use these missiles. we started today with the fact that in crimea something happened again on the bridge there, maybe this is it. and what happened in crimea, we have already seen this or some unknown boat without some kind without a crew. the video has already been posted, but about parties, even before that, these missiles were definitely used against the positions of the russian occupiers, against the objects of the russian occupiers, er , precisely in the temporarily occupied territories of luhansk region, maybe even in the south, and were they used on the temporarily occupied crimean peninsula? to confirm, but what is certain that someday we will also use it in crimea, and this is 100%, because these missiles allow us to effectively destroy

the relevant objects, even fortified objects, and due to the large radius of action, even in crimea, the russian occupiers are now safe groups can feel informational resistance was on radio freedom and once again i urge you if you watch us on the internet , like this broadcast in this way you will support our work the youtube algorithm works in this way what the more likes the more people will learn about us, well, there is another extremely important topic: the orthodox church of ukraine is switching to a new church calendar, the gregorian one, this decision was made during the synod of bishops, which was convened today in the utrapiz church of the kyiv-pechersk lavra, a formal decision that must be approved by the local synod of the church, which will take place on 27 in july of this year, however

, the head of the church, metropolitan epiphanius , announced that the next christmas the believers of ptzu will celebrate on december 25 and not on january 7 , the majority of the participants of the cathedral voted for one was against, answered the question of journalistic radio freedom metropolitan epiphanius to the question of who exactly did not support the decision and why epiphanius did not answer at the same time easter will be celebrated by believers as before according to the date which will be calculated by hand and this applies to the trinity because it, like easter, did not bring related to specific dates, but i will add that, for example, the intercession will be on october 1 instead of the 14th epiphany, january 6 instead of the 19th, st. nicholas day, december 6 instead of the 19th. want the right to use the old calendar according to our statute. the last word, that is, the last decision of the local council as

the highest governing body of the orthodox church of ukraine. switch to a new calendar, that is, on september 1 , the new church year already begins, and accordingly, christmas will already be celebrated on december 25. one person was against us. expressed their position, there were certain comments from certain bishops, but we made a balanced decision, we will not force the community that wants to stay, that is, there will be a certain transition period, we did not limit, we did not set any time frames, every community that does not move now will eventually have the opportunity to join this process. i am convinced that over the next few years, communities in ukraine will join this process and

switch to the new calendar . there will be disputes between those who have moved and those who want to stay. well, today, immediately after it became known about the transition of the ptu to the new church calendar, radio svoboda asked the people on the streets of kyiv whether they are happy with this decision, whether they support it or not support why and here are the answers we received, listen to our incorrect calendar and what about ancient russia, well now if we are going to be exactly the same transition as the whole of europe, then this is very good , it seems to me that i support this decision because now the time of transformation is now the time to go forward

as soon as possible and look with more advanced views, i don't think that we need to hold on to some old rules and drag this old world on our children and why not and why not try all this well, if we are going to join the european union, then we must, uh, switch to all the ones that we have, uh, celebrate everywhere, everywhere on the earth , so that it is unified, well, for me, it is not like that now, the main question for me is that there will be no war, and when we will celebrate when who wants, then let us celebrate ahead, i think so. well, the fact is that people of our generation will celebrate twice, just as we now celebrate the new year twice.

it's not all, it takes time, it's very unrealistic, yes, on one day at 11 a.m. we celebrate according to all calendars because a holiday is a holiday, people celebrate and we also celebrate unequivocally and the question of faith is each individual person i think that god we have only one and who prays to him and how if cleansed the heart, and when and how it doesn't matter. i think so, if god allows me, you know that this is necessary and that's all. this is my credo, such a rash allowed me to mean yes, and it is necessary, and first of all, secondly. well, thank god because i'm lagging behind for two weeks this is ridiculous, just ridiculous. well, for example, i have not thought about this question yet. well, if it is right for ukraine, then it will be right. well , metropolitan of pereyaslav and vishnevsky oleksandr drabynko joins our broadcast. good evening. good evening

, blessed and peaceful sky. thank you very much. schedule, and today many of our groups switched to the new julian calendar, while other colleagues wrote in the gregorian calendar. i understand correctly that it is the same thing or not, it is not the same thing. the gregorian calendar was introduced in the 16th century due to the astronomical inaccuracy of the julian calendar how did both the eastern and western churches live at that time by pope gregory 8, it was the 16th century, and this calendar is called the gregorian calendar by the name of the decree by which it was then introduced by pope gregory the new julian calendar of course, the orthodox did not accept the calendar that was introduced in the roman catholic church and at the beginning of the 20th century, the patriarch of constantinople gathered representatives of the local orthodox churches and

the serbian astronomer listed the calendar and left easter and you calculated passover and the holidays associated with it, i.e. the ascension of the trinity . leaving the great lent, it becomes, as we call it, the old style, and this calendar was called the new luhansk calendar, it actually coincides with the gregorian calendar, but these are two different calendars i.e., the ptu switched to the new julian calendar, which is correctly used today 10 with the ukrainian already now with the ukrainian orthodox church 10 of the 15 local orthodox churches have a good terminology just two years ago and sociology was talking about it, the transition to the novylian calendar seemed like a fantasy, why is this decision mature now why did the church decide to adopt it, what

became the main catalyst, well , you can say that there are several catalysts here, one and the decisive one. so, you correctly said that we , er, for a long time, there were discussions about one holidays around christmas. the month of december always just begins and the discussion immediately begins when to celebrate whether on december 25 or january 7, and we always forgot about the event of christmas with and only talked about which calendar we will celebrate this holiday, well, that is, the discussion has already been held and the need for reorganization and in it was ripe for a certain reform of the calendar. well, today, as we can see, it has matured in our country, and the most blessed bishop epiphanius of his time said that last year, will we probably need 5-10 years for it to mature by itself, uh, and not enough

the idea is ripe, but its implementation can be completed a little later , the head of the greek catholic church, svyatoslav shevchuk, also said the same thing. even there, there were four arguments that he gave that it was not on time and there are certain reasons for that, but i understand the corrections. the war and the processes that are taking place today in ukraine in society in general is one of these processes - this is of course our european integration, which is already irreversible, and in order to be in the european family, we have to a certain extent to reach those standards that i would not say in a religious context, but in the majority of the orthodox churches of the european union, we celebrate the use of the new julian calendar in liturgical use, so it would be desirable for us to keep up with it, and all the more so we clearly know that the old julian
