military and peaceful citizens of ukraine who died in the war that was unleashed by russia. hello everyone , this is freedom in the morning. my name is katya nekrecha and in this stream we are talking about the kakhov hpp blown up by russian forces. and you can see how the water is spilling. at the same time, the occupation authorities blame the destruction of the zsu dam. what actually happened and what consequences will this have for the kherson region of the crimea and the whole

of ukraine, and will this detonation stop the counteroffensive of the zsu? the military is moving on a wide front and is having success in the ministry of defense of ukraine confirms the counteroffensive successes of the armed forces in some areas , in particular near bakhmut, and the minister of foreign affairs kuleba claims that ukraine has enough weapons to launch a counteroffensive, what is happening on the front, has the counteroffensive really started, we are talking about it with a representative of the general staff the russian volunteer corps announced that a russian officer was eliminated during the fighting in belgorod, although officially moscow does not confirm this, but freedom of russia suggests to the head of the communist party of the soviet union, ivan prigozhin, an honest exchange of prisoners, in the meantime, the governor of belgorod, vyacheslav glatkov, actually admits that the authorities do not control the village of nova and volzhanka in the belgorod region, what is the plan of the military, who call themselves russian

volunteers, what is happening in shabei cinema and in general in the belgorod region, we say next, if you watch this broadcast on youtube, you can ask questions to the speakers of the morning stream just below this video, and also do not forget to like and subscribe to the radio channel svoboda, the russian military blew up the kakhovka hydroelectric power station, which is a few kilometers from the temporarily occupied city of nova kakhovka in the kherson region. the damage to the hpp is visible , kherson journalist kostyantyn rozhenko also published these footages, confirming the detonation with reference to own sources, and the footage shows the destroyed crossing and a constant flow

the water is now visible on your screens, in addition, telegram channels publish footage of the consequences of the explosion, verify these videos in war conditions and name the original source, we currently cannot, the ground under our feet shook , the crane, the crane, it falls, this video is published by pro-russian telegram channels, and here is the information about the explosion the head of the kherson uno, oleksandr prokudin, also confirms kakhovsky hpp , meanwhile, the occupying mayor of novaya kakhivka, volodymyr leontiev, initially denied to ria novosti the information about the undermining of kakhovsky the hydroelectric power station called it delusion. he added that everything is quiet everywhere in the city. but calmly, later he contradicted himself, saying that the upper part of the kakhova hydroelectric power station was destroyed precisely as a result of the shelling, but the dam itself was not destroyed, according to his data. after the destruction of the station, the water level rose to two and a half meters below current in the russian public immediately

accused the armed forces of ukraine of the shelling. i would like to remind you that the kakhovskaya hpp provides annual regulation of the flow of the dnipro for powering the arid regions of southern ukraine with electricity and water supply and navigation from kherson - from kherson to zaporizhzhia, russian forces captured the kakhovsky hpp in the first days of a large-scale war back in october. last year, the ukrainian authorities and the main intelligence agency reported that russian forces were replacing the dam of the kakhovsky hpp, probably preparing to blow it up. in his telegram to the office of the president of ukraine, the head of the office, andriy yarmak, called the event an ecocide.

in the kherson region and crimea, it is possible to destroy part of the population centers and the biosphere, and their actions pose a threat to the armed forces. currently , we are in touch with the head of the joint press center of the southern defense force natalya humenyuk greetings ms. natalya slava to ukraine i congratulate you as a hero slava tell me what happened at the kakhov hpp when it became known about the detonation because the russian side is talking about shelling by the armed forces as a result of the destruction of the hpp, what do you say to that? you have never seen or heard that the russian side said something else or something true, for example, we state that the occupiers blew up such a part of the kakhov hpp in the event that not all of the dam was destroyed, it is impossible to talk about absolute destruction, there is significant damage to the area where the water breaks through, and the extent of this destruction is really large because it is precisely because of this

that the rise of water can be quite high and create such a man-made situation extremely precisely that is why the response headquarters and all engagement services are deployed in the region , respectively, about what the russians were preparing such act we warned a long time ago and talked about the fact that they put explosives there further er according to their logic actually they used it as blackmail for a long time later er they used part of the er damages in order to drain the water and a few weeks ago it was already the flooding of the left bank when they lost even these personnel where the dugouts flooded covered the defensive structures along the left bank that they prepared, including the mini barricades . in this way, they endangered not

only the local population, but also their own the units that were sitting there were preparing for defense at this stage, frightened by the expectation of a counterattack, and somewhere they dreamed of some kind of force defense activity, they accordingly launched the same man-made lever that they had been preparing for a long time and the next stage - they also warned and we watched their mine work of the krymsky titan plant these are absolutely links of the same operation and we see and observe that they will continue man-made blackmail and further mrs. natalya, i will clarify what caused the destruction of the dam of the kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station - it is the mining it did not work, it was not a missile strike, it was not a missile strike at all, even in terms of the type of damage on the appearance of the dam itself , which you demonstrate, and it is clear that the explosion took place from

the middle, you mentioned the factory located in armenian and around this explosion of the kakhov dam. and why are the russian military doing this they are doing and planning to take such actions in the future, this is all in order to stop the counteroffensive and the armed forces, so really. they are so tired of waiting from which direction it will take place that any activity of the all -round defense, in particular, and the strengthening of the counter battery operation led to the fact that their nerves could not hold and they are trying to increase the area of ​​the water surface so that the ukrainian defense forces do not resort to forcing. in your opinion, why did the russian troops decide to blow up the kakhov dam right now if they were warned about it in armed forces of ukraine as you pointed out, in ukrainian intelligence and in the authorities in general, back in october of last year, they

decided that now in this way they will be able to stop the counteroffensive of ukrainian forces, that is , closer to the point, so to speak, they reacted it is obvious and also at this moment because experts previously spoke about the kakhov hpp as an important object for the protection of the russian military, well, in fact, as a military base that will definitely not be fired upon, where the russian troops can be, so to speak, conditionally under protection, why despite this, what actually happened, what happened , the explosion happened, they no longer feel protected and are more or less calm on the left bank, this is the consequence of our combat work over a long period of time, they realize that in fact, there are no places of deployment that are safe for them on the left bank, and that is why, according to the principle of uh, after me, at least the photo is

a pun in this case, and they act in the same way and what consequences do they expect, that is, if it is possible to tell, that is, they did this undermining of kakhovskaya hpp so that the armed forces of ukraine do not advance further. what does this mean? is it really impossible for the armed forces to advance further? and what will happen to the occupied part of kherson oblast and crimea in this case? further advancement of the armed forces of ukraine and the defense forces, it is clear what they are counting on, it is better to ask them directly, respectively, they did what they did and at this stage, the fact remains that in this way, the range of their firing positions will obviously move significantly, because the water will do our business and what we did not succeed in a certain way due to combat work

happened according to their calculations . thanks to this high water, they should move as far as possible from the left bank. and this will mean that the kherson will be a little easier on the right bank in relation to the shelling and where exactly there, what settlements can they move in this way, well, we will observe their directions of movement and then we will ascertain where they will move and that is , they will no longer be located in the area of ​​the kakhovsky hpp there under protection, as it was before , as such a military base is conditional, they will not be able to stay there either, or considering the destruction that is currently being discussed, they can still stay there, and they can stay there, but the question is with what forces and means we have, they will try to conduct combat work from there, time will tell if they can move away from kherson oblast, and

in general, into the occupied crimea. well, why, nothing, he is in the way. that is, this is one of the prospects, and also ms. natalya, do you know. can you orient yourself on the situation in the south, which settlements, as of now, what is known , are in danger from where you need to evacuate already today, maybe there are some rules that should be followed by people who are potentially in the flooding zone , the issue of evacuation is still up to the city authorities they are able to organize and inform and establish communication, including with the population and in the temporarily occupied territory, trying to notify them of the danger that threatens them, although on the left bank it is simply obvious to people where the water rises and they use all available means in order to evacuate there is no critical threat on the right bank so far

, the biggest threat will be the right bank in the area of ​​the dnieper delta, where the water will go as much as possible. kherson itself as a regional center is not threatened. nothing else thank you ms. natalya. thank you for your promptness, for always connecting to our broadcast as much as possible. head of the united press center of the defense forces of the south , natalya humenyuk, was the host of the svoboda morning, this is radio svoboda channel. don't forget to subscribe to our channel. and like if this video is useful to you . in the kherson regional military administration, oleksandr prokudin announced the need to evacuate residents of the territory controlled by ukraine due to the damage to the kahiv hpp.

according to the ministry of internal affairs, the following settlements will take place: the village of mykolayivka, olhivka, lviva tyahinka, ponativka, ivanivka, tokarivka, prydniprovske sadovye, and partly the city of kherson, outside the korabel island district, so the authorities are calling on people to gather things and be ready to leave in 5 hours, the water will reach a critical level, the evacuation of residents of dangerous areas has begun, all services are working emergency services, the police, the military, everyone nearby , i ask you to collect documents, essential items and wait for the evacuation buses . i am addressing the residents of the left bank separately please do everything possible to protect yourself and save your life immediately leave dangerous areas, but the russian state agency ria novosti writes that there will be a need to evacuate the population from novaya kakhovka due to the threat of possible flooding after the destruction of the kakhovka hpp, there is currently no agency about this, the occupation head of the administration informed volodymyr leontiev of novaya kakhovka is, however, he says that evacuation may be necessary for residents of settlements

below novaya kakhovka, and now we will continue to discuss the situation on oleksandr dolokonnikov, the spokesman for the kherson region military administration, joined our morning stream. i welcome you on the air. congratulations, glory to ukraine. glory to the heroes. tell us where the evacuation is currently taking place, what resources are being used for this, are there enough of them, and most importantly, where do you plan to take people? well, first of all, the first point - it's as usual with us kherson where everyone is already at the price of trains not trains evolutionary buses and cars are on their way we will evacuate trains to lviv immediately kamianka of boryslavsky district ivanivka of kyivskyi tokarivka ponottivka and bilozersky district are also already taking the island of people out of the microdistrict. all the people are being taken first of all to the collection point there, this is the bus station, and at 12:00

there will be an evacuation train. residents will be transported first of all to the mykolaiv region , mykolaiv, and then further on. in our shelters in our region partners who help us will provide all the help and place our people what resources are currently used for this or do you have enough resources maybe other regions are now going to you with help so far with this is enough, we were ready. even then, when oleksandr progunenko was planning a large-scale evacuation, then all the routes were already drawn up, and now people are already being transported, and we will hope that everything will be enough, that there will be no critical situation. and where is the most critical situation, as of now , well as of now, it is closer to well, in 5 hours after the flooding, around the 11th hour, we will already understand all the practical situations , because this will be the most critical level

, the water level, eh, but now there, in the kazumite area more well, the rise begins and lower in lviv. also, there, well, where is it closer to well , the tyagin community is immediately kamyanka, where well, the fastest people saw the rise of the water, but now we will look even lower, people are already gathering, people are already walking, as they say well, they are coming here and we will look at the situation further oleksandra, what is the number of people who currently need to be evacuated? are we talking about 16,000 or 16,000 people or what is the history of the occupied territories in general, are there people at risk of flooding now, what is the situation there

yes, we separately appeal to the residents of the left bank, we must do everything possible to move away from the coast, because there are more low-lying, flat lands that can be flooded, this right-bank kherson region is a little higher, so we must immediately leave the dangerous areas along of the dnipro river what lowlands they say so and evacuate eh, and we will wait there, we will further notify people, what opportunities do the residents of the occupied kherson region have to evacuate in general, because here eh, on their own that the head of the occupation of nova kakhovka says that there is no need to evacuate from this point, from this settlement , what do you know about nova kakhovka? kakhovka itself, unfortunately, i will definitely study it now, but i

would still go away from the coast and look at the situation here , it is important to listen to the ukrainian authorities. as you urge . as far as i understand. the armed forces of ukraine are actually under attack on the dam well, there was even such a message that it was simply old and collapsed in the telegrams of some people who wrote this, in your opinion, why is there such a reaction because they never admit their guilt. even what they are doing, and the detonation of the crimean titan is planned, this is part of the same plan to delay the counteroffensive zsu p oleksandr, if we talk about the consequences, they write in the chat that there will be no light, water, light in kherson , is there really a threat because the city will be without all this, we will look at the water level indeed, when there are pumps that

pump water from the lowlands and, well, from wells, they can be flooded and will be turned off in relation to water . i think the situation will be. well, maybe in which areas it will turn off, then it will turn on. i thank you for your promptness for what you found it's time to join oleksandr tolokonikov, the spokesman of the kherson regional military administration , was a guest on our broadcast, this is freedom in the morning. my name is katya nekrecha, and i urge you to subscribe to the radio svoboda channel in order to receive operational and information, and now it's important ah also follow the news for what is happening here on the night of june 6, russian troops blew up the kakhovsky hpp as a result of detonating the engine room from inside the kakhovsky hpp , the station was completely destroyed, according to the preliminary forecast , the reservoir is expected to operate within the next four days , and as of 9: 00 on june 6, the water level in the kakhov reservoir is rapidly decreasing

, the evacuation of the population from potential flooding areas has begun, and the uncontrolled decrease in the water level is an additional threat to zaporizhzhia npp water from the kakhovsky reservoir is necessary for the station to receive power for turbine capacitors and safety systems. this is actual information from ukr hydroenergo. i will also remind you that the president of ukraine has convened the national security and defense council of ukraine . we will monitor the situation, of course, about the consequences of a possible destruction . kakhovsky hpp was talked about by ecologists and built models of spillage of water from the dnipro, and now we will show you a map for which data was collected by our colleagues from the new ways publication, this is the possible scale of potential flooding as a result of the complete destruction of the dam of the kakhovsky hpp, i will note only that the ukrainian side is still determining the scale of the destruction of the dam, and the occupying authorities of novaya kakhovka note that the upper part

of the kakhovsky hpp was destroyed . therefore, it is too early to talk about the exact consequences. gola prystan saga cossack camp krynka beloved new and old sburyivka heroic fisherman we will talk about those consequences further and clarify with an expert director of the institute of water problems and land reclamation of the national academy of agrarian sciences mykhailo yutyuk joined our broadcast. i congratulate you. good morning, mr. mykhailo. in february, at the national marathon, you said that in case of violation of the rules for the operation of reservoirs on the dnieper, as a result, there will be a threat to 70% of the population of ukraine on the one hand now such news can be really panicky moods , any information is perceived in this way . therefore, i ask you so, let's gradually

discuss these questions that arise for of the beginning, is it already clear what scale of destruction we are talking about, judging by those videos about damage to the venting of the dam that we are now seeing on social networks and where the water can spill? so we can already talk about the scale and assess even the consequences. unfortunately , they are extremely negative consequences and understand what we urgently need to take those measures that have already been worked out to a certain extent in the scientific environment and government structures, but unfortunately, such a situation happened here, as they say , they had been preparing for a very long time, but everything happened unexpectedly, if we analyze further from last year we talked about the threats that this could happen and that we need to think about the consequences first, such operational consequences of the short-term with the perspective of the consequences of the long-term perspective, that is

to return to your first thesis that these will be consequences for the whole of ukraine and for everyone not just ukraine is meant for its sectoral development, for the old age of the economy , for the population to have security of access , i also want to clarify in detail, but ukrhydroenergo reports a complete destruction hpp and ms. natalya gumenyuk, the spokeswoman for ok pidnu, was just on the air. she said that the dam was partially damaged. how can you comment on those statements? well, i fully support these statements, because for the time being, we can only evaluate them from the videos that we have, so that's why what if there is no access to such a survey, but from the video that we see, which everyone has already seen, we can understand the situation that

the dam is really destroyed, there is a large program, eh. we can even potentially estimate how much water passes per second, and what they said well, the previous speaker talked about the fact that the reservoir will really be empty for 3-4 days , they are trying to keep in mind that its volume is useful , it is possible and even a larger volume, and this poses a new challenge and threats for e-e not only for kherson, it poses challenges from threats, first of all, to dnipropetrovsk, zaporozhye, and kherson regions. well, and for the rest of ukraine. well, we must already understand that the russians destroyed the dam and the hydroelectric power station. we must think about how to restore it, and first of all, we must urgently think if we can have access there in any way at least temporarily stop the descent of the reservoir in order to stabilize its level there

with some temporary measures in order to minimize risks and losses for the entire spectrum of economic sectors that are tied to this to the reservoir and first of all to the zaporizhzhia nuclear plant because in order to somehow intervene in this situation and try to somehow fix the destruction there, you need to be right there in nova kakhovka. that is, you need to buy a settlement, you need a bottle to build, we must have access and we must urgently do everything in order to stop the leakage of water and stop the leakage on such a scale, and with such consequences, because today we have a classic hydrodynamic accident, a high high flood wave , an uncontrolled leakage, which is associated with hydraulic characteristics because the occupiers were preparing for this

, it was clear, they forced the level by 2 m from the dnr and concentrated large volumes of water, which now add additional energy and simply increase the height of the flood wave and the area of ​​inundation and unfortunately, the left bank, which is low and will be flooded, will also be flooded, flooded low-lying settlements and economic facilities, and we will pray that people will not be hurt, because there are great risks for people 's lives. e the amounts of damages that are actually needed in order to restore the work of the kakhovka hpp are only there for the year of the stay of the russian military there.

ukrainian forces are going there, how many people are needed for this, what kind of equipment, what kind of money, well, we are talking about a huge scale, which, apparently, in the last 30 years , there was no such structure in ukraine, and it will be a large-scale construction. it is difficult to talk about the number of people and the scale of finances - it is billions of dollars or euros. and it will be necessary to build a new hydropower plant again and to equip it with technical equipment, taking into account the usual modern achievements of technical technology and scientific knowledge in order for it to perform that function, but it will have to be done from scratch practically now from the local authorities we know about the evacuation that has been announced and people are being evacuated first. there in kherson the evacuation will also

continue . it will be necessary to evacuate quickly and in the future . risks for their lives and health for the security of that property which, unfortunately, for the left bank is of course big risks and was taking into account the agrographical situation considering that these are still occupied territories therefore, it is necessary to cover this situation as much as possible and thanks to you, residents should understand that first of all, they need to find places that are higher than the water level in the river
