. it was possible to provide the hospital with an innovative system thanks to the work charity initiative of the league of heat, which was started by the ukrainian mobile operator vodafone, called on big business to donate and urgently install some alternative heating systems because our children, our babies, are our future, we took over the administration of the organization, there is support , we found a charity fund, your support, thanks to which we have already implemented two projects , the companies huawei ukraine privatbank and holding energy each transferred 20,000 to the charity project € for the purchase and installation of the necessary equipment in the hospital, we value social partnership for the sake of the future therefore, this project is aimed at creating comfort

for mothers and children and also aimed at the future of ukraine, the maternity hospital in boyarka is the second medical institution that the heat league provided with special climate equipment , the first was the maternity hospital in sumy oblast, anyone can join the initiative, you just need to fill out a special application on the heat league website we continue the live broadcast of the espresso tv channel thank you for talking with us about the situation from the kakhovka hydroelectric station and we remind you that the dam was destroyed , the relevant equipment, generators and turbines were destroyed, and there is a message from ukrhydroenergo-kakhovska the hydroelectric power plant is completely destroyed and cannot be restored, and this event is definitely symbolic in the negative sense of the word in the russian-ukrainian war and will lead to quite large-scale consequences. now all we have to focus on is saving as many of our people as possible in the kherson region, as

on the right bank, which is currently controlled by ukrainian troops and the left bank of the canal , which is unfortunately under occupation, people must do everything necessary to ensure their safety and move away from dangerous settlements that are at risk flooding, prime minister of ukraine denys shmyhal notes that populated areas are now in the risk zone, if you are in such a populated area, please collect documents, the most necessary things, if possible , please take care of your pets , untie the dogs, i don't know, this is also important and leave the populated areas, ukrzaliznytsia is once again coming to the aid of the ukrainians, and here our railwaymen have already passed and the enemy fire will now have to be passed and

we will talk about the water itself, and now it is reaching our dash head of communications of ukrzaliznytsia oleksandr shevchenko, oleksandr, i welcome you, please tell me how many people you plan to evacuate at 12:00, as of now , we understand that we have one of the planned evacuation flights from kherson to mykolaiv at 12:00. that we do not understand, we will see him directly at the station, but we are ready for e-e, in principle, for any number, because we have in our reserve the necessary number of cars , therefore, if necessary, we can schedule additional flights e there is also a local e khersonska exit, the information administration is organizing a transfer to the station, accordingly. our task will be to pick up these people from those who will be taken to pick them up and bring them safely to mykolaiv, exactly the meeting, you and i , we are ready for any number, oleksandr . i understand that our railway workers will now have one train and additional

wagons that can be hitched to take out all those who wish, absolutely correct so far , as i said, one evacuation flight emphasized that it is free like all evacuation items of ukrzaliznytsia and the operation of the need to cooperate with the local authorities, of course we will determine additional flights if it is necessary to attach additional wagons, this is not the only problem. that is, in any case, we keep our hand on the remote control in general. if we talk about the changes in mode in the mode of movement of our trains and ukrzaliznytsia , are they taking place in connection with the situation in the south of our country, because we understand that not only this evacuation train will perform its flights , there are also other trains that must continue their work, will the mode of this work change at the moment, no, at the moment all ukrzaliznytsia flights go according to their schedule, we have no changes either in

the schedule of departures or in the route , but i will repeat myself. we keep our finger on the pulse and we see that the situation is developing accordingly. carefully for flooding for possible flooding of the track if necessary we will always be able to change the route, you know that we have a fairly extensive railway network in ukraine accordingly, we will be able to promptly we always have plans to react, and we always have accordingly, if necessary, we will be able to provide traffic so far, not a single flight has been canceled and we are moving on the radio p oleksandr a in general what damage has the railway suffered as a result of the enemy undermining the kakhovskaya hpp, so far it is realistic we will begin to evaluate it now we continue to move as we have been moving, that is, now it cannot be said that we have been directly affected, but let's not forget that we also have stations and depots and many other things in the temporarily occupied

territory, which will also be affected accordingly, accurate the damage is accurate. let's say that the affected objects will have to be evaluated after the deoccupation, because after all, we would really like to evaluate kakhovka and everything else on the ground . when will we be able to go there and see it with our own eyes , mr. oleksandr? i just don’t know how extensive our railway network is, in particular on the left bank of the currently occupied kherson region, is there anything known about whether the occupiers will use our ukrainian tracks in the occupation, maybe there are some left warehouses trains wagons some information is coming well here i unfortunately cannot be specific we know some things about their use by the occupiers of our tracks and our wagons but now we cannot publish it on the air eh in any case we are not following

and waiting until all this returns to the ukrainian railways , and very briefly, finally, to mykolaiv, residents of the kherson region will be able to reach mykolaiv by your evacuation train. will be able to be accommodated so far, we have not received such an application from the regional leadership, so he did not organize such a flight, but from the point of view of the railway's ability to organize such flights, it does not seem like a problem, we can also appoint in all affected regions, and we will be there now the situation is under control, therefore there are no reports about the evacuation. thank you oleksandr shevchenko, the head of communications of ukrzaliznytsia was in touch with us. we remind you that ukrzaliznytsia is sending an evacuation

train from kherson today at 12:00, in particular, you will be able to reach to mykolaiv, if you are in the territory of the kherson region, in particular, you are from flooded settlements, find an opportunity to use this option for yourself . well, we are going further. and now ihor lapin, a special officer, an officer of the armed forces of ukraine, a people's deputy of the eighth convocation, mr. igor, i congratulate you. glory to ukraine glory to the heroes, what is your situation at the front, please tell us well, here we are at the front let's speak frankly i 'm still a retired major already but if we talk about the units, let's say that my the former units eh, eh, eh, in the same directions where they work today , there is a certain degree

of advancement of our forces . it is still too early to say, because it is necessary to cover a rather large distance both in the southern and northern directions around bakhmut in the direction of the bagrutka river, well , the station there is only concerned with the occupation of the dominant heights, which can significantly complicate life for of the russian occupiers. well, the picture looks like this in this direction. as for other directions, we know that now the so-called reconnaissance by combat. if earlier they were done . destabilization of the enemy's defense, talk about some specific major breakthroughs well, if somewhere there is a capture of certain lines on the first line of defense of the rakishts, then this does not mean

that there is a breakthrough of the front or a cascading collapse of the front but these are elements that connect , let's say so , with our future counter-offensive. are you a prelude to a counter-offensive? so on, mr. igor, i would like to talk a little about the heights, we understand that there are already defense forces on some of them around bakhmut, which all that the struggle continues, i especially emphasized , in particular, forgive the beautiful top, lord and the verkhiv reservoir yesterday he even issued a speech that russian occupation forces are losing control over part of the village of verkhivka, located to the northwest of bakhmut, i will not ask if our defense village is really there or if

we are really advancing just outline there , please, if you have an understanding of the strategic importance of this particular location. well , let's be frank, whoever controls the height also controls a very large area on the heights, you can place a lot of things, especially that as for the artillery, the artillery itself will actually be able to carry out the so-called operational encirclement of the bakhmut group that exists today, let's also not forget that there are already parts of the city of bakhmut where our positions have been restored, this is all a bridgehead for the future squeezing out of the enemy, but once again i emphasize by driving the enemy in the operational environment, well, believe me, they will leave there much faster, and here the whole question is whether to destroy it in that environment or to give an opportunity to get out. therefore, we need these heights very much this is so, if very briefly, why why did our armed forces begin

to recover their positions according to these principles, because well , we are not wagnerians, we are not going to storm the city buildings head-on, especially there . of course, there are no infrastructure facilities and so further, we know that there are units of local residents left there, but in any case, the urban development , even the ruins of the urban development, this is of a certain kind in the territory of ukraine. which logistics possibilities, and this can be done with the help of height control, already outside er, er, bahmut, let’s say so again, as i said in the northern and southern directions, and it is significant that, well, in the north of this area, let’s say, the veterans of azov are working successfully, that’s we know the third assault unit and so on, and at the other end, at the opposite end, the aidar battalion is working . well, in principle, in the sense that, again

, some of the armed forces of ukraine, which began in the 14th year, today perform certain height assault missions are better populated points for any military will tell you this because sitting in a hole is much worse than looking from above and if if so and when the top actually bahmuta is already if we are talking about such more far-sighted things , then they will have to withdraw to the heights of troitske, that is, it is already about 25 kilometers, they will have to withdraw if we are talking about some other echelon of their probable defense that they will want to organize the fact is that there are very good heights there, and there are also areas where trenches were dug, let's say, dug by us

, including last year, and we held the defense there, so let's say that they will have this other stage left, but until this moment, we believe me, it's 28 km, taking into account the fact that we are advancing there by 200, 300, or 500 m per day, sometimes it happens more where the enemy's breakthrough is better. according to the movements of the assault units of the volume e in principle, everything is going according to all the rules of conducting this kind of military operations and with the aim of preserving the personnel of our troops because, let's be honest , it is always more difficult to attack than to defend, and we understand this and the command understands this, as for other possible scenarios, well, you know for this we need to talk about the elements of data intelligence, we cannot discuss this with you now, because let's say

this is already a matter of strategic planning, it already concerns a slightly higher commander no no level let's say kombat or combrig so we can't comment on this in the test, of course, well, in general, the tendency to liberate these territories thanks to height control and the destruction of the group that is in bakhmut is already starting to bear fruit. well, let's talk frankly, prigozhin gets thrown out of there because he understands, as no one understands, that those who stay in bahmut will be, well, clay, so i will say it politely, and in the format of the tv channel, and then the second moment, the cadres are not in a big hurry, all of them go there and others, they all want to leave for belohorod region, because well, it is supposedly easier there, and these are the first signs that we have a certain operational success in this direction, mr. igor. and what is next , what will happen after bachmut

? what will be the next city, the return of the ukrainian flag ? i might like it the most well, what about us , what is the nearest, which is the nearest big city to our er to our line to our armed forces of ukraine, that's right , i like it too, and it's not far from there, but let's talk frankly. in that direction, a very large number of russian personnel and their equipment and all that cheetah shoots and barks and in that context are concentrated. of course, they cannot be such assaults. victims, the second direction, which i like, the luhansk direction, it is not even related to the crime of svatova in that direction, because the crimes are committed there, we know the situation is a little more difficult, but i like the kharkiv direction more let's call the luhansk region so as not to reveal any secrets. well, of course, everyone

is already on their toes. the zaporizhia direction is an attempt to allegedly organize a counteroffensive there. on the prelude to the big one to the big offensives and in this context well, for example, if there very often densely experts called the direction there to melitopol there or to mariupol and so on well , i agree with very many analysts in in this context, if we enter only through a narrow corridor to break through to the sea and cut these two groups in half, i am talking about two. this means the donetsk left and the crimean right, then we will have a very big problem, because we will be raking both the left of the donetsk and the right of crimean groups of rural troops, not having superiority in the air, not having aviation , it will be very difficult for those who go on the ground, even using such partisan methods of fighting against

aviation as stingers or manpads, it's all the same it is a very serious load and to scramble to enter such a narrow corridor, well, this is a disaster. that is why the issue of expanding this corridor with access to the plain part of the crimea is serious, more strategic. i am not saying to climb the crimean mountains, but we can say that we should try the plain part in look in this direction, of course they are there, the state should decide it, but i would say so , because the right wing of ours will simply very seriously suffer from the crimean grouping if we do not look in that direction, that is why i i think it was cleared and they blew up the cocoon we had for literally a minute, mr. igor, the military, well , i don’t know , the military, what is the purpose of this act on the part of the russians

? in several directions, one of them, uh, got in. let's say that on the left bank of the dnieper, and they tried to do it, but the fact is that i would like to interfere with another cynicism. the fact is that blowing up the hood of g is one story. and then why was it all equipment and everything else that is not related to the conduct of hostilities, this is the very destruction of our infrastructure against this background, i can't help but remember that today the organization of united canadians is celebrating russian language day on twitter. well , that's how cynicism looks like somewhere. thank you , mr. igor. ihor lapin was in touch with us, a special agent, an officer of the armed forces of ukraine, a people's deputy of the previous convocation. thank you for always high-quality analytics and for your
