me the latest news, what is happening in the city , what kind of flooding is there, is the water coming further, and how many people have already been evacuated according to official data. i congratulate you, the water is coming. i'm moving for a reason because water is just arriving behind me on the street in this district of richport in kherson. it's near the city center, and if you look behind me , there's an intersection. and water i don't know there if you measure like that well, maybe in centimeters, there are definitely 20 on the street, it’s just that there is further evacuation, and as you mentioned , the head of the regional weapons administration said that about 1,500 people have already been evacuated, most

of them from the island microdistrict, which in kherson is flooded the most yesterday have you also seen these shots as people are saving themselves there , animals are being taken away, some property is being tried to be saved , but of course not everything will be saved, many houses are flooded, many houses are destroyed, some parts of the houses are being carried away directly on the dnieper i saw such a picture with my own eyes. well, different building materials, everything, where exactly is it from, whether it was brought from the left bank or from the right bank, well, it is not known, but the picture looks really apocalyptic , but as for the flooding of houses, according to official data, there are already almost 2 000 1850 somewhere, such a figure was announced by the head of the regional administration. in fact, even in kherson itself

, you can see how some of the buildings have already gone under water or the water has reached the windows . for example, this is in the same ship building area well, but the emergency services work around the clock, they worked all night. so, they help people cope with this disaster, ivan. and tell me how the evacuation takes place , that is, the emergency services offer people to leave, and for those people who have already experienced flooding, do they somehow determine in advance what to do there is a threat and that is why you are already packing because you have to leave soon before all the work was carried out from the district island and there is such a situation that there was no particular choice , that is, houses are being flooded and people are of course that they decide to leave by the forces offered by the authorities, i.e. by buses, or yesterday, people were also taken to the evacuation

train and they were able to leave for mykolaiv , but this process does not happen by force, also people try to leave on their own, some by boat, some there, mykola drives with neighbors in cars, some there it is agreed that they will be taken away in the event that the water will rise higher, but despite that, i also talked with people who live near the river, and some hope that they will be able to survive it all because they say, well, we survived we will survive the russian occupation and oppression, the water will come and go, that's what they say, but according to the regional administration , the water will

remain for another 20 hours before kherson. to leave kherson, have you ever met such people, eh? yes, of course, you mostly meet people like this here. well, there's nothing to scare them, they treat everything like that, eh, philosophically, they stay in the city, but that's it. only those who are evacuating people who were near the train they said that well, we are trying to hope to return as soon as possible well, people say that maybe in a few days it will end but yes, i think in a few days it will not end yet i mean critical situations with equal the water will subside soon, but it is still here and it is spilling right next to me

. we also show the animals in the frame. what is the situation with the animals? whose animals may have been left in the houses near the houses, so people, as far as i saw, approached this issue very responsibly, they are trying to take their pets out, that market and moms and cats and dogs and all these people who are at home are trying to take them out and the same when it comes to manifestation of evacuation, they put in my mind people treat it with such requests that they take away their pets, and sometimes they even ask just to go and pick them up because they didn’t have time or

there were some other reasons, they were in another area. maybe on the moment of evacuation and so on, that's why, yes, and regarding the volunteers, well, separately, i did not meet the call for volunteers, but i see a message that there are also people who separately help to evacuate animals as well. what does the government promise, is there money and financial assistance where these people will live because we can also see on the footage that they will take with them one day except for the documents in the best case nothing is possible well, if we are talking about yesterday, then it was possible go to mykolaiv also to the north, let's say so. ukraine was evacuated by evacuation buses. unfortunately, i did not have time to record what the future fate was. yes, but as far as i know with previous experience, people are offered accommodation in

what kind of rest centers are there, for example . yes, in the mykolaiv region, where are they for them there will be allocated er already allocated er places , yes, in order to wait there at least for the first days to see what the situation will be , that is, the evacuation from dangerous areas of the kherson region, which are near the coast and which are constantly are under fire from the russian military and the same well, i think this is also happening that the evacuation is organized, that is, this mechanism can be set up for work because you follow what is happening in kherson ivan antipenko correspondent and radio svoboda was in touch with us and we continue to keep in touch, she is in occupied oleshki - this is a city on the unoccupied left bank of the dnieper. there, people are sitting on the roofs of houses. this was reported by

the mayor yevhen ryshchuk, and according to him , the occupation authorities abandoned the city to its own devices there are no boats, the curfew has not been canceled, it is said that people are saving themselves from heavy water by sitting on roofs, relatives of residents of flooded areas are also writing in local chat rooms and asking for help for their relatives , good people are sitting on the roof, if anyone has a boat, please help, the water is already under 2 m and it arrives on ozerny, i will cover the water, i am sitting on the roof, and it is coming. please help , parents, on the roof, the water is already there on the roof . kherson region, ukraine, sagas about the worst situation with flooding in oleshki the representative of the occupation authorities of the kherson region, the so-called head of the council of ministers andriy oleksienko, confirms that he says that the city is completely under water and evacuation from there is possible only with special equipment in oleshki , the occupation authorities allegedly sent urals and

kamaz vehicles, and from the occupied crimea, they seem to be bringing rescue boats for evacuation from the suburbs says oleksienko, they prepared a hundred buses, in addition , representatives of the occupation authorities and the ukrainian mayor declared that the situation in oleshki was complicated due to the fact that in forests are burning in some areas of the city, according to official data from the ukrainian side, the explosion at the kakhovsky hpp took place around 2:30 a.m. videos began to appear on the network at dawn, at first the water reached the lviv kozatsk boryslav district with salt, and from there it began to be evacuated, later the water level began to rise noticeably on the embankment of the prison that in kherson, as well as arriving in the ostrov microdistrict, i will remind you that according to the head of the kherson non-regional military administration oleksandr prokudin

, more than one and a half have already left their homes thousands of people, and water continues to arrive in the area itself, so rescuers, volunteers and the police are evacuating kherson residents, and in boats and cars, in some places, people were waiting for rescuers on the roofs of houses, because the water depth , according to witnesses, reached up to two meters, and some volunteers were evacuating people directly under fire, there are people you have the last things that survived, the water is almost up to the ceiling, what we can get, what we can't

, we erase. these are the things we have. the whole house sank , people were taken to the roof. unfold we no longer clung to the asphalt with our wheels, so we took the people who were on the roof of the pereprivet no longer vyshe ruček bolshe dvuh metro six radiator grill it is known that during the evacuation the russian forces opened fire and artillery as a result of which

two policemen were wounded this is reported by the ministry of internal affairs of ukraine in total , about 800 law enforcement officers are involved in the evacuation. the process is reported by the national police of ukraine.

others were left without a home by a volunteer from kherson, olga tsilenko, that is, she talked about it on her facebook page. olga lived in a neighborhood behind a beam that was flooded yesterday, the water went further . her two children were provided by friends, but the woman shared photos of what happened to her house, the photos show how the water level rose to half the ceiling , flooding household items, clothes, appliances and furniture olga writes that she didn't have time to save anything. since at that time she was taking out animals and lonely elderly neighbors , olga's photos were shared by almost 10,000 people and almost 350 people

left their comments. and now olga cylindko, a resident of the city of kherson, has joined the freedom of the mornings of olya. i welcome you to our broadcast. immediately ask how you are as children. it is difficult to imagine what kind of condition you are in. how thousands of people from kherson oblast or houses ended up under water . good morning, well, the children are still alive. they are still sleeping now , because i slept almost as much as the children yesterday. there was a tantrum, especially my 16-year-old son. well, this is a special feature of a private house, and he very early became such an independent man who did everything and when he left. yesterday i forgot my documents there, he went to rescue and saw that there was already waist-deep water in the house at that time then he began to get hysterical about the fact that

mommy, ruddenka, maybe they did all this to you and now there is nothing left . therefore, the children are in a difficult situation. but i think that we are being created. well, these are the houses we were there, that is, your son came back with the documents and saw the condition of everything because of the flooding, the water was only coming in, approaching the yard, and somehow i was still hopeful that it would somehow rise a little bit, and then he had to go back and he, well, then of course it happened with ryb, because the child who did everything with his mother knocked down the wallpaper, but they were doing repairs. well, he is like a little man here, everything is collapsing before his eyes , that's why the houses and the houses of your neighbors are in the same situation, everyone had to evacuate of course, we all left with the first departure. i don't even have a daughter 's driver's license. she only had to go to register for exams yesterday, but we

drove. we have a working car . neighbors are grandmothers. we have two single elderly neighbors without children, and then we already left with the second one. but we didn't have time to do anything because she arrived very quickly in 15 minutes, the river flooded 40 meters ago, we were only there, we grabbed the documents and and that's all well, they didn't take anything, nothing at all. i'm standing in front of you in a dressing gown now olya. and how did this evacuation take place? you saw with your own eyes what was happening and began to collect things . did the emergency workers come to you? mini called, but we were supposed to leave for mykolaiv there yesterday. well, at 6 o'clock in the morning, they woke me up and said that the kakhovskaya hpp had failed, well, we had already blown it up in the fall, before that at all, if only i had prepared morally, but then they thought the same thing that already

, well, whatever the mind is there, that's why we are we knew that, well, of course, there were buses taking people away, then we didn't see the workers, but those people who are able to walk and move independently, you understand, we survived the occupation, we survived poverty, we learned to live it in kherson, such a community was created, it is probably more common only in the occupied territories then you will face this, uh, a community of people who learned to live without power, you understand, we learned to master ourselves , solve our problems, that is, grab each other, grab the animals of the neighbor's grandmothers to feed the neighbor's if someone there is nothing to eat that's why i was waiting for the evacuation, we left on our own, took out whoever we could, and i know that our local men are absolutely alone at six in the morning, they would have known at seven in the morning, i'm giving you the chronology, because

ours and he after our district, there is only an island below. we are with an island. across the river, through a tributary of the dnieper, koshova, and uh, at seven in the morning , our guys have already gathered near there are such lazy collectors, it seems to be called correctly, here on the video where they show you , you can see uh rails railways they are not in the water that is, it did not cross the dam, the water entered our area through unfilled collectors, there are such sewage collectors, when it rains through these collectors from the city, the water flows into the river, and we were simply horrified in the morning when they did not arrive and did not start , they did not start the utility services fill up these collectors when there was still time because the water started flowing through these collectors at 10:00 a.m. until 10:00 a.m. they could be filled in. ugh

, it went to the district through the collectors and we have a video , that is, you have a lot of questions for the local utilities but we understand that they are three rhetorical men who have been trying to fill these collectors with shovels since 7 in the morning, but it is impossible because they are big , cars can pass under them, you understand, they are high, so that you understand the height of this dam if a car drives calmly under it this collector and this dam were thought to be, yes, yes, these are interesting moments that you mention . also, you wrote on your facebook that you could not take anything except the documents of yourself and your children . many elderly people were without help or remained without help, they still remained in the district almost only the elderly because the young people left at the beginning of the war and

then there was a second wave when we in the district were very heavily shelled in the healing areas of the city and uh, i told you i want to say what i have heard. i have not yet watched the speeches of the official authorities . i heard from you from a correspondent that the official authorities give the figure of 2,000 affected homes, so this is very far from the truth, because only on our street on the lower zabalka we have there to a thousand households, there are two quarters, and each quarter has 450 or 500 households on the record. that is, this is only our street , our small neighborhood, and then there is an island that is scary, no encroachments. it is nowhere at all. i understand that the official authorities are waiting for confirmation, as it is usually done. that the official information is later updated, so to speak. that is , you are saying that the consequences are much worse

than what is currently recorded in the official statistics you also wrote frankly about your situation on facebook, but now you mentioned that you only have a robe, but now what kind of help do you need other people from kherson , other people from the kherson region, is there any help from the state, from volunteers, or something like that. how did you call about help on facebook this is the only way we have to collect this help so that people just drop some finances, someone will hold on as long as they can, well, look , i don't know what kind of help the state will provide. uh, from the regional administration that the dam was blown up at 5:06 p.m., i received such an sms, which will be how i think that the authorities are not yet dealing with this, uh, i think that the consequences will be much more terrible because there is one more nuance that nobody

says that, for example, our thousands of homes, and i don’t know about other districts, did not have a central sewage system, it is technically impossible to build one, we had cesspools, and when my son arrived, it was terrifying because the district is flooded, not with water, the district is flooded faeces filled with water, this is our summer heat now, and i think that we will have much worse consequences. i was waiting all day yesterday for what someone would say about it, but everyone is silent about it because it is not water. olya, i thank you. i will note that the ministry of integration reported that that the evacuees from the kherson region will be paid financial assistance and it is about assistance in the amount of uah 2,000 per adult, uah 3,000 for children under 18

years of age and persons with disabilities. ah, this case has many consequences for the kakhovsky hydroelectric power station, and we don't know everything yet. we don't know everything, thank you, hold on. olga tsylinko, a resident of the city of kherson, joined the freedom of the mornings and shared her story . about 300 animals in the novokakhov zoo , fabulous dibrova, died as a result of flooding . about this the administration of the zoo said on social networks that the zoo was located on the occupied left bank of the dnieper, literally two kilometers from the kakhovsky hpp, so it was flooded in the first hours of the tragedy among the animals that died were monkeys, ponies, donkeys, raccoons, marmots and many others. on the facebook page of the institution, they said that only ducks and a pair of swans with a newborn chick were saved. the zoo workers , arriving the day before at six o'clock in the morning , saw that the territory had already been flooded on june 6. let me remind you that it was now

the zoo according to its employees, it ceased to exist the entire previous year during the occupation , the employees tried to save the animals. they collected money for feed, took the animals home to stay in the winter, there was no light and heat, it was impossible to get the animals out of the occupied territory, the death of the animals is confirmed by the volunteer organization ua animals, which now separately helps animals suffering from the war, but the occupation administration of novaya kakhovka denies the existence of the zoo in general, and they say that the information about the death of animals is not true. this is reported by the state agency russian-state agency tas with reference to emergency occupation services in populated areas from where the evacuation is carried out across large water ukrainian emergency workers ask not to leave domestic animals on a leash and to give them the opportunity to escape. cattle

are asked to take them out from domestic animals on their own . wow, brother, but wild animals are trying to escape from the flood with their own strength. but in kherson , a beaver came out on the street, presumably also having lost its home in another in the city , a fawn was pulled to the shore, and in nova kakhovka , a pair of swans swam in front of the cultural center, birds that mostly nest near the water yesterday flew away from the flooded areas with a wedge, this was filmed by olena pila's eyewitnesses volunteer yuanimals joined freedom early when well, i congratulate you, i congratulate you olena, is it even possible to evaluate now, since the animals
