the radio freedom channel, and you can also ask your questions to those speakers whom we invite to participate in this broadcast, so be active in the comments, russian forces launched 6 cruise missiles of the khas-101x55 type over ukraine at night and killed 16 drones at military facilities and critical infrastructure facilities. this is reported by the air force of ukraine and air defense forces ukraine shot down four missiles and 10 attack drones, as well as four reconnaissance drones on thursday, but as of now, it is known that one person died and three more were injured as a result of falling debris in zhytomyr oblast. in addition, 12 residential buildings were damaged and one was completely destroyed. on the fourth day after the destruction of the kakhovsky hpp, the water in kherson fell by 20 cm, oleksandr prokudin

, the head of the kherson regional military administration, said that 235 and two people and 550 people had already been evacuated from the flooded right bank of the dnipro prokudin urges people to leave and not stay in flooded areas to wait for the water to recede. in the meantime, on the occupied left bank of the dnipro, the mayor of oleshok yevgena ryschuk says that he has confirmation of the death of 9 people. water, in addition, there is information about two more dead people, whose surnames are still unknown, and it is currently unclear whether they are people from the list of the previously confirmed nine dead people or not - says the mayor, but the occupation authorities of the kherson oblast state about seven of those who died in kherson oblast due to the destruction of the dam, two of them allegedly died due to rocket attacks on the village

of gola prystan, according to volodymyr, the head of kherson oblast appointed by the occupiers, 62 people were hospitalized on the left bank of the dnieper; the ukrainian side notes that the occupation authorities did not organize the evacuation of people from the flooded areas, but the people who evacuated to kherson from the left bank of the dnieper tell what they had to escape on their own the day before the russian military shelled evacuation sites in kherson so a ship in the district's western part

of the city come on come on come on head of the kherson regional military administration oleksandr prokudin reported on 9 wounded people according to him these are civilian rescuers policemen the doctor and a volunteer noted that in the ministry the ministry of internal affairs refuted the information of the prosecutor general's office about one person who died due to shelling during the evacuation. ivan antipenko , a correspondent of radio svoboda who works in kherson is now in touch with us, ivan. i congratulate you. tell me what the situation is like in the city now. has the water started to fall? the water has started to recede and how many people have been evacuated as of now . what are the consequences after yesterday's shelling? several tens of centimeters have already started to fall, but what has it started to add up? this does not mean that it will go there in an hour or two and it will be possible to get some kind of access

to people there to their houses, uh, the water is still holding. that is, it is very slow the level of subsidence i think that as it has been rising for several days, for at least a few more days it will decrease or stay at a certain level at which people will not yet be able to reach their homes, houses will be flooded, so the evacuation continues, i know that it doesn't matter to the shipping area on the fact that on the island some people there decided to stay there and wait, so to speak, but i think that since yesterday there have been even fewer of them because the picture in front of them is so sad, well, high-rise buildings are being flooded houses are already several floors up there, that is why the evacuation of people from coastal settlements continues

, where a lot of water got into due to the spill of the dnipro and its tributary. and there, people are rallying and helping each other. now there is a lot of attention to kherson. and because people they lost everything there, if you understand, the houses are completely under water up to the roof, for example, and well, they are temporarily people temporarily moving in places to wait out this time, but what will happen next and how long can they be there without, i don’t know, without anything, that is, most of the things there some they can't take their personal ones. that is, many of you have been in a lot of things. they would have left for these places where they are collected. so there is a situation where people found themselves with nothing, literally saving animals there, taking their documents, and in addition to that

. yesterday we learned that the russian the troops shelled kherson. and tell me about this situation again, and they shelled the very places where people were evacuated. well, this situation, which was captured by journalists, significantly aggravated this nerve and the degree of the disaster , because in addition to the fact that people are escaping from the water people are still trying to save themselves from shelling, some colleagues also have to hide. some of my colleagues came under fire directly while interrupting on the water, and while also working with volunteers, the girl told me, i know how she counted those whistles. the civilian population

from the ship's square, well, if it's not some kind of secret there, it 's a known point there. that is, but uh, from this we can conclude that it is obvious that the russian military deliberately hit the extract people if i don't know how to comment on it, i'm not enough, iva says, but how is the evening, the night passed and the morning in kherson well, from what i heard, yes , there were no new shellings of the city during the morning and during the night . at least i did not hear about such i did not see it, but at the same time, we should not forget that in the kherson region on the right bank there are still many settlements that suffer from airstrikes, for example, in the boryslav district , there is a samboryslav snake in the belozersk

community, and explosions are constantly heard, so that's why we may simply not know a lot by the morning because the information comes late. and when you read later and see how many of these attacks there were, you understand that they continue, you can say constantly. and every day we have to save ourselves not only from heavy water and flooding, but also from the russian shelling ivan, i thank you for your work take care and see you on the air ivan antipetko correspondent of radio svoboda from kherson told about the situation there with ivan tipenko who just spoke with someone and continues to work in kherson , kherson oblast . he visited the village of sadov. water has been flowing there since the destruction of

the kakhovsky hpp dam. 70 houses were flooded there. in the center of the village of sadove, we can see that the houses are already almost under water, the locals say that people were evacuated from here or they managed to get out themselves well , now we are in the center of the village, let's say central street, kharchenka street, my store did not expect what would happen. everything is so large-scale and strong, so something was taken out a little, what was hanging was taken out in the village of the garden, there is no electricity at the beginning of november, there are problems with water from, respectively, now here is the main problem. yes , this is flooding, besides, after the release of the garden, as well as antonivka was very often attacked by generators, we have communication thanks to generators, that's why we have communication

. everyone told me, well, you can leave, it's an opportunity to stay over, i couldn't, they dragged me i can't get an apple here even now, well, the house is completely flooded , it is no longer fit for habitation, we are closer to the river, the water began to rise quickly , of course, no one thought there about any equipment, they grabbed documents, some money, some things, and well they took their dog and cat and left quickly. now the volunteers will distribute the humanitarian cargo for the local residents. through my hands , it reaches the people. they instructed me. i will show you that we have an apiary. there were more than 35 hives

, and now they are all gone. we did not breed them. take it away because it flowed so quickly from me, they are made of foam plastic, these beehives are sitting on the beehives, they are sitting on the beehives. glory to her afloat, and there the oak is saying, maybe something, it is arched . but i don’t like the kitchen. everything is under water at 5 m or 6 m/h, it’s all under water, i have two good washing machines and refrigerators and freezers and a tv set. well, like all normal people, everything is under water . we evacuated mobile citizens who were in the risk zone. with the help of volunteers we have 75 houses that are flooded, the degree of flooding is different, there are completely flooded, there are up to half of them, and today there is no water

. thank god, we have already survived occupations and floods here, and we have fried our eyes everywhere. we find positives in other ways . it's not a slipper that poisons bugs anymore , they want to destroy you, i'm probably interfering. we will drain everything, something may hold, it may not fall, then we will smear something , plaster and live, mykhailo podolyak, adviser to the head of the president's office, joined our broadcast , mykhailo. i greet you. good morning. the un is potentially ready to help with the evacuation of people from the occupied kherson region, but they are waiting for approval from russia in your opinion, what is the probability that the decision will be made

quickly, or will russia give such permission, and, for example , did the red cross react to the criticism of the president and minister kuleba regarding of their inactivity. and how many days have passed since the disaster after the terrorist attack? it's been almost three days. yes, and they reacted potentially. this word potentially describes the lack of potential. i apologize to such international institutions as the international red cross, because let's not forget that the ukrainian red cross is who really works constantly and is in areas where it is necessary to provide this or that aid, we are talking about the international and the red cross. and we are talking about the un regarding whether there will be permission from russia. well if russia wants to get some staged action together with the un, then of course they can give a certain permission somewhere on the seventh day of what needs to be done , but from the point of view of the russians, they absolutely do not care

what happens on the left bank of the dnieper, they are absolutely aware of what is there people are absolutely without help, sometimes this is another thing, and this is also the meaning of this, let's say, terrorist action on the part of russia. that is, it has demonstrated the education that it will behave aggressively enough in relation to any territories of ukraine and we definitely do not expect any kind of quick, but generally professional, competent reaction from international institutions, in which the key parameters are a humanitarian mission, humanitarian aid, that 's your position, but who is to blame for undermining the hydroelectric power plant is definitely russia, because according to your words, they also have a motive and access to the dam, which means engineering possibilities for mining, but in the usa and there in great britain, for example , they are waiting for the facts. and what evidence does the civilized world need and who and when can provide this evidence?

the right question, you know it looks like let's go a little wider, not even specifically the anti-attack on kakhovsky hpp, let's talk a little about the other one, see russia enters kherson , steals all the equipment there, i mean, well , civilian equipment, yes. in other words, it generally robs the city, leaves this city, blows up electrical substations there water tanks and so on after that artillery and in principle every night and every day it attacks the centers of kherson and so on and so on and so on after that it blows up the hpp and today we ask the question and who could have done this well, that is, well, ukraine can really do this correctly, despite the fact that this territory in novaya kakhovka is completely controlled by russian military engineers, well , an infrastructural structure such as a dam is possible only internally, and there must be a ton of this explosive somewhere, can you imagine, yes, a ton explosives 100-150 m need to be mined and so on. and it can be done without fail in 5

minutes and so on, but all this is clear and we, well , let's give some facts. and what should be, that is , come and say, look, i have a passport well, that’s right, but it’s clear to me, because if you admit that russia deliberately violated additional protocol number one of the 77th year of the geneva convention and used hpp as an indiscriminate weapon that is equal in scale to the destructive actions of weapons of mass destruction, well because weapons that are clearly aimed at the destruction of the maximum number of civilians , we have as much civilian infrastructure as possible, and so on. russia knows that this terrorist act was committed, you have to recognize the second step, that is, recognition russia is a legal terrorist country with corresponding legal consequences. and what is the answer, the same melted down, it should

be completely blocked for work in europe, first of all , the same others, the remaining ones, let's say russian banks, which nevertheless have a chorus of accounts and international banks in order for there to be any transactions there must be blocked must be blocked in general the transportation of, for example , russian oil via sea routes and so on, there are many, many options that will have to be quickly implemented and that will deprive a certain the number of people, i say so delicately, a certain number of people, including european, american people, and additional incomes , well, it is clear to us, and that is why they understood it for kyiv, for official kyiv, for ukrainians who have been living in a war for 9 years, more than 9 years and in a large-scale war it has been clear for more than a year, but is it clear in the west , and even the legal status of russia as a terrorist country, which you support and which you often talk about, well, in practice, in

order to recognize the entire country as a terrorist, well, in brussels, washington, and london are ready for this. no, they are not ready, as of today, they are definitely not ready, and this is not a question of evidence, that is, no evidence is needed, they are obvious . look, today, once again , there is a missile attack on our cities in uman, you know the arrivals of specific civilian targets objects this would already be enough, that is, there are facts, there is no need to prove what has already been proven, but today there is no desire, in principle , to finally put an end to the current political format, there is not enough political will as such, this does not mean that we have there, let's put down our hands yes and not work no, we have to talk about this on all platforms, what we will talk about with you now, there is evidence, there are facts , everyone has the appropriate behavior, there is the appropriate destruction of international law, let's get to the other legal statuses of the russian federation and we we will continue to do this, let's all be equal global communities

, today they absolutely definitely changed their attitude towards the russian federation, it is much sharper, it is much more clear in contrast to the beginning of the war or to wartime as such, you just have to say it all the time and you don't know how not to be offended on the one hand by the international community, yes i'm not talking about these international institutions that we initially talked about , the un there and so on, because it's generally a bit strange, i'll still remind you that russia continues to preside over the un security council as such, so not all of them are needed. i use exclusively the terrorist component in this war because there is no military component in russia as such mikhail and at what stage is the russian-ukrainian war now, there are many who compares the tragedy at the kakhovsky hpp, the results of which we do not yet know for sure, we do not understand, we do not even realize , and with chernobyl, with the beginning of a full-scale

invasion, what will happen next, what else is russia capable of , and what risks are assessed in the office of the president of ukraine, and do they perceive these risks in the same way seriously, how real are they in the same brussels, again there in washington in london, i will start with the last one, the risks are taken seriously , not the perception of risks, yes, the risks are taken seriously, including regarding , for example, the au as such yes, but are they ready to effectively respond to these risks is a slightly different matter , and look. but today we have to understand that they will give additionally, that is, they are aware of the risks and will speed up, as it seems to me today, the supply of certain tools, first of all definitely air defense systems. as such, first of all, this is definitely missiles to of these systems. well, maybe we will finally receive long-range missiles in a different volume that allow it

to influence . today, the initiative in the military sense is entirely with ukraine, and that is why russia, once again, i emphasize this once again, russia has only today terrorist instruments of influence on the kid, that is, they want wars at the expense of such, let's say, terrorist attacks as on kakhovsky , the motivation is absolutely clear, they want again show i don't take the military component of this what they did i don't take the component for the region of the kherson region i'm talking about the motivation of a slightly different plan at the expense of such a terrorist attack they are showing the world that there is no terrorist red line for us. so when we say escalation, maybe russia is showing that it can continue to escalate this war as such in a terrorist way, and therefore let's also parallel , er, what putin says is he ready to freeze the conflict, for example in the telephone conversations with the president of the republic of turkey, i will influence the europeans and the americans in order for us to sit down at

the negotiating table and freeze the conflict - this is the optimal scenario for everyone with ukraine , of course he does not want to talk because in our position is tough enough, you know it very well, it is constantly repeated that only exit to the border in 1991 is possible after that, again, not negotiations as races should, but negotiations how from the point of view of fixing the legal consequences of the war with the appropriate compensation mechanisms on the part of the russian federation, including with the extradition of war criminals, but we understand with you that this terrorist activity of russia today may not really be escalated because russia does not influence the course of events on the front line, well, it looks so that the level of escalation has already reached such a stage that the threat to the armed forces looks very realistic and it can affect the country. and surely they understand there, we know that the president of turkey called both zelensky and

putin after the destruction of the kakhovsky hydroelectric power station, and don't they think in the west, you already they said about the freezing of the conflict that this might be the only possible option, now put kyiv and moscow on the negotiating table to agree on a freeze so that there would not be such a nuclear escalation, and such a scenario would be possible, but we understand each other, i will ask a question in return. this will change the position of russia in relation to ukraine . that is, it will immediately observe international law , it will not provoke ukraine, it will not shell our territory, it will not glue terrorist attacks correctly , that is, the transformation of the political system will take place in russia and we will be safe with you, i will add to this. as soon as there is such a freezing of the conflict, we will be able to forget about the guarantees, respectively. well, if this well, if russia is not responsible for large-scale war crimes, then they will be afraid of her even more and therefore there are no effective security guarantees, we do not have membership in the e-e military european euro

-atlantic alliance nemo and in principle we remain one on one with a protracted conflict that will constantly, well, practically exhaust us completely, well, that is, we and you have economies no, people do not return money, there is no after a certain time, internal political conflict , well, we are aware of this, but without us, the table is broken, no one will sit down correctly, and this is definitely the most sympathetic scenario for russia it follows from the fact that the military capability is not enough to realize one or the other, they always definitely want to go for it. but then again, we understand what it will lead to and we explain it to our partners and the partners understand it. there is no pressure on kyiv. there is no pressure on kyiv. can be accordingly based on the position of kyiv for almost 16 months . it is obvious and the partners understand it, the partners are not ready to publicly recognize the different legal status of russia

here. because this is a complete restriction of presence russia is anywhere and then the un, for example, will have to suspend its membership in russia, not just to say you are not the president there, to suspend it, they are not ready for this, but they are aware that ukraine needs to be provided with additional military aid and they are increasing the packages today, but for us today it is a matter of principle this is not a discussion of some political mechanisms, they do not exist, i want everyone to be aware of this , there is no political mechanism, so all these proposals of some negotiation process are fiction, there will be no negotiation process today, you need to do only one thing: convince our partners that if you have 100 tanks, don't keep them, give 90 - you will build them for ukraine later. if you need 100 tanks, you will have a lot of time to reformat your army, and today you need to do it as soon as possible to give everything to ukraine because this is the only safeguard against the escalation of the acceleration of the counteroffensive as such acceleration of offensive actions and de-occupation because when russia begins to lose significantly

then russia will transfer all processes to its own the territory they will begin to move quite actively there because then there will be a very weak vertical of putin's power and the elite, well, even those who are close to putin, they will start redistributing the classic russian and the distribution of influence, and this will be a safeguard so that such escalating actions will no longer take place in relation to the gas station, well definitely we don't have organizations with you today waving is fully financed, well, not fully partially financed by the russian federation, the agency is completely saturated with russian citizens who occupy the relevant positions there and definitely this is a little bit of the same mr. grosiya who says and let's not just shoot outside the village in this way we will secure and let there let the heavy russian equipment remain let there remain the forged mines of the territory as such but let's just, we'll just do it the pretense that you are not attacking a hare well, this

is nonsense, that's right, because ukraine had its own absolutely effective security protection plan , rather than europe - it's the demilitarization of 30 kilometers - it's you from heavy equipment demining of intermediaries, yes, that means having an increased presence there, showing and so on . therefore, we must be aware that russia will follow the path of escalation of this type of terrorism. with you, it is the right thing to do. it is necessary to work with this information diplomatically , to take a principled position and, in principle , to enter into negotiations on increasing military aid to ukraine. mykhailo, you say that russia is now fighting a terrorist type, but what about of the military there in the ministry of defense of russia they declare that they have already stopped the counteroffensive ukrainian, tell me how things are going now the counteroffensive is taking place in the zaporozhye direction, can you tell me any details, well, look, we never, it
