[000:00:00;00] in fact, the ex-commander of the us ground forces in europe, ben hughes, also wrote an article and says that it will be possible to talk about the beginning of the main offensive of the armed forces of ukraine when large armored formations go into battle . and now traditionally at 9:00 a.m. we will observe a moment of silence in memory of the ukrainian military and peaceful citizens of ukraine who died in the war that was unleashed

was climbing. naked with naked children and neighboring houses where everything also flew away, people jumped out, carrying slippers, robes, water, blankets, blankets for children , what can we help you, what can we give you, what help can we give you, come to us , that's how we have people. they won't make it, in addition to this, there are three victims at a private enterprise under the rubble of the warehouse, there are people who are being sought, says lysak, there are also four injured at another location where a building and a car were on fire, an automobile enterprise and the rescue unit, all civilian objects, says the head of the regional military administration, in addition, russian forces again attacked kyiv with cruise missiles khas-101 555 , which were launched from the caspian sea in the previous time, all air targets above the capital

of ukraine were destroyed, according to the kyiv city military administration. of the general staff at night, russian villages attacked ukraine with 14 missiles and four missiles . air defense forces shot down 10 missiles and one drone. the armed forces of ukraine released in the past week 7 villages in the donetsk and tavriysk operational areas, the deputy minister of defense of ukraine anna malyar informed about it, in particular, the villages of lobkove levanne and novovrivka in the zaporizhzhya region, as well as the not-so-boring watchtower makarivka and blagodatne in the donetsk region, whose evacuation was reported the day before, said the deputy minister in donetsk and tavriyya direction , ukrainian forces liberated 90 m² there, the armed forces advanced approximately 6.5 km, in addition , ukrainian forces advanced on two flanks of the bakhmut direction there over the past week

they took control of 16 m² of territory, i note that the vertical telegram channel, which is associated with the ukrainian authorities, reported the liberation of the village of staromlynivka in donetsk region, but later it was reported that the russian forces pushed the armed forces away from this village in the russian ministry of defense about the loss villages do not report anything in the summary for the last day, they say that in the zaporizhia direction the situation is tense in the southern donetsk direction, the russian forces seem to be successfully repelling the attacks of the ukrainian military, but the withdrawal of the russian army at least out of three settlements in donetsk region, these are the makarivkas of blagodatny. it is not boring that the day before, the so-called russian warriors wrote, in particular, simenko blogger kostyantyn denisov, a fighter of the freedom legion, joins the broadcast of freedom of the morning. i congratulate you. what is happening in the zaporozhye region now , what successes are the ukrainian military or perhaps the forces of the russian federation, and on whose

side is progress currently being observed? at the moment, the situation remains difficult, tense, and we have certain areas where the intensity of artillery and rifle fire is not very high. there are movements in certain areas, er, in our favor, but er, well, without details, but we have to understand at what cost all these are being done movements literally. yesterday we visited the guys who are liberating our land. unfortunately , they have serious injuries and the consequences of concussions, and those will show signs of that, but the guys are now rehabilitating

and restoring. live forces er russians very actively use er various drones of various purposes er literally well with your colleagues maybe. they conduct active reconnaissance, then they cover with artillery, they have unlimited if it happens that in a day there are up to a thousand sleeps in various places, they release, if they are threshing non-stop, these are self-propelled units of grada ags eh tanks are shooting if eh they have different locking systems if that is why it is of course

difficult and stressful please tell me the russian ministry of defense says that the armed forces of ukraine in the zaporizhzhia direction are throwing new and new forces i mean people but they say that attempts to influence the defense forces of the russian federation are unsuccessful. how can you respond to such a statement from the official russian ministry of defense? and what is actually happening? well, it is actually difficult. i will explain why. their special forces, including those that took part in the battles for mariupol in the annexation of crimea, if these are units with a lot of combat experience. therefore, now, if well, we have to correctly say surrender that er, this is

a very er, experienced, serious enemy, and even if we are capable of any tricks there, er, insidious meanness, and therefore any of our there and movements of promotion, this all must be very carefully prepared, prepared and possible. to change at any moment, they can use various tricks and tricks, and many of their specialists in information and psychological operations stopped by here , but only yesterday the guys showed us such an example, allegedly the russians began to spread a video from the phone of a dead ukrainian soldier, which actually turned out to be a fake, but it was aimed at the ukrainian audience, mr. kostyantino, regarding the situation in the village

of staromlynivka, in telegram channels, in particular , in vertical telegram channels, there were various data , in particular, that the armed forces of ukraine said that they had already entered there but later there was information that allegedly the russian forces rejected the armed forces of ukraine from this settlement, they say that they understand that this is a strategic settlement there and it can later open the way for the armed forces of ukraine to other settlements, what is known in general about this side nik and what needs to be done to and under what conditions it can be done in order to de-occupy this settlement. let's do it. well, you and i are serious people. i highly respect all telegram channels, but all the final and true information is only available at the general staff and of the armed forces of ukraine and let all the final conclusions about this or that point, uh, we will make after their reports, so as not to harm and not to spread because it happens, i say again, go by your words, there is one piece of information, it then changes, then

once again changes only when the armed forces finally declare about certain settlements about their liberation return to ukrainian control then we will discuss it so as not to harm what needs to be done weapons weapons means of protection drones against drone guns this is what is needed now by the boys directly at the front and those boys who are being treated. and this should be created by a state program and the involvement of international institutions for the treatment of recovery after a concussion, because because of the fact that many boys are being blown up, their equipment is being attacked by russian kamikaze drones in many of these contusion, kuborat, injury is possible there . well, doctors know what it is called correctly, and because of this, we lose a lot of guys with serious injuries.

a normal life, but we faced the fact that currently there is no such system and it just happens to guys sometimes they don't even fix concussions or they fix but they dug in for five days and the shooters are returned back, this is not good for anywhere, is this how the topic to which journalists are transferred, i think they will also contact, they are constantly communicating with the army in order to understand how to transfer those who are directly now in the zaporozhye direction who have suffered serious injuries, this is of course important . please tell me what the weather is like where you are now are you there, is it possible for it to deteriorate and is it a deterioration can you somehow believe the pace of the advancement of the armed forces because the military from various directions very often say that if , for example, it rains, then it slows down the possibility of their advancement well, while i am forecasting that there will be rains , let's see, yes, of course, this can make corrections, certain corrections regarding the e-e advance and the situation on the contact lines, not only in terms of

the technical advance and in terms of the stay of our infantry , which probably suffers the most from these rains and you said that the russian army uses a lot of beer, and in one of the interviews you previously stated that there is actually a shortage of the palace on the ukrainian side , is it really so significant and how can this situation be changed drones are a big problem because that is what it is. it is a consumable in the war. it is necessary to supply and train the operators . because now. if there were some elementary requirements before, regarding the use of drones, now there are already many drones for various purposes. if they were there well, the requirements for the operators of these drones are increasing, well, those who deal with material and technical support and personnel training should work

to solve these issues, we are the legion of freedom in the zaporizhzhia region, we do what we can within our capabilities, we do both to provide drones and to train operators drones, but the problem still lies with the professional instructors, because we have, for example , a guy from the legion of freedom who was engaged in aerial reconnaissance, this is denys yasynskyi. unfortunately , he gave his life for ukraine a few months ago a cool boy, because for many years he fought in intelligence, our zaporizhian fighter of the legion of freedom, the memory of the boy konstantin is forever, the question will be about the defense line that the russian federation forces were building in the south. how do you assess the strength of this option in the armed forces of ukraine in order for these defense lines to break through, provided that there is a sufficient amount of weapons. for example, what ukrainian soldiers are waiting for at the front , they dug

in. including in some areas, you know, such fortifications, you can call them yakulovka zamanukhi, specially created where our guys go and then they are cut out from drones and simply covered with barrage artillery, so you have to work correctly here. well, for that there is special equipment , for that there are special lowered people perhaps these lines of defense are provided if there is a sufficient amount of this equipment , for example, it is program training, competent intelligence, if 7-7 planning operations, all this can be done, plus, we have not yet should forget about what could happen in kharkiv oblast , if russia runs, it will abandon all its fortifications, buildings chaotically, if

it flees, if they have competent engineering units, competent officers, and they have been building all these defensive structures here for a long time. thank you, thank you for this inclusion, for taking the time. kostyantyn denisov , you are a member of the svoboda legion from the svoboda broadcast morning take care the united states of america is preparing a new package of military aid from the pentagon's reserves. this was reported the day before by the coordinator of the national security council of the white house, john kirpi . of equipment for $325 million , the correspondent of karla bab reported on twitter that the list will likely include stryker armored vehicles and bradley armored infantry vehicles, as well as additional missiles for the nas and heimers system, it is interesting that john kirby, at the press briefing during the announcement of the aid package, noted that the white house knows exactly what kyiv needs and will focus on

ukraine achieving success on the battlefield. it is expected that the armed forces of ukraine will be able to use new equipment quickly replace the damaged or destroyed only one at the end of the previous week. that is, on june 9, the united states already announced the transfer of military equipment, ammunition and equipment worth more than 2 billion dollars in general, at the beginning of russia's full-scale war against ukraine, the united states provided military aid for more than 40 billion dollars , but the leaders of france, germany and poland met in paris to discuss military support for ukraine's counteroffensive and the future of security guarantees that can be provided to kyiv on the eve of the nato summit in july, the president of france last macron, at a joint press conference with chancellor of germany von scholz and the president of poland, because they were there in the philosei palace, said that he was quoting the ukrainian counteroffensive started a few days ago

that's why the country's leaders said that they will continue to support ukraine as long as necessary. our european correspondent zoryana stepanenko followed the details of the meeting. she is already in touch with us . congratulations zoryana. please tell me the details of what is known. congratulations olezhe for the negotiations in paris. how did you really describe the three leaders? collected several reasons at once. this is the preparation for the obilnov nato summit, from which ukraine expects security guarantees on its way to the alliance and specifics regarding accession and assistance her weapons here and now are too much for those. the counter-offensive that began a few days ago is a verbatim statement by emmanuel macron, which essentially confirms the reports that have recently been circulating in the authoritative western media . thus, the french president confirmed that the attack, the start of which was not going to be announced in kyiv, is ongoing and will unfold added for several weeks, if not months , said this offensive was carefully planned and the leaders want ukrainian troops

to be as successful as possible during this counterattack for the defeat of russia, its president must admit his mistake, and therefore the withdrawal of troops and the start of a serious dialogue about a just peace, the german chancellor believes, and macron hopes that this counteroffensive will allow kiev to negotiate as profitably as possible, and europe, in its turn, will ensure that ukraine has adequate military support and the supply of weapons ammunition, armored vehicles, and logistical support vehicles, we will continue in the coming days and weeks, we have always done exactly what we said every time in very short deadlines, we are now continuing the delivery of equipment and also supporting the maintenance of several units of already delivered that could be damaged so that wars do not repeat themselves in thus undermining security on the european continent, the leaders of france, germany and poland were thinking about how to prevent them and at the same time satisfy ukraine's request to provide its security guarantees. they must be reliable

, concrete and tangible , the french president said earlier. and he saw them somewhere in the middle , as he said, between the six israeli models in this country, the united states has long been supplying weapons without restrictions on use and full membership in nato, where exactly will it lie. this is the middle of a concrete model that the allies of the alliance have not yet publicly presented, and it is the specifics and the search for an optimal solution that are now the subject of active discussions between partners in which ukraine sees potential guarantees because such guarantees are needed by the german chancellor, who is cautious about the promises to ukraine of the nato membership plan, for which, unlike berlin , warsaw has no doubts germany and france, which are our allies in the usa, have always sought this mutual discussion in order to prepare it. we continue to do this very intensively and everything will be ready when a joint result is obtained as a result of the negotiations, but one thing is clear, we

need something similar and in a very specific form. i hope the future summit nato in vilnius will bring good news for kyiv that the future of ukraine's membership in the alliance will be clearly visible, that as i am told in ukraine there is a light at the end of the tunnel that ukrainians ultimately want to see when it comes to about membership in nato, it will appear thanks to the decisions approved in vilnius, the countries of the alliance see ukraine in their ranks, the nato secretary general spoke, that is, there is no longer a discussion about that uh, will it happen, a discussion about when, but ukraine is no longer satisfied with the prospect of an open door, a concrete road entry map otherwise volodymyr zelenskyi sees no point in his visit to the lithuanian capital radio svoboda sources in diplomatic circles of the alliance say that they are currently working on a joint declaration there themselves and they are looking for what words to choose for them in order to satisfy kyiv, the capital of the 31 nato member countries, with the nadvirnov decision and its consolidation of allies around a common

denominator. the secretary general is currently working and visiting ukraine, which is the largest donor to the alliance and therefore one of its most influential members the day before jens stoltenberg was supposed to receive the president of the usa, but the meeting where it was supposed to be about military support for ukraine in vilnius left for today, it was already canceled, as reported by the meeting, tooth olezhe thank you very much for the detailed information from zoryana stepanenko, our european correspondent, about the meeting of european leaders regarding the provision of a security guarantee to ukraine, which should be announced at the nato summit in july and constantly updated information from kryvyi rih , the previous number of dead there has increased to 4. this is reported by the office of the prosecutor general of ukraine. during this broadcast , because the rescue operation in kryvyi rih is currently ongoing, we will definitely contact representatives of the local authorities in order to find out all the details, so stay tuned the freedom of the morning project and quickly verified information will be heard on our airwaves, you will be able to find it out as well, and

the president of ukraine volodymyr zelenskyi said that fierce battles are currently taking place at the front, but the armed forces are moving forward. in the direction of bakhmut, noting that there the armed forces of ukraine are increasing the loss control, just as we need, and even though the weather these days is unfavorable, the rains are making our task more difficult but all the same, the strength of our soldiers gives results. i thank everyone who is currently in battle, everyone who supports our combat brigades in the respective directions of the advancement of the armed forces of ukraine at the front, commented in the united states of america, there expressed the hope that the counteroffensive will force russia to sit down at the negotiating table about this at a press conference , us secretary of state anthony blinking announced ukraine's success in the counteroffensive and would do two

things: strengthen its position at any negotiating table that appears, and that too may lead to the fact that putin will finally focus on negotiations to end the war that he started. he also added that the united states is determined to maximize support for ukraine so that it can succeed on the battlefield, and also announced that in the future exactly those nato in vilnius a powerful package as a political and and practical support in ukraine, so what to expect at the front, we will ask defense express expert ivan krychevskyi about this. i welcome you to our broadcast. good morning. thank you for joining the occupation by the armed forces. ukraine's villages in the donetsk region of the zaporizhia region and the advance in the bahmut, what can this indicate in your opinion, are counteroffensive actions giving the first results ? has the army of the russian federation breathed its last and is trying to go into deep defense , or does it have some other strategy, leaving the strategically unimportant ones on their side? in my opinion, the population centers are very different from one

another, if not for the contradiction, because on the one hand, the army there is trying to make some offensive efforts on the outside , such as in the bakhmute area, and in the avdiyivka area, if to stand out from even the official reports of the general staff, the largest number of clashes in the east was due to us as a sub-brand, and even if there is such a very interesting video from our army drones, if the podkupyansk was destroyed very successfully by the fp in the vadron, there are some russian tanks, armored vehicles it means that even there they are trying to create this type of wide front, but i see these in order to tease . perhaps our offensive efforts of what is happening there now on the front on our side can be described as well in general, we, moreover, in general, we will not say that it will be introduced in order not to sound in western sources, well, first of all, what if the main forces of the armed forces of ukraine have not yet been put into battle , because even if we focus on some specific videos that, unfortunately, have become widespread

, we we don’t see, for example, on the battlefield the same challenger 2 with shells with murat teams , we don’t see that some other such western signs of defense machines well, for example, the marder or the german wolverine armored vehicle, although logically it allows us to assume that such units will still be introduced. both from the other side, the fact that there is now an advance in the south, on the one hand, means that indeed the zsu has many victorious results and the number of destroyed occupiers of their equipment is increasing, but at the same time it is worth understanding that our troops are still up to the first line of fortifications, well, it seems like a 1,000-kilometer line of hatification that the occupiers were building on our territory, they have not yet approached, of course, by themselves, this fortification is already laid out according to the rule , because there are three echelons. the first of them is there

well, the so-called lesya sycamores and wagner pyramids cause certain kepsis, but then it starts on the second line, between which there can be an interval of 5 km plus the anti-tank level, normal standard engineering mounts begin, even when with customs pillboxes, and on the third line there are even trenches that allow you to covertly place this artillery. now imagine that once again , roughly speaking, to well, if you take the direction on the old line u, which are read as so different, not as an erection, then there are still a few kilometers of our the army must then go 13 km from the old mill to the very first such line of russian fortifications, now imagine that it is a few more kilometers of russian fortifications going on here, here are all the calculations, there is one such incomprehensible variable called the russian personnel that will hold these trenches because well then it's really a video that the russians began to use zagoriya against the triad and for the fsb to shoot those who retreat , but here it is not clear whether it will work to demoralize or to stabilize the administration that's why there are only careful

comments now, you know. well, maybe there are political comments in the style of what political result the success of the ukrainian winter offensive can push putin to, why are they now sounding one because they are sure that the countries of the west are ready to support ukraine militarily as long as necessary. well because this operation promises to be long, long, at least until the fall, and at least somehow, even here, it will be possible to measure not only the mileage of the liberated territories , but also the level, you know, of the destruction of rusichka armies so that it could not, well, restore its high-quality composition, well, of course, although of course that what, well, at the same time, there is a readable desire not just to cut this land corridor from the dugouts of the temporarily occupied donbas to the temporarily bathing crimea, but judging by everything, this corridor will be cut in parts to start the landslide, probably as i personally assume and this may be an incorrect assumption and it will

actually take a very long time - before that, it is possible that the u.s. army try to first cut through the russian communications in the azov region, why am i saying that if it will be good that i personally will be wrong in my assumptions because if according to open data it will not be possible to read the back of our calls , this will precisely mean that it will be unexpected for the enemy , accordingly the losses will be much higher and in the literal sense the russian soldiers can prepare to experience heavy losses did not start, your cat also wanted to tell something, but he was already silent. please tell me about the fact that if you analyze the settlements that were deoccupied and where the forces of ukraine are moving now, it looks like they are first of all, the strategic one is moving towards melitopol, mariupol, in order to get closer to crimea. well, this is how it looks at the moment if you analyze the map of the liberation of populated areas and what direction they are taking, if you can say so. well, you understand what is the specificity even with these russian fortifications. fortifications will not be
