what i would like to note is that this is without any additional forces, that is, the guys are working on these tasks operationally, really, there is progress, almost daily 50-70 m 200 m well, during this period , almost a kilometer, the guys have really come in recent weeks. russian forces are hitting the central part of the city, they said earlier. transferred to the central part of the city before, for the most part, about 60 percent of them were in the old part of the city, which is closer to the front line, already to the so-called contact line since the 14th year. the central part of the city

a bust of a larger steel artillery is a hail system well, of course, a rocket strike without it, unfortunately, we don’t have a single day and yesterday is no exception to that eh, also yesterday they hit the city twice with new rockets, thank god eh, there are no casualties eh for yesterday well, there are no such serious destructions, uh, for yesterday, well, there are isolated shellings that take place both at night and during the day, and no one even counts them, because there are hundreds of them per day , we only count mass shellings well, in the past day, there were a little more of them 20 massed and about 200 according to the positions around the city, what is there in the city at all now for existence and do you record many cases when people return after evacuation, including after the forced evacuation of children, currently

1728 people remain in the city it's mostly 60 percent, maybe 65, it's older people, it's 65+, increase this category of people, of course, there is also a little younger, 60 and 55, anyway, these are people, let 's say, for the most part, it's probably 80 percent for for for for 55 this is exactly on account e-e on account what people survive is only humanitarian aid, there is one store in the city , which, in principle, satisfies those needs , which are not available in humanitarian aid, which do not have food kits, which do not have hygiene kits, that is , humanitarian aid - this is, let's say , the minimum kit that can relieve the needs of a person, yes for a more or less normal existence, but people have it. no , well, let’s say something. there is no humanitarian aid and they use the store

. there is no water. there is no light. in principle, well , accordingly, if there is no light, there is no television. there is no internet , there is no stable connection, er, connection er, well, we are raising the mobile network somewhere around 14, now in the summer, there is a mobile connection 16 hours a day, but it is just a mobile connection, er, not mobile internet, er well, in principle, there is a hospital on site, two doctors, four nurses, and under these conditions, they are trying to provide the maximum possible services. well, in the corners after evacuation , especially those who return, how many such cases do you record, and is it true that people with small children return back to the audio store not so much now people return like this

you know, there was a mass wave of return, it was even before the new year, for some reason people somehow thought that they could return and spend the winter in the city, then about five hundred people there in literally three weeks returned to the city , they are leaving little by little. now, well, for the most part, well, there are almost no such cases, but those cases are due to children , so they are, unfortunately, uh, there are uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, three children, uh, in that week , relatively speaking, the information passed that the parents and children returned to the city, uh, these children, uh, already these are two girls, one 6 years old, the other ten years old, and a 17-year-old boy , as soon as the information arrived that the children in the city appeared to thank the volunteers who are looking after this situation and to thank those who understand that it is no longer a joke when children return to the place and gave us

this information was found and taken away from all three children, i.e. those children who returned to the city with their parents, they no longer have a place, and that child is the only one who still remains in the city. this boy is officially 12 years old. well , unfortunately, we still can't find him. really, well. almost for three months, the search for this guy has been going on for more than one and a half months. we don't even see his parents. they are also hiding behind us. there were several versions that it is possible that they left somewhere safer in the community of the donetsk region. said that they went to visit relatives in the following, this information was checked , it was not confirmed anywhere in ukraine, they were not registered as a temporary transfer of a person . well, the fact that the phone has been constantly out of touch for the past month and a half, i am talking about the fact that after all, well, most likely they are in the city. well, there is still an official version, maybe, god forbid, that they could die somewhere in the old part of the city, uh, the search continues, we are looking for them in

the central part of the city. there are definitely no re- well , multi-story buildings every day are checked i don't know, we already have all these basements along and across i don't know how many dozens of times we have gone around er the old part is a bit more difficult because there are about 5,000 er households yard and it is very difficult all the more so i will repeat er line the front is very close there, well, the outermost streets are sometimes 300 m right up to the cops well, accordingly, it is not only a threat there from some artillery mortars, but just a shooting range flying over the old part of the city, so it is very dangerous and difficult. well, nevertheless, the police and the transferred police forces, while kyiv and the volunteers are not indifferent places, they also help us in this search, well, we hope that the boy is alive , we will find him soon, we will take him out. i thank

you for such details. vitaliy barabash , the head of the avdiiv city military administration, joined the freedom good morning, thank you and have a good day, the ukrainian army liberated the village of pyatikhatki in the zaporizhzhia region, the deputy minister of defense of ukraine, hanna malyar, announced this, in general , the units in the tauriy direction advanced to the depth of the enemy up to 7 km. vacated 113 square kilometers that russian troops had left the village of pyatikhatki in the zaporizhzhia region, russian telegram channels and the representative of the occupation authorities of zaporizhzhia, volodymyr rogov, wrote the day before in the morning however, already in the evening, rogov said that the russian forces had knocked out the ukrainian military from five houses and now the population center is allegedly in the so-called gray zone, meanwhile , the russian ministry of defense reports from day to day that they are successfully repelling all attacks from mortars near this village. i will note that the village

pyatikhatki became the eighth settlement liberated by the ukrainian army since the beginning of june. previously, the ukrainian general staff officially informed about the de-occupation of blagodatny makarivka, a watchful and boring village in donetsk region, as well as about villages novodarivka levadne and pubic in the zaporizhzhia region in russia, the ministry of defense has not yet recognized the loss of any of these villages. at the same time, the ukrainian troops are probably suspending the offensive in order to review the tactics of future operations, the american institute for the study of war writes about this, analysts cite the opinion of the head of the estonian force defense intelligence center, colonel margo grosberg, who recently stated that according to his estimates, during the next seven days of the offensive, there will be no ukrainian forces should have suspended their offensive actions in order for the command to be able to review further tactics and the newspaper wrote in the island-journal in the american institute for the study of war that this

information coincides with the previous observations of their analysts regarding the scale and approach of localized ukrainian counterattacks in the south and east of ukraine at the same time analysts say that operational pauses are a common feature of large offensive measures and do not at all mean the end of ukraine's counteroffensive , the serviceman of the ukrainian armed forces oleksandr govryko i joined the freedom of the morning, oleksandr. i congratulate you. thank you for joining me. as far as i understand, you are in the direction of ughledar. can you tell me what the situation is there , because it looks like the armed forces of ukraine are advancing there and there is good news . tough battles are really going on, and from ughledar himself there is a certain the advance to the southeast for several kilometers, but the fighting is still going on, so we will not talk about

it in relation to any settlements west of ugledar in the area of ​​the great novosilka, it was managed to eliminate the so-called bremen salient, the russian occupiers push them to the south, the battles are now continuing south of the makarovka there , and our units continue to make a fire impression on the russian occupiers and push them back even more . for the moment, you will not make specific points regarding the ugledar. novosilky, i indicated the settlements, fierce battles continue, the russian occupiers are trying to counterattack, but are suffering significant losses in manpower and equipment and

our units, the units of the armed forces, are pushing them away little by little and moving on. do you have information about pyatikhatki, that in zaporozhye the occupiers previously reported that the armed forces had entered there, we already have official confirmation from kyiv that pyatikhatki is under the control of the armed forces of ukraine, do you know you know something about this and how important even such small villages are liberated by the armed forces of ukraine when we talk about the situation at the front in general about i know from official sources and all settlements are very important because this is our land and we have to release all of it regarding the advance here for significant breakthroughs. we cannot expect because the enemy has built powerful defensive positions , so

our artillery must make an impression on them. we see little by little in different directions our units are moving forward, there are such conclusions from analysts of the institute of war studies that ukrainian troops may temporarily suspend counteroffensive actions in order to revise their tactics for future operations, how do you see it? you see how true this information is, in your opinion, i do not think that it will be a suspension precisely because, as i said, the artillery must first work out the positions, work out the rear of the enemy , and after that our units will be able to advance and will be able to apply to the next enemy positions

, therefore, the work to destroy the russian occupiers will continue, possibly without active advancement, but i would not say that this is some kind of suspension. right bank of kherson oblast last year, in which our unit also participated, it began at the end of august, and we completely passed the first line of the russian occupiers at the beginning of october, then the situation went faster, and we know that kherson was already liberated by the end of november, so fierce battles continue, our units are advancing, this is significant the work of the counteroffensive is not only when the infantry occupies some populated areas, it is also the work of our other branches of the military and it will continue successfully, but

we will be able to achieve some final result to see a few months later, you resorted to such parallels with the right-bank kherson region and with the deoccupation of the territory there . such a significant obstacle and delay for the armed forces of ukraine when we talk about a counteroffensive in those territories, of course, this is a significant obstacle for the russian occupiers to resist , they understand that in the event of a breakthrough of their defense lines, they will be pressed to the sea they either cling to the cities near the sea or retreat to the crimea, that is why they understand that their situation is difficult, they are resisting , and indeed there are fortified defensive positions, but

fierce battles continue, our units cope with this and village after village are liberated from the enemy and finally, is there more places where russian forces are actually attacking and not defending in the southern direction. i wouldn't name such places. maybe in the east, but we are working in this direction. here , russian units can only carry out some local counterattacks, but in general they are defending themselves and retreating under the pressure of our armed forces for joining the freedom of the morning serviceman of the armed forces of ukraine oleksandr voytko was a guest of our morning stream tankmen of the 35th separate brigade of the marines of the armed forces of ukraine told radio svoboda about the offensive that their

unit is conducting in the south of the donetsk region same as of mid-june, the marines freed most of the area from the occupation of the russian military, they advanced more than 6 km along the wet river, so the villages came back under the control of ukraine, it is not boring strorozheva and makarivka, it was the tankers who broke the road for infantry operations and stormed the positions of the russian troops, see the details in the story of roman pagulych and i just have to warn you that the video contains footage of a real battle and may shock you, and watch the full version of this material on the youtube channel of svoboda radio

i am you i'll say it 100%, the company did 1000, that's all, the boys told us that we were going to break through , but that is, no one had any doubts. if the crew and you understand something and someone will be worried, well, inside the car, there could be a tragedy. and everything was working well, let's show us, let's say, what will be the point where you need to work, where you need

to work from, the envelope is how many 28 pieces if you go to the point to work and for their map to be displayed there, well, it takes 7 minutes, so i say it’s possible in 5 minutes, the conveyor takes off and leaves a projectile there. 14 well, when it leaves, you always have to put a couple of such projectiles , so they’ll overcome it later. we searched for three days, well, three days. we went on the offensive, so the first stage was to knock the enemy out of their position. they were near the landings. we knocked them out. the second

stage was that the enemy had already taken up the defense. you know which village i’m talking about. that’s in the village. the position of the focal point, the task was to approach the toll and defeat the enemy . he didn't expect that we would pick up close. there is a difference from kherson . there is more of them here, that is, meat. there is more equipment , more irta, more screaming morozhevska here , a little more of them. well , in principle , it is. theirs is here to say that it was easy, it was not easy, it was not easy because

it was necessary to break through the routes, well, thanks to the same soldiers, everyone who has done something for me . well, we are doing an excellent and good job . было всё время высовываться смотреть well, that is, they will watch the introduction of mechanics so that we don't blow up, at the same time intense fire was shining on us. well, that is, how would you sweat a little? well, thank god, everything worked out. the first results of this trip in the course of negotiations with the chinese minister of foreign affairs tinggang brinken invited ganazo to pay an official visit to the usa, it has already been called historic because

it is the first visit of a high-ranking diplomat in the united states over the past 5 years, anthony blinken, as noted on the website of the state department, spoke with his chinese colleague about issues that cause concern, in particular, the war between russia and ukraine. blinken summarized the meetings as frankly meaningful and constructive, the report was similar, and he assured the minister of tsinghan that china seeks stable and predictable relations however, according to him, now they are at the lowest level, probably blinkin will meet with the head of the people's republic of china, sisinping, about this , voytsev writes, the american was planned back in february however, it was postponed after the united states shot down a chinese plane in its airspace. according to the american cnn, at least for the time being it is trying to play the role of a peacemaker between moscow and kyiv. chinese peace proposals were criticized for not containing calls to russia to withdraw its troops from ukrainian territory. china will last two days, western observers believe that with this

visit blinking began to prepare the groundwork for the meeting between joe biden and xi jinping this year, and then we will talk in detail about the visit of african leaders to ukraine and russia, the president and several african states, i will remind you, undertook mediation in the search for peace between moscow and kyiv, in particular, at the end of the week, they met with presidents zelenskyi and putin and offered them a plan for african countries to achieve peace, which consists of 10 points my colleague oleg followed the visits to kyiv and st. petersburg , we will ask him more oleg, hello, a word for you, hello katya, greetings to the audience freedom morning, the visit of the leaders of african countries began first of all with kyiv and was almost accompanied by an international scandal, as the journalists of the svitel live publication write, with the president of the south african republic, the gate of the pit was closed, who in fact headed the delegation to kyiv. dozens

of special forces for protection and the media were also supposed to arrive, but this plane was forced to get stuck in poland in the one to warsaw, which required permission to weapons that were on board, and there was also a misunderstanding about who should lead everyone to rzeszów. it was through this city that the train to the ukrainian capital lay, so the special forces eventually stayed in poland, and the head of the security service ramaphosa, reacting to the events , said that because of this, the head of state's life was said to have been put in danger . of all the members of the delegation, among them the leaders of the south african republic of zambia, senegal and egypt arrived in kyiv , the ukrainian capitals, the leaders of the african states had to go into hiding because of

the threat of missile strikes, but this moment the delegation presented in two ways from the first, as the south african publication news24 wrote, the spokesman for the president par vincet magmenia denied reports of explosions in the capital, assuming that this attack was allegedly disinformation , the media noted, and later the president of the south african republic confirmed the missile strikes on the african delegates from the kyiv region visited bucha in particular, which is a kind of symbol of the crimes of the russian federation military during the full-scale war, and then talked about the peace plan from of the african countries, the president of the pair named the 10 component positions of the african union countries regarding russia's war against ukraine, what is important is that this peace plan was also presented on behalf of the congo and uganda, the most important thing, according to the president of the pair, is that this war should be settled through negotiations through diplomatic means. where the escalation of the conflict takes place, when we were here we heard about missile strikes, and such actions do not contribute to strengthening the peace, other points of the peace plan , in particular, talk about the sovereignty of states and

peoples in accordance with the organization's charter the united nations must exchange prisoners, humanitarian issues, the need for security guarantees for all countries, ensuring the movement of grain fertilizers and post-war reconstruction, but not withdrawing russian troops from the territory of ukraine, to understand the reaction of the ukrainian authorities to the proposed points for achieving peace , you can simply observe the expression on the face of the ukrainian president during the press conference of volodymyr zelenskyi, his facial expressions are actually more eloquent than words in some moments, and to put it briefly , zelenskyi said that ukraine demonstrated the world is in its own power in matters of food security, in particular, ukraine says zelenskyi helps the world and many peoples of africa, asia and europe to maintain social stability, but to what extent is the decision of african leaders to go to russia logical, says the ukrainian president, it is not very clear to him, i will point out once again that real peace is needed, but therefore, the real withdrawal
