terrorist attack on the city of sumy by the iranian a drone, in particular, on residential buildings and also on the building of the security service of ukraine as a result of these strikes, there are wounded and there are dead people, my condolences said the former head of the regional military administration, dmytro zhivytskyi. there is one kind of anger, anger because this tragedy should and could have been avoided, why was the alarm not announced if it was known that these shaheds were flying towards sumy as soon as they were spotted on the border of the sumy district and there are many others, why am i just shocked by what has been happening in sumy oblast in recent months, in addition to the regional center, russian forces shelled 8 communities in sumy oblast, three people died there, in particular, the shalygin community , russian troops shelled the yunakiv community with mortars from artillery, and border settlements of sumy oblast were also

shelled from from the artillery in the direction of bakhmut, the situation escalated. this was reported by the deputy minister of defense of ukraine, anna malaryi, according to her, between the ukrainian and russian military there a duel continues for seizing the initiative, the situation is changing very rapidly, control over them and the same positions can be lost twice a day and recovered, the enemy actively reacts to all our actions and creates in threatening directions along three lines of defense on the southern flank in the area of ​​klitschivka, our troops with battles but they are advancing instead on the northern flank, fighting continues, according to the painter, it is also restless in the very place of bakhmut, where russian forces are constantly firing to disrupt the logistics of the units of the armed forces of ukraine and inflict maximum casualties on them losses, and the ukrainian forces also do not allow the russian military to move around the city and hit their positions with fire, says the painter, earlier the spokesman of the eastern group of the azsu

, serhiy cherevaty, reported that the russian army is holding a powerful group in the direction of bakhmut, that is, up to 50,000 people and more than 300 tanks and more 140 rocket salvo systems , then we talk about the situation on the flanks around bahmut and the situation in the city with the military who is currently in the direction of bahmut, the french commander of the air reconnaissance unit joined the freedom good morning. i welcome you to our broadcast. thank you for joining us. we wish you well. thank you for inviting us. hanna the painter says . you can see even on the map of the city, that is, it is uh , day two, three, and we are liberating here more and

more new ones in our territory. therefore, now the initiative is completely on our side, and the enemy is now very not sweetly, but at the same time, hanna the painter says that if, for example, yesterday they talked about the initiative and the fighters were talking to us on the air on the side of the armed forces, then today she the painter says that the initiative is a struggle for no initiative, what does it look like how can you describe it, well, look, everyone who conducts offensive actions a priori has the initiative because he is attacking and the other side is defending . now we are actively attacking, so i believe and this is my personal opinion that the initiative is on our side and of course i can only say for the third assault brigade, because i am in it, i take an active part in these actions and do everything possible to make it successful, because as far as our brigade is concerned

, the initiative is completely on our side and we have as long as everything goes well in terms of equipping the russian forces. the fact that there are 50,000 people on the bakhmut direction from the russian side, more than 300 tanks, 140 rocket salvo systems, what can you tell about the equipment of the russian forces, and actually who exactly is fighting on the russian side and taking part in these i understood, see about the price is the usual motorized infantry, of course, airborne, and they have what they have, that is, they have rocket launchers, they have tanks, they have bmps, and actually that’s all. that’s right, and there are a lot of them, of course, but we continue almost every day every day they still destroy equipment, we heard that the russian forces throw reinforcements in the direction of bakhmut, what does this show that

the existing forces are not able to cope, that they are not going to give in and where do they get this resource, where do these troops and this equipment come from, from which directions is it possible flips what do you know some honor to the territory and already in the evening a fresh force is coming there. that is, they are thrown on armored vehicles and they continue to perform their combat tasks there. well, how can you say those who survived after the ato shelling continue , they try to continue and extract their wounded, because after all, this is not wagner , they they do not abandon their own and try to save them, so what can you say about the operational situation in the city of bakhmut, earlier it was said that ukrainian snipers are working there. can you tell and share

information about what is currently happening there i cannot say the operational situation in the city of bakhmut. for certain reasons, i can only say that soon. it seems to me that bakhmut will be ours again. i thank you for connecting with the military, which is currently in the direction of bakhmut. the french commander of the air development unit was a guest of svoboda. morning, thank you, the defense forces continue to advance in the direction of tavria the direction was lost for almost three years, and this is about three hundred people, we are talking about the killed and wounded, writes tarnavskyi, in addition, the ukrainian military destroyed 34 units of russian equipment, among them the k-52 helicopter - this is a combat reconnaissance attack helicopter of the russian aviation, which is also called an alligator, its military shot down 36 separate

brigades of marines. this was reported in the unit itself, and it was done from the javelin anti-tank missile complex . previously, the deputy minister of defense of ukraine , hanna malyar, reported that in the south of last week, the village of defense of ukraine liberated about 28 m² of territory and are advancing in the melitopol and berdyan directions , since there are reports of such news, we invited valery hornshny, the spokesman for the united press center of the tauriy region force defense, to the air. i welcome you, mr. valery , to our air good morning ms. kateryna , tell me about the fact that the defense force continues to advance in the direction of tavria. we heard a statement from the commander of the operational and strategic group of troops tavria oleksandr tarnavskyi. can you tell me the details, where exactly what kind of advances are we talking about? yes, of course, in the tauri direction, the defense forces are systematically knocking the enemy out of position, they continue to advance

, yes, in the berdyan direction , the largest advance into the depth of the enemy's defenses was recorded up to 2 km counter-battery combat is carried out by artillery against detected enemy targets , demining is carried out, and it must be emphasized that the enemy is putting up fierce resistance. however, we we are systematically putting pressure on certain areas of the front and mercilessly pushing down the combat potential of the occupying troops over the past day, the enemy's losses are irreversible, i.e. killed 72 occupiers wounded, i.e. sanitary 176 people destroyed, 36 units of the enemy's weapons and military equipment, in particular, two tanks, 9 armored combat vehicles, eight artillery systems and mortars four rocket systems

of salvo fire were destroyed, air defense equipment, one anti-aircraft gun pancyr s and 2 anti-aircraft missile complexes, we separately highlight the number of destroyed ammunition warehouses, two of them and one control point destroyed, days have passed, these statistics indicate the colossal volumes of work performed by the defense forces and the military of the direction, in particular, and however, this tells us what intensity we have and how it is increasing. as far as i know, he was shot down by the soldiers of the 36th separate marine infantry brigade. tell me what you can about the details. this is how the guys from the 36th separate marine infantry brigade named after rear-admiral mykhailo bilinsky distinguished themselves again.

the fighter wrote to mayak, the commander of the mobile unit against the tankers eliminated the attack on the k-52 helicopter, information about this was spread yesterday immediately after the fact was confirmed, and the event took place on july 2 in the direction of berdyansk, alligators were walking at the lowest possible altitude, hiding from e-e air defense systems , the calculation officer noticed the target came from a handy american atgm javelin and made a successful launch earlier this young officer proved himself as a master marksman in the avdiiv direction and has five destroyed units to his credit armored heavy equipment, i will remind you that in mid-june, we talked about how a pseudo summer fighter from the 36th brigade eliminated a k-52 with a manpads needle, and here is a new unique fact of the single-mindedness of our servicemen .

we are already talking about the losses from the russian side, that the forces of the russian federation suffered losses in killed and wounded, and this is almost three years, if i understand correctly, it is almost three hundred people , and do you know under what conditions the enemy suffered these losses, how did the ukrainian forces hit the enemy do you know that recently, brigadier general oleksandr tarnavskyi, the commander of the tavria group, gave an interview to a respected american media and , when asked how the battles are going, he answered that this is a frantic confrontation, anti-tank units are being manipulated by aviation, missiles, and the russians have set a priority task of destroying western-nato-style weapons for for them, the main thing is to destroy, including american equipment, and on the other hand, they are panickingly afraid of the tactical and technical characteristics causing

them to panic in front of american or western european models of weapons and equipment, and our soldiers use it effectively, noted the commander of the tavria group oleksandr tarnavskyi, and these are the goals, such effective work shows how successfully we are working now. if it comes from which can be transferred from other directions, then there is a certain reinforcement because if we talk about the example of the marin direction where we are holding the defense, then it is here today's summary includes the following facts: under enemy air strikes and artillery fire, our defenders repelled 15 enemy attacks in the area of ​​the city of marinka, the enemy shelled more than 15 nearby settlements, among them

their condition? the work is ongoing. indeed, the situation is very tragic and tense because the alarm has just been sounded and the work continues, we again held a headquarters meeting in the morning because the headquarters urgently visited ostapa yesterday to liquidate a criminal organization all employees of all fields are involved. who should do the relevant hmm work regarding the analysis of the debris, regarding the establishment of order, the treatment, the provision of assistance to the really injured people, we have added plus two for yesterday, we have 21 injured and, unfortunately, three uh, three dead people, although at the beginning, there was information from one person, but the work continued and after they were almost completed, such uh, unfortunately

, tragic statistics appeared, well, now we have declared today the day of mourning and today the whole city is in mourning uh, we are also uh we work with those who are in hospitals, because we have four people, now there are four members of the residents who lived in these houses, they are in the hospital, all the others received medical care and are no longer in the hospital, we gave people the opportunity to stay in the dormitories yesterday, and many people went to relatives and close ones. also , today we are gathering all the residents of this house and we will discuss the issue of various types of financial assistance, because we understand that today, in what situation they are in, there is still no admission to all

apartments, there is access to only one part of the building there today, it is now dangerous, and it is very dangerous there right now where i hit the chessboard, and not all apartments are allowed to come and maybe take some of my things, but i am now after the meeting is happening right now, by the way, i left just to add information to you, but now there is a meeting of the headquarters, all the employees of all the necessary structures are now working to decide when it will be possible for the prize to start on such a large scale e-e works on e-e construction works on restoration mr. oleksandr and tell me , is there now? are there people under the rubble ? there is no such information

now. that there are no people under the rubble, that all the evacuees, tell me the ex-head of sumy ova, dmytro zhivytsky, wrote on his facebook page, he himself noted that this is an emotional post, that he is so angry because this tragedy should and could have been avoided, and he asks questions why was the alarm not announced and if it was known that the shahes were flying in the direction of the sums and actually, well, there are many of them. probably with a hint why the shahes were not shot down, what can you say if the alarm was not really announced and do you share such emotional experiences the attention of the former chairman, you know, i share valuable today, all the announcements and expressions concerning our enemy, because ah, uh, today, to talk about whether there were or were signals to drink alarms, i personally

recorded them and the residents heard tritologies, there would have been two of them there were two of these signals, er, so what refers specifically to the statements of people who are not in ukraine, i think that i cannot comment on this and do not want to, because yesterday , for example, i did not publish any information regarding the arrivals themselves where it was and did not add information until the information of the official sources are those who have the right and must do so in order not to cause us trouble in the future, because the political scientists did not listen to the signals and it was impossible to write , nothing could be shown in order not to give the enemy information so that they would not go there again i heard about it, they have already said it repeatedly at all levels , and the security service, the police, and the regional administration, and it is possible to talk about it together, that's why we don't give information to me during the tragedy, we don't give it, but after it already it can be given and when the official sources

of information about it do so we then duplicate it because we provide help. we want it to be us who do not paint. on this, i always said about this that it is not necessary to use this information in order to show something , you can just write without a photo, write your own an opinion without a photo, how we hate the enemy today in february, and you can write about it, and about the fact that someone there draws some conclusions, then this should be done by specialists and those structures that directly deal with everything , our task is your position. thank you for informing that you have been separated from an important meeting to inform the audience of his morning about the situation in sumy oleksandr lysenko, the mayor of sumy, was a guest on our broadcast, thank you russian so-called

warmongers and bloggers express concern that ukrainian forces are able to force the dnieper in the kherson region, this is stated in the daily report of the institute for the study of war. on the eve, they appealed to the leaders of the russian republics of the dagestani tatarstan of the astrakhan region of the krasnodar and primorye regions with a request to send boats to the front line in the kherson region , noting that 10 regiments and brigades of the group the russian troops of the dnipro district are in dire need of these substances, such a reaction of russian military bloggers, analysts write, may indicate that they assume the ability of ukraine to force the dnipro river and believe that the current command did not sufficiently prepare its troops there. i will remind you earlier that british intelligence reported that the ukrainian military allegedly crossed the dnipro near the antonov bridge near kherson, and they are trying to gain a foothold on the occupied left bank of the dnipro. at the same time, the head of the press center of the southern force natalya humenyuk of ukraine said that unnecessary discussions should be avoided as they will allegedly provoke additional

shelling of the settlements on the right bank . here is what she said about the situation on the left bank to the occupied banks of the dnieper in the kherson region to our colleagues from the radio donbass project and the reality that the maximum dispersal of hysteria around the situation was laid by russian propagandists, and it is the russian military who, not for the first time, initiate the information that there are defense forces on the left bank, and in particular because of this the people in oleshki and the people in the field of prystan and the civilian population, those people who are under occupation, suffered very significantly , because the occupiers themselves shelled these population points in order to create an effect that the defense forces are behaving like this now, fearing the advance of the troops of the defense forces, the occupiers additionally hit the bridge despite the fact that it was not blown up

by them when they were fleeing from the right bank, they destroyed it additionally and found it again for themselves the excuse is that the defense forces are allegedly advancing and building a place for themselves, this is the freedom of the morning, write in the comments your questions, your thoughts about what you heard on the air, but this morning, drones of an unknown type attacked moscow and the moscow region, the local authorities reported about the downing of four drones near the russian capital in the area of ​​new moscow and one more in kubinka, this is the suburbs of moscow, and in kaluska , which is adjacent to the moscow region - this is the territory that was annexed to moscow itself 10 years ago. mayor serhiy sabyanin reported that the attack was repulsed by the russian air defense forces, there were no victims and victims, and the telegram channel shot writes that one of

the drones fell on a building in the village crookedly, it caught fire and the fire spread to a nearby residential building in russia. the ministry of defense confirmed the attack by drones. they say that they shot down five drones and blame ukraine for this. because of the drone attack , moscow's vnukovo airport was temporarily closed. the authorities and the general staff did not comment on this event, oleksiy melnyk, co-director of foreign policy and international security programs, coordinator of international projects, joined eteros it will be morning. i welcome you to our broadcast . thank you for joining, mr. oleksiynu, about the latest events. drones in moscow, but the russian ministry of defense has already accused the official kyiv of this

. to be drones, where do they fly from, in your opinion, what are the options for answers to these questions? i think that ukraine's position of non-recognition of responsibility for those strikes that are carried out on the territory of the russian federation is very correct because it adds of additional nervousness, er, especially for the russians. well, everyone is active there today. those who had and those who didn't considered it necessary to comment , including mrs. zakharova, who called it a tract . this is of course another time. well, look, we are not surprised by anything, but once again you are surprised because right after they celebrate the children there, how successfully did they hit sumy and how many people did they
