[000:00:00;00] message well, let's start with the news that the whole country has been waiting for for almost a year, the legendary teams returned home to ukraine together , denis prokopenko gredis , svyatoslav palamar, kalyna, oleg khomenko, apis , serhiy volynskyi, volyn and denys shlega from turkey, where they were interned for the exchange of prisoners from russia, they

were returned by the president, they flew by one plane well, this symbolic event, it is today on the 500th day since the beginning of the great war, complements another one. the president visited the snake island . of the ukrainian border guard, who on the first day of the full-scale invasion sent a russian warship that offered him to surrender in a known direction, although this and a small piece of land in the middle of our black sea is a great proof that ukraine will regain every part of its territory, volodymyr zelenskyi said. he laid flowers in memory the memorial sign in honor of those who died for the island, i want to thank from here, from this place, the victories of each of our soldiers for these 500 days, i thank everyone who

fought for the sake of ukraine and may freedom heal for all our heroes of different times wanted ukraine. the one that has to be won right now will be a tribute to all those who gave their lives for the sake of ukraine. we will definitely win 500 days ago it was 500 days ago a terrible morning when we all woke up from explosions when we looked at russian planes in the ukrainian sky and i could not believe the day when the premonition of a great war was replaced by war itself and the realization that we have to fight for our land and our freedom. in 500 days, everything has changed and nothing remains unchanged, our intention is to return ours, including with crimea to punish the invaders and rebuild our home well, we ourselves have changed and together with us the whole world has changed and our soldiers at the front are each of them a hero today and we ukrainians have united around the dream of liberating our native land so 500 days of resistance, resistance

, heroism and self-sacrifice are unlikely do any of us need to be reminded of how full-scale hell began none of us will ever be able to forget this from now on there will be almost no words, but

i don't think they are needed either who here was waiting for russian peace with the word россии on

the square у егото хотели да мы вас they warned you to enter the hall with your wife and an elder, your legs are broken, give me water volodymyr zelenskyi today awarded the title of hero of ukraine to 49 military personnel posthumously and emphasized each surname - this

is a story of courage and will, the president thanked every ukrainian family that raised such soldiers for ukraine well, the armed forces of ukraine in spite of everything are relentlessly moving forward, cleaning our land from muscovite filth meter by meter in june it freed 130 m² of southern territories in the zaporizhzhia region in donetsk region and returned 9 inhabited areas to the control of kyiv of points it is extremely difficult in most areas of the front fierce battles continue our military inflicts huge losses on the enemy both in equipment and in manpower during the 500 days of the war the bolt destroyed almost 233.5 thousand occupiers well, this is not the only thing we learned well during these 500 days the occupiers are nipping at the heels, defense minister oleksiy reznikov said on the air on his smartphone, and expressed the hope that in the near future they

will flee from the east and south of ukraine, they are getting used to the understanding that they are no longer the second army of the world, because the purpose of the special the military operation failed. kyiv didn't fall in three days. ukraine didn't fall in three weeks. on the contrary, they were taught to attack with their heels . they are also very kind. that's why they've already learned and you and i saw the so-called acts of goodwill on snake island in the prison in kyiv chernihiv, sumy, kharkiv and kherson regions have the right bank and i hope that they have learned these lessons very well and i hope that in the near future we will see another gesture of goodwill in the east and in the south of ukraine full version of the interview with the minister of defense by oleksiy reznikov, watch the nationwide marathon broadcast at 20 years 30 in these 500 days, ukraine has gone from hand-held anti-aircraft missile and anti

-tank systems stinger and ufo to abrams, hippo patriot, today weapons for ukraine are gathering the whole world, the rammstein coalition has more than fifty countries since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, they have already handed us more than 1,300 artem and more than a million 700,000 155 mm shells to them, western partners have sent more than 5,000 armored combat troops to the front machines, including bradley, which are highly valued by our defenders. there were also planes, the truth is that they are soviet mig-29 and su-25. they were handed over by poland , slovakia and north macedonia in terms of the number of tanks. according to the updated data of the kyiv institute of world economy, the allies handed ukraine 471 and well almost the same amount of the armed forces for trophies

. while the tank fleet of the occupiers has shrunk by almost half, the gap in the number of weapons and in terms of artillery and rsv has been reduced. despite the multi-kilometer mini-fields with which the occupiers are trying to hold them back, our soldiers are doing the impossible now, but we are critically short of aviation and long-range missiles, and so, in the same interview with cnn, the president once again emphasized that the counteroffensive would be different if we had f -16 they would not even give us an advantage

, equality in the air well, nothing, we will soon have cluster ammunition with them, it will be faster to return ours. a big war for a few seconds and a greeting from the ukrainian military flies to the position of the rest, followed by a second one, this is one of the hot spots in the direction of bakhmut, at this position the infantry is covered by a company of fire support , we can support it like this with the advance of our military in conjunction with aerial reconnaissance, they receive coordinates and immediately begin to practice against the enemy, there are already many such assault actions, just such a contact war , more clashes, more already such close contacts, now contacts can already be counted by meters in the bakhmut area, our military is gradually moving forward, liberating territories and destroying enemy equipment, so the fighters of the third separate assault brigade turned

the russian t-80 tank into scrap metal, our guys continue to hold the initiative to pressurize the enemy, carry out assault actions and advance on the flanks, for about a month they have been conducting a counteroffensive in three directions at once : melitopol, bakhmut and berdyan it is already known about the liberation of nine settlements in the donetsk and zaporizhzhia regions , some of them were occupied since the 14th year only in june, our armed villages managed to destroy the enemy's anti-aircraft artillery of special engineering equipment three times more than usual. this is the conclusion reached at the institute for the study of war, the so-called russian military complains that in

the south of ukraine, their army is seriously limited after the meeting with our soldiers in yakutsk the mobs are already starting to record appeals to putin to return them home. my people are ready. 14 people were permanently there for more than 16 hours. the fire resulted in us suffering losses in connection with the third. now the kremlin continues to throw its soldiers to their deaths in order to preserve the captured territories with all the villages and even counterattack on the front line . counter-attack, they have prepared a budget in the south of the zaporizhzhia region, they have created three lines of defense, they have densely mined them, it is important to destroy the enemy 's anti-personnel equipment, but for this enemy there is

a distance to its formations, we are simply not able to get at this, he emphasized once again president volodymyr zelenskyi during his visit to the czech republic without health is difficult to carry out the legacy. if you are honest , it is very difficult to conduct a defense operation, this indicates that you are a baron of your land and you cannot to reach the appropriate distance in order to destroy your enemy, our heroic soldiers are now desperately fighting for every meter of our land, despite the lack of rest and the enemy's treachery, they are moving forward, and as the head of intelligence kyrylo budanov assures , the greatest success of our army is still ahead lyudmila gavrylyuk, we are ukraine marathon the only news is that the russians continue to mine the zaporizhzhia nuclear plant and this is happening right now , the spokesman of the main intelligence directorate of ukraine, andriy

yusov, told about it on the air on a smartphone. demining of mines, explosive barriers made of remote-controlled and uncontrolled anti-personnel mines of the directional type are laid in machine rooms and technical rooms of nuclear power plants, mostly these are soviet-style mines , where does the gur have a mine-mining scheme? what possible problems with vision who say that they do not see any problems in the actions of the occupiers on the one hand, on the other hand, of course, this is a signal from the occupiers themselves that the ukrainians are definitely everyone can see this is certainly not everything, there is also separate mine-mining, separate machinery, trucks with explosives, with incredible efforts, ukraine , the security and defense sector, our diplomacy, the military-political leadership takes public

and non-public measures in order to influence, including reducing the level of danger this week, with the support of foreign colleagues on the international arena , in particular, and on the way to nato with bulgaria, we signed a memorandum on cooperation in the field of energy. the czech republic will help us in the training of 16 pilots and provide attack helicopters well, even slovakia. we will receive 16 howitzers from uzan and start joint production of new type howitzers with the last of the vyazidis on the eve of the end of the term of the grain agreement , in which turkey acted as a mediator, there was a meeting with erdoğan and now turkey will produce drones together with ukraine well, and important before the vilnius summit nato , a message from erdogan, ukraine deserves membership in the alliance, a summary of the presidential meetings will be made by olena

chernyakova in 48 hours, four countries, two dozen important meetings, visits to the president of ukraine is completed, with which he returned to kyiv late on friday evening volodymyr zelenskyi arrives in istanbul, the final point of this tour after meeting with leaders from slovakia and the czech republic, negotiations with the leader of turkey also in the evening, the last time the presidents saw each other was on august 22, yet another blackmail by the russians, they again refuse to extend the grain agreement the deadline for the agreements expires on july 17 , both ukraine and turkey insist on the continued expansion of the conditions we cannot gather every time to think and how

will people in the world live the next two months it is very necessary to do everything so that this corridor does not depend on the wishes of one single state. this is an extension of the agreement every two months, but at least every three. we are waiting for such a decision and will make an effort to extend the agreement for two years . captives, another priority topic of the meeting, as noted by both sides , turkey has already contributed to the return of ukrainians home, erdogan promises to raise this topic personally during the conversation with putin, which is scheduled for this month, he gently but hints at negotiations with russia and declares turkey's readiness to facilitate this. but this does not affect kyiv's position in any way. diplomacy only took place after the withdrawal of russian troops abroad in 1991. at the same time, after these statements , ankara's position regarding ukraine's membership in nato is being heard for the first time, albeit symbolic. ukraine

deserves membership in nato, euro-atlantic integration is one of the main issues of every meeting of the president in bulgaria, he signs the declaration of accession, this means sofia and kyiv on the way to ukraine donato declaration became the 22nd document certifying the political support of ukraine's membership in the alliance for accession, also slovakia and the czech republic in the interests of the czech republic so that when the war ends, ukraine begins negotiations on joining nato, it is in the interests of our regional security, stability and economic progress with a visit to the eastern flank volodymyr zelenskyi of the alliance has actually won support before an important meeting, so we will see him in vilnius only next week , but we already have the votes, says political expert igoretyrovich from nato one country is one vote

and that is why any country is very important, it is very correct that he was elected, let's say the eastern flank of nato, that the president was able to communicate with the leaders of these countries, what kyiv expects from this very question , the journalists ask the president in every country the answer is unchanged unity and progress in relations, we expect the unity of the alliance do not resolve the issue regarding sweden and the issue regarding ukraine's signal regarding the invitation has not been resolved . i believe that there is little unity in this except for the support that the czech republic promises support on the ground and in the sky.

helicopters in the coming months, another 100,000 large-caliber ammunition , and the czech republic will help train specialists for f-16 aircraft and provide ukraine with a simulator for such training. with ukraine and a puppy we managed to sign a contract for the supply of 16 knots to ukraine and this will happen in the very near future, we will jointly develop a new type howitzers, the joint production of ammunition will begin, and our enterprises will demine the territory of ukraine. we will probably have more weapons from bulgaria, which the president visited first. i heard about the conflict in response from volodymyr zelenskyi, i think that the people of bulgaria clearly understand that these are not conflicts, war, just when there is a conflict up to a million people do not leave the country in order to save the lives of their children to journalists our president of pergatics and to speed up the supply of weapons on which

the victory of ukraine depends on what it will be all the more clear the contours of our victory the new government of bulgaria another package of military aid disastrous consent to the president they were supplied but not directly this was done by ammunition, they will simply begin to arrive in ukraine faster, without any intermediaries there, that the president's speeches separately for the shelter of ukrainians, he himself met with the communities and offered already now in each country to participate in reconstruction, and next week a delegation of czech businessmen should arrive in kyiv olena chernyakova we are ukraine marathon the only news in istanbul ecumenical patriarch bartholomew held a prayer for the ukrainians killed in the war in the cathedral of st. george, and the president of ukraine took part in it during the meeting ecumenical patriarch and volodymyr zelenskyi discussed the situation at the front and the implementation

of the peace formula. also, the return of children taken from ukraine by the occupiers, in his turn, bartholomew noted the importance of achieving peace in he wished ukraine that all the children and prisoners returned home, there are two days left until the nato summit in vilyus, the city was actually turned into an impregnable fortress, 16 nato members sent a thousand troops there , germany provided 12 patriot complexes, they will guard the sky above the free space, spain sent combat equipment from france and britain with drones well, military aircraft from france

, finland and denmark will be based in lithuania during the meeting. invitation well, we just need an invitation to the bloc alliance, firstly, at the nato summit, the allies must agree on a multi -year support program that guarantees full interoperability between the ukrainian armed forces and nato, secondly, they must start the ukraine nato council, and thirdly, i expect the leaders to confirm that ukraine will become a member nato , there is no ukrainian question in the alliance , for example, poland, like many former warsaw pact countries, consistently supports ukraine's accession to nato. judging by macron's statements, france is not against it. but in more to the long-term perspective of berlin, the most sceptically-minded of the three will most likely be approximately the following wording: nato countries will be glad to welcome ukraine as a member of the alliance after the end of the war, or

it will be said that the procedures for ukraine's accession to nato will be carried out after the end of the current great war, the results of the hellenes are like this the statement was made by the head of the main intelligence department, kirill budanov, in an interview with times. he said that he had seen drafts of the speeches and that the forecast for ukraine was already disappointing. of the programmed decision, what else can i disagree with mr. budanov? drafts are drafts, and we have repeatedly seen when the same biden's answer did not turn into an answer after a certain time. yes, we saw it on tanks and we saw it on the f-16 and even earlier for example, according to petriv's air defense systems, ukraine is not ready for nato membership in the us, instead , they are ready to provide security guarantees based on the israeli model - us president joe biden said that the us does not want to agree to the fact that

the freedmen were recorded, and the procedure was accelerated ukraine's accession to nato well, finland did it and sweden is doing it now, they are not direct, but they insist that no, it must happen with the fulfillment of certain conditions. i think that they want to maintain leverage at the summit, they can soundly sign bilateral agreements on security guarantees, a kind of security memorandum with ukraine is the most important moment. at this summit, we will definitely receive a variety of bilateral and possibly multilateral agreements , let's call them agreements on guarantees, which will relate to military-technical , financial, social, humanitarian and other

the support that ukraine will receive is not one-off, you know, like rammstein, but in principle it is already planned for at least a few years in advance in the context of both countering russian military aggression and in the context of our preparation for integration into the alliance in general, each country will decide for itself what kind of assistance to the country because we are getting some additional weapons. well, there are cluster munitions , maybe atakams, etc. well, in principle, i have already formally at least solved the question here , just when they will appear and in what quantity, the result that will probably be obtained ukraine from the summit is a renewal of political relations between ukraine and the alliance, so the nato countries are fighting their own struggle for how to formulate the final declaration of the summit marina asmolov oleksandr reshetnikov we ukraine marathon the only news kherson region suffers daily from the shelling of the rashists only in the last day the occupiers attacked

the region 91 times with various types of weapons were under attack, the settlements of the boryslav kakhovsky and kherson districts , the regional center and the suburbs of the cossack and seresh rashistas were attacked by aviation factories, residential buildings were destroyed. the coastal areas of the korabel microdistrict in kherson and antonivka were under fire from the russians. actually , the people of kherson have been overcoming the consequences of the russians undermining the dam of the kakhovskaya hpp for the second month. it is happening slowly why is it like that tatyana savulya sorted out the spouses of the skid rowers , the fourth week overcomes the consequences of flooding evgeny is still pumping water from the yard here

is trying to apply for compensation for the fourth week. will be rebuilt and compensated, they live between cleaning the house and queues in the district council, at first there were already queues on the street, then when they came here, new queues formed, so well, in the back church, we are already waiting for help and on call, 100% at the document reception point say they are working slowly because there are not enough specialists, the full-time staff of the department is 51 staff units, and in fact 21 people are working as we are now, the police also do not have enough employees to record the degree of damage in a month, the law enforcement officers examined only a third of seven thousand applications victims , we do not have the legal right to enter here without the police, unfortunately, we have
