friends, at 9 o'clock we traditionally remember the minutes of silence of all those ukrainians whose lives were cut short by russian aggression. so let 's honor their memory, let's honor the memory of the ukrainian military and peaceful citizens of ukraine who died in the war that was unleashed by russia with a minute of silence

. hello, this is freedom of the morning, my name is oleg galliviy, we are starting a not forced, but mandatory evacuation from the kupyan district of kharkiv oblast, people living close to the front line will be taken out, we will tell you the details, the odesa authorities will report on the readiness of certain beaches to opening, but the military opposes such a decision or the danger of detonation of mines still remains, what will august be like in kurortny place, the russian ruble has reached the rate of almost 100 rubles per dollar and this is the weakest indicator in 16 months , what is the reason and how is the russian economy reacting to this do not miss if you like

this video, don't forget to like it and subscribe to radio svoboda's youtube channel. we are starting a broadcast today from odesa, where the beach season was disrupted due to the destruction of the kakhova hpp and a now three beaches in the very place are ready to be opened for vacationers , but the military is against it. the head of the odesa regional military administration, oleg kipr, said that sanitary standards allow the opening of some recreation areas near the sea. for this, in particular, there should be a shelter there, and there should also be a shelter nearby, so that in the event of an air raid , people could quickly hide in it in the odesa regional military administration gave an order to check the beaches of the three district military administrations according to the previous plans to allow recreation on the beaches already this weekend, however

, the military and environmentalists are against such an initiative, and above all because of the changing danger of the sappers association of ukraine, they said that no check will give a 100 percent guarantee of safety because they do not drift in the sea and can explode contactlessly due to the presence of a self-destruction mechanism, the spokeswoman for the ok pidnia, nataliya humenyuk, said in a public comment that the opening of beaches in odessa is also not appropriate for in her words, the coast of the black sea is a line of protection and defense, as well as a line of extreme danger, in particular, due to the missile attacks of the russian army in both odessa and the region . kateryna bankova is joining our broadcast these minutes - she is a correspondent of radio svoboda katya i congratulate you please tell me if they opened in odessa beaches maybe you have already managed to visit there. what do vacationers say about it? have they communicated with or not ?

oh, besides, whether they are afraid to go to rest or not, i have already been to the beach on time for work , i still took this position for myself regarding the victory of ukraine . the beaches are already ready to open this weekend. perhaps someone from the district administrations will provide their reports on the readiness of the beaches and this number will still increase, and i will remind you that this is attempt number two, that is , in odesa, they already planned to open the beach season, it was at the beginning of june, but because of that that there was a disaster in kakhovka, those plans had to be moved a little, and now they have come back to this issue again, because the water condition has already normalized, and the heads of the district administrations received the corresponding order from the head of the odesa military administration about what should happen, anyway, at least to

the velvet of the season, the beach season , what should be on the beach so that they have a green light , mine protection nets, which should physically deter mines, as well as fights that will not allow people to swim too far where it can be dangerous, and loudspeaker points observation, and it is also important that these beaches should be more accessible to shelter if stable conditions are met, then they can work like this katya, the question is about vacationers because, well, odessans are people who are used to the sea, which they always have, it is clear that they have only one view of this situation by vacationers from other ukrainian cities who used to come and for whom odessa was such a vacation season in order to rest in the summer and prepare themselves there for the autumn-winter period. that is, there are many of them now will come or still, considering the danger, the number of vacationers in the city is limited. well, of course, there are fewer people, if you compare, for example, with pre-war

times, it is many times less, but still, i cannot say that our tourist season has been completely disrupted. there are people if you go out, for example, in the evening on a-a but also arkadia or there, for example, on deribasivsk, you can see that there are quite a lot of people from other cities of ukraine on the beach , there are also many of them. yesterday i was and talked with people from rivne and zaporizhzhia. wanted to go to the sea because it's already a little bit a-a hmm well, how to relax who wants to have a summer well, in general, someone tells me that they want to spend a little time in a plus-minus safe atmosphere because the people of zaporozhye unfortunately suffer a lot from explosions. and i would did not really divide the position of people into tourists and odessans, because many odessans actually swim in the sea, they argue that most of odessa's beaches are equipped with breakwaters, and these

breakwaters do not allow changes to physically enter to the beach, and that is why they consider such beaches safe for swimming. that is, some do not swim at all, some still say that if there is a surfer, then you can not worry and you can swim . we have the opportunity to listen to their opinions katya thank you for her work take care of yourself well, in general, i think that there are safety nets therefore, it is possible and dangerous, safe, but i tell you that after the 6th uh, when did uh explosive kakhovsky hydroelectric power station, this is the first time more customer and in general, how do you support the fact that they are planning to open beaches? do you think this is the right decision? i don’t know, i think yes, people

still want a little rest, especially children, but yes, there is of course a little excitement, but still i think that it is possible, of course, we are afraid, we came at least to see the sea, we go in with caution, so we pack up and come out like before, you can swim there for hours, there is no more, but i want to, for the first time in the summer , we came for the first time, we are not local people, so what in principle, if you don't ban them, they will find some way out of the situation so that you can cross the border . so, what is the point of banning beaches, putting security guards on them, as there is none , someone somewhere will be able to swim just fine , everyone is responsible for his own life, everyone understands the situation, he said what is happening in ukraine and what danger there is at the moment in the sea and for their children, they are also personally responsible for odesa, it’s a bit of a nightmare

, that’s all they say. well, it’s nearby and we’re going down . well, yes, yes, i swim and swim a long way. such a plan has been thought out if there is an alarm bombardment . what will you do? while you are on the beach, here is the dolphinarium, the dolphinarium, you can run there. of the administration i congratulate you mr. serhiy glory to ukraine glory to ukraine thank you for joining such an important topic for discussion , in fact, because there is danger and people want to rest, but let's talk about the security situation

sometimes, how was the night over there, thank god 4-5 zero at the moment we have no air warning signals, no shelling i hope the day will pass in the same way, you know the most important thing is to catch soldiers in the morning, you talk about the fact that there was no shelling ah and more optimistic people start work of course and more inspiration for productive work so we had a good night, thank god , mr. serhiy, regarding the mine danger that currently exists on the coasts and in particular from the sea, the regional military administration probably also raises these issues with the military at its meetings who constantly emphasize that what is known to you, in particular, from public information, let's say from public information that is freely available and those possible insiders who raise at meetings how high this mine danger will be now is high, what does the odesa regional government say well, i can't say on behalf of the odesa regional government, i will speak from my position and state my personal point of view

, and as for the mine of explosive danger, this issue remains relevant, as far as i am concerned, it will remain relevant not only er, er, even with the achievement of our victory, the advent of peace and there will be a certain amount of time that will be necessary in our country in order to clear the waters of the black sea, because since last year, since the beginning of the great invasion, the enemy has thrown many mines here and tried to block them with mine devices, in particular , with ship anchor mines, approaching the ports of odessa, the ports of greater odessa it was clear because the enemy was preparing for the landing of the amphibious assault, including therefore, this question will be relevant for a reason and the netherlands and belgium are handing over two minelayers to ukraine, i think that they will be involved and have already been involved, apparently, in that they are carrying out the corresponding combat work, we clearly understand that now there is an initiative regarding the movement of ships that remained

at the ports of greater odessa on february 24, now they have such an opportunity, secured corridors that provide they just have the naval forces of the armed forces of ukraine and go to the destination party, well, let’s say the test route will be practiced now, i hope that everything will be fine. well, that’s why the minor is trained in security, it is relevant. and as for topics of the beach, there are also appropriate measures here. they must be carried out. this is one of the most important conditions for the fact that three locations, as far as i know, only three locations will be opened on the coast on the beaches because it is not a question at once. i want to emphasize about the entire black sea coast because it is well in fact, in a real war, it is simply impossible, so this threat is relevant , and we are talking about the fact that the military gave figures that they had about 30 mines during the summer period - these were different mines, including now , you are showing the shooters who were there before

the coast reminds me of the blowing up of the kakhovka hydroelectric power plant, about the fact that river mines reached the coast of odesa, something exploded, something people even managed to do such a funny incident, but it is funny that you can talk about it right now because everyone remained alive, a person brought home such a thing mine is because it looks very similar to such a gas heating device, so she brought it, but then something happened in the person’s head , of course, something was wrong. something else , the rescuers arrived, the minus was neutralized. of course, something was lurking somewhere and at the depth, so there must be appropriate work, too, and everything is at the disposal of the head of the regional military administration . as far as i know, today, after him , the monitoring of reports will be carried out on these locations, which should join the conditional before

the beach season. accordingly, there will also be an appropriate order or order stating that if the conditions are met, it must be opened. well , the bomb shelter is of course very important, because the missile threat is a missile threat. it is a drone threat. it remains, well, at least until the end of the war, it will remain p serhiy, and how much do the positions of the authorities, military vacationers, and business differ, that is, those who can be involved in this process in the context of the opening of beaches in odessa, even the three we are talking about now. well, it seems to me it is still better to talk about where there are points of contact so that as much as possible everyone is satisfied with those real wars that exist today. i am a supporter of what they have the right, and our military is obliged, when it comes to rotation, to undergo rehabilitation accordingly, to have the right to rest and conditions for rest, but they have the right to rest and conditions for rest, but

i want to say once again that they must be safe , therefore, of course, the opinions of everyone must be taken into account , and no one canceled the filling of the budget either. there are hotsalki there, you know, before the curfew begins. and by the way, in odesa, we are not talking about this. it is clearly written here that all such activities must be completed by 10 o'clock, and therefore i hope that there will be a bridgehead. a military bridgehead where everyone will gather in the fact that it is possible if certain conditions are met, please, sooner, how threatening can the situation be in the context of the fact that even if only three places allow the conditional three beaches for people to swim there, it is clear that there will be those who will try somewhere you are unauthorized places with names, that’s how to be in such a case . is it somehow possible to think of a mechanism to spit on the coast as far as possible, in your story a boy from

rivne said, if i’m not mistaken, about what it is it is the personal responsibility of everyone to put a policeman there, and even more so a soldier there, for example, the terror defense or other units of the armed forces of ukraine . i don’t know that there are any uh-uh soldiers, well , it’s simply impossible and it’s not part of their function to disperse people after all. i hope for it is the responsibility of the people that they understand that there are threats, and if safe places are determined, please still go there, because the danger of missile threats is exploding tribally on these wild beaches, we can talk, for example, about last week there was a tragic incident with one child, unfortunately, so we have to look for safe places if it’s too much for me personally. this is my position. for me personally, the topic of beaches does not

exist. spokesman of the ukrainian volunteer army south, chairman of the public council of the odesa regional military administration about the security situation in the region , and also about the stage of the opening of beaches in odesa today. and a very important topic that are discussing the last few days and the last few days in the kupyansk district of the kharkiv region, the mandatory evacuation of the population has begun, the head of the city military administration, andriy besedin, has informed about this , it is about 37 settlements close to the front line, in particular, some parts of the community of kupyansk itself, to the people of of these territories are offered to evacuate to kharkov and then, if desired, to the western regions of ukraine , according to the main city military administration, mandatory evacuation provides that in case of refusal to leave residents must sign an official statement of personal responsibility for staying in the territory where active hostilities are ongoing, i note that mandatory evacuation was announced in the kupyan district due to the security

situation, shelling has increased there in recent days , and the commander of the ground forces oleksandr syrskyi in an interview edition of ukranian pravda stated the other day that the goal of the russian troops is to break through the defenses and go directly to kupyansk and kharkiv regional military administration was considering the possibility of mandatory evacuation of people from 53 inhabited points of the region, at that time there were 11,000 residents, among them 600 children were subject to forced evacuation andrii basin, the head of the kupyan city military administration is our contact mr. andrii, i greet you good morning glory to ukraine glory to the heroes thank you for joining, we know that you are now the last of the most sought-after speakers on the ukrainian airwaves in order to explain what is happening. can we talk as of this morning today about a certain number of evacuated people from those communities that were actually supposed to

this evacuation, look at the numbers. now it is being clarified, we are constantly monitoring it, we are intensifying these actions, now there is more informational and explanatory work, all the services involved in this process prove , the order proves the algorithm of actions, unfortunately, for the most part, we and expected, people refuse to evacuate. but we have constantly running buses, routes that connect the city with the kuper regional center, a railway train constantly runs, which also connects, therefore, in principle, there are cardinal questions about going abroad there is no community there. yes, there isn’t and wasn’t, but people contact us. there are hotline phones and everyone who contacts us responds immediately

. we form lists and volunteers pick up and take me to andria, but among those who most often refuse to evacuate, what arguments do these people give, who are these elderly people who do not they just want to leave the homes they live in, i don't know, young families, who are the people who don't want to leave despite mandatory and not forced evacuation, different categories of people, mostly pensioners , elderly people, but unfortunately there are also families with children, and as you mentioned, there are currently more than 600 children in the kudavsky community . it is very important for us that they are in safer places, because the escalation of shelling, which is now happening, including on the territory of the community, is increasing, and we must protect a special children, especially those with reduced mobility, all of whom cannot react there

very quickly to certain circumstances and move them to a safer region, mr. andriy, if we are talking about the evacuation process itself , how does it happen, as you said, there is an information campaign after that the lists are clear, who can be evacuated, who agrees, who can’t, who doesn’t agree, and volunteers arrive on buses and pick up people who are in the same city. they have to go to a certain point, or is everyone picked up separately, that is, how does this whole wave happen? there is an international organization and volunteer funds, the telephone number of the hotline of the kutyriv city military administration , people apply, leave an application , this application is created, in which the address of the person is indicated

they will tell you when they will come for them, we decided as a matter of priority that under no circumstances will we gather people in one place there for gathering so that the enemy could not cause another terrorist act, that is why people are taken from the house at different addresses, they clearly know the approximate time and the transport that will come for them and the contact person who is going and then they will move to an intermediate and intermediate place, yes, this is the city of kharkiv, the regional center, where social workers, psychologists , volunteers work, and then the question of whether are they staying in this place, kharkiv, or are they moving to safer regions in western ukraine? now , i would like to dwell briefly on this information campaign. two questions will be those people who agree to the evacuation. what are the recommendations regarding what you can take with you? the amount of baggage, yes, that is, they cannot take everything they would like, and the question in this context, the second question immediately is those who refuse and write a statement, what additional

recommendations can be given to them in the field of how to behave, because the situation in the region has become more difficult, recommendations for people what you can take with you, well, these are not necessary things there, documents, funds, if there are pets, they are pets, if they want it, of course they cannot take it there are household appliances, there is a large one, there are other e-e accessories, if we are talking about people who remain and refuse to evacuate, we are constantly in touch with everyone, and the centers for issuing humanitarian aid , the social protection administration are responsible in populated areas, which is needed for communication with the elders , in houses, on the streets, and part of it, we inform constantly, we are constantly trying to convey to people that it is really dangerous, the explanatory work is going on about the air alarm

about shelling, how to act in this or that situation, andriy, i have a few questions these are the evacuation routes that are not publicized for obvious reasons, how safe are they? you said that all measures were taken, all measures were taken in order not to gather people in one place, so as not to push them into danger, but the evacuation routes themselves to what extent do they correspond to the security measures organized by the government, well, we are trying to do this, of course, under the conditions that exist, we understand the insidiousness of the enemy, the enemy from the country of the terrorist, and we see for the second year in a row that russia is a terrorist country knows how to fight only with the civilian population, the civilian infrastructure is critical, so we are trying to secure it, but unfortunately, the shelling is constant. therefore, you already know for

a fact that when a car goes there, there is a transport for people, we decide and plan if there are certain lactational changes in the cause, then we we inform you, we inform you more. please tell me, this is what was said. there was at least the information that we voiced from official sources about the fact that first people can go to kharkiv , after that, if necessary and if they want , they can go to the western regions of ukraine, or is it possible that there is an area that agreed to accept the largest number where and there prepared some appropriate infrastructure for this, where to live , what to eat and so on, a lot of powerful work is being done by the kharkiv regional military administration, there are many agreements regions, including western ukraine. regarding the relocation of residents of the utorsk community, in particular, if we are talking about the arrangements of the kupyan city military administration

, then this is the city of zhytomyr nazara, these are children with their parents , they are currently ready to accept more than 250 people and if the need for this will increase then they are ready to increase these places , place these people in dormitories in other places , uh, what are quite good conditions. the main thing is safer conditions for life, thank you , thank you, thank you for taking the time to turn on andrii besedin, the head of the kupyan city military administration , talked about the evacuation from those settlements that are close to the front line and from which mandatory rather than forced evacuation has actually been declared. well , the kharkiv regional military administration itself reported on the shelling of the russian army last day. in the settlements of bogodukhiv, kharkiv, chuguiv , izyum, and kupyan districts as a result of

a guided aerial bomb attack on the village of fila , kupyan district, and a house was destroyed a forest fire also broke out in the area, a woman died, another man was hospitalized with moderate injuries, this is freedom, the morning is a project about something important , and we talk about such things on our air , the russian ruble has reached the exchange rate of almost 100 rubles per dollar, this is the weakest indicator in 16 months. what is the reason, as per the russian economy will react, don't miss it, ukraine still doesn't have enough weapons to change the balance of the war in its favor . polish president duda said in washington about this interview , let's discuss the situation at the front in more detail if you still haven't subscribed to radio svoboda's youtube channel and you're not among our youtube friends, i suggest you do it, it's important

so that we're always in touch with you, and we also thank the viewers of express for being together with with the amount of weapons currently at the disposal of the ukrainian forces, kyiv cannot change the balance of the war in its favor , said polish president andrzej duda in an interview with the washington post newspaper. in his opinion , thanks to the supplies of partners, ukraine now has more modern military potential than russia, but this is not enough, dudak says, quoting from the fact that they are currently unable to carry out a very decisive counteroffensive against the russian military. it depends on the weapons . in short, they need more help. briefing stated that the us ministry of defense notes the advancement of the armed forces of ukraine during the counteroffensive, but predicts that it will be a difficult and long struggle, but the fighters of the wagner private military company about which we

they also repeatedly told on our broadcasts that they continue to maintain their presence in belarus. the analysts of the american institute for the study of war say this in their report. in this report, in particular, they talk about satellite images taken on august 9 , which show a significant number of vehicles in the camp of fighters near osipovy, mogilev region, and possibly in the period of first look in august, this number became larger , meanwhile ukrainian sources say that analysts continue to report on the expansion of the activities of wagner-brestovsky in the brest region a sources connected with the pvk itself report that the fighters are training the belarusian military. previously, it was reported in social networks that wagner's mercenaries could, as it were, return to russia because lukashenko refused to finance them . belarusian soldiers have been stationed at an abandoned military base near the city of osypyvych . ihor romanenko, a military expert general, joins our conversation at the moment.

reserve lieutenant igor i congratulate you i congratulate you thank you, dear, for joining us, for finding time, there is something to talk about, let's probably start with andriy duda's statements from the washington post, he says about ukraine's lack of weapons to change the situation on the battlefield . this statement is from your point of view point of view should be interpreted as possible, this is still such a message to the partners of ukraine. we should help even more, because the politician there is influential in europe, and we know how much poland defends and advocates the interests of ukraine in the context of a large-scale russian-ukrainian wars bolshe i ukrainy baltics, first of all, they feel the hot breath of the war that is happening in ukraine , well, they help me a lot, i am grateful for this, uh , the supply of weapons from allied countries gives a lot of useful things to ensure our actions with uh, that that goes through these countries
