volunteer army, we are joined by mr. sergey good morning, we congratulate you on the national holiday, on independence day, i congratulate you, my friends, and i also wish a holiday to all of our viewers, i wish 4-5 zero to my comrades-in-arms, a return with a shield to all , i hope it will be so, of course , victory and peace, because this is the essence of our struggle, victory, and then we. i thought about the fact that ukrainians for decades, maybe longer, for some time, just did not have an independence day, did not have an independence day, and then for another decade, they probably did not appreciate the independence day that they received on august 24, 1991 year, but now everything has changed, now there are no people who would not understand how important independence is for ukraine and how important this holiday is, how will it be in odesa today, with what kind of mood will it be greeted with, will there be any events, well, without the fact that, for sure, massively, definitely not but nevertheless, what will happen? well, of course there will not be mass events. but

nevertheless, let's say that certain actions will take place in certain locations. rather, these are the requirements of last year as well, and i hope that after the victory we will have a big odesa holiday, we all dream about it, and if you don’t ask who, i don’t know, then it will be possible to walk through those streets of odesa to pass at least one of them and finish in a good humor is not the most important thing well, let's say that you understand as well as sensitively what i'm joking about here. nevertheless, we traditionally raised flags the day before, because the day of the state flag vorontsovsky lighthouse. despite the fact that a year ago, the enemy was literally a tray in us but none the less last year the flag was raised this year well, in fact, these institutions take place already traditionally and

i want to say once again that there will be meetings, there will be communication but of course the most important thing today is the continuation of our entire struggle, each of us is working in our area the events will be the most important mood, we need victory , we understand that, we really hope for it , and i urge everyone not just to believe in the armed forces, but to help the armed forces , to help our units, well, actually who wants to join the example of the volunteer movement, please, we are waiting, including the ukrainian volunteer army, we have combat units, you can join to beat the enemy, and there are such people, they are coming to us, and thank god, that is why there is no doubt in the victory, mr. sergey actually about the mood of odessans, because we know that our enemy likes to give us all sorts of dates and can send us greetings, well, after all, at night there were already greetings in dnipropetrovsk oblast, for example

, in particular, they have their own holiday there, and in connection with this, some kind of confusion, so to speak say, but anyway, is there any expectation that there might be shelling from the russians so insidious on this day to spoil our holiday, well, actually, they do it every day , because, unfortunately, we have fragments from the front when our closest brothers die... here it is impossible to separate any warrior. and what is the life of our victory from his friends and close people , because they are all relatives , we are relatives. wheat they are they can't do anything else. how do you know the land that fills you? these podrazorstki reminded me today that we are drawing these parallels. these are the descendants of the same sharikovs who

came to ukraine and burned everything here . they hit ishmael there again. they tried again to harvest 13,000 tons of grain. it's a huge well, i don't know, and at the same time they say that i resemble the world, but we endure and will endure , you know, for sure during this time of a full-scale invasion, uh, we passed, after all, uh, i'm just society and growing up, because look, today we are much more less than a year that's why we talk about the so-called sacred dates for the enemy, because what can we say and ours , how much they confuse the beast. even at night, they still shake them. independence day , the restoration of independence, we have to kill somewhere, we have to do something somewhere, we have to bomb it. we calmly accept it once again i want to say this compared to last year, because of course we understand that the enemy can prepare, of course the situation is monitored, it will not be 200-300 missiles, thank god because they do not have

such physical capabilities today, they have those missiles they really have the production of the same calibers, for example, i can’t say for other missiles but nevertheless, what can be scared in our country, well, this is sorry to scare a ukrainian with something, you understand what it is about. therefore, the most important thing that we are talking about today is to comply with the rules of behavior in the air , but this pulled the rhythm the rule of two walls and continue to work. this is what saves lives. i am talking about shelter . well, and accordingly, the mood . well, let's cry all the time. well, i don't see a panicky mood, you know, i don't really like this topic about the beaches that they open there, they don't open, well , everyone knows my point of view, but nevertheless, if people talk about what they are

planning, who there is an opportunity to go to the black sea to this safe location, god willing. well, everything is normal, in terms of what you see and feel the mood of the odessans, well , i will show you the fate of bringing this big landing ship there once again. and god willing , the main thing is to go to the shelter here me more they are worried, but with the mood it is normal, let's hope that even on a holiday, odessa will remember the safety rules, but let's also hope that the russians will have what to do today to maintain order in their country and in the near future, they will have a lot of work, we are all for it we also work, god willing, let them work, let them work , and

let us work on our country. and then we will deal with ours and make it even better. let's talk about what today will be like for kharkiv, and because kharkiv has such a holiday, i would say the all-ukrainian flag day, yesterday was, besides all that , kharkiv day, now it is independence day actually, as in a city that is located very close to the border with russia, we will give today's date how did yesterday go, let's talk about it with bohdan tkachuk. but it will be after a short break. there are 20% discounts on exik in pharmacies. traveller, bam and savings. turn it on. when everything is as you want, click and you are in the world . cartoon click and around the world of cinema and so on what is needed megogo turn on hundreds of channels in thousands

of our soldiers, at the cost of destruction, at the cost of what pays all ukraine is a museum and let it remain a museum forever. watch this week's program judicial control with tetyana shustrova, who got into the public integrity council, a strong composition of scientists , practitioners, journalists, lawyers, the tasks facing the newly formed body, the council must take part in the qualification of more than 2,000 judges , watch on thursday 24 august at 5:45 p.m. program in court control with tatyana shustrova on the espresso tv channel hello, this is freedom, the morning , the informational project of radio svoboda, top guests
