[000:00:00;00] there is no transfiguration cathedral, all such events occurred during the full-scale invasion of russia into ukraine. well, the great war continues today, as i said, a year and a half since its beginning. and today, the first precedents are also taking place, for example , today, at least according to the notification of ukrainian military intelligence, the first landing of military personnel took place of ukraine in the occupied crimea during this landing, ukrainian scouts damaged four high-speed

boats and destroyers of at least 30 russian troops this was reported to the babel publication by their intelligence sources . later, andriy yusov, the spokesman for the gur ministry of defense, confirmed this in a public comment. previously, the sources of the radio freedom crimea realia project in ukrainian intelligence reported that around 5 o'clock in the morning near the settlement mayak on cape tarkhankut in the occupied crimea, an incident took place battle with the participation of watercraft and aviation than andriy yusuf said that within the scope of the special operation, the landing of personnel took place on the territory of the peninsula, the russian side has not yet made its comments and the crimean public reports that the sounds of explosions were heard by local residents. the base of the third radio engineering regiment as part of the radio engineering troops of the russian aerospace forces is located in the lighthouse. the general directorate of intelligence of the ministry of defense of ukraine also published an operational video of this special operation. i suggest

you watch its excerpt . glory, according to the gur report, there were no losses on the ukrainian side, this was later confirmed by president zelenskyi, and the goal of the special operation itself was achieved, and now let's talk about this re-special operation, as well as what these one and a half years of the great war were like and what should be prepared for next with us live secretary of the national security council oleksiy danilov good evening, good mr. oleksiy let's start with the event in the crimea there , according to the gur, the special operation is likely to continue, at least not there were reports that it was completed. and this, as i understand it, was the first foreign special operation of ukraine on the territory of crimea with the landing of personnel . what can this indicate? this is the first operation that became public before that, our armed forces, our security forces were engaged in other work, but we cannot report on all operations

to our society, but the only thing i can say is that they will not end until the entire territory of our country, including the autonomous republic of crimea, is freed from terrorists , what way will this happen if necessary, it will happen by military means if the russians do not understand that they need to get out of our territory . the military liberation of crimea will begin, we will all see it will be a more powerful operation than what is happening now, but i can say that yesterday there was a very powerful operation on the territory of crimea using our most modern weapons against the russian federation, so they have no means to interfere it is for us to fulfill the tasks set by the president of our country to liberate our country. well, let's also mention the

drone attacks in moscow. recently , there have been quite a few of them and they have happened quite a lot regularly, just recently, in your opinion, in your assessment , what effect does this have on the war, these attacks? well, please tell me, if our children , our women, the elderly should be in shelters, why should russians feel safe in their homes, their apartments in the city of moscow, where do they come from? all these decisions are made, where did these crazy people make the decision to attack our country? well, it's you. well, it's about justice. by the way, war is always about justice. and god has put everything in its place, and not only our children have suffer, our people must suffer, let them suffer as well, they will see what war is like, that they understand that supposedly war does not occur when it does not come to their attention, it came on february 24 , when the madman fure decided to attack our country as actively as possible. and you expect that this is

well, at least such regular shelling and the fact that, in particular , they are stopping the work of their airports. these are the actions that they are taking. well, somehow they will force ordinary russians , ordinary residents of moscow, to somehow call on the leadership not to stop the war, well , we really wanted that to happen, but i can to say that there should be more powerful pressure on the russians in order for them to understand - to understand that they bear joint responsibility for all the actions that are currently taking place on the territory of our country, war will come to russia, and they themselves called this war there today, president zelenskyi declared that ukraine was not involved in the plane crash , in which yevgeny prigozhin, the head of the bagner group, allegedly died, it happened yesterday , let me remind you, ah, oleksiy, do you believe that yevgeny prigozhin, yevgeny prigozhin, died, let's go

let's wait, we don't have to touch something when it's so hot, we have to wait until it cools down a little. that 's it. we 'll understand all the events that took place. i can say that the march that took place. he decided that those people who gave him instructions to move through moscow , they stopped him, moreover, everything that is happening will still have consequences, this is not the end of all these things that will happen in russia, mr. oleksiy, here is yours i am interested in your opinion, your assessment, and who can be behind this incident , what are the scenarios that you are considering, what are the likely russian ones, what is this, the transition of power has begun, we see that putin is losing his country today, which is already under control, and a lot will happen there in the near future interesting events, and i can emphasize once again that the fragmentation of russia has begun and is already underway, and when the west does not want to pay attention to it, does not want to prepare for it, this is

a big mistake of the west. that is why they must understand that this will happen regardless of their wishes or not, russia will be fragmented, some analysts are commenting on this plane crash, they say that on the contrary, because of the probable death of prigozhin, what kind of signal would this send to all others who might try? well, somehow question the authorities vladimir putin. how do you think this is completely true ? there is no such thing here, moreover, it is another blow to putin himself. well, let's wait and see how all this will happen if they take off from civilian airfields on the territory of russia. planes that something is happening in the air, you mean that something is happening in this country that is not so clear let's talk about the counteroffensive of the armed forces of ukraine that began in june, what conclusions can be drawn about it now the counteroffensive is taking place according to the plan that was approved a complex operation, as someone thought that

it was some kind of easy walk, but very quickly you can achieve the goals that we set before ourselves, the liberation of all our territories, so keep in mind that the enemy has a powerful enemy a certain system of defensive defense structures that he was able to build there, and that is why our progress is taking place in the way that it is possible to take place in order to keep the maximum number of our soldiers alive and unharmed, that is why it is difficult, but every day we step forward to liberate our entire territory, mr. oleksiy here is this, in particular , behind the icons, they wrote about the fact that, with reference to their sources, the ukrainian authorities wanted to delay the beginning of the counteroffensive until the last because they did not have an advantage or at least parity in the air, they were engaged in advocacy for the provision of f-16 aircraft to ukraine, and today it became known that three countries officially agreed to provide these aircraft, how they

can change the course of hostilities and when they can be used, as soon as our pilots arrive, according to the certification, they will be in our sky f-16 it will be in the near future, i can't tell you the date that it will be tomorrow the day after tomorrow , the appropriate training procedures are taking place for the adoption by our e-e aces of this e-e modern technology, here it is will definitely be in the sky and then there will already be a certain parity because today there is really a theory that there is no parity in the air and this complicates many issues that are currently on the front as soon as the f16s appear and will be maximally used by our armed forces believe me, the situation will radically change before your eyes. i will also quote another american publication, more precisely, another western publication or the island journal, which writes that a--and in the west can already begin to prepare

for a new offensive by the armed forces of ukraine, which it will probably be in the spring. can you comment on this in any way? and what does ukraine need for the u.s. contour offensive? well, in particular , with weapons. well, when it comes to the western press, when they start telling what will happen here , the offensive is going on, we have a war, a war, everyone the day brings its er these or other er corrections to the events taking place at the front. i am no longer sure that we will not stop until we vacate our territory. moreover, i want to remind you that the representatives of all almost exclusively nato member countries made a statement about the fact that they will help us and will be with us until the moment we directly receive the victory that we ukrainians will consider fair, for which we sincerely thank them, and we can clearly say today that from the united states, great britain, germany , france, other countries as much as possible now

are involved in helping to make this happen as a moscowian, i apologize for perhaps a somewhat provocative question. and do you believe that the west keeps this promise, in particular , considering the fact that we read more and more often, really in the media that, well, some may not be disappointed, well, they expected a different pace of the offensive, you see the risk that western support may slow down because of this, i don't know what i expected and i clearly understand that war is a very difficult thing if someone thinks that you can predict all the events that take place on the front, and determine in advance all the points , that is, in which are difficult, which are easy, in the war, they do not work from the word at all. i want to remind you that all analysts without exclusively excluding units or other countries were told that on february 24 the end of our country will come in a short period of time, in a week 1.5-2 they will complete

all the tasks and russia was considered invincible at that time. and we have been proving for a year and a half that this is absolutely not like that, we broke all the stereotypes in the west, including in relation to the russian army. we brought a surprise for our country, for our people, absolutely perfect in relation to the behavior of our armed forces of the entire security and defense sector. that they will take over us very easily, as it happened to them in other operations. it is not the first time that they have come across such a situation, but for the first time they have touched the power that gives them the corresponding periods, and i emphasize once again that i am more unsure that all the stories that are being heard now in one or another mass media, it is purely let's put it this way, information that is thrown in for one or another thing in order to see the reaction of the parties, we will fight for our ukraine until our complete

victory, we have no other way. we do not can we put this war on the shoulders of our grandchildren and on our children we must put an end to this war especially since our children are already taking part in this war those boys and girls were born during the time of independence, they were born after august 1991 , they are today they are already holding weapons in their hands, they already have titles today, they already have state awards, all uh, children who are already defending their native country and have never been to the ussr and have no desire to know what kind of institution it was, and what kind of dream uh rebuild this modern hitler, mr. oleksiy and how do you see the future of the war? i want to ask about the probability of the scenario. do you believe that it can maintain that level of intensity in the future, maybe next year, or is there a possible scenario that the intensity of the fighting will decrease ? from many factors to you today

, i don't think there is a person in the world who can give you these forecasts because of, i emphasize, forecasts in the war . this is not a completely correct thing. it depends on many circumstances. it depends on many things that will happen, including not only in russia, but also in other countries of the world. because the whole world is interconnected, i can say that it is a single coordinate system. will she continue this support or will other countries of the russian federation support them because they, if they were on their own, they definitely already betrayed all of them , but they did not have the ability to conduct such military operations as they are conducting now i can say once again that forecasting is an ungrateful thing, but we do our own thing, let's do our own thing, the only thing i want to note is that the russian federation cannot defeat us militarily, and that is why it has plan b - it is to try to shake

our country due to internal destabilization. but we will be vigilant here and it is not admissible to the events that the russian federation was counting on at the expense of those honey collaborators, who recently we are recording more and more who came from luhansk at one time ran there with these colorado ribbons, and now they are sitting in on youtube, unfortunately, not on the territory of our country, but nevertheless, they pretend to be ukrainians and start telling you that they have something there , mr. oleksiy. finally, i want to clarify the delegation of american senators was in kyiv yesterday. elections next year give a short answer if it is possible it is possible when the hostilities are over because during the war it is quite a difficult thing because once again well this is about justice the state must ensure its voting by all without citizens who have the right to do so, and during the war it is extremely difficult

to do so, that is why we will act according to the law of our country , or according to our constitution, and we will determine when we should hold elections according to our legislation and not according to the wishes of one or another our respected partners who believe that we can violate our laws no, we can never violate our laws, thank you very much for joining our broadcast, we were contacted by the secretary of the national security council oleksiy danil, her son was not afraid of death and dreamed of living to victory, so about his son from nizhyn oleksandr matievsky, who was shot by the russian military for the slogan glory to ukraine, says his mother paraska demchuk, a video of this shooting appeared on the networks at the beginning of march and it became viral, hundreds of thousands of people around the world then watched it and wrote glory to the heroes since then , almost six months have passed, but oleksandr matievsky's mother says that

she still can't come to terms with the death of the son of the heroes of ukraine, god, if it were alive, i don't even understand what my son's reaction would be. he was proud of the boys who received awards from the president. he also became heroes. he didn't want to die. he wanted to long for the victorious end, you understand. he wanted it. he said it. this is how we will win. then he will learn the ukrainian language. it doesn't cure. maybe it dulls it a little, but i have a case with my son. he is personal, you understand. the children died second, well, the soldiers and mainlanders did not see how they died, you understand. and there is this picture that opens on facebook on the internet, i see it

almost every day, you understand, and it is impossible to forget it, how did he feel, he said goodbye to me i kissed you, mom. thank you for your life, mom. it can happen that you can't even gather your hands and feet . let's go to the past. yura sashenka . we finished we wished each other i even cried and take care i kiss you and hug you this is how we said goodbye to them this is how we had our last conversation so watching this video is just as painful as the first time you know only i will take a closer look at what

lies around his look i'm still figuring out his look what was in his eyes, what was he thinking about and at that time, when oto was looking like that, he was just thinking that what, how can i get out of that situation , what can i do, because he said, mom, i will never surrender to captivity like there will be a grenade, there are still five of them with me, and here they would be caught in a panic, maybe even thinking about what to do, what to do if it is death, how to bring it closer, this is the slogan glory to ukraine, it was from his heart, it was his soul that said glory to ukraine i miss my son very much, many things do not remember him

you understand. i lived only with my son. we had such a strong bond, and everything i did i wanted to do pleasantly to feed my son deliciously. i knew what he liked, and now i'm going out into the garden, these big pink tomatoes, how he liked to cut them with mayonnaise with garlic, you know it reminds me of pain, i cry, eat this, nobody dreams of what he wants , i will bring it to him , too, to the cemetery. yatnikiv onion do not think that it is so easy i will pass. don't think that it's so easy, you know. it would be better if the son was bigger

. it would be better if none of this happened. it would be better if the son was alive. patriotism based on the examples of soldiers. and only my son, and that's why there should be monuments, you know. even though i'm against it, there should be monuments not only to my son , but to heroes sasha as a symbol of all heroes, all soldiers who died. this is just a symbol of

ukrainian defenders. that's how i consider it in fact, oleksandr matievskyi was mentioned by the president of ukraine volodymyr zelenskyi in his address and congratulations to ukrainians on independence day today, and now to lviv we will tell you about the first blue-yellow flag in ukrainian history on the roof of the lviv city hall now our correspondent halyna tereshchuk halyna congratulations i know that blue the yellow flag over the lviv town hall was the first in the middle of the 19th century. well, it was also one of the first. when ukraine was on its way to leaving the ussr, tell us the details. greetings , colleague. greetings to all viewers of svoboda radio. in fact, i am now at the city hall and to the blue-and-yellow flag. and i can literally give my hand. but we will move from april 3, 1990, when this blue-and-yellow flag was actually hung here, to 175 years ago, when in 1848, an unknown resident of lviv actually

hung a blue- the yellow rurva, but not here on the mountain, but somewhere on one of the windows of the city hall nearby, a white and red banner was also hung at that time. the actual reason for this was the revolution in european countries, the spring of peoples , the movement for the creation of independent national states and the main russian council then spoke about the fact that the russian colors are blue and yellow, and the ancient symbol is the lion. and in 1849 , next to the austrian flag , a blue-yellow one was hung already. the history reached november 1, 1918, it is not quite like that. a good date because since then all the armed confrontation between ukrainians and poles and the ukrainian-polish war of 1918-1919 and already on june 30, 1941, when

german troops entered the streets of lviv , the blue-yellow flag was also decided here and then on this day, bandera proclaimed the act on the revival of the ukrainian state, then the ukrainian state existed literally for a few days, and we had to wait for 1990, when the blue-yellow flag was already flying over lviv under the majors, and in 1991 , the independence of ukraine was proclaimed. i interviewed passers-by in lviv, but how did the full-scale war in ukraine affect on their understanding of independence of this concept of independence of ukraine and what they answered people we can now listen i was always for our free ukraine i always voted for this independence

the more it became even higher because before well, how can i say, how did it turn out? and now, really, only for independence, the war has escalated even more, this issue is very painful, very serious, because, in principle, we did not expect that such an alleged neighbor would attack us, and today our best sons and daughters are dying defending our state, the independence of ukraine, you know how it is, as a newborn, i thought that i would never be able to speak ukrainian. i learned to speak ukrainian. yes , i now see all the processes taking place in a different way. we were like formal ukrainians and now we really have a different birth. when the politicians and the citizens of our independent ukraine restored independence in 1991, we got it quite easily. during all those years, we did not

understand the price of all this and our enemy country - still, since the 14th year , the neighbor has been giving us an understanding of the type that this independence cannot be without human losses, this independence is quite expensive for us, in fact, today the independence day of ukraine was held in lviv. like a day of remembrance for the fallen ukrainians as defenders and defenders from the very morning, actually relatives and also came to the graves of the fallen soldiers of their sons, husbands, parents, children came and this is actually e there they honored and it was such sad moments of this remembrance and gratitude to the fallen soldiers who today defend ukraine, the war for independence, so they say today lvivians thank you, colleagues. i have everything , thank you. halyna tereshchuk was in touch with us from lviv

. she also told us about the history of the first blue-yellow flag in ukraine and how lvivians are celebrating the 32nd anniversary today. ukraine's independence as a full-scale war of russia against ukraine influenced the understanding of ukraine's independence, a year and a half of the great war, and whether victory in the war will bring ukraine closer to the european union or bring european integration closer to these questions are answered by ukrainian writer oksana zabuzhko on the independence day of ukraine on february 24. it became absolutely obvious, absolutely obvious, and it's already uh, well , here it is. this is the very war for independence and all related topics, such as uh, it means they, too, dependence is not a fact and not an act. and this is a process, it is not only the ukrainian war , it is by no means a local ukrainian war, it is

for us a war for independence, but in reality , it is a much more serious war, which is designed to clean up the mistakes of the three-hundred-year cycle of human history and to the question it means and what to do i explain not intrusively means from all the possible tribunes provided to me i answer i do not ask myself i answer others that the collapse of russia is not inevitable now and civilizationally more useful for humanity than its preservation as it was mistakenly decided by a collective measure 30 years ago , i.e. in 1991. so, the disintegration of russia, the search for the mildest possible disintegration of russia, this is the

civilizational prospect that humanity must wait for, and it is indisputable indisputable that it means a regrouping of forces to say - at the center of regional leadership, all of this will happen, all of this awaits us ahead of us. i would say an exciting period of reconstruction that will take the lives of perhaps more than one generation. well, in the end, what is strange here, humanity does not end every day the three-hundred-year cycle m-m here er-er, that is, all this is ahead, that is, our er-er, our victory as it is formulated on a short rock well, so conventionally speaking as it is formulated by zaluzhny do you understand this

er-er, well, this is to say a near-term goal er i still so i work on i work on something else to say in another reality in another dimension i work with far-reaching meanings with philosophical and historical ones for a long distance and so it is a difficult and interesting period ahead. year and probably not one decade, so in reality there is a lot of work here, a lot of work, a lot of work for everyone, hands full of work for everyone , starting from uh, meaning those who are responsible for it, because the civil service, so to speak, and for our taxes. everyone
