a war crime. deliberate attacks on civilians are war crimes. the leadership of russia, all commanders, executors and assistants. crimes will be prosecuted, war crimes do not go unpunished. in the united states , they believe that the strike by the russian military on the village of groza demonstrates why the american congress should approve aid to ukraine. this was stated by the spokeswoman of the white house, karin jeanpierre, during the briefing. this is what happens in ukraine every day. this is why we are doing everything possible to help ukraine, to help the brave people of ukraine, to fight for them. to fight for their democracy, and that's again something the president keeps talking about over and over again. we must continue to support the people of ukraine, it is a terrible nature in which they live every day. the missile attack by russian forces was condemned by the united nations, which reminded

that attacks on civilians are a violation of international law. attacks on civilians and civilian infrastructure are prohibited by international humanitarian law and must be immediate. i will only note that in the russian ministry of defense is currently not receiving any information about the attack on the village of groza, in the daily briefings, regarding the kupyansk direction, they wrote about artillery strikes with the support of aviation on the villages of novoselivske, luhansk region, as well as tymkivka and senkivka, kharkiv. our correspondents saw the consequences of this tragedy in the village of groza in the kupyan region in the early hours, before you see this video, i have to tell you. that the footage contains sensitive content and may shock you was the reburial of a soldier who died, well he himself was from here and died during the occupation, he was buried somewhere in the dnipro, i

don't know for sure, and they decided to rebury him here, well, to bring him home to the village, they gathered people for a memorial service, and then a rocket flew. many died, died, you all too, my brother, my sister-in-law died, my mother died, many acquaintances died, whom, whom i knew, well, you can say, destroyed with one blow half a village, just half a village, we came here from kivsharivka, internal displacement of people, but someone died here, a daughter, a son-in-law and a brother-in-law. they have already been found, or the niece has been found, and the daughter of fear has not been found yet, the grandson came running, then said that there is no stranger here, today people,

all local residents, i repeat, all civilians, no military, gathered for the wake of their... close relative , who was reburied, and that is why they were all in one place, this is a mini, let's say, a cafe , a cafe shop, let's call it that, a small room, with a small area, around 1:00 p.m., this room was hit by a direct rocket , it has already been established precisely that this iskander rocket, on at the time of arrival, the premises were approximately... 50 people, due to the fact that the premises are small, not covered with shelter, and in fact there was a direct bombardment, that is why there are so many victims, for today, for today's minute, now 51 dead, six

wounded , among the dead there is one child, a girl, about six years old, and there is also one child among the wounded. in the comments under our broadcast, those who are watching svoboda ranok now write their condolences to the families of the victims, we join in these condolences, and dmytro joins our broadcast chubenko, this is the spokesman of the kharkiv regional prosecutor's office, dmytro, i congratulate you, i congratulate you, please tell me the data published by the police about the type of weapon with which the actual lightning was hit, how true it is, what are the latest details, which was actually the motive, why exactly... it flew there, well, according to preliminary information, it still remains iskander m, it was they who were previously struck, ah, we will be able to provide more accurate information after the relevant

explosives examination is conducted. say anything please, at the time when the flight arrived, was it in this area , was an air alert announced, what is known in this context, was there still no air alert, what are the preliminary data that the prosecutor’s office has, and- and, regarding the air alarm, in this area , ah, i want to draw your attention to the fact that the iskander moves along a ballistic trajectory, depending on the ballistic position, there are also cruise missiles, depending on the type of the missile that was used, regarding that , whether there was an air alarm at that moment, i am not ready to say now, on the occasion identification of the bodies of those people who died, as of yesterday evening , 35 bodies were known, dna examination was needed for the rest, has anything changed since the morning and why is it actually difficult to identify these bodies?

well, not everyone had to be identified with the help of dna, er, due to a strong explosion, many bodies were torn into pieces and the process of identification was taking place with the help of recognition by relatives, friends, close people, and this process is also continuing this morning recognition, a situation that is no longer the case today prosecutors and investigators will be able to establish the identity of the dead, then the dna examination will already be used , as early as this morning, the analysis of the rubble continued in order to finally make sure that there are no remains, body parts, or people who died under the rubble, as there was such a version , that several... persons were considered missing because they were in this area, and then

they could not be found and it was believed that they might be under these rubbles, mr. dmytro, but yesterday the law enforcement officers were not in public, and and in the end they publicly began to talk about the fact that the blow was very clear and very accurate , and probably it could have been carried out by someone from the local people, what can you say about that, because according to the police, searches are ongoing, in whom they are continuing, who are the people whom are looking for what is known in this context, in fact, is the one who pointed, he is really local? indeed, the strike was very precise, accurate and it was used very precisely, an expensive missile, as there are few of them in russia, therefore, based on the motives of this strike, which are currently unknown, it may have really been guidance, by someone locals, as it was believed... the russians believed that there would be military personnel at these funerals and at the memorial service of the deceased, the deceased

military personnel, but there were only military personnel, only civilians, that's it, it's mostly women, dmitry, that is, i want to clarify, just , in order to understand correctly, that is, it is quite possible that the motive could be that the russian forces believed that there would be ukrainian servicemen at this memorial service, but instead they were not there, there were only civilians, that is why the flight could have arrived in this particular location. yes, yes, exactly because of that, exactly as you said, yes, about people, you mentioned that yesterday not all of them, the fate of not all of them was known, someone was considered missing, then they have already been found, those who were considered missing, information has already been confirmed that they died, is it still possible that someone's fate is still there have not been officially established and it is not clear whether they are alive, what is known about it, and please repeat the question, you told my previous question that as of yesterday... in the evening there were people who were considered missing , and it was unclear whether they were at these wakes or not, or whether their fates had already

as of today, they were known, they turned out to be alive, they turned out to be dead, the process of analyzing the rubble is still ongoing, and regarding the persons who disappeared, information is still circulating, and we talked with you about the motives, er, the fact, actually, which i am also interested, when the prosecutor's office collects all the necessary evidence and conducts this investigation, this data will then be transferred somewhere to some international organization, in addition, why these investigations are constantly being conducted, whether the ukrainian side will attract the russian military to responsibility? all the recording of war crimes, they are made in order to bring the russian military to criminal responsibility in the international criminal court, firstly, secondly, to establish justice, justice for those war crimes, were committed, that is, we understand that the jurisdiction of the ukrainian courts

to bring putin , shoigu and other war criminals to justice will not work, therefore , this is possible only with the help of the international jurisdiction of the international criminal court, please tell me more from about the gunners who are looking for law enforcement officers, if they were such, are there already the first suspects, maybe those who are pointed out by the locals that they could be them, the law enforcement officers have some information, who are they? could be, are there already suspects, and no, this version is still being verified, the probable suspects or those involved in this have not yet been identified, and more. moment regarding the actual morning attack on kharkiv oblast, your employees are also working at the scene of the incident, and we can see it from the telegram channel, in particular the kharkiv regional prosecutor's office, tell us in more detail, what is known as of now is today, yes, according to the morning strike on kharkiv, yes, yes, i am now at the site of one of the rocket hits, there were two

hits in total, one in the territory of the slobitsky district, the other in the territory of kyiv. district, specialized services are working on the spot, in the slobitsky district, just 15 minutes ago, they found that the body of a ten-year-old boy was found under the rubble, and before that , an injured 11-month-old child was found under the rubble, both children from the same family, their the parents are now in the hospital, that is, we already have one dead child, a ten-year-old boy and an injured 11-year-old, also about 20 people received various degrees of physical injuries, for the most part, these are precisely stab wounds from glass, from bricks, stones, closed brain injuries, and many of them have already been hospitalized. dmitry, can you, i am asking you, literally, this is a civilian object,

you can show, if there is an opportunity to show how the place looks now, the actual shot, if it is allowed, then a few frames, you can turn the phone to the side so that the audience can see, this is a completely civilian object, but we are leaving, safe, so it is three hours for civilian objects, we do not show from the place of shelling, here soon all the information will be published, it is both the places of impact are the middle of the city, one is almost in the center of the city in a residential area. the second, also a residential area, is the usual, ordinary, sleeping areas of the city, the central ones. thank you for this activation, thank you for the information you provided, dmytro chubenko, spokesman of the kharkiv regional prosecutor's office, guest of our broadcast, we talked about yesterday's strike by russian forces on cargo in the kupyan district and about the morning shelling of the city of kharkiv as well.

and while people's bodies were being pulled out from under the rubble in a thunderstorm, after the russian attack, russian president putin gave a speech at the valdai international discussion club in sochi and talked about the war against ukraine, as usual, without calling it a war. he says that russia is quietly achieving its goals in the so-called svo, which is what the kremlin calls a full-scale invasion of ukraine. on the 12th direction, according to potin, the army of the russian federation allegedly has a tactical advance, and 335,000 people have signed contracts with the ministry of defense. in addition, the russian president again mentioned ukraine's losses in the counteroffensive. i noted that in ukraine, war losses are a secret. he did not name the information about the loss of the army of the russian federation. since june 4 alone, ukrainian units have lost more than 90,000 people, these are irreversible sanitary losses. 57 tanks, almost 1,900 armored vehicles of various classes, 1,900 armored vehicles of various classes. putin also

stated that he hopes, as he puts it, on manifestation of the germs of madness regarding the support of ukraine by the west, that is, he actually hopes that the west will stop helping ukraine, if this happens, ukraine will last only a week , putin says, толко это недутит, you should just stop it, in a week everything will fall, that's it, the same this is about the defense system, imagine, the supply will stop tomorrow, there will be a week left to live, when the ammunition will run out, when will it run out? and russia also says that it is not against ukraine joining the european union, but against its membership in nato, because the expansion of the alliance is a threat to the russian federation, putin mentioned in his speech the ukrainian city of odesa, calling it a russian and, i quote, a little jewish city, he said this in the context of a question from a russian journalist with the surname shtir, who remarked that

he would not be asked about odesa this year. last year, the same journalist in valdai asked putin when he will finally be able to visit his... beloved odesa in 2022, or in two years, in fact, asking when russia is occupying odesa, another statement by putin was about using nuclear weapons, putin says , which russia can apply for two reasons, because an attack on russia, if there is a threat to the existence of the russian state, there is neither one nor the other at the moment - says putin. ihor romanenko, military expert, lieutenant general. retired, the guest of our broadcast, good morning to you, good, if he is, thank you for joining, well, this is a formal greeting, we do not state any fact about whether he is good or not, in fact , volodymyr said that he is waiting for the end of support west of ukraine. to what extent such an option is possible from your point of view, taking into account what is actually happening now in europe, after the elections in certain countries, and

the situation we have today in the united states, with the allocation of aid to ukraine. well, unfortunately, we see manifestations of such approaches, we see the suspension of funding for 45 days in america, we see support for ukraine. that the prepared tranche stopped in slovakia, and this is what she said about the transfer of arms to ukraine, which was prepared in connection, as she said, with the wishes of the voters, well, we see the efforts of orbán, in hungary, some politicians, others, that is... this is a difficult situation occasion, but in this situation we need to decide our goals

for the defense of our state, in this regard, it is important to meet our president as the supreme commander in spain, where the allies, european, first of all supported, in the future, and planned to strengthen the potential ours in the field of air defense, artillery, ammunition, missiles, long-range weapons, this is very important, and the europeans continue to help, i think that the americans, president biden spoke about it, will find ways to overcome this political crisis. for the first time in the history of america, the speaker of the lower house was removed and we will find a way out of this provision and we will continue our

struggle to achieve the goal of deoccupation of our country. mr. igor , i would like to dwell on the military part of putin's speech, he reminded that the russian military doctrine has two reasons for the possible use of nuclear weapons, it is a blow to russia and a threat to russia's existence, that is, to lower the threshold of use. in the doctrine, putin said, there is currently no need, then there will be no nuclear war, or this second point is a threat the existence of russia, it can be interpreted by the russian authorities in different ways, at the moment, our military and political leadership has repeatedly analyzed the situation, and these threats made by representatives of the russian federation, including ex-president medvedev and others, are relative to the increase. the dignity of starting such a nuclear war, and the current time, this is more propaganda pressure on the leadership of our allies,

first of all, on their citizens, taking into account the fact that in many countries election processes are taking place, and putin is using his funds, uses its allies in all countries in order to change... the situation regarding the provision of assistance to ukraine in this struggle, therefore , in principle, it does not change in connection with the conduct of hostilities in these large-scale wars, there are some new elements of conducting propaganda work on the part of the russian federation, including the speech of putin himself. please tell me, the losses of ukrainian troops during the summer counter-offensive were more than 90,000 people, this is what putin said again to the russian audience yesterday speaking at this summit. for whom are these numbers calculated? in fact, the ukrainian side does not officially comment on them , the information is classified in ukrainka, why

does he name such numbers and what could be the real losses on both sides, if we analyze the events at the front? designed for a wide range of those whom they want to influence, starting their own electorate . as we know, next year putin also has formal elections, but still, that is, the re-election of him, and therefore the citizens of bolot, in addition , this information for citizens in ukraine, in order to show the futility of launching hostilities, and it is necessary to surrender on russian terms, it is necessary to legitimize the occupation of... lands by russia and, on this occasion, move on to efforts to influence the leadership of western countries, including using these

figures of propagandists who support putin, thanks to including large gas and oil companies, dollars that putin uses for such work in the countries of our allies, that is , a fairly wide spectrum on whom he would like to influence, and well, the consequences, someone hears it, someone... does not, it is necessary to carry out anti-propaganda work, respectively, in order to clarify, and on our part to work with our capabilities, as well as to work together with our allies to stop russian propaganda, because information warfare is a very important possible component of the federation. mr. igor, one more short

question, to conclude the question, one thing, we have about a minute of time, but russia is calmly moving towards achieving its goals, withdrawing from the so-called svo, putin said. what goals do you think he had in mind, or is it just words again? in order to reassure russian society that we are not at war just like that, well, there can be no peace and talk , because he is asking for peace and a solution, we remember kyiv in three days, ukraine in a week, that's all this is the rest, the blitz cry that was interrupted, that did not come true, and now the question is to achieve a pause, thanks to the use of which to move to solving one's internal problems, because they have accumulated, which is negative, not at all like he planned for himself directly in the russian

federation, not to mention relations from this one states of terror, i don’t want to interrupt you, but i want to pick up on what you said about this pause, that is, zelensky’s statement that by 2028 putin wants to conditionally freeze the war, she has reasons to believe so, and that quite possible scenario, this is how they have been doing it for the last year somewhere, when from the point of view, not only the cheese, the war did not go as they wanted, it is necessary to leave ... from this position, he feels what threats it can turn into for the russian federation and his personally and therefore is looking for a pause in order to stop actions and gain time for recovery and reformatting in the future, actions, including military actions, for its benefit and the benefit of the aggressor country. thank you very much, mr. igor, for your analysis, igor romanenko, military expert,

retired lieutenant general, guest of our this is freedom morning and don't miss this on the air. the ministry of social policy is writing a new social code and plans to carry out a global reformatting of benefits, what this means in practice for those who receive assistance, we will ask the minister of social policy of ukraine. the 30th lvivform international literary festival continues these days in lviv. which of the famous foreign authors came to lviv despite the full-scale war and what ukrainians read during the war. do not forget to subscribe to radio svoboda's youtube channel, it is important that you and i are always in touch, and also read us in telegram, there is always operational and updated information. an informal summit of the leaders of the european union begins in spanish granada, the day before in a wider circle not only the leaders of the eu countries, but actually of the entire geographical europe met. ukrainian president volodymyr

zelenskyi arrived at the meeting. he held a number of bilateral. meetings with the leaders of germany, france, spain and the leadership of the european union. he also spoke with the armenian prime minister, in which mood the president came to granada and what results can be expected, radio liberty correspondent olena abramovych will tell. this is a summit about free and frank conversations, hugs without promises and obligations. that's what diplomats in brussels call meetings european political community. it was founded by french president emmanuel macron last year and invited the entire continent, 47 democratic countries, except for russia and belarus. volodymyr zelenskyi, whose participation was not announced until the last, was the first to arrive in granada, spain, for the third such summit. the main challenges facing all of us are , first of all, the preservation of unity in europe, i am not talking only about the eu countries, but about the whole of europe. i think that will be the biggest challenge, that's why.
