[000:00:00;00] it is difficult to say here, because probably each of these 83 countries has its own reasons for voting, i think maybe up to a quarter of these countries would be there, they would be ashamed to vote if it were open, but at the same time, really russia maintains some mechanisms, especially in bilateral negotiations, where it can... it can supposedly agree with its partners, real or imagined, that the vote is complete, in a certain way, and they get something in return. ms. anna, in your opinion, what are the risks of returning? russia to the un human rights council, if this happened today, for example? these are primarily the risks of storing the existing, preserving

the existing. the international legal order, the world security order and risks for human rights as such, because when russia , or any country, respects and really implements human rights, because we are not only talking about the crimes that russia has committed and continues to commit in ukraine, we are also talking about the situation in the occupation of georgia, crimes, military and other, which are committed in syria, that is, that as for all countries, these are problems of the international community as such, ms. anna, thank you for the explanation, anna myketenko, head of the ukrainian office of the public organization global rights compliance, we talked about the fact that today in new york there was a vote on the election of new members to the un human rights council, russia also applied for one of the seats together with albania, bulgaria, but got the least

number of votes, 83, well, it turned out to be the least, bulgaria and albania got their seats, russia, no. we will continue to talk with you about situation in the south of ukraine, as announced at the beginning of this talk hour, nataliya gumenyuk, head of the joint coordination press center of the defense forces of the south of ukraine, joins our conversation. mrs. natalya, good evening. glory to ukraine. glory to the heroes, i congratulate you. mrs. natalya, the general staff wrote in the evening summary that until noon, such. operational situation in the east and south of ukraine. remains complicated, please explain to us what is behind this word complicated? well, first of all, the enemy does not stop its pressure and tries to counteract those efforts, which the defense forces exert in order to liberate the territories, in our area of ​​responsibility, it is a counter -battery fight, mainly, and the destruction

of the enemy's capabilities leads, as a response, to the fact that they try to press back, to put pressure on the local population, because the opposite bank is people who live in settlements along the water cut, if the defense forces choose their targets on the left bank carefully, trying not to harm the civilian population, the enemy, in contrast, acts as a carpet method of cover by fire, destroys absolutely indiscriminately infrastructure objects. residential, social, including the use of cabs, although there were no cabs used during this combat day, but we observe that in the last few days, we see their concentration increased especially at night, it is quite likely that this was connected with worsening weather conditions, by the way, the difficult situation

is also complicated by the weather, although... now the storm warning in our area of ​​​​responsibility is subsiding, and even at sea we can no longer see a storm, and the enemy has deployed a group of ships, if within two days, until the storm there were only submarine missile carriers, or just two units that barely held on, now there are already eight ships, among them two submarine missile carriers continue to be on combat duty, this is equipment with calibers of up to eight units, and in this case, we assess the level of missile danger as extremely high because submarine launches are usually very difficult to detect, missiles can travel very close to the surface of the water and can only be detected immediately before impact, so when we say that on there are underwater missile carriers on duty, it must be taken into account that in the event of a declaration of missile danger, it is necessary to urgently go to shelter. mrs. natalya, if

you analyze the last stage. there in the last few days, they still concentrated more on drones, but i personally , well, there, as far as kyiv, central ukraine, the western part of ukraine is concerned, well, for quite a long time, you know, knock on wood, there were no such massive missile attacks, what is this connected with and what is the threat, what if now there are missile carriers, what this trend can to break off, the trend can break off at any moment, it must be understood that as long as the enemy has a missile reserve at all, he can use it, and for this they can choose, as we have already said, and the most... divided moments, this there can be isolated wheelbarrow strikes, as they did with ballistic weapons, for example, to maintain tension for a period while accumulating a certain resource, the fact that they

mainly use drones is, of course, a cheaper method of defeat and already available just ready to use , so what as for the missile potential, it is quite obvious that they are trying to accumulate it, let me remind you, the production is not stopped, but it is slowed down by the influence of sanctions and they have a certain period of time to withstand in order to gain that potential, if we talk about their preparation, which everyone is aware of the upcoming heating season, when last year they released several dozens of rockets per attack, now it is obvious that they need to accumulate such. potential, yes, in addition, we can talk about the fact that the pause is 10-14 days that we monitored, i think you also remember during the past blackouts, they, it is fully justified by the training of personnel, coordination

of actions, on the example of air and sea missile carriers, and now in the conditions when the naval administration was some staff reshuffles related to fragmentation in some territories, they quite possibly need additional coordination, ms. natalie, but if we are talking about exactly missile strikes on civilian infrastructure, critical infrastructure, today is exactly one year since at the moment of this first major strike on the energy infrastructure, and then according to the ministry of defense, 83 missiles were fired at us, in your opinion, how many repetitions of such massive strikes are possible, then, as far as i remember, later there was a frenzy. which arrived according to the air force? it is quite likely that there may be repetitions, because we are dealing with a crazy enemy, although reason tells us that their use will be obvious,

and we observe this by trying on such tactics of mixed attacks, attacks using and drones and missiles, with varying degrees of intensity, this is also, we have also been observing recently, the exhaustion of air defense and the delivery of more effective strikes. it is necessary to understand that the enemy also learns, also draws conclusions and cannot be underestimated. ms. natalie, returning to the topic of cabs, you said that now they are mostly used at night, well , in the last period, why? most likely, it was related to the weather conditions, because several days in a row, there were very significant changes, the temperature dropped and a clean wind, and a thunderstorm warning, and it just happened to be more than a day for the good time of the year, that is, this is the story. mrs. natalya, thank you for the information about the south

, nataliya homanyuk, head of the united coordination press center of the defense forces of the south of ukraine, talked about the situation there, also about such prognoses about possible missile attacks, in particular on critical infrastructure, such a threat is in the black there are missile carriers in the sea, this is generally a threat, missile danger and missile threat, so let's be careful if you hear the alarm air signal, you and i all know perfectly well what to do, i hope, at least, we survived the russian occupation, but now they are subjected to regular shelling, seven villages of the velikymovosilkiv community in donetsk region, almost destroyed. how are the 500 people living who remained in their homes, or in what was left of them. yulia slabinska saw. this is the former building of the administration of the veliko novosilka community, and this is the central square of veliko novosilka. here we did not see a single surviving building, broken power lines, a road battered by shells. halyna moved to this house more than a year

ago, when the invaders started shelling her boring village. he says there was nowhere to hide. my husband was lying down, so he didn't get up, we came here. it's not boring , we moved here and now he died and i don't want to move anywhere, why should i? i think everything will be fine, a family lives in this house. well, it seems like nothing now , well, we live without light, we have been living for a year and a half, well , nothing, we work, we plant a garden without windows , the walls and ceiling are broken, this is what mykola's house looks like, he lives alone here alone a bomb fell there, the second one from that side, the third one, the fourth one, that's all, where were

you... the man covered the hole in the wall with a carpet , says he is hiding in the basement from the shelling, there was a garage above the basement, but it was destroyed by a russian rocket. about 300 people remain in large novosilka. the situation in this locality is tense, explosions do not stop, constant arrivals, aviation, artt, arrivals. in the de-occupied settlements of the community, this year in july, this... lives fertile, makarivka, staromorske, fruitful, there is not a single survivor left building, says serhiy yashchenko, the head of the velikonovasilkiv military administration, people do not live there, yuliya slabinska, oleksandr buryak, donbas public news, well , we will continue to talk about the situation in zaporizhia oblast, askata shurbekov, deputy of the zaporizhia regional council, joins our conversation, mr. askat, good evening, glory to ukraine, congratulations, glory to you... today we spoke with the representative of the legion of freedom, konstantin

denisov, in the zaporizhzhia region, and he informed us that the fighting was intensifying on the front line by the occupiers. what about the settlements, what were the attacks of the occupiers on the settlements of the zaporizhzhia region today? well, in fact , there has not been a single day that the occupiers somehow reduced the activity of shelling, only yesterday, there were 117 shellings, more than 20 settlements. of course, the most affected are orihiv, holipole, molotokchka, preobrazhenska, tavriysk communities, in fact , these are all communities located in the orihiv direction, where the most active hostilities are taking place today, of course the enemy is trying to somehow take revenge there and also go to some counter-offensive actions, however, according to the nature of the hostilities, our soldiers advance every day, not giving the enemy any chance, and meter by meter, in fact, almost every day, we have active news of advances towards tokmak,

novoprokopivka, verbogo, today it is exactly like this, the line of confrontation passes precisely through these settlements. mr. skade, under such conditions, how does the region prepare for the heating season, in particular in the war zone? in the zone hostilities, of course, 10 to 15% of the population still lives there today, there is no gas supply, i mean the communities there on the line 0.5 from the front line, there is burning in the form of stoves, from the regional authorities, from on the part of humanitarian organizations, those people who remained there are provided with the necessary materials that will allow them to survive the winter, these are the stoves themselves, this is also firewood, these are the briquettes that are needed there, which allow them, in principle, to survive - the winter , but again , we constantly ask to evacuate from this territory precisely during the active period of hostilities, if we talk about communities that are more distant from the front line. that is , there is electricity, there is gas supply, in general,

the processes are quite stable, if there are no force majeure, then the city of zaporizhzhia and the outlying communities are fully ready for the disgraceful season. to what extent was it possible to restore the energy infrastructure of the zaporizhzhia region, after last year's series of attacks on critical infrastructure. everything is stable, everything works, in fact, zaporizhia is probably one of the few regional centers that, of course, also osienia were bombarded, but from the point of view of energy, at the expense of various types of generation at the expense of the general accumulation of these objects, the situation here is quite stable, that is, if there are no mass attacks again, i think that we winter will come with a normally functioning electrical infrastructure, let's hope that it will be like that, thank you for the conversation , according to askata shurbekov, a deputy of the zaporizhia regional council, against the situation in zaporizhia oblast, shelling of civil infrastructure, civilians continues houses, residential buildings on the contact line in zaporizhzhya. region, well, unfortunately

, israel is moving to a full-scale attack on the gaza sector, the country's defense minister yulan announced this during an address to the military, meanwhile, the hamas group is launching new strikes on the territory of israel. roxelana lisovska will tell more about the situation in the region. sirens sound in israel's ashkelon. this video is published by the middle east observer. yes, in response to shelling of the sector. gaza is responsible for hamas. hundreds of rockets were fired at ashkelon, tel aviv, rishon lezion - writes the times of israel. store shelves were emptied in cities, tsehal advised locals to stock up on food and water for 72 hours. a representative of the addin al-qassam brigades of hamas, under the pseudonym abu obeida , threatens the southern coastal city of ashkelon with a large-scale rocket attack in the coming

hours. if the policy of destruction of the civilian population does not stop, the kasama brigades will continue to destroy the city of ashkelon. it will not be destroyed, and then they will move to another city. about a large-scale attack on targets of hamas militants in the gaza strip, the israel defense forces also announced today. tzahal completely controls the areas around gaza. there were no terrorist infiltrations last night. we encountered only those who had already entrenched themselves in the fields among tens of thousands of our soldiers. also, civilians cannot now leave the gaza strip to the territory of israel. he said this in a conversation with the public. political scientist, colonel of the israel defense forces, arie zayden. he also predicts that israel's attack on gas will only increase. i think hamas itself was surprised by how much the blow was powerful, they needed significantly fewer dead civilians. they did not plan to cross the line after which israel would say: we

will destroy you. israel's ambassador to ukraine told the public that now the tzahal is gathering forces near the border with gaza, and there is a possibility that it will begin. ground operation. we know that the terrorists are taking more than a hundred hostages , obviously in the gas sector, which of course is a huge problem for israel, but israel has decided to act despite this sad situation, because our main goal, at this point - prevention of further infiltration of terrorists into israeli territory and destruction of the terrorist infrastructure of hamas in the gaza strip. also its destruction in neighboring lebanon. around 3:30 , armed clashes took place. half an hour later , artillery shelling began. thank god, no one was hurt. the day before , the israeli army announced that a group of militants from lebanon invaded the territory of ukraine to support hamas, they were eliminated. in response , sahal also shelled south lebanon and killed three members of hezbollah, the shiite organization,

which, like hamas, does not recognize israel's right to exist. the organization itself informed about the death of members of the group. the minister of foreign affairs of lebanon declares. that his government received assurances from the hezbollah group that it would not engage in hostilities with israel, some lebanese residents are temporarily leaving their homes - says local ahmat jawat. we will return, god willing. on saturday, the militants of the hamas movement invaded the territory of israel from the gaza strip, taking control of several settlements in the border zone and capturing dozens hostages in response, israel launched a counterattack. counterterrorist operation, it continues for the fourth day. iryna guts, rokslana lisovska, social, news. chevorons

approaching victory, based on the mortal danger that loomed over. ukraine, continuing the thousand-year tradition of state-building in ukraine, to declare ukraine an independent, democratic state on august 24, 1991. for 346. glory to ukraine, glory to you blue mountains, covered with ice, and great knights to you, not forgotten by god, fight, fight. god help you, for you the truth is, strength and will shine for you, a thousand years of state building, 105 years of struggle, 32 years of restoration of independence. you are like, everything

is normal, like children, like a mother, i have more or less everything, well, almost, of course, that fatigue, of course insomnia, but in no case do not feel it. because the strength is here, inside us, and in those who are close to us, we will certainly overcome everything. the war exacerbated everything, emotions became sharper, actions became the same. the best thing that saves me is walking around the city, long walks to my favorite music, and the most important thing, as they say in our village, is agro-fitness. it's bad, plant potatoes, it's done it's easier, go for the beets, the main thing is not to sit. in the four walls, because then the slipper even thought, why not start a flower bed in the city, and at least hollyhocks on the balcony? if you want to learn how to help yourself and others, visit

howard's website. com. mr. ambassador, thank you for your time and let's start with your background, because you worked here 20 years ago, and please tell us about your work then 20 years ago, and now 20 years later, when you came back, what changes impressed you the most? yes, thank you, i am very happy to return here to ukraine, and when i worked here... 20 years ago, and during the orange revolution, it was a very important period for me, both personally and professionally, and because personally in my family life, i was here with very young children, they grew up here, and we, we lived in nivki and went to the park, so this is a very important moment in my family life. but professionally as well, because it was a very important moment in the history and

development, in the development of ukraine, that is, i, i was very impressed by the resilience of the ukrainian people, who stood on the maidan for 17 days, stood for the right of democracy, and now the stability of the ukrainian people has not changed, on the contrary, it has strengthened, and what has changed is the relationship between great britain and ukraine, because now, unlike the situation 20 years ago, we have such powerful ties, between our countries, and i think that yes... there is a very good perspective for the development of our relations in the future. what changes have you seen, 20 years ago and now? now

there are a lot of good restaurants in kyiv, there are great opportunities for the development of our relations, now there are also many ukrainians in great britain and many british people who now... know ukraine personally, and also, i think that this is a very good foundation, a base for our relations. i know that last week you had a meeting with volodymyr zelenskyi, what did you say to him during the audience, what was your conversation about? yes, it was a ceremony in hand, and i congratulated the president on the initiative to hold this ceremony on the territory. saint sophia, where the great princes received ambassadors, and this testifies to the ancient

history of ukraine, and of course he highly valued relations with great britain, and we discussed our plans for the development of our relationship. and what are your priorities now in your work as an ambassador, what are the things you plan to do first, my priority is to support the victory of ukraine, because it is extremely important for the security of ukraine and for the security of great britain and for the security of europe, as a whole, now we will focus all our efforts to help the zdsu and the ukrainian people. thank you, and let's move on to the military issue block, but first of all, please tell us if you can give us an update on the training

of the ukrainian military in the united kingdom, including pilots, and how many military personnel have already been trained and how many pilots have been trained separately? yes, yes, pilot training started, uh, the first pilots arrived in the uk a month ago, so it's in progress now. and this is against the backdrop of a very large training program for the ukrainian military in the uk, and before the full-scale invasion we had a very strong program, i think over 20,000, soldiers were in the operation orbital program before the full-scale invasion, and now it is more, then by the end of the following year, we plan to complete the training course for

more than 30,000 ukrainian soldiers, but i myself visited. training in the uk before the post here and it was very interesting for me because i talked to people there and they said they are learning a lot and these are british soldiers, they said yeah because they got such a very useful experience from the ukrainian soldiers, and i think it shows that now... we have a very strong partnership between our military. and is that 30,000 inclusive of pilots or separate? i think that it is inclusive, that, but there are different ones, we now organize training for different specialists. and will these trainings continue even after

the end of this year? yes, yes, of course, we are already organizing our plans for next year. as you know, ukraine is asking its western partners for long-range long-range missiles. in your opinion, why do you, why germany or the usa still hesitate to transfer long-range missiles to ukraine. well, i think it's in process, and i, i can see a certain trend, that great britain is a leader. and our partners, they followed us, the uk, it was the first european country to supply new generation anti-tank missiles, which were very important, after a full-scale thrust, we were also the first to supply battle tanks, the

challengenger 2, er, and our partners now and also they posted, supplied battle tanks, and also, we were the first to supply cruise missiles, a long time ago, er, and the ukrainian military, they demonstrated that they can very effectively to use this technique, and now we are actively convincing our partners of the need to supply weapons to ukraine. and we thank you very much for the storm shadow missiles. our military actively uses them, is it planned to transfer another batch, if so, when? i cannot comment in detail about the supply

of weapons, but, as i said, i think that the ukrainian military effectively used the equipment that they received. and one last question, regarding stormshadow, ukraine now uses foreign equipment, in particular cruise missiles in order to hit targets in crimea. how does britain feel about the fact that ukraine is using, or will use, the same storm shadow for attacks on the peninsula, or on the black sea fleet of russia, which are also located on the territory of crimea. except. ukraine, russia has no right to be on the peninsula, and ukraine has every right to oppose russian troops on its own territory. thanks, now let's move on to the recovery questions block, it's going to be a few questions, and here's the first one, about the recovery conference

of ukraine, which was held in london in the summer, what were the results of this conference? and i myself was at the conference, and there they announced more than 60 billion dollars of aid for ukraine, but also there were a lot of british and international international businessmen, and i saw with my own eyes the enthusiasm of british companies to be involved in ukraine and that is why that they determine that this will be a very big opportunity for investment, but also because they want to help ukraine, so it was a very important moment to give
