[000:00:00;00] raised his hands, laid down on the floor, laid down on the floor, who else is in the house, you alone, no, wife and child, crawl here, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, a former police officer, yes, how many did you work for the russians? a month, what pushed you to work for them, i was forced, i was worried about my family, now you will get dressed, you will go with us, yes , who is a collaborator anyway, and where is the line between a collaborator and a non-collaborator, there is a common wording, what is a collaborator, a collaborator is a person who consciously, voluntarily left cooperation with the enemy, or takes part in the occupation or military administration , someone says i had no other choice,

someone says i did it under a machine gun, someone says i needed to feed my family, and someone says, well, so what , i was waiting for the russians, i was with them, i was on my way, excuse me, but can i ask you a few questions , they came to you because you worked with the russians, so why did you start working with the russians, the soldiers approached me, and then so yes, or you will be under our scrutiny, you will be on us to do, either, or, well, either the khan, or maybe he didn't pass it on, maybe, if there are threats of physical destruction, blackmail, then a person can be released from criminal responsibility if there is objective evidence that he did it exactly under this kind of coercion, under the barrel of a machine gun, under the threat of destroying families, children, you don’t ask, the air force pounded all night, their air force yes, their air force, six events, and you yourself are not

afraid of whom, arrivals, now at all in this that is, it can fly in anytime, anywhere whatever, they are also aiming here , for communication, let's go, let's see what, by the way, some raids continue, it can be seen that the outskirts of the city are also being shelled, and smoke is visible. the window was banging, congratulations, what’s your name, good day, sasha, and you bohdan, bohdan, sasha , you spent the entire time of the occupation here, the whole, as you say, but there was not much pleasant, but it was all with one focus, all in one day, all one big poop, since february 24, and so, roughly speaking, until this moment, thank god, they survived,

i will tell you, thank god, it was already shorter, in a word, it was a real horror, many, many of our residents, a lot of them and lost thanks to them, a lot of lost, in short, they left the most negative impression on the de-occupied territories of kharkiv oblast, what impressed you the most, people, our people, ukrainian, those , those who remained, those who survived the occupation, children. i'm probably already a military man, but straight in my mind, and i don't really understand how, like them, how to survive the occupation, but how a civilian survives the occupation, i don't understand, it's probably scarier than death, when we entered balakliyu, i understood what occupation is, that it's not just a word, and it's not just the presence

of russian soldiers, it's about occupation - it's a whole process, the ultimate goal of which is joining the russian federation, do you want to ask how this process takes place? all the districts they entered were initially created by military administrations, these are military commanderies. yes, they had a headquarters and a torture chamber here, everything was together here. this is where they slept, cautiously, there can be no stretch marks, from the body armor, oh, the military police, this is what, this is this, this is on, on the mitten, the military police in russia, please again

it was hot. they felt so normal here, i see, yes, they felt quite good here, they decided to print a photo of their wife, probably. and yes, they slept here, that’s clear, let’s move on, in general, it was the editorial office of the newspaper, news of balaklishchyna, our colleagues were based here once, journalists, the national guard entered to establish control over cities, towns and settlements, this is a standard tactic for russians, units of the armed forces entered in all directions, immediately behind them, or even once... with them units of the guards, 5 september, monday, it’s 98 days that they have been here, judging by the fact that we found the military police, this is where the command was located, this is where

the most terrible things happened, i think, people were arrested, that is, local collaborators turned in those with a pro-ukrainian position, took them here and people did not return, and everyone tells me that this is a torture chamber, a torture chamber, a torture chamber, the locals knew about it, and their hands tremble when they hear about it, which category of people, according to the russians, is the greatest... threat, accordingly, these are ukrainian public organizations, different ones existed, educators who had been working with the ukrainian language and ukrainian history for a long time, these are military personnel, these are former participants of the anti-terrorist operation, these are former law enforcement officers who did not have time to leave and all of this at once, the first ones who

ended up in the basements, this expression for the basement, we he was heard for the first time in the 14th year, so why the basement, because the vast majority use exactly the basement, semi-basement rooms for such people , they are isolated there without light, without sewage, without anything, this is where the cameras themselves were directly located, people were detained in such cells, the maximum i heard was that people were kept here for about five months, but in such cells

, up to 20 people could be held, so yes, these cells could be armor in a word, i think so, yes, it is armor, banking, yes, see what is written here? so by the smell you can feel that it is urine , that is, people had to live here and defecate right there , this is armored glass, everything is blocked by boxes from shells, but by the smell, this is where all the tortures of drinking took place right here in this room. there is such a tape, a ta-57 telephone, there there is a coil that produces current, two wires to the male genitals, and they turn this coil, and further there behind this partition, so that people

cannot communicate with each other and no one can see who is sitting where, here are boxes, and here too more cameras, but it’s possible, yes, no, it’s difficult, it’s just a matter of actually opening the toilet there, and where did they get these cameras, they brought them with them, and let’s mark them, let’s see, ah, something there, something there, it’s our glass, well , maybe they took it from the bank, banks were broken here, robbed, the bucket is the same as and there, horror, yes, the bucket is full, and urine, yes, yes, and this is how people lived, yes, what is the purpose, they are afraid of ukrainians, they are afraid. putin is afraid of him, let's be honest, stalin was afraid of him, and to break this resistance, they decided to use brutality, well, here, as long as they were not mocked , condoms were put on rubber batons there , men were mocked, ears were cut off,

teeth were knocked out, and the bigger a person, how can i tell you, not of slavic appearance, the more, the abuse was so, well, bloody, but who usually is? what service tortures ukrainians russian, fsb, military, ordinary, isn't this what russians are specially trained for, that's how they went through it all, they went through it in chechnya, they all went through it. they know all this, what is effective, what works, how to break people, unfortunately, they know how to do it, the guys who were sitting here told me that the fesbeshniks had this, one of their favorite things was sawing teeth with a file, well, needles under the nails, well very, very, very many kinds of torture , such that, well, people told me when it was, well, how people left the village,

psychologically, that, they could just kill right away, why are they tortured, broken, broken, it’s easier to kill, they killed, well, then, and when a person came out broken physically and morally, and when under such pressure he changes his thoughts, begins to support russian narratives, yes, that is, this impression is quite a reality for those around him, everyone knew him as a patriot, everyone knew him as steadfast, but here people were mocking him like this. that even it was hacked, yes, i will tell you, it is, well, effective, unfortunately, effective, and it was shown to everyone, look what will happen to you, then god forbid there will support ukraine, or god forbid, there someone somewhere will speak ukrainian, or god forbid, who will tell me that now our people will come and everything will be here for you, it is immediately a basement, it is immediately torture and everyone knows it, well, there are people who, unfortunately, did not return from this place , i have a friend here, he was questioned to death, shilikhan, a local lawyer, a lawyer, we hunted together

, went fishing, he is one of the people who had a pro-kurin position, indeed, pro-ukrainian and what they did to liberate the city, they detained him, his mother, his my own brother, my brother was tortured, my mother was kept here for three days, oh well and the second was tortured to death, for which the neighbor said that he was helping the ukrainian army. here he was found already dead, and his brother was sitting in a cell behind this wall, and they told him to take it and go, he took him on himself and shadowed him in the cemetery, we saw a lot in the de-occupied territories of russian newspapers and magazines there, if you read these newspapers, it's just that it's hard to believe what they write there, komsomolskaya pravda, the most interesting thing, on the first page, ukraine

promises contrana. on august 9 , they wrote something a month ago, i wonder what they wrote? they will attack kherson no matter how they attack gravle, they write, we will take kherson, we will take 100% and then crimea. the whole newspaper is about the war, that is, propaganda is working with all its might, this press was brought in en masse, there were very, very, very many of them, i must state this, unfortunately, they were moving in an organized manner in this, how to reconfigure the local population as much as possible to their side, the internet is our turned on, the television works exclusively in russian, the newspapers exclusively in russian, people usually enter such, you know, an information vacuum from our on the one hand, they do not have reliable information, because

there was simply no other information physically, tell me how much time it takes for a person to reshape his vision and thinking, from my own experience , two weeks are enough, two weeks, a person will be everything they say, to accept as reliable information, the substitution of reality, and it usually starts everywhere, it is already statistics, with the change of history, they begin to artificially invent a new history for the regions, telling that their... history does not exist, it is incorrect, that it is all historical russian land, that there are no such peoples there, and in general it is better to live with russia, because russia is a big, powerful world power, all other states are some nonsense, it is not like that, it is us, kyivan rus, it all went from here, it is our ancestors and moscow they burned in their time, kievan rus, in those days, constantinople was coming , we need to reclaim our history, and it is quite glorious, so this is one of the tactics of russia,

changing history, artificially changing history, you can hear, sometimes, what they say, very the kharkiv counteroffensive was timely, because they already they were allegedly going to hold a referendum, and if they had time, they would have annexed kharkiv oblast to russia according to their legislation, it was worth fearing that, as for the possible holding of a referendum on the accession of kharkiv oblast, the occupied part of kharkiv oblast to the russian federation, what will this affect, kherson they attached, we released him. the same will happen with luhansk, donetsk, crimea, kherson oblast, zaporizhia oblast, which unfortunately are temporarily occupied, you once said that in we have sources close to putin. how did the leadership of russia react to what was happening in the kharkiv region and the pace at which it all happened. they were not ready for this, absolutely, and in principle, if

you recall, even media activity , even such outspoken propagandists like simonyan, there, i really like to cite her examples and so on, even they then fell silent and so the little ones said, so what is happening, what are we losing, they are knocking us out, they were combed, the question arose in society, and how can it be that russia was knocked out, such, let's say, a mental defeat, as in kharkiv region, they did not have anywhere , well, i think that the kharkiv counteroffensive will forever remain in history and i guarantee you that this page will not even be remembered in russian history, that's for sure i can guarantee you. a rocket flew somewhere, it didn’t explode and people are very worried, let’s go with the policeman, let’s see what kind of rocket it is and how they act in such cases, where, he is right there, in the third apartment, in an ordinary

two-story house, yes, i was shocked, he looked terrifying , scary look, yes, a tin, such a thing flew into the apartment, it broke through the ceiling and entered the floor, look, this is the kitchen, this is the kitchen table of the people, the kitchen cabinet, this is the refrigerator, that is, theoretically, people could have breakfast, lunch, dinner at that moment, and this is such a surprise, why didn't it detonate, it's just... a case, and it's just a case, yes, the case of a millimeter tornado missile, it's a missile that carried anti-personnel high-explosive mines, pfm1, these diapers are small when we're still in the air , activates the ejector charge and throws them over a very large area disperse, it is already deactivated, the smell

is very strong, this is such a dangerous russian weapon, a small butterfly, a petal. fu jam is kind of sour, but no, glue is a moment, in this area we found in a radius of 4-5 km, from this place, where the very rear part fell, the carrier of these mines, then imagine that the 5:5 perimeter is mined, i.e. it just creates a minefield, in a certain area, of course, a lot of gifts were left. the enemy carried out remote mining and covered all private houses in the surrounding area mine is a petal, a very insidious thing, like a leaf for stabilization, when it falls, it falls like this, explodes from leaning,

divination, touching it, if you touch it with your hand, the brush will tear off in any case, if you touch it with your foot, a piece of the foot tear off, maybe the whole... when a person steps, there is a special bag figuratively, two chemical compounds go, the bag breaks , reacts, there have been many cases, the grandmother says the heel has been torn off, here you can see one mine, a mine that mines remotely, just look, it would fly into the house here, he is under by the tree we see rockets, and most likely, this rocket brought hundreds of such... mines that are now scattered everywhere, in the grass, on the lawns, near the house, that is, this is how you go out into the gardens and everything, yes, from a military point of view , why was this done, i think they just wanted to replace the approaches, the main streets at the entrance to the city, the thing is that they are made in several colors, there are bright green, there is

this color, you simply will not see it in the grass , honestly, this is one of those landmines that i fear is how many more decades do we have... i i’m even afraid to imagine how many more accidents there will be, starting from specialists and ending with just children who can, without understanding what it is, actually look at it, the child will never think that it is dangerous, it is necessary to somehow inform the residents, here come the people, you're local, right? locals, yes, you know what remote mining is, no, but if you saw it in the grass, you didn't see it. here is such a thing, we saw it , yes, we had it scattered in the area, dmytro komarov, dmytro komarov, good afternoon, i am your fan, hello, what is your name, oleksandr, please tell me, do you know what it is? no, you see a rocket, i see, and there are hundreds of such mines

, and if you touch it, it tears off a heel, an arm, tell everyone, friends, an acquaintance, it is very dangerous in your city, now, be careful, thank you, it is important to warn children so that the children did not run or play in the grass now, look from afar, remember and be careful, if you want to see how it looks, we already want it, now we really want it. destruction of the detected pfm mine with the help of an electric detonator, for this we will assemble the power grid and provide its support.

yes, attention, attention, attention, fire, yes. you can even look, you can see the white marks, how is your mood in general, six months in the occupation, which is the scariest thing, well, the scariest thing was when you know that you have a military husband, and they don't know about it, but a lot who know about it and who could be ill-wishers about it. yes, there are many such people, that was the most terrible thing, that they can take you to the basement, where they kept people, that's how they lived, thank god, and waited for liberation, and we really waited, we found out that ours are already here, already near verbovka, we look, we go out, where are ours , where, when they will already be in balaklee, as soon as the tanks heard when ours were coming, we were so happy, we quickly ran out here, we saw our tank , they started waving our flag, it's such a joy. the first peaceful, full-fledged day, after six months of russian occupation, we see a ukrainian tank

, a monument to taras hryhorovych shevchenko with a ukrainian flag, and the same flag on the building, as i understand it, of the state administration, which was solemnly installed by our fighters yesterday, 8 september to be honest, it feels like you climbed a mountain, a very high one, it was joy, joy that we were the first to return such a large city in the kharkiv region, glory, when you already knew for sure that balakleia was liberated, here are your emotions , you know, such a powerful impulse of positivity and satisfaction, do you share your joys with your relatives or

do you keep such moments to yourself , our accompanying troops are a big family and we usually share them with our staff officers, well , you know that information cannot be leaked where it is not needed, well, ours relatives, they receive information in the form of information, that is, your wife was not the first to find out, no, of course, we are in the central square of the city of balaklia, here is the trophy equipment, two russian armored cars with ukrainian flags, already with the inscriptions of the zsu, how the trophy does not work, bomb, will fight for us now, but how come, i know you, i watch your videos. so, in the central square of the city of balakleia, there is trophy equipment that works and will now fight for ukraine, the de-occupation of the kharkiv region

continues, the armed forces, the national guard, the police and all the power structures are not standing still, so there is still a lot of work ahead, thanks to ukraine, we went further, while we are there filming people in the city, here they are already saying that we need to go to kupyansk, and we simply did not believe it, we left from balaklia, a very important node, which has also been liberated, and we are now going to clean it up there, there may still be russians, collaborators, that is why the election is mandatory, it is on this road, literally two days ago, that a huge column of russians went, who ran away, but further events... and this

counteroffensive will go down in history, in world history story, let's go. how is it possible to keep such a pace? you know how it is possible to hold, well, first of all, you need to feel this taste of victory, when the offensive itself began immediately, when the enemy's defense literally began to fall apart, and in two days we traveled 48 km, when we saw that the enemy was not so strong, and to beat him... and quite effectively, then this is the mood , maybe even admiration, it just gave such a message, already when they understood that they were surrounded, when they were bypassed and in their rear by units of the ukrainian army, they simply in

panic began in their ranks, they began to drop everything and run away in different directions, when they see their own people dying, it attracts them, and the reason is in them, ukraine is fear and horror for them, the territory of ukraine became a grave for them, when they did not understand that what do they do when they stand and are destroyed, destroyed, destroyed, destroyed, they completely fell apart from any shell burst, whether mortar or artillery, threw equipment, hid, ran away and left. it is clear, that is, they were picked up on this railway from russia, and he was the only one beaten up, look, they were planning something, they only attacked one side, but here it is clear that they were going to defend the city, it didn't work out

, when i looked at it, i think so, well, kupiensk is not... for us, i thought, there the defense will be more serious. and when the battalion commander reports to me on the second day that he approached shevchenkiv, it is 30 km from kupyansk, i immediately say, i did not understand where you are, give me a point, he gives me a point, i see that it is really near shevchenkiv , they went to the kupins shevchenko track, we are there we met enemy columns that were fleeing, we destroyed almost all of these columns... units escaped there, took prisoners, and on the third day of the operation i reported to the commander that we were already at the entrance to kupiensk. here is the broken equipment at the roadblock, this is already the final battle in the literal and figurative sense, it has become the final for many, it does not have time

to rest. guys, when was this battle, i don't know , the battle, but it hasn't blown up yet, quite recently, literally a day or two, but you can still see, the situation is not inflated, kupyan, it's hard, as you hear, that is, it's still going there, it's still going, yesterday, in principle, it was a bit of a day of shelter, and closer to the evening it got tied up, we reopen our exits, yes our exits, we drive them away, of course, of course, we chase, beat, and also soldiers there are russians left in the city, well, it is possible somewhere, the exits, the ukrainian artillery is working, here is the kupyansk stele with the ukrainian flag, it is painted in the tricolor, but kupyan was liberated, for the russian occupation forces, it was a key transport hub, a logistics hub , supply node, having lost kupyansk, they can no longer provide for their troops either in izyum or in many other kharkiv cities and towns, therefore the ukrainian army's actual defeat

of this point became a strategic, very important step. became a strategically important step. so, today, september 11 , 2022, we are proud to say that kupyan has once again returned to ukrainian control. glory to ukraine. and now we will go to the city and see what the situation is there. this is what the city looks like, after the recent departure russians, there are cars, repainted, chevets, a very big city, what would you call kupyansk today, given the operational situation there and the situation, shelling continues, the enemy is trying to advance, kupyansk is a small kharkiv, for the occupation authorities and for russian, it was
