russian aggression took ukrainian lives long before russia came with the war, so let's all honor, all those ukrainians whom russia destroyed for centuries, now honor with a moment of silence. let's observe a moment of silence in memory of ukrainian soldiers and peaceful citizens of ukraine who died in the war started by russia.

greetings to all viewers, this is svoboda ranok, my name is kateryna nekrecha, and in this stream we talk about the following topics: the shelling of avdiyivka and its surroundings continues. although the intensity of the fire has decreased. evacuate people who remain it is difficult in the city - says the head of the city's military administration vitaliy barabash. analysts at the institute for the study of war noted that putin has already changed his rhetoric regarding the offensive on avdiivka and is reducing expectations. what is the situation in this direction, we are talking with the military. while israel is preparing for a ground operation in the gas sector, two evacuation flights with ukrainian citizens have already departed from israel. meanwhile, the evacuation of ukrainians from the gas strip

is interrupted, israel postponed the evacuation permit two hours before it began. what ways are included in ukrainians for salvation, let's discuss. parliamentary elections were held in poland. according to preliminary estimates, the pro-government law and justice party is in the lead, but the majority in parliament, according to exit polls, has a chance to form the opposition. how can the political situation in poland change, will these changes affect relations with ukraine. what's going on. in ukraine, what is the situation at the front, every weekday morning from 9:00 we talk about important events and statements, subscribe to the radio liberty channel so as not to miss important broadcasts. tonight the russian army attacked ukrainian cities with ballistic weapons, missiles and drones from various directions. the air force command of the armed forces of ukraine said that the russian army used one iskander m ballistic missile and five guided air missiles. kh-59 and 12

strike drones of the shachet type. rockets attacked the east and north of ukraine. drones were also directed in the western region. air defense destroyed two kh-59 missiles and 11 drones. 1,618 people still remain in avdiivka, in donetsk region. about this was announced by the head of the city's military administration vitaliy barabash on the air of the telethon. also, according to him, the intensity of shelling. and assaults by the russian forces has somewhat decreased, because the russian troops, they say, are running out of steam. however, he adds, shelling of the city still takes place around the clock. the economist publication the day before noted that the battle for avdiivka will harm the further counteroffensive of the armed forces of ukraine in the south. for example, the assault actions of the russian forces, which lasted for about a week, became the greatest activation of the russian forces offensive efforts after the end of the winter campaign. the purpose of this army offensive. there is an attempt

to create a cauldron around the military armed forces of ukraine and resume a strategic offensive. the battle for the city will continue for some time and will be extremely hellish - writes the economist. but analysts of the american institute for the study of war write in one of their latest reports that russian experts and putin himself have allegedly changed their rhetoric regarding the offensive on avdiivka and are reducing expectations for progress. i will note that under the audio language russian... activated on october 10, the positions of the armed forces of ukraine and the city itself were attacked by a large number of tanks and other armored vehicles with the support of aviation and artillery. at that time , analysts of the american institute for the study of war noted that in this way the russian army wants to draw the forces of the armed forces of ukraine to the avdiyiv direction in order to stop their advance in southern ukraine. the commander of the bopla platoon of the 59th separate motorized infantry

named after yakov handyuk, andriy serhan, joins our broadcast, i congratulate you, mr. andriy, thank you for joining, i want to ask you about this, chief city ​​administration, avdiyivka says that. on the sixth day after the offensive of the russian forces, i will quote him, the degree of sleep was not much, but it was noticeable, but how can you describe the situation today, do you feel the same at the positions of the military as the degree of sleep of the offensive of the russian forces, or are the feelings completely different? in any case, this is a temporary phenomenon, in any case, they will move away from us as a wave from lana, and then this wave can cover us again, so... we are preparing for the fact that there will be assault actions again, quite strong, quite powerful, we are preparing people, a special composition, equipment and everything else , in order to meet our enemy with dignity, tell us with what and by whom the russian forces are attacking avdiivka, is it possible to summarize now from

october 10 and from the beginning, when they became more active, what forces did they throw at this offensive, at the moment one of the brigades has already run out of them, now another has entered, these are regular russian troops, so, in principle, we expect a new, well, let's say, a new, quite powerful wave, but in that it's time, let's get ready in order to give a decent rebuff, mr. andriy, and with those with the scale with which the russian forces went on the offensive, and their goal was actually to surround the city, in your opinion? their goal, i will never get tired of repeating it, is the complete destruction of ukraine and the ukrainian people, so it makes no sense to talk about one city, because in fact their goal is to reach the dnipro, then reach the borders of ukraine and completely seize our state, and expect them to anything other than assault actions and an attack on our territories does not make sense, that is, it is necessary

just don't stop and prepare, it is necessary for our people in the rear to prepare and transfer the economy and everything to military rails, because at the moment... there are not enough of those drones, not enough of those means, not enough of those methods so as not to lose people , precisely, the best option, to fight from afar, to fight with missiles, to fight with air-guided bombs, to fight with drones and not lose people, at the moment, unfortunately, we are losing people because we lack those means, methods of war, modern war. mr. andrew, can you explain what you can tell how did you manage to contain this offensive of russian forces on avdiivka, because your military colleagues say that there has never been such an offensive on avdiivka, such a powerful one, how did you manage to contain it? just those guys who sit in the trenches and are ordinary, let’s say, privates, those who are ordinary there, and grandfathers and there and all the subordinates,

who are not lazy, well, they keep this direction, plus, good quality command, that’s all, if there are successful commanders. i mean smart teams that don't rush people and value personnel and force people to dig in and fortify and hold the defense, well, you can hold back any enemy, the question is that this has only now drawn attention to the audience of the last four or five days, but the war is already going on not one year and not already the 10th year, already now, if we take another four months and it will be two years. of a full-scale invasion and every day there are guys sitting in these trenches who look, let's say, in the direction of the enemy and hold him back, now there is just a little more equipment, a little more people, but at the same time

time, they restrained this direction for a whole year, for them avdiyivka is a mecca, for them, donbas and donetsk are what their propaganda is built on, so they expect that they will withdraw from donbas , withdraw from is it not worth expecting that the russian forces will abandon their plans, surround and capture the city? no, no, no, that's why we need people, we need bulls and we need equipment, we need drones, then all this will be much easier and there will be fewer losses, the faster our foreign partners will be divided, the faster our politicians and the same logistics and everything else, the less. we will have losses, every minute can be a loss of our personnel, so eh, we need to speed up these processes , plus, the main goal should be the fight against corruption, because in fact, if you steal from the army, it is in fact murder, mass

murder, and the father of the article should be equated, stole in the army, equated to mass murder, because if you stole a couple of maviks in the army, in this period of time, in the absence of these? maviks, boys died, and therefore corruption now has to be simply equated with the mass murder of military personnel. mr. andriy, i also wanted to ask you about the following information about the methods used by the russian forces, because the head of the office wrote on october 13 that the russian military uses phosphorus during offensive operations in the avdiyivka district president andriy yarmak, can you confirm this information, if yarmak noted, then it was, what i can say, it was like this, and phosphorus was used and what you said earlier, that the local residents before still not evacuated from there, and then they will already be occupied, god forbid, we will lose avdiivka, and immediately in that year they adopted a law on the mass evacuation

of the population, if necessary, why this has not been done until now, i honestly do not know , but at the same time there are many old people left there, many of those people who cannot leave by themselves, they need to be provided with this help, or we already accept that we refuse them and they will be in yakupol territories, if god forbid we we will lose the audio player, to be honest, as well as this demotivates, because the way the state, let's say, looks at this issue, well, how many are 1500, you said, 10700, well, let it be , well, somehow, what are we fighting for then, well, we periodically talk about evacuation and about the obligation mandatory evacuation for people, there can also be quite a variety of reasons, from the fact that there is nowhere to go, to the fact that they want to stay in their hometown, where their parents and grandmothers are buried there, that is, the motivation of people is really different, but for now we have information from the local authorities that it is already difficult

to evacuate people, so of course we will monitor this situation, mr. andriy, thank you for joining, andriy sirgan , commander of the bpp platoon of the 59th separate motorized infantry brigade named after yakov hantsyuk, armed forces of ukraine, joined our broadcast, thank you, we continue our broadcast, this is svoboda morning, you can comment on what you saw and heard on our broadcast broadcast on the radio liberty channel. and further. to the news in the kherson region. russian troops again intensified the shelling of kherson and the region. explosions in the regional center echoed throughout the previous day. in particular, the city was bombarded with guided aerial bombs. two of them were dropped in the morning next to a critical infrastructure facility. as a result, electricity and water supply were cut off in some areas, and there was no internet and communications deteriorated throughout kherson. this was reported by the head of the kherson city military administration, roman mruchko. during the same. the vestibule and windows of the kherson-kyiv train were damaged by an explosive wave. however, the train

left on schedule, ukrzaliznytsia reported. later, during the shift shelling damaged power lines and private houses. the authorities asked the citizens to stock up on food and water. in general, over the course of sunday, the official authorities of kherson reported six times about explosions in the city and its shelling. the settlements of the kherson region also suffered from shelling by the russian army, only in the village of zolota balka on the right bank. dnipro counted 28 arrivals. a private residential building was hit, an outbuilding and a kindergarten were damaged. this was reported in the kherson regional military administration. apart from moreover, falling debris damaged private houses in one of the villages of the visokopil community, so they say in ova. we will talk in detail about what is happening today in kherson and the region. oleksandr telokonnikov, spokesman of the kherson regional military administration, joined our broadcast. i congratulate you, mr. oleksandr. good early. thanks as always for joining. what is the current situation in kherson oblast, how did the night pass?

well, thank god, more or less quiet, there were also explosions, but there are no reports of destruction anywhere, although again in the morning, the russians carried out an airstrike in the kherson region, and again in the berislavsky district, there were eight. guided aerial bombs were dropped on mykolayivka, two in total, 10 in total, as for the previous day, 17 aerial bombs were counted that were dropped on kherson region, including the two that you have already said, regarding the shelling of the railway station there, then the artillery was firing there, also already in the afternoon, two more guided bombs were dropped in the coastal areas... in the antonivka district, there is also one, one guided aerial bomb fell in the field and was almost there around 10 o'clock

in the evening, two air bombs were dropped on mykilskyi, there is destruction, but fortunately there were no casualties, in the past day, there were six air strikes, exactly all 17 air bombs they dropped, and in addition, 50,012 air bombs were counted, including these air bombs of various types weapons with which they shelled kherson oblast. and that's almost 100 shellings, now it's more or less quiet, now it's raining a lot, in kherson and the region, and i think that this prevents them from shelling, let's hope that the weather will help us and keep us safe. mr. oleksandr, that is, weather conditions, they can, relatively speaking, contribute to the fact that there will be less shelling from the russian side,

and in general, what does the intensity depend on? well, we see, there is a tendency that when it is very cloudy, of course, drones fly over, they cannot adjust the artillery, and of course they also do not want to go out and fire in the mud, in the rain, in the mud, that is why such there are moments of respite, but this is certainly not a guarantee that they will not fire anyway, and what is the current situation with the city authorities called to stockpile a few days, and what is it related to, is it related to the aftermath of yesterday 's shelling, is it related to what russia may do in the future, what can you recommend to people? well, knowing that, we visited people more than once, well, we just visited

a few there, well, just to people, here in kherson and everyone, almost everyone is big. stockpile, there is canned food, because people receive humanitarian aid, despite the fact that they also receive payments, people have a stockpile, of course, they also put it in the water, because they were worried here more than once, and when the release was, when the russians blew everything up, nothing happened, and people understand how to behave, of course , it is better to leave, at least for a while until this very active phase subsides, when we push them away to a place where they do not bring out artillery, but those the people who stay, they stock up and understand what may await them as a result of the fact that if the electricity fails, or there is a water supply, because electricity

is also a water supply, but people stay, and now there is an electrician. connected throughout the city of kherson, and there may be switching from the line there on the line and for some time there will be no light in some district, but yesterday significant courageous energy workers from various regions, including kherson-oblenergo and various regions , immediately leave almost together with the rescuers who leave for these shellings, in order to to fix and get people there as soon as possible, if it can be restored. mr. oleksandr, the head of kherson ov once again called on people with children to leave the region, and in fact there is also an expanded list of settlements for mandatory evacuation of families with children, this from stanislav shiroka balka and oleksandrivka. what is the situation now, why,

maybe talk about it again, but you recommend people with children to evacuate. and on the other hand, is there a place to go and a way to get there for people who don't have the money to leave on their own? yes, i will start with the last one, there is, you just need to call 0800-10102 hotline of the khryson regional military administration , we will pick you up, pick you up from the house, help you with your things there, bring you to kherson and further, either by motor vehicle or railway transport, railway to go to the area that we offer, including kirovohrad, cherpkat, kyiv, odessa, mykolaiv, kryvyi rih, that is, there are options where to go, if there is someone to stay there, people stay, if not, our volunteers look for free housing,

there in populated areas, he also provides assistance. upon arrival, the state provides assistance, such as payments every month, international organizations also help with payments, that is, free of charge, all these logistics are free, you just have to call, as to why, well, we can see for ourselves how it is the same stanislav, which was recently added to this list of 34 settlements, was simply demolished in the last two days: from the pouring of the earth and a lot of damaged houses were shelled with phosphorous ammunition, well , the situation here is very bad and this can happen at any time what a point for us, and even more so if there are children there, but despite that, we continue to work and there are indeed many people who have volunteered to evacuate, and

we already have such a first victory in 18 settlements of these without dangerous settlements on the coast, without children, there children live there, another 24 children also live in... on september 15, 372 children and their families were evacuated, but there are still almost 1,600 left. i thank you, mr. oleksandr, for joining in and telling me about what is happening in the kherson region today. oleksandr teleknikov, spokesman of the kherson regional military administration, was a guest of svoboda ranok. and then we will talk about the blackout in response, such as the shelling of the electric substation in the village of krasnaya yaruga in the belgorod region. russia was characterized by ukrainian media sources in the sbu. edition public ukrainian pravda , citing its own sources, reported in the security service of ukraine that

the krasna yaduga electrical substation, in particular, was connected to russian military facilities. ukrainian media are publishing a video provided to them by sources, it shows how explosive devices fall from a drone and then an explosion. a source in the ssbu says that this is allegedly a response to numerous shellings. energy infrastructure of ukraine. the day before, the russian ministry of defense confirmed the drone attack on the bilhora region. there stated that 27 drones attacked russia on sunday night. two drones were allegedly shot down over bilhorsk region, and 18 drones over kursk region. the governor of the bilhora region , vyacheslav glatkov , reported in his telegram that the electricity supply in the village was disrupted as a result of the attack. it has been partially restored, but work continues. we cannot independently verify this information. in the conditions of war, however, such information is reported in the ukrainian media from sources in the sbu. ihor romanenko, military expert,

lieutenant general, joined our broadcast. greetings, mr. igor, greetings, i want to ask you about these blackouts in russia, whether it is worth waiting for blackouts this winter in russia at all, are there such opportunities... in ukraine , it is more possible to inflict such blows on others regions of russia in order, well, in order to deprive , as we can see as a result of what the sbu said , the possibility of power supply from specifically to military facilities, russian, well, i cannot say that these will be complete blackouts and goal on the part of ukraine, which adheres to international... legislation, introduction of the rules of the introduction of war is to cause damage, first of all, to a military object, you

just gave information in your iter, because this energy means russian, they supply military objects, and this is fundamental, from this point of view the possibility of strikes by the defense forces of ukraine is increasing, the number of strike drones, barrage munitions, so-called kamikazes is increasing, and i think that in the near future we will see that these strikes are increasing, the territory is spreading, and first of all it will concern the objects of the military-industrial complex of the russian federation, as well as military objects, the capacities in this regard are increasing in ukraine. and to what extent are these objects easy prey for ukrainian forces, are they protected? they are protected, but the question

is to what extent, that is, a large territory in the russian federation, and they take care of anti-hail, anti-missile defense, first of all, the western part, but there is not enough strength for this, since the most resources are concentrated. in the territories of the introduction of combatants, their groups, in ukraine, and therefore, throughout, it is impossible to solve this issue, of any state, and the task is to concentrate on more important ones, therefore, whatever system the russians build, always professionally, if you approach, you can find ways to overcome them. what is happening, we see it now, i think we will see in the future as well, how much these strikes, they harm the military power

of russia, let's say, and how many of them should there be in order for it to really affect the russian military power, there should be thousands, tens of thousands, we are gradually gaining momentum on this occasion, 40 billion hryvnias have been allocated for this purpose by the government, and official obstacles are being removed in order to produce, the appropriate transformation is taking place. but it is also clear that there is not enough of this kind of means, well, let's have hope and provide help to our defense forces, so that they increase, and actions to strike from the defense forces of ukraine become more, both with strike drones and missile systems, as well as appropriate subversive actions from...

special structures of the defense forces of ukraine. president zelenskyi emphasized that the russian strikes there will be more troops on ukrainian energy facilities with the approach of winter, and called on the local authorities, energy companies, and communication operators to prepare for this. how much of a priority do you think for russia today to strike ukraine's strategic infrastructure? well, these plans were already last year, we see that they are not on the part of the enemy, and the better, the more powerfully we prepare for this kind of action, the more likely it is that we will get up and once again disrupt the plans for this year in this regard, so issues of anti-aircraft anti-missile defense our military and political leadership is engaged in, the allies understand the importance of these actions, and therefore provide us with such means, certainly not in

the light... which we would like, therefore new methods are found, this can be attributed, including the provision of means of anti-flood defense with on the part of our allies for the winter period, well, this is something to understand close to leasing, but not quite this, let’s say this is new, in relations between states, in the military sphere, when understanding the importance of air defense, the allies... at the meeting temporarily transfer such means to us, this is one direction, in addition, we produce our own means of anti-pollution defense, and here a new direction has appeared in this, together with the allies of these companies to improve modern modernize our means, this includes, for example, modernization

such anti-aircraft missile systems as in soviet times, which are still available to the armed forces of ukraine, such as buk, as kub, in order to be able to use foreign missiles, that is, buk are spargo missiles, and in cuba they are rockets, which, well, let's say , even old terms of production, but they would be very useful for us, the application, because for our soviet anti-aircraft missile complex , which produces a limited number of missiles, that is why this innovation, which is being implemented, well, the developers, in some countries it was done before, but there was not much demand, but now this is relevant for the defense forces of ukraine, and together with our allies we are working on new developments, and this also strengthens our means, in addition,

territorial communities must work together with the territorial forces on the ground, which performs the tasks of anti-flood defense, with units leadership of the air force, and jointly assist them in order to strengthen our air defense, both from the point of view of increasing the effectiveness of means of destruction, means of air attack of the enemy, and passively, as countermeasures, that is, masking all kinds of objects located on the territories of these territorial hromad, mr. igor, i want to ask you about the situation around avdiyivka, at the institute for the study of war, analysts say that russian offensive attempts near avdiyivka have slowed down somewhat, that the occupiers have suffered numerous losses, soldiers and equipment. on your opinion, russia will continue to try to seize the city, because the same analysts at the institute for the study of war say that what putin allegedly has, they publicly want to reduce expectations from this.
