a minute of silence in memory of the ukrainian military and peaceful citizens of ukraine, who died in the war that was unleashed by russia.

greetings everyone, this is svoboda ranok, my name is kateryna nekrecha, and in this stream we talk about the following topics: in dagestan, hundreds of people blocked the makhachkala airport because of an israeli flight, people who broke into the airport and onto the runway chanted anti-semitic slogans, were dispersed by the police, also reports on shelling, what is happening in magachkala now and what this surge of anti-semitism means in russia. russian troops captured new positions near. avdiivki, a quarry near the water body, this is reported by the deepstate portal. analyst of the german bild, julian roobke, believes that avdiyivka is under threat of encirclement, the width of the supply corridor for the armed forces has narrowed. what is actually happening on the avdiiv front, we ask the military. another peace summit, which was initiated by ukraine, ended in malta. china did not come to the meeting this time, although earlier their participation in the ukrainian foreign ministry was called a victory. so, are there specific steps to reach an international

diplomatic platform and why this time talked without china, we will ask the adviser to the head of the president's office daria zarivnaya. join our issue, in the comments, ask your questions, discuss important topics, and also don't forget to like and subscribe to the radio liberty channel. at least three explosions were heard in odesa, this morning, this was reported by local telegram channels, details of whether it was the work of the air force . however, no hits were recorded at the moment, instead, the ukrainian air force warned of the threat of ballistics in this region, and an air alert was declared there . we we are monitoring the situation, we will provide more details during the broadcast. if you are currently watching us from odessa, write in the comments what you know. the armed forces of ukraine believe that avdiyivka is the biggest defeat of the russian forces. the spokesman of the united press center told about this on the air of the telethon.

oleksandr shtupun of the defense forces of the tavri region. according to him, since october 10 of this year, the total losses of the russian army in donetsk region in the area of ​​responsibility of the tavria military unit amounted to almost 6,500 people. 100 tanks were completely destroyed, 200, almost 250 units of other armored vehicles. and next to that, shtopun says, russia keeps groups of up to 40,000 people in the avdiiv direction and is trying to raise reserves. losses of russian forces near avdiivka. greater than 2023, this is also stated in the latest british intelligence report. the russian ministry of defense has not reported anything about losses during the large-scale war against ukraine recently. moscow officially called the uprising the number of people killed more than a year ago. and then the minister of defense of russia serhiy shoigu said that the losses of the russian army in the war in ukraine is close to 5,937 dead, specifically, even there. that was the number. the ukrainian general staff reports. that during the full-scale

invasion of ukraine, russia lost more than 299 thousand of its soldiers, these are total losses. meanwhile, analysts of the deepstate portal report that russian forces managed to dislodge the ukrainian military from the quarry near vodyanyi, which is southwest of avdiyivka. the quarry had no tactical value, as only the southern already occupied areas can be seen from it, analysts note. in such a position, which he has been in in recent months, it is generally surprising how he managed to be kept, deep state adds. meanwhile, julian röbke, a german military columnist for bild, says that avdiyivka is under threat from the encirclement. in his analysis, it is said that the russian troops allegedly went to the railway line in the north of the city and approached the village, north, which is in the south. as a result, the width of the corridor that can be provided by the grouping of the armed forces. in

avdiivka was reduced from 9 to 7 km, and the only way is in the territory controlled by ukraine remained through the village of orlivka, in his opinion, if the russian forces really manage to take avdiivka. this would mean the end of ukraine's counteroffensive. let me remind you that on october 10, russian troops stepped up near avdiivka, 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. british intelligence says that the offensive by russian forces in the avdiiv direction is the most significant offensive operation for russia since at least january 2023 . serhii volkov, military serviceman of the armed forces joined our broadcast, sergey, i congratulate you, thank you for joining , i wish, i wish you health, the analysts of the deep state portal reported that the forces of russia managed to push the ukrainian military out of the quarry, near the water, of tactical value, they say he didn't have, as they write, if

he didn't have tactical value, why is he in russia, i can skip, such a plan that the russian troops... they use different careers, different radios, so to speak, in order to , they accumulate equipment there, in order to to hide it from fpv drones, including, uh, and they do it successfully, well, understanding certain properties there, radio and video communication, it does not always work out in our units, units of pilots, so to speak, to hit the technique is precisely in such conditional pits, i think that they use it for the same purpose , in order to hide there, but their technique

is also different there, let's say forces and means, but not only with us. there are, and there are plans and other solutions, and moreover, we are growing technologically and in the fight against so-called radio pits, and we get they are already there, i think that it is one step, the other, they don't really care how much to advance, what position to take, the main thing is to report that they have advanced at least a meter. and hang your rag there and report that here we are, we are advancing, because avdiivka is like a bone in the throat, since the 14th year, and actively, but since, well, roughly speaking, a month, she is in

the information space, in fact, they started there, since october 1, some positions have been processed, but we fought back, and they at that time gathered a powerful fist, well, with which , from the 10th, they set off for a new, well, new counterattack, yes indeed, as of now, we, well, in fact the enemy has been stopped, they have advanced a little, there are several positions there, but they are preparing again, well, that is, a lump in the throat of both russian society and the request... which telegram channels have caught up with there and so on, that here we are already in evdiivka, here we are at the factory, we are already there, we are already there, but for them, this is such a political and emotional defeat, so they will, well, not only because of this, but also because of that number, they are preparing, and we are also preparing for

the next attack, mr. serhiu, here you are they also mentioned the plant, well, the institute for the study of war reports that the russian army is preparing to attack the avdiivka coke plant, and also if you take the columnist journalist bild robka there, he writes that there is a threat to surround avdiivka, what do you say about this describe the reason, in general, how difficult the situation is, and are there really any such desires of the russian forces to go to the coke-chemical plant? well, mine are in principle, in principle. any of our viewers, when they just watch avdiivka in the deep state, well, he will understand that it is on the flanks on the semi-encirclement, in such a state, it has been there for a long time, even well, it has been there since march of april

22nd, and the russians are little by little with great losses with great forces, there is position after position, but this is for a year and a half, er, gnawed out, ah, well, that's how they get this logistics corridor, and this is their key idea, because they are in the forehead and, no matter how much they tried. they are not succeeding, they have lost a very large number of forces both from the north and from the south, and not one brigade has already been defeated there, well, regiments, at least, but brigades on the captures, therefore, of course, this plan is visible even to the average non-citizen, not to the military, and even more so to the russians, who look and ask the question, what is the problem, let's, let's, finish this plan, but we stand firm

and we understand their intentions, and our operational, tactical, strategic , and general command also understand this history , so here the question of reserves, who will quickly withdraw, bring in, the question of heavy weapons, because it is very difficult to work with the infantry, well, they are like that now tactics are worked out that there are just groups of 25-30 people, they scatter and run, well, that is, it is difficult to hunt for one person there, when it is equipment, in columns, it is convenient for our means to work on them, and they run, where they run off,

at some position that they either want to capture there, or one of their own is already there, and well, i will tell you this, for example, there is a landing there, with a length of, for example, 30, and 40 meters, and they at the beginning throw out, by landing these groups, for example, 25 people, by the end of the landing, closer to the position that they are they want to occupy, runs up, three people and after half an hour or 20 minutes the same story, that is, it is to understand their losses, but they are ready to pay this big price, our command, in fact, is worthy, protects our, well, our people, and the infantry, first of all, and also with different, let's say tricks, from such a way that our soldiers suffer less from

this terrible influx, because we are bone to bone, well, that is, well, we meet them conditionally in the same groups, and we cannot beat them back there, and it's pointless, so we use various such techniques which help, save our forces and hit the enemy as much as possible, we actively use uavs and we develop this story, different groups, organisms, everything works like an anthill, like one settled organism, brothers come to support from different units, and this is actually very motivating , the entire personnel, and we understand that we are doing and making a serious impression on the enemy, and with regard to future processes there, well, roughly speaking, the next round is being prepared. i thank you, mr. serhiy, for telling me what the general is the situation and such details, thank you, mr.

serhiy, for joining in. serhii volko , a serviceman of the armed forces of ukraine, was a guest of svoboda ranok and we talked about the situation around avdiyivka. and now about anti-aircraft defense, the united states is converting soviet-style buk anti-aircraft defense systems for ukraine to modern franken ones, so that ukraine can use the latest ones to protect its territory. missiles, the new york times writes about this in particular, and according to the publication, fren contains several options for air defense systems, and if we consider the first option, then it combining soviet buck launchers with american sispero missiles. the second option involves the use of an improvised ground installation that combines soviet-era radars with supersonic aircraft missiles site vender. and the third option is a combination of soviet equipment and air defense systems. such hybrid air defense systems should increase ukraine's defense capability and help it

use its existing military potential. all these systems, as the publication writes, have been tested at us military bases. i am i note that the forces of the russian federation may be preparing for new massive shelling of ukraine. the spokesman of the air force of the armed forces of ukraine, yuriy ignat, said this on the air of a news telethon the day before, stressing that the region. forces of ukraine are ready for this. the next guest joins our broadcast, this is oleksiy yezhak, an expert of the national institute of strategic studies, i welcome you to our broadcast. i congratulate you. i want. to start a conversation with the situation at the front from avdiivka, about the fact that the russian army is preparing to attack avdiivka coke and chemical plant, says the latest report of the institute for the study of war, and there in the review it is stated that the russian army has concentrated a significant part of its combat power around avdiyivka, in particular, it has 40,000 personnel at its disposal in this direction and is transferring

additional forces to this area, i.e. in general, how difficult is the situation with avdiiv at the moment, who did not communicate with the ukrainian military, do you think, the russian forces, they are really ready to drop everything, and the live resource is available and technical to surround this city? well it seems that yes, that operation, which was started by russia, seems to be in order to simply stop the advance of ukraine, ukraine towards mariupol, in the south, just to withdraw the forces, now it looks like they are... very serious in order to create another bahmud, this is a matter of principle, they need to take another place in order to go into the winter period, well, with such a stronger position, in fact, i don't think that the position will be strong in general, so that, after all, during this period, certain events took place in the crimea and

on the sea, and the corridors, all this reduces russia's position globally, but... so really the situation around the bypass looks dangerous, because russia's determination looks great, that is , to spend what it has, everything it has, in order to , this is the last such operation, leave it behind so that it will be in russia, before winter, the last operation is big, please tell me how you can comment on this information, analytics from the magazine. he said that if the forces of the russian federation really manage to take avdiyivka, it would mean the end of ukraine's counteroffensive. so much really depends on avdiyvka and why is there interdependence here? interdependence, in my opinion, is only in the fact that concentration is needed to break through russian fortifications, and concentration is impossible as long as

russia keeps ukrainian forces at bay with such operations as under avdiyivka, then in this sense... no, not the counteroffensive has ended, the season has ended, certain , a certain climatic season, when there were some plans, they are coming to an end, it seems, because other, different conditions are beginning, and we can say that russia succeeded in delaying the counteroffensive of ukraine the most profitable directions, such as to the sea of ​​azov and mariupol, were delayed, but this does not mean that something has fundamentally changed, it is unpleasant that the next major operation may begin after a pause in the spring, when aviation and other configurations will already be available forces, we will have to live through another such war winter, when there may be strikes, but this does not necessarily mean that the de-occupation of the ukrainian

territory has been completed, well, a certain stage, a certain stage of the war has been completed. he may be coming to an end, yes, and this round to winter, he and just like that, before winter, so to speak, in this season, russia wants to capture avdiivka, is that a priority for them, right now? it seems very likely that it is, because if there are not enough forces now and they stop, then it will mean that they may not take it anymore, because in the spring, and maybe from the beginning of the year, there will be others in ukraine. weapons, that is why they are in a hurry for political reasons, within the framework of internal politics, and for such military reasons, because the forces have already been abandoned, it is not impossible to obtain them for a long time without a fight, they are simply degrading, that's why, that's why they will try , of course, but for now, while it's still possible, if we talk

about pppo, we read to the audience in the news here, yes, what is the news, about that. that there is a lack of air defense in ukraine, it is no secret, there are not many patriots in the world who are at the top in terms of quality, but how is this conversion of buk to modern franken, with which ukraine should help, they can strengthen ukrainian air defense, and whether here in these new pppo, so to speak, and strengthened ones, is there a shortage here or there, for example, of missiles for them, as far as here ukraine can cover the sky as much as possible. it can be protected if we are talking about both peaceful cities and the front. if we talk about the closing of the sky, well, there are no countries in the world that have a completely closed sky, there are different ones. the technologies are there to cover the most, the most dangerous routes and to, well, predict those most

dangerous routes, any increase in air defense, it's useful, this program that you just mentioned, it 's been going on for, i think a year already, as certain plans are developed, therefore based on these considerations, it is possible and based on the fact that there are many... there are options for modernization and improvised use of weapons, very effective, so my personal impression is that it can be an effective weapon, that is, use, say, launchers of old russian, soviet and use new american missiles, it can be effective, and it will certainly strengthen the defense, of course, it does not close the sky as an integral part, but to close the objects and cover the troops - this is what definitely allows you to strengthen, strengthen not radically, but strengthen, but

even 10-20%, this is still 10-20% of missiles that will not reach the target, this is, well, this is an important increase. well, you see, oleksiy, the partners are helping the usa, in particular ukraine, to strengthen the ppo, but the representatives of the atesh partisan movement say that the chelyabinsk plant seems to have started manufacturing there. missiles of various types, that the enterprise there is growing rapidly, and new workshops, and the staff is increasing from 10 to 17 people, then what can we talk about here, how much can russia increase its potential in the production of missiles here and what types is it a priority for them, in your opinion? well, they need strike missiles in order to carry out another such a large strike on the ukrainian infrastructure, and the problem is that, after all, it is difficult for them to do it, they are accumulating, it is felt, they are accumulating, but hardly

is it too successful, they are successful in producing missiles, because we have not seen strikes by certain types of missiles for a long time, that is, they are accumulating and the pace is not so high, this does not mean that there will be a strike, the strikes will be weak, but this, but still, the pace of production exactly missiles, high-tech fees do not look... high, ammunition yes, they build up what is simple and reliable, and to produce new missiles without tests, and yet it is difficult for them, although it is probably an economic fact that they increase the production of defense of defense products, many people are recruited, these people work many shifts, but this does not mean that the weapons are as effective as they were before, yes, yes, this is, but it seems to me that the increase in the number of russian weapons , such an impact, it is not catastrophic for this one war

i thank you, mr. oleksii, for joining, oleksii ezhik, expert of the national institute of strategic studies, was a guest of svoboda ranok, this is svoboda ranok, my name is kateryna nekrecha, and in this stream we continue to talk about such topics. in daestan, hundreds of people blocked makhachka airport. through a flight from israel. people storming the airport and the runway, chanting anti-semitic slogans, being dispersed by the police, reports of shots being fired, what is happening in magachkal now and what this surge of anti-semitism in russia means. in malta another peace summit initiated by ukraine ended. china did not come to meet this time, although earlier their participation in the ukrainian foreign ministry was called a victory. are there concrete achievements of the international diplomatic platform and why? this time, they said without china, we asked the adviser to the head of the president's office daria zarivna, wait. what is happening in ukraine, what is the situation at the front, every weekday morning from 9:00

am we talk about important events and statements, subscribe to the radio liberty channel so as not to miss important broadcasts. holding a global summit peace at the level of heads of state can take place already this year, it was discussed by the participants of the third summit of the ukrainian peace formula. which this time took place in malta with the participation of 66 countries. in addition, the key topics of the conversation were security, nuclear, energy, and food issues. the advisers on national security and foreign policy also discussed the release of deportees and prisoners and the restoration of ukraine's territorial integrity. yes, this meeting was reported in the ukrainian office of the president. the previous two as they are called, the peace summits took place in jeddah, that in saudi arabia and in copenhagen, representatives of armenia participated for the first time this time, while no one came from china, although the head of the ministry of foreign affairs of ukraine dmytro kuleba

called the participation of china in the last meeting in jeddah a super breakthrough. russia and as in previous times does not take part in the negotiations of this format, representatives of the russian authorities criticized malta for holding the summit. our colleague, zoryana stepanenko, observed the work of the summit, she is already in touch with us and will tell all the results of this meeting. zoryan, you have a word. good morning katya, you know that the full list of countries that sent their envoys to malta is not disclosed, but the number of malta is known. received almost 70 delegations, 66, to be exact, at the level of diplomatic and security advisers from all continents, including africa, asia, latin america, which in turn is three dozen more than at the previous forum in jeddah. the office of the ukrainian president interprets this as evidence that international support for the ukrainian vision of peace is growing. among the newcomer countries, that joined these international consultations, as stated by an eu official on condition of anonymity, quoted by western

media. armenia, which recently shows a turn towards the european union, as well as mexico, but there are also those who , compared to the previous meeting held in saudi arabia, were eliminated from this table, at least this time and in this format, this is egypt, the united arab emirates and china, or its world leaders consider influential enough to persuade vladimir putin to change his plans for war against ukraine. the ministry of foreign affairs of ukraine does not know why the representative of beijing was not present this time. only the deputy head of the ministry of foreign affairs, mykola tochytsky, noted that last time in yiddish, the representative of beijing said that he would come to the next meeting, also in this context he noted that ukraine is open to dialogue with china. in malta, they really focused on the implementation of such points of the ukrainian peace formula , which has a total of 10 paragraphs, such as nuclear, food, energy security, and also thought about what to do to achieve the release

of prisoners and the return of those who were taken away by force to the territory of the russian federation, how to ensure the restoration of the territorial integrity of ukraine, and i will remind you that one of the points of this peace formula is the complete withdrawal of russian troops from the entire territory of ukraine. working groups, which included diplomats from different countries and experts, previously worked on the road maps, and in malta, behind closed doors , each point of its progress was analyzed separately. the president's office later revealed the details, hence the working group. on the restoration of territorial integrity, proposes to reform the regime without the un and limit the right of veto, as well as recognize the jurisdiction of the un international court, where there is a violation of the un charter, and as for the return of hostages, they are agreeing on the creation of such an international monitoring group so that it can collect information, as well as gain access to places of detention of these people, as well as to work out additional sanctions against russia and those involved, regarding

food security, advocated strengthening the protection of the port infrastructure of ukraine and demining sea lanes in the black sea, and regarding nuclear security, the return of control over ukraine is considered here. russia was not really invited to malta, as your colleague pointed out, and the meeting there was called counterproductive and frankly anti-russian, and thanks to these interactions in ukraine , they are trying to keep neutral countries, or at least those that declare neutrality, from converging with russia’s position, trying at the same time ... to gain as much support as possible for his vision of world peace and create a universal formula that will help resolve other conflicts as well. such a meeting they seek to hold it at the level of leaders, and there is a will for it - they said according to the results of the meeting in malta, and the bridge - the time and the agenda, and it remains to be determined, as you know, ukraine has ambitions for this global peace summit to be held by the end of this year. well, also the ukrainian minister of foreign affairs, commenting on this meeting, noted that

it destroyed two myths, the first is about the decline of attention to ukraine against the background of the events in the middle east, and the second is about the loss, as it were , of ukraine's support for the so-called of the global south. today, at the european commission's daily briefing, i will clarify, as here, what conclusions were drawn after the meeting in malta and how was the fact that the representative of china was absent? thank you, zoryana stepanenko , with such a summary of what happened in malta, and we also decided in the president's office what their impressions are, why this meeting, this summit is important, why, and whether it is important at all, how much...
