union, andriy seychuk and i will return at 10:10 a.m., and then our colleagues from the radio liberty project will pick up our airwaves. let's honor the memory of ukrainian soldiers and peaceful citizens of ukraine who died in the war started by russia with a moment of silence.

hello everyone, this is svoboda ranok, my name is kateryna nekrecha, and in this issue we are talking about the following topics: the lonely struggle of volodymyr zelensky with such a headline on the cover...' the new magazine tim, journalist simon shuster, after talking with the entourage of the ukrainian president, writes that zelsky feels angry and betrayed, but continues to believe in victory. we will talk more about the mood in the office of the ukrainian president, and whether ukraine can still count on victory in the war with russia. kherson continues to be attacked from the occupied left bank of the dnieper. russian forces targeted the city cemetery and a minibus. meanwhile , russian, russian leadership is changing.

the commander of his group of dnipro troops in the kherson direction, this is against the background of statements about the advance of the armed forces on the left bank of the dnipro. so what takes place in the south of ukraine, we speak with nataliya humenyuk. putin accused ukraine and western special services of organizing anti-semitic pogroms at the makhachkala airport. the representative of the russian ministry of foreign affairs, zakharova, says that the russian political immigrant ilya ponomav, who currently lives in ukraine, is involved. so i asked ponomarov what his role was in the pogroms in makhachkala and who was the inspiration. these protests, wait, join our release, just under this video, in the comments ask your questions, discuss important topics, listen to this broadcast and do not forget to put like the video on the radio liberty channel. nine people were injured and one person died as a result of the attack by russian forces on kherson and its suburbs, the mayor roman morochko said that the attack was carried out from the occupied territory of the kherson region. and so it was,

during the day , the city cemetery and a shuttle bus with passengers came under fire from russian forces. oleksandr prokudin, the head of the kherson regional military administration, has already announced this. settlements near kherson, beryslav, and the east of the city were also shelled electricity supply the head of ova said that the hits were in the object of critical infrastructure and the damage was significant. the light also disappeared in the settlements of novoberyslav, tomarine and shlyakhove. there are russians in the village of bilozerka. shells hit the homes of local residents and a veterinary clinic, an ambulance was also damaged, one person was injured as a result of this blow, the man was in his own yard. meanwhile, the russian military leadership changed the commander of the russian army in the kherson direction. this became known from reports russian state agency tas. but the new commander of the dnipro group of the russian army became mykhailo teplinskyi, who will replace him in this position. colonel-general oleg

makarevich, teplinsky, as reported by british intelligence. slava, i want to ask you what is happening on the left bank of the dnieper now, are the russian forces increasing their presence there, are they preparing for something, or maybe on the contrary they are going to withdraw, what is the priority of this direction for the russian forces today? it is obvious that it is not the most priority, it can be seen from the general summaries of the general staff, but he is not for...' remains unnoticed by the enemy , quite powerful forces are concentrated here, they are constantly maneuvering, they are trying to arrange their defense in the best way, because let me remind you, after the blowing up of kakhovskaya hess, they themselves harmed themselves by that they destroyed their first line of defense, which they had been building for so long, and the explosive barricades became enemies for them.

harmed themselves, and here it should be understood that our counter-battery struggle forced them to withdraw their positions quite powerfully on left bank but it is still not enough to stop the shelling of the right, in particular and the use of, for example, tactical aviation , which has recently seriously increased in the general figures of reports, on the right bank, this is an excuse for the fact that artillery can no longer reach everywhere, and the enemy is thus trying to create artificial victories for itself, destroying peaceful and civilian infrastructure, destroying the economy of the region and trying to actually destroy the settlements on the right bank in a carpet manner, explaining this precisely by stopping the defense forces,

in fact, the defense force does not stop it, we continue to achieve good results in our struggle and counter-battery and other methods of work, but this is not yet subject to coverage, precisely so that... the result is very powerful and fixed, fixed, so that it does not was such a short-lived victory. ms. natalia, there is information that mikhail teplinsky became the new commander of the dnipro group of the russian army, what do you think the change of command in this area indicates? and first of all, they generally have a lot complex, moral and ethical relations there, because a very diverse team gathered from different units from different areas of training and social level, even because there are also cadre soldiers, i.e. contract soldiers recruited in an official way, there are squads formed from former and

or simply the real zk of today, and this has a very substantial effect on the coherence of the troops, which is why the command above is not satisfied... the political, military-political leadership of the country is not satisfied with that command and demands changes again, this is not the first time in our area of ​​responsibility such powerful and loud changes, which then lead to, as suravikin said, making difficult decisions, i also want to ask you about crimea, the ministry of defense of russia commented on the explosions in occupied crimea , who were on october 30 and stated that the attack was on the facilities on the island and was carried out by eight storm shadow cruise missiles, is this true and what is the general situation in crimea, as we often hear news that there is something going on, is air defense working or something else? well, let's leave the right of the ministry of defense of russia to violently react to our combat

work, to explain something, to reveal some figures that they come up with. the general staff of ukraine does things a little differently, and our work is planned. concentrated and not subject to disclosure until it reaches the main result , today, the main result was this, the destruction of specific objects, about which he reported to the strategist of the armed forces of ukraine, and this indicates that we are destroying not only the offensive potential enemy, but also defensive, because if they will have nothing to defend themselves, it will be easier for us to destroy what they are going to attack with, figuratively speaking, therefore... we are talking about using all possible means and forces relevant to the development of the combat work planned by the military leadership, it has not yet been completed , therefore it is too early to draw conclusions. there will be something to surprise the occupants.

one more question, i will ask you about odesa, on the morning of october 30 russian forces shelled odesa, there is a version that they probably hit the local ship repair plant, but what did they hit and what are the consequences, what can... officially say? in our official message, it is clearly stated that most likely it was ballistics, and iskander mm missiles were used, at least three hits were recorded, there is indeed destruction at the ship repair plant, as well as the port infrastructure, which remains in the enemy's priorities, this is predictable target, one of the summer residences was also targeted in the vicinity, and unfortunately, these strikes also resulted in human casualties, that is, six employees of the enterprise turned to medical assistance, two in the hospital, the other four are being treated for sambuloto. i thank you

for participating, officially commenting on important events, natalya humanyuk, head of the joint coordination press center of the defense forces of ukraine, southern ukraine, was a guest of our broadcast. thank you. the minister of defense of germany, borsus pistorius, believes that the people of germany should start getting used to the idea that there is a danger of war in europe, he made such a statement on the air of the second channel. of german television, and the german government official is convinced that the conflict is in the middle east and russia's war against ukraine will have consequences in german society as well. in particular, germany must be able to defend itself, and this applies both to the bundessphere of the german armed forces and to society. according to him , the federal government has created a special fund for the bundessphere in the amount of 100 billion euros and is changing the structure. pistorius also added that in the middle east conflict, germany will do everything to prevent a further one. escalation we will talk about attitudes, particularly in german society, later. victoria

vdovichenko, program director of the security studios of the center for defense strategies joined our broadcast. i congratulate you. good morning studio, i congratulate you. do you share the opinion of the minister of defense of germany that the inhabitants of this country should begin to get used to the idea that there really is a danger of war in europe. i want to share with our tv viewers and listeners that this term, which is called in german. which was introduced on february 27 , 2022, means a historical turning point, as our a german high-ranking official, when he talks about the need to change mentally, this is the vision or understanding that war actually already exists in europe, and for german society the understanding that the approach of war is something very threatening, so gradually and taking into account the fact that in 2024, we will also have elections to the european parliament

, where german politicians will apply directly, this is, you know, a step forward in gradually preparing such election campaigns, and the fact that germany will systematically and to provide assistance to ukraine as well, there is absolutely no objection, and this is precisely what the recent meetings in ramstein, but also directly ... the statements of german high-ranking officials, because in principle the funds for financing and for increasing the capacity for action for 2023 for ukraine are a total of 5.4 billion euros, and these obligations are not being taken away by germany, and plus germany is financing, as you correctly said, the european so-called peacekeeping fund, or european pes, as it sounds in english, for that these costs be partially redirected to increase the defense capability of ukraine, and to carry out, including the increase and provision

of direct military aid, which germany, as one of the key countries for us, is currently providing and providing, and what it will be to continue will definitely be quite positive and the trend, so the message we heard from a german high-ranking official , i apologize, it is more focused on the domestic audience, on the german audience, for whom, as we know, well, this is an approach war, once again when, it was cognitively dissonant, and despite the fact that we are talking about more than a year and a half , a full-scale a occupation of yes, that is , the russian federation of ukrainian territories and absolutely a, absolutely ukrainian troops repelling them and the possibility of returning completely the territory of ukraine , and this is exactly why german officials are gradually interspersed in such messages for their internal audience, victoria, how much is the internal audience, as you say, in

germany, society, it understands all these things, and again, if we talk about other countries of the european union, we understand that germany is a certain reference point in the eu, yes, to what extent globally is there really an understanding that this is not only happening somewhere in ukraine, but that it can to spill over and further, and you know, this is a very good question, and it is like this, i would say two-layered or even three-layered, let's take germany, it is very, very quite different, and there, let me remind you, there are also so-called local elections, yes, one, one of them recently took place in bavaria, and we heard that even there a certain surveillance has already been opened, yes, by the federal intelligence service about one of the very young german, bavarian politicians, yes, and german society, on the one hand, does not fully or not completely understand, but why you can't advance there until now. it's more, why aren't there more such messages about ukraine, really, i

'll tell you that not only in the federal republic, germany, in the italian republic, the french republic, even in the kingdom of belgium, i even saw it in denmark, and what is less, now the mass media are oriented towards talking and explaining what is happening in ukraine, respectively, and what is happening is that the overlapping of the conflict in the middle east, which has dominated or dominated the entire mass media market, does not provide internal opportunities , as i call the audience, that is, the european communities, the countries i have named and other countries, also for a correct understanding of what their governments are actually doing, because here it is one track, and the second track is what the governments actually support in the european union and in the future that ukraine defended itself, provided, received funding and also provided military aid to ukraine, but it disappeared from the newspaper column, and this is very important , in particular now before the conclusion of the european

commission, which will be in a week, as we know, on november 8, it will be made public. in order to show how much ukraine is reforming, even on the way to joining the european union, so, that is, there are such very, very interesting two-layered components, firstly, that governments continue to support, and secondly, because the conflict in the middle east has taken over the mass media market, there is not enough explanation for the public about what their governments and politicians are actually doing directly, and this is very important for us to understand because when we communicate with our european partners, their society does not fully know that information , which is known to us and visible to us from our mass media sources. victoria , now everyone is discussing the article in time, where they write that zelensky is angry with his partners, and there is also information that european politicians intend to implement a tour of the usa to strengthen support for ukraine, to call for this, in your opinion, what will help to strengthen support for ukraine, such

a tour for example, and why did it decrease in general, well, that’s exactly why it decreased, we already explained in the previous comments, and that european politicians want to carry out advocacy, we absolutely support as a center for defense strategies , which is also preparing advocacy visits to washington, because communication with both congressmen and senators of both parties, communication with what is called opinion makers, with expert circles, from massmedia, they are from ukrainian experts and european partners very... will help us first of all to do exactly what we call a cognitive historical turning point for the united states, seen in the context of understanding ukraine. why i say cognitive, because actually, right now in the mass media in the united states, directly, which we did not mention, but it is very important to talk, and in the context,

including what was written in the times article, about which again is not up to... insufficient clarification, the insufficient presence of ukrainian experts in the media, including the american ones, but i say once again, it is not only the american media, but also the european media, which directly indicates that information about the efforts of their governments, including politicians, reaches society , does not reach, that is, it is not available, and which suggests that the mass media market is a little bit diverting their attention, in some societies, in some it is very diverting their attention not in our favor, so i very much, as an expert of the center of defense strategies, welcome yes, let's say, the call of european politicians to do such advocacy tours, as well as expert circles, our ukrainians are ready to support, and in fact, we will do everything from our efforts so that once again, american and other european countries,

american, i'm sorry , the united states of america and other european countries received enough. the number of expert our analytical round tables, meetings, clarifications, joint will definitely not be such, thank you for joining and sharing your thoughts, viktoriya vdovichenko, program director from of the security studies of the center of defense strategies, svoboda ranok was a guest. mobilization , corruption, freezing of the conflict and a world tired of the war in ukraine, one of the most influential american magazines came out again with a cover featuring ukrainian president zelensky. this. the material immediately caused a stir, because it contains a lot about the current stage of russia's war against ukraine, how ukrainian partners are currently reacting to it, and what the ukrainian president himself thinks about the war. the author of this text has even been accused of cooperation with the russian side and aiding russia in the war, my colleague oleg galiv has read this material and will now tell the main thing. oleg, you have a word. hello

katya, greetings to our viewers. i would like to start right away with the fact that the quotes from the material are very timely. quickly spread throughout the russian public. the russian side can use statements from this text to its advantage, because in general the material is very unfavorable and pessimistic for the ukrainian side. well, for example, about the fact that ukraine lacks people, or to use all the weapons that the west will provide, or the fact that some ukrainian soldiers allegedly refuse to go on the offensive, even on direct orders from zelskyi's office, as time reports. now you are seeing the cover of time, on which ukrainian president zelenskyy speaks not for the first time. title. no one believes in victory, like me, who should convey the ukrainian president's belief in victory, a small photo of zelsky, who stands half-side by himself, on a dark background and a signature highlighted in white, sam... the struggle of president zelenskyi. actually, one of the points on which the author of the material focuses attention concerns the world's weariness from the war in ukraine. for example, even zelsky's last visit to the usa in september shows that

his performance was not as impressive as it once was. the reason for this could be fatigue. but zelensky himself notes the half-time, understands that the allies' interest in the war has decreased. the worst thing is that part of the world is used to the war in ukraine. war fatigue is rolling in like a wave, you see it in the united states, in europe and we see that once they start to get a little tired it becomes like a show for them. i can't watch this rerun at ten. apparently, president zelski's entourage told a times journalist that the president, i quote, feels betrayed by his western allies. it is said that the partners allegedly left ukraine without the means to win the war, only providing aid to survive the invasion. another accent, which also draws attention, actually. publication that ukraine will not be able to win the war, one of zelenskyi's aides allegedly said to the journalist, i quote: "he is deceiving himself." we have no options, we won't win, but try to tell him that. the publication also notes that

president of ukraine volodymyr zelensky is against even a temporary truce, he wants to win the war on ukrainian terms, and according to zelensky , time notes that if russian forces are not stopped in ukraine, hostilities may spread further. i lived with this fear for a long time, third. a new war may begin in ukraine, continue in israel, and then move to asia explode somewhere else. the material also mentions the problem of fighting corruption in ukraine. time writes that in recent months , the issue of corruption has even worsened zelenskyi's relations with allies, and the alleged dismissal of former defense minister reznikov, a team that was accused of corruption schemes, was a step to appease the americans. let me remind you that it is about a scandal regarding the purchase by the ministry of eggs for 17 hryvnias and jackets at probably inflated prices, there are problems in ukraine with mobilization, time notes, despite this, zelensky does not want to freeze the war due to the onset of cold weather, but due to the slow progress

of ukraine at the front, it seems that several dismissals are expected, according to the publication, it is about at least one minister and a senior general, however, without specific names or even fields of activity. this is not the first article by time journalist simon shuster about ukraine. prolensky since the time of the large-scale invasion, he writes a lot, what is known about himself. simon, a profile publication about the media, the copper detector notes that simon schuster a native of moscow, he worked in russia and ukraine for more than 15 years, reporting from both countries. he lives now in new york, but spends a lot of time in kyiv. editor-in-chief oleh bazar on his facebook also drew attention to the fact that shuster had long been critical of the azov regiment. in 2021, many people wrote an article about thousands of neo-nazis who were allegedly trained in ukraine and were the central figures in this material. it was paul kazov and the founder of the battalion, andrii biletskyi. in short, the main theses of the material they look exactly like this, there has been no reaction from the ukrainian side to this, katya. i

hope that now we will receive the reaction of the ukrainian side on the air. thank you, oleg, oleg halyv, briefly with what the journalist wrote in time magazine about the war in ukraine and the mood in the president's office. i will also remind all our viewers that you can ask your questions under the video on the rfe /rl channel, where it is possible. broadcast, please write questions that are interesting, we have the opportunity to voice them on our air, to our mykhailo podolyak, adviser to the head of the office of the president of ukraine, is now joining the broadcast. i congratulate you mykhailo. yes, good morning. we will definitely talk in detail about the important aspects of this time material. and so the president is angry and feels betrayed by his partners. there is such a quote. i'm interested to hear from you, but the general mood of this article, does it reflect the mood of the president and his entourage, now? i wouldn't say that there is any anger or that we consider our partners traitors, there are objective things to talk about, we

about them, by the way, they have already talked about the fact that , after all, the first source of today's world instability is russia itself, so it is still necessary to put the spotlight, i mean, if we are talking about global politics, it is russia , and that russia in this form cannot continue to exist, otherwise the amount of chaos , the number of conflicts, escalations around the world will be very large, and therefore it is still necessary to increase the speed of supplying this or that equipment to ukraine, or more, let's say, apply to that ukraine has all the resources for a fair, fair finalization of this war. there is a little misunderstanding here, why we are doing it slowly, it is meant from the point of view of the supply of equipment, you know very well about it, we are again in public, now we will talk about it, mikhail, what is interesting here is what is happening in the president's office, in the president's entourage and the president himself, you can tell about it, that the president, of course, the president has a strong attitude to the fact that we are fighting for 600 days, and you yourself you understand that you have been

in a state of war for almost two years, that is enough. difficult and maintain a huge interest in ukraine, let me remind you at the beginning of three months, you remember how crazy was the attention to what is happening in ukraine, but today after 600 days, we see that there are many other points on which global politicians are paying attention, and it can't help but cause certain reactions, well, such a negative plan, but again, this is an objective process, you just have to work with it, and that's why it can be said that the president angry, so the president wants more effective communications, more effects... functional performance of functional duties, a clearer understanding of what strategy we have and how it is implemented, and at least that the stated, let's say, intentions, they are implemented at least there by 80, by 70-80% and so on, so there is definitely some psychological fatigue not in the president, i mean, in general, in general, if we talk about the circumstances of what is happening in ukraine today and from the point of view of relations with our

partners, i would like a clearer... fixations, specifics, understanding, we give you this, you have to reach such and such an end with us and so on, that's the problem, but again, you know, when i look at such articles, well, first of all, let's not forget that this is the subjective point of view of a specific journalist who has his own vision of what is happening, this is the first, the second, i do not understand at all what anonymous sources are, yes all the time, because for example, when i talk to someone on behalf of the president's office, i must say that i am speaking, well, because it is so correct, because it seems to me that sometimes these anonymous sources are people who do not have access to certain information, but who are somewhere nearby and if they want to increase their weight, they pass off their visions as axiomatic knowledge, yes, well, that is, they already influence some processes, and let's talk with the journalist now, just write that we are anonymous sources and so on, so it seems to me that these anonymous sources are a little strange construction for this type of texts, well

and the third component is, i emphasize once again, the objective... factors of 600 days of war, taking into account the fact that we have many other points around the world today, for example, again, there are already reports of certain conflict situations between saudi arabia and yemen, for example, and so on, and therefore there are objective elements that one way or another lower the attention to ukraine, but you have to work with it, that is, you don't know who from the president's office could anonymously such and such information to share with shuster. i do not know about all anonymous sources, if i knew all anonymous sources, i would say so, here is anonymous source number od, but definitely not you , but definitely not you, because you always introduce yourself, on the contrary, i always introduced myself, i believe that this is a reputational component and it should be desirable that we get used to the fact that as journalists you have to work under your name, and then you are responsible for it, but look, this article looks a little strange, yes, because anonymous sources say that there is an angry

president , who will fire someone. so next, well, this, that, that’s not quite right, that’s right, the president, by the way, is constantly in communication, in direct communication with a large number of journalists and so on, they see his attitude to this or that problem, the president openly talks about problems , and even then anonymous sources are not needed, if our president was isolated somewhere, and he practically did not communicate with journalists and so on and so on, i would then understand this construction, but practically speaking with journalists, i know that request from radio svoboda, he has been around for a long time and we have not communicated with our journalists , we have not yet been invited to an open meeting, so we are waiting for this invitation in order to ask all the questions. mykhailo, now let's talk about the details , you will say something that does not correspond to reality, but the article announced big changes, even by the end of this year, it is about the dismissal of one minister and one of the generals responsible for the counteroffensive, or such changes probably will, have you heard anything about it? well, first of all, changes are constant are coming, let's not forget our ministers:
