i would like to add viktor dudukalov, deputy chairman of the berdyansk district council of a public activist, to our direct marathon. glory to ukraine, i congratulate you, glory to the heroes, congratulations, well, what, the left bank of the dnipro, the temporarily occupied territory of the kherson region, fighting continues, the information is classified, the general staff of the command issued a certain portion of information, but perhaps you have some additional news that would not harm our fighters , so i will formulate it like this, well, here, here it is not about news, here rather about my assessment, so to speak, because it is related to the left coast, and our direction, and the occupiers understand very well that the loss of the left bank, the loss of the crimean isthmus, is directly correlated with the fact that they will not have an overflow in the zaporizhia direction either, because logistics is very important and

actually, i understand that today, all actions of the armed forces are aimed, including at obstruction, to the violation of enemy logistics, and i know that indeed , fortunately, there is little information about the left bank, because what i know from the guys, that indeed, the movement of our glorious armed forces there, says that the occupiers there well, almost panic, but it is, so to speak, alarming, as we are used to, as they used to say, actually, and we really hope that this will really bring more success in the zaporizhia direction, because we need the sea of ​​azov, the sea of ​​azov, access to him, cutting everything they have, look, mr. victor, and maybe do you have information whether the enemy is now moving from the zaporizhia direction, so we understand that the fighting continues extremely hard in the zaporizhia direction, but still, the enemy is also aware of the importance of the left-bank bridgehead, it is possible.

information about some such, i don't know, powerful movements of equipment and personnel of the enemy? well, we post about once a week, but lately there is constantly information that along the sea of ​​azov from mariupol in the direction of the zaporizhzhia region, from melitopol closer to donetsk region, technical personnel to berdyansk, in order to, most likely, redeploy just in time and move to the left bank , directly, that is, the movement there today, well, the movement of these enemy columns is not decreasing, and maybe sometimes even more, and this is obvious, what are they, well, they are busy dragging their reserves from one side to another, and i will repeat once again that it is very important to hit their logistics here, because logistics is everything for them today, it is air for them, it is life for them and this is an opportunity for them to hold back somehow counter attack so what?

i fully confirm that the zaporizhia region, unfortunately, is at the forefront of the movement of fortune-telling, but we understand that sooner or later something will turn into good news, because they have this commotion, god forbid, it will end with the fact that somewhere we sell, and somewhere we will really get such a serious advantage on the front, which will give us much more opportunities to take faster and more serious steps forward, including, i will repeat once again, in the direction of azov. which is no less important than the left bank. i agree with you, mr. viktor, on the other hand, we also understand that now the history of the liberation of berdyansk is being made, in particular in the robotyn area, we understand that with each arrival at the russian logistics center in the temporarily occupied tokmak, this also all brings the liberation of berdyansk closer, is it possible to share some operational information on arrivals at enemy bases, all the last arrivals, so to speak, jurisdictions, in berdyansk, or in

the berdyansk district, the last arrivals that were the last, well, let's say, weeks, not days, but weeks, this is something beyond of a populated place, whether it is air defense or ammunition, but what they hide as far as possible from people so that it is not visible, it is not clear what is in them, but our armed forces find it all, that's all, in the coordinates before they are converted into coordinates and flies, if it flies, it is aimed, but somewhere in the suburbs, in the villages, very far away, unfortunately, precisely in berdyansk, they try to deploy close to people, and the personnel is placed: among the local population and the entire combat complex, that's all it is possible, so recently, they are stationed so that the civilian population is nearby, and this is everything that is on the territory, close to the takmak, including the robots , that is where they get the highmars, and

that is where the railway is, that is where they like to overload their own ammunition from the railway to further land, so you know, if it explodes there in tokmak, then it means that it did not reach, or to the left bank , including, or to robo, or even to and on the territory of donetsk regions, because they are now using everything possible, everything available logistics, in order to try to contain our counterattack, but well, in my estimation, the trend recently has improved in that we are more in control of their rear positions. mr. viktor, berdyansk, berdyansk port, ot. i saw information that the enemy tried to take native ukrainian grain from the berdyansk port by barges, yes, on the other hand, we understand that if the port is working, accordingly, they transfer not only stolen grain, but maybe they transfer manpower, additional and, accordingly, military the technique that is now with

sports, well, this is mostly not about manpower, but about the equipment and ammunition that go to our port, i understand that the port of mariupol is used in approximately the same mode. i note that not so long ago the occupiers announced a reduction in the number of employees, because they realized that they did not need civilians, especially port workers, who went there at one time to cooperate, supporting the occupiers, but today they realized that the occupiers did not support them. and in addition, they are now already announcing preparations for winter use of the port, that they will be engaged in dredging work there, so that it is possible to use the port during lodoo, and so on, that is, obviously they will not be able to exist without the port, because it also allows them to rob on a more industrial scale and, accordingly, to bring, these are all deadly

, ammunition, equipment, our port, the port of mariupol, this is in fact for them rear support, because these are rear positions, but somewhere else once a quarter and in the port, explosions are heard and the most important thing for the local population also arrives in the port. what exactly an air raid siren sounds in the port, once every two, once every three days, and there , the locals understand that the air raid alarm sounds not just because the occupiers are afraid there, they are very worried about all this, they have stationed anti-aircraft defenses behind the port, and boys in panties run out there at night, when the siren sounds and so on, so yes, it is not easy for them there, well, on the other hand, mr. viktor, we understand that they are also trying to recruit local us. the occupiers are trying to drag out our fellow citizens with threats and other actions, so in their criminal interventionist groups, how the process of so-called mobilization is currently taking place, in the same berdyansk, and in general, if we talk about the preparation in

the temporarily occupied territories for the election of the so-called president of russia, that is how we understand elections without a choice, but certain procedures they are still are held there. and yes, these elections are not called presidential elections there, they call it putin’s election there , in general, yes, i don’t call him by his last name that often, but we understand on the air, and as for mobilization, today it’s already incredibly active preparation, all enterprises, all subordinate structures must pass through the medical commission, receive summonses, those who do not receive, those who do not want to be fired, then still receive this summons, everything, the passported population is subject to registration, must necessarily with to appear, there are already several cases of men being noticed and recruited, really mobilized under compulsion directly into the army of the aggressor, we are trying

to explain about the state programs that are in place so that it is possible, well, not to die as at least, on the side of the aggressor, and the local population today cannot understand what to do, because they are already screwed and from the new year they will use many of their laws exactly as they are in the territory of the russian federation . that is, the lawlessness is absolute and no one will take into account any opinion or any individual rights, and if a hidden mobilization is announced to take bobiki from the streets, as it was in donetsk region, luhansk region, then i think that this can take place completely and on our territory, as far as elections are concerned, has a problem today with the occupiers , because there are not so many who want to participate in these elections, because they detained not so long ago one of the participants in the so-called... local elections, who brought 500 dollars to her relatives , and everyone understood that any person

who participates in the elections is subject to responsibility, this was very telling for the local population, and the next attempt to organize these elections will be, i am sure, solely for the sake of the picture for the kremlin curators to report, steal more money and to say that we have a little more than 100% support here, as it usually happens there. it's kind of a sad situation, but... we have what we have. thank you, mr. viktor. viktor dudukalov , deputy chairman of the berdyansk district council, a public activist, was currently working on the live broadcast of espresso, so now there's a short break, after it we'll talk about internal ukrainian problems, wait. do ordinary things become unreal? heavy bags are not for my sore back. in the back, try dolgit cream. kremgit relieves pain, reduces swelling and improves joint mobility. with

shelter in the apartment building where i live, can strangers be allowed there? yes , during an alarm , people who do not live there can and should be allowed into the shelter of the house, because everyone has the right to civil protection, even if the person is not familiar to you. everyone has the right to be safe. well , lloyd austin was not the only one living in the information space, so today the president, by the way, met the president of ukraine, volodymyr zelenskyi. with the head of the american pentagon, but in addition, the president met with the republican delegation, today there was a meeting of the president of ukraine with foreign journalists, in particular with the general director of fox corporation lachlan murduk, journalists of fox news, benjamin hall and the sun, jerome starkey, they talked about the font, about the front and determination of ukrainians,

we will talk about this and other things now serhii tomilenko , head of the national union of journalists, ukraine. glory to ukraine, mr. serhiy, i congratulate you. glory to the heroes, congratulations. well, an extremely important meeting, yes, we understand that foxnews is an influential source american information. yes, on the other hand , we understand that, well, the situation in the united states has a tendency to only worsen. well, the key story is how we should properly build our communication strategies so that certain messages from american journalists do not multiply, which sometimes put our media community or expert environment into a stupor. , so did not expect something like this, well, and then the backlash begins, and that's why i say well that meet, for example, with representatives of the fox corporation and journalists of fox news, you are welcome, mr. serhiy.

really important today was the meeting with representatives of fox news, and the fact that - the emphasis now in our reports is on the fact that the president met with the voice or the mouthpiece of the republicans, this is one emphasis, but i would also like to emphasize, to emphasize that that among the representatives of this group, with whom president volodymyr zelenskyi met, there is a famous american journalist, benjamin hall, and benjamin hall himself, he received a heavy injuries, he lost part of his leg, a year ago he covered the events of the attempted occupation of kyiv by the russians and in irpin, one of the fox news journalists pierre zagzhevsky was killed, the ukrainian producer oleksandra kuvshynova was killed, and benjamin hall was seriously injured and therefore for fox news, despite

, that of course they are in such an ideological direction , currently the republican... party, but for fox news, actually, this is a certain personal story, where they have solidarity with their journalistic team, and accordingly also we can count on fox news to show some kind of sympathy, maybe for ukraine. benjamin hall wrote a professional good story, a book of memoirs about the vlas, actually war journalism with an emphasis on ukraine. fox news, i'll list. in view of this case, the death of our journalists and the wounding of benjamin hall, 1 million dollars in the american red cross specifically to help ukraine, so there is a certain personal connection, but basically what we expect is, of course, that once again ukraine remained on the international agenda

the media, or if they talk about a certain, even important, topic , but not for us in particular... the more important topic is ukraine and the resistance to the occupiers, then if they don't talk about us, then accordingly the public interest fades and a certain support, so it's the right step that this meeting is happening, but again, let's see how the results will be? i agree with you, the meeting is really important, and the fact that the president of ukraine meets with foreign journalists is also important, but there are also different ukrainian media environments, that is... recently there were meetings at which there were representatives of the same telegram channels that raise questions, i will not list them, yes, well, but the yellowness, so to speak, drove away some colleagues very much, and we understand that there are, so to speak, normal media, but with one or another ideas about the world, well, this fits into what is called freedom of speech, you know, if

you take it there, i don’t know, the first and direct, i think that in terms of my, i don’t know, perception of american ... in fact, they are not too different from colleagues from fox news, for example, well, maybe it’s not quite the way we know the internal ukrainian story about freedom of speech, because we have the demands of the european commission, we have a dialogue about, well, we wanted this whole thing to somehow , you know, look more civilized, so that then they did not refer to the case related to freedom of speech in certain meetings of the european union, i do not know whether the european parliament or the european commission or any other additional commissions that we have with this whole matter are read from the consultation, or involve, for example, you, mr. sergiu, well, actually ours the national... union of journalists of ukraine is no longer involved at the national level, but at the international level , we are members of the european federation of journalists and, accordingly, if we were involved in

the process of certain consultations, involved in consultations regarding freedom of speech, safety of journalists, attacks on journalists, the fight against impunity, and of course what is primarily of interest to european colleagues in the context of ukraine's accession, or as close as possible to the european union. these are the only rules for all journalists and media, respectively minimization of political influence in the form of pressure on inconvenient, unwieldy journalists, etc., therefore, for today, of course , what is accepted, if in ukrainian legislation, where certain european requirements are implemented, is one aspect, but at the same time, for today we... also talk about what the practice is like and whether all journalists and the media can exercise their right to professional work in ukraine, and what kind of

feedback, feedback, for example from our european friends, how do they really assess the situation with freedom of speech in to ukraine, well, when they talk to you, well, again, here, first of all, our european international colleagues, they understand the realities of war, and therefore they will somewhat restrain... propaganda, but at the same time, of course, there are certain concerns, because, again, accordingly, to some extent there are restrictions on access to information, restrictions on certain mass media, and accordingly, again, for the time being, in a non-public format, requests are made to the government, to officials, and again they call... in practice not to restrict freedom of speech, at least, if we talk to responsible media which work in the ukrainian legal field.

well, yes, we didn't want to restrict freedom of speech, although we understand that it's a war, and there are certain logical restrictions, but there are, so to speak, some, i don't know, politically or socially resonant stories, for example, the fifth the channel has now gone on strike, an inspection by the national council has been scheduled. so , in particular, due to the appearance on the air of a person who made certain sharp statements. here you can even do without the last name, but we understand what it is about, it is about sokolova's interview with iryna farion, yes, but what is ahead, check comes to the fifth channel, what to do with such cases? well, actually, today, on the one hand, the national council is really implementing its own. the right to, if additional verification of the first source, where iryna farion on the air, made her high-profile statements

, which are currently the subject of an investigation by official structures, at the same time, nevertheless, we in the national union of journalists of ukraine emphasize that, first of all, if there is an investigation into public persons, in relation to politicians, in relation to officials, then again it is not extreme to be mass media, and if there are misdemeanors and violations by a public person, first of all sanctions should be applied to such a person and only then it is possible through discussion, through everything to talk about certain responsibilities and sanctions for mass media, so right now, of course, we, we, we are experiencing , we are in solidarity with the fifth channel, it is obvious that the colleagues who volunteer, who inform as much as possible, who make a huge contribution, then they do not deserve and in this situation they, well, if for punishment, especially since they are not, well

distanced themselves, and the presenter distanced herself from those high-profile statements, so for today we still have hope that the check will only establish the first source, but the channel itself will not be punished, and there is also an extremely loud case, in particular, about the attack on our colleague mykhailo tkach , so a couple of days ago he was working, carrying out his journalistic task on the outskirts of kyiv, and he was attacked, how is the investigation of this story progressing? unfortunately, we are already talking about another attack on mykhailo tkach, on the well-known investigator, and today, of course, first of all, this is a very alarming situation, because such an impulse is broadcast globally to the society of the insecurity of journalists, and accordingly, it is a precedent, which is then easily picked up in ukraine on the ground, when these shots are viewed, and accordingly, some local influencers are some jerks, they can then

throw their fists in poltava, cherkasy, and lviv in the same way, so this is an outrageous situation that must be reacted to harshly, the first public statement and reaction from the national police, it is quite optimistic, because a criminal case has been initiated, the proceedings are for obstructing journalistic activity, but at the same time, today it is again about the first step, from the initiation of a criminal case to the investigation and to the punishment and to the security of journalists, for today we still call on the national the police of ukraine to practice within this system, a certain mode of response and protection of journalists when they perform their professional duty, in previous years a certain element and a hotline and practice through a certain

department and certain employees of operational response to such situations, but again, well, our situation is to exercise public control, this situation is outrageous, it did not happen, in the zone there is an impression of hostilities in donetsk region, so it is obvious that there are no arguments to justify this aggressive behavior on today, well, we don’t see, that’s why it’s clearly the defense of the journalist, the punishment of the attackers, and accordingly, basically, if society should put these people in their place, who tried, if only to hide, and obviously violated those norms that are common to all, team hours, etc. mr. serhiy, i agree with you, but this is just wild game, you know, we are somehow already used to the fact that such stories can take place, and they are here, you know, extremely, literally nearby, and did this or that feedback come from the side of the ministry of internal affairs of ukraine, and in general, if we speak, we have literally two minutes left, if we talk about

improving our legislation, but with regard to such stories, what should be done? well, it's difficult to say here again, because objectively, the number of attacks on journalists over the past two years or a year and a half has decreased, because in general society is mobilized to resist the enemy, and it is clear that for every ukrainian journalist the main enemy is the occupier, it is the russian, and accordingly, in the last at the time, globally, aggression towards journalists rarely happened, but now, unfortunately, we see that society is getting used to it, and this corresponding noise, which was recorded on video, they also believe that they can actually let go of journalists in the rear, so here today the legislation is in principle relatively normal, here we need a debate not about the legislation, but about the practice of implementation and about the identification of specific persons and about their punishment,

thank you very much, mr. serhiy, milenko worked live on espresso, head of the national union of journalists of ukraine. and another message from the president's office. so, the president of ukraine held a meeting with foreign journalists, in particular with fox corporation ceo lachlan murdoch, fox news journalists benjamin hall and the sun's jerome starkey, they said about the front and the determination of journalists, and the president of ukraine awarded hall with the order of merit of the third degree and thanked murdyk for coming, stressing that this is a very important signal of support at a time when the focus of the world's attention is blurred by other events, the president spoke about the situation on the battlefield and noted that it is important to keep the world's attention on the ukrainian struggle for freedom and for its state, well, let me remind you that in the spring of the 22nd year in the kyiv region, a group of fox news journalists came under russian fire, then they died cameraman pierre zakrzhevskyi and ukrainian fixer oleksandra kuvshynova. benjamin hall

was seriously injured. well, now we enter the news format, yes, literally in a few seconds, you will see my colleagues. well, that's all i have for today, leave it with espresso. it's 5 p.m. in ukraine and for your attention a news broadcast on the espresso tv channel in the studio of iryna koval, greetings to all viewers. us defense minister lloyd austin met with ukrainian president volodymyr zelsky in kyiv. the head of the pentagon noted that this meeting was another opportunity to confirm his steadfastness

support of ukraine from the united states. austin also added that the layer
