the grouping in kharkiv oblast despite the events in kursk oblast, said vitaly sarentsev, spokesman for the operational tactical grouping of kharkiv troops. i will quote him: in the direction of the settlement of vovchansk, the enemy has already rotated personnel, he has started a new unit from the luhansk region, also carries out internal rotations, uses personnel that used to be in the second echelon. thus, despite all the events, the enemy continues to try to storm our positions. if we talk about any reduction in personnel, we do not notice it at the moment, - said sarentsev. he also says that the assault activity of the occupiers in kharkiv region has somewhat decreased, but there is an increase in the number of shelling. the spokesman added that the enemy has not changed its goals and plans regarding the occupation of vovchansk move on now let's talk about kharkiv region, but about a slightly different direction. we will talk about what is happening now in the kupyn region. nadiya zamryga, head of the public relations service of the 14th

separate mechanized brigade named after prince roman the great should be in direct contact with us by now, mrs. head of the public relations service, i congratulate you and glory to ukraine, heroes glory. i ask you to share the operational situation in your direction, how much the situation is worsening there, or vice versa, maybe it becomes a little easier when the enemy is now trying to solve problems that directly affect his territory. i mean the situation that is currently happening in kursk region, does it not affect the general situation at the front, in particular in your direction, you know, in our direction the situation has been controlled for quite a long time, but let's say it is so complicated , is complicated by the fact that the enemy constantly conducts assault actions, constantly tries to find a weak point in the defense, and... he does not succeed in this with our units, and

when he does not succeed in this for a day or two or three, then we watch him, you know, and he is so emotional, as it were, emotional actions, when he actually begins to hit the populated areas, and behind the splinter, petropavlivka, sinkivka, kupyanska gets to the surrounding villages and beats them with kababs. artillery, here, that is, the situation is like this, now you are showing a video of our princely brigade, actually, well, this is probably a unique case when a combat vehicle 20, bm21grad, was operating at our positions, and the air reconnaissance detected it very instantly and in time, and the fp operators drones of our haron strike group, one of the units of the brigades.

actually hit and stopped the fire and destroyed the enemy hail, believe me, it's extraordinary, well , it's so easy for me, you know, to tell it like that literally in a few seconds, but in reality it's a very big, difficult, difficult, dangerous job of many units, guys who are very, let's put it this way, they work, as they say, on their nerves, on their nerves, to make it all work, and it's a matter of where literally... minutes count, well, you 've already mentioned the work of aerial reconnaissance, i think we'll continue now to discuss the actual these opportunities now before us if we we talk about drones, about drones and about means of electronic warfare, how important it is now on the front, so we understand that now almost all meetings are about equipment that can work in the sky, but i want our viewers to be able to... understand

in practice how important it is to have enough of the equipment that our soldiers need? well, let's say, for today, it is already possible to imagine one day of war without... from aerial reconnaissance, without fpv drones, without bepla, which carry resets, but not that practically, it is impossible at all, because today it is one of the most active components, and with which we inflict considerable losses on the enemy, i in no way want to minimize, let's say, the importance of heavy artillery, tanks, but you know that, well, a duo of heavy armament. and bepla itself, fpv drones, which are extremely important today. we also talked about rebs, so electronic warfare is also extremely important today, why? because we develop, we move forward, we do something new, in general

the armed forces of ukraine, in particular the brigade, believe me, we have such rather interesting inventions, our guys, engineers, servicemen of other units. they find an opportunity with their hands, with their brains to find something new, here, but in the same way , the enemy also develops, also moves forward, also comes up with ways to hurt us, here, and that is why the slaves help a lot in this, the slaves save lives , save the lives of personnel at positions, save the lives of personnel moving by car, transport, as heavy technology, this is all that protects each of us on the front lines today. ms. nadiya, let's also talk about, you mentioned that the enemy is also not standing still, he is also trying to scale

the number of drones and rebs that he uses, we understand that the budgets, which unfortunately , spends our little country and country. the occupier who came to kill us, it's not just proportional sizes and amounts, but we are, you know, very small, but very precise with our actions, inflicting on him there is also a lot of damage and we are defending our own state, can you describe what the enemy is using most now, and in general, what are the current tactics, in particular in your direction, how the enemy is trying to deceive us in order to capture and... and continue to advance on our territories, you know, his tactics in our area of ​​responsibility by and large do not change for the most part, there are airstrikes, and then there are artillery, mortars, and then, under the cover

of this heavy weaponry, somewhere the infantry tries to advance in small groups, here, but in order... to, let's say, protect ourselves and prevent this, actually there is aerial reconnaissance, semi-drones, the same resets, which allow, thanks to our guys, their extraordinary, let's say, skills, ah, to overtake act in advance and prevent the enemy from approaching, let's say, the line of transition from assault to attack, that is, we try to... work in advance. i also wanted to ask you about what resources the enemy is currently concentrating in your direction, whether the enemy is currently suffering heavy losses, trying to advance deep into our state? and again, i am talking exclusively

about the area of ​​responsibility of the 14th separate mechanized brigade named after prince roman the great, so believe me, he is suffering significant losses, but in those daily... summaries that we see on social networks, on the website of the general headquarters, there are hundreds to thousands, there is also a significant contribution of our princely brigade, we work, we work on equipment, on personnel, we inflict the maximum possible damage on the enemy, losses in order to make it clear to us how the day passed. and these are all trumped-up statistics, these are all aerial reconnaissance confirms, and believe me, it is very pleasant when these numbers reach 10, 15, or even 20 occupants. and finally, i wanted to ask you, because of the operation, for example, in the kursk region of

the kharkiv region, the occupiers have not used aviation for more than a day, this is attributed to the fact that perhaps ukrainian air defense equipment has become... in relation to their airfields, is there a change regarding the use of russian aircraft in your direction now? well, you know, they have such a tactic, say... that every day they use aviation on our positions, surrounding settlements, he will not say that it is every day, but it is stable, for a day or two, then there is some kind of break, and then they can apply it again. thank you, nadiya zemryga, head of the public relations service of the 14th separate mechanized brigade named after prince roman the great, was on the live air of the tv channel, we thank her. and we are moving on, now we will have a pause, but i want to remind you that

now we are continuing the assembly for our soldiers from as many as three units, this is the third assault brigade, the 47th brigade and the 110th brigade of the armed forces of ukraine, and we are collecting funds for drones and electronic warfare systems, here is actually the spokeswoman of the service, more precisely the head of the public relations service of the 14th brigade and... named after prince roman the great, explained how important it is to use drones and rebs in combat, there is not a single day , so that they are not used, and you can only imagine what the scale must be in terms of the number of all these means in order to be able to use them on a daily basis, despite the fact that the war has already been going on for more than 2.5 years, so i am asking all of you very much , who sees this one ether, join our collection, we have a large amount, 3.5 million uah, but... little by little we are starting to go to this million, yes the first one,

espresso in the evening. the 17-year-old and 22-year-old saboteurs, who were preparing to set fire to ukrzaliznytsia facilities, were detained in the ukrainian capital. this information was released by the security service of ukraine. the enemy planned to involve these attackers in setting fire to relay chess, signal installations on strategically important railway lines of the region, and actually involved these two young men for this purpose, who came to the attention of the aggressor due to convictions for hooliganism and fraud. well, at the end of july this year. on new year's eve , a representative of the special service of the russian federation appeared in the telegram messenger and offered him cooperation, and for money, his henchman first had to burn a relay box near one of the cargo stations of ukrzaliznytsia on the territory of kyiv, and then involved a 17-year-old acquaintance, a local handyman, to carry out the task. well, accordingly, they

conducted reconnaissance near a potential target at night, photographed it and sent it to consent to his russian curator. in short, let's be vigilant, our dear viewers, let's not lose our attention and let's focus on the fact that now the enemy is trying to activate its agents on the territory of our state. well, now we will add oleksandr pavlichenko, the executive director of the ukrainian helsinki union, to the ether. mr. oleksandr, i congratulate you. my greetings to all viewers. i would like to start our conversation with enough. bad news about our prisoners of war, the head of the un mission in ukraine, danielle bel, announced that, on unfortunately, 95% of ukrainian prisoners of war are tortured in russian captivity, this is an impressive number, probably only a few who are not tortured, and mostly everyone who somehow falls into russian captivity, they are tortured by the occupying country.

is there anything we can do about it, mr. alexander? today. and currently we have the opportunity to record cases of ill-treatment, cruel treatment, torture, when there is an opportunity to directly interview the victims or witnesses of such committed crimes, just ms. daniel bel refers to the actual materials received by the employees of the monitoring mission of the united nations organization based on the results. of the ukrainian military who came out of russian captivity and were handed over at the end of january this february 20024, and in fact these statistics are taken from this survey, that is, it is only about this contingent that was surveyed, and accordingly

95% of those surveyed were tortured, this was confirmed and they even indicated what kind of... what kind of torture, on whom it was used, and in fact we are talking about what actually all 100% who fall into captivity, they go through torture, i can even say that being in cells where they are with those who were tortured, or when the person himself does not give in, let's say real physical but she hears how other people are tortured or killed nearby in a nearby room, this is also one of the forms of torture, it is psychological torture, and almost all prisoners of war go through this form of torture, it happens, well, i would say so, in almost 100% of the cases when

ukrainians are in captives, and one more... one big one the problem with which we have a situation and a matter to which we also need to pay attention is that the russian federation does not grant the status of prisoners of war to those who are captured, and accordingly, it treats them like captured criminals, roughly speaking, as it were, or terrorists, or those who oppose a special military operation, or those whom it accuses of espionage and, as i have already said, of terrorism, and accordingly, it subjects them to prosecution, to a criminal procedure that is completely contrary to norms international humanitarian... case, and here we see another hole, which, let's say, needs to be patched in the standards of compliance with the norms of ihl, because thousands of our

prisoners of war are now under the status of accused, suspect or defendant, and there are already hundreds of convicted to unrealistically long terms of imprisonment, only for the fact that they were defenders of ukraine, actually resisted. aggressor and for this they are punished with criminal terms. and tell me, please, and if russia does not recognize the status of prisoners of war, then how in general are exchanges happening now? we see that , unfortunately, there are not many of them, but still they happen once in a while, and how can we legally call these exchanges of people, it is not an exchange of prisoners of war, because if russia does not recognize such a status, then it turns out that it cannot carry out exchanges exactly. prisoners of war, russia does not have a fixed status of prisoners of war, and they hold ukrainian

prisoners of war who are actually prisoners of war, either with criminals or in secret detention facilities, so there are no, say, camps for internees, camps for prisoners of war, let me remind you, there are already three in ukraine... such camps where russian prisoners of war are kept, the last third was recently opened in one of the eastern regions, and we are just showing an example and an example of what how should it be done and do we adhere to this standard, how do the exchanges take place, why do they take place, and russia legally does not recognize the status of prisoners of war, but it has lists of ... persons who pass, let's say one more procedure for recognizing the status, this confirmation of such status at the level of the central tracing agency of the international

committee, the international committee of the red cross, and accordingly the icrc has a procedure for establishing the status of a prisoner of war by filling out the corresponding so-called three cards, one of which is sent to the country of origin. a person who is in captivity, the second remains with this person in this captivity and in this state, and the third is transferred to geneva, actually this is a tripartite procedure, and accordingly it provides for the recognition of this status, and therefore through such a procedure, let's just say, was carried out for several thousand ukrainian prisoners of war, they have been fixed at the level of the icrc of the international committee of the red cross. at the same time, they can be subjected to this criminal prosecution precisely for opposing this special russian military operation of theirs, that is, it is

actually leveling and disregarding the status of a prisoner of war, who is protected, protected as combatants from criminal prosecution for the fact that they participated in combat operations against the enemy. sir oleksandr, but there is also torture of civilians in the occupied territories and in one of the last ones. in the interview, you said that the most terrible places are chongar and mariupol, and that they are not under the control of even the official system of execution of punishments of the russian federation, the fsb runs everything there, but do we know how many civilians the russians tried to torture or subjected to torture on occupied territories, can we somehow get these statistics and who can help us with this? and whether there is any connection at all with these people who may have succumbed this torture? we are now talking about both

civilians and prisoners of war, because both prisoners of war and civilians, civilians who have the status of being in places of detention in the russian federation, are transported to these places of detention, this official status. in fact , most of them were stolen from ukrainian territories from the regions that were under occupation, or in 2022, we say, the kyiv, chernihiv, sumy and kharkiv regions, which were liberated, respectively, in 2022 , the russians also took out civilians from there. which to this day remains in fact in places of imprisonment and even without criminal cases opened against them, they are simply

received. by russia as hostages, and a large number of the population was captured in precisely those territories that partially continue to be under russian control, under occupation, that is, the zaporizhia, kherson, luhansk and donetsk regions, respectively, and there are also processes of criminal prosecution against this population, they are handed russian passports and the criminal procedure begins persecution. for the fact that they seem to uh, let's say, resist the russian, ah, uh , invasion or establishment of this russian power, actually, being, as it were, on russian territory, because russia has declared these territories as its own, well, and of course , for this, er , different types of torture are used, when we talk about the number, you ask, what is the number of people, er, that's the number, i won't

give the exact number, i know it, but it's now reaches approximately 2 thousand people, that is, about 200 people are in places of imprisonment and need, let's put it this way, immediate protection intervention, and these are persons who are not combatants, prisoners of war, but there is also one problem here, russia just... often persons who are purely civilians, it takes them and relegates them to the status of combatants, and brings the same criminal charges against them as captured prisoners of war, and effectively equates them to the status of prisoners of war, conflating those statuses, and thus these individuals who were never there, let's say,

participants, combatants of hostilities. combatants, they can pass as prisoners of war, and accordingly can even participate in these, let's say, exchange processes, negotiations, or even the exchange processes themselves, which continue, this is indeed a positive trend , and there are periodic exchanges on both sides, but in fact ... almost always from the number of exclusively prisoners of war there was a single exception, two, or rather, one was in january of this year 2024, when russia handed over several civilians in addition to absolutely equal numbers that were exchanged between ukraine and russia prisoners of war, well, let me remind you, we had an exchange, from which nariman dzhelal returned,

what was known, it was... also, let's put it this way, it was a mutual release of these civilians persons, which was achieved as a result of various negotiations. to be very brief, we literally have less than a minute, people can be thrown into the basement and tortured only because of a pro-ukrainian position, or it could be for some completely different reasons, it could be a refusal to work for the occupying power, it it can be an ordinary racket with a demand... to transfer the business to some local or russian representative, it can be other motives, but basically it is usually a disloyal attitude towards the russian occupation authorities. thank you, oleksandr pavlichenko, executive director of the ukrainian helsinki union, was on the live air of the espresso tv channel. we thank him for the work he is doing, so that we at least

know and understand what might...be a hypothetical situation with prisoners of war and how the russians are trying to torture and civilians in the occupied territories, and now it's 5 o'clock on the clock, which means that it's news time and time to learn about everything most important at this moment. i will pass the floor to my colleague anna yeviy melnyk, who is ready to share all the most important things with us. colleague, share. thank you for your work marta, the news editor will work further, i will tell you about the most important things, in particular. about what kind of relationship for the military army plus began to function in ukraine, what it is, everything will be detailed later, stay with us.
