kherson city council member oksana pogomiy joins us. mrs. oksano, glory to ukraine and i hope you have a good morning. glory to the heroes, good morning, everyone is alive. thank god. and that's good. bohdan tkachuk from the kharkiv region just joined us and told us that despite the fact that there are shellings every day, and they often hit, destroy the civilian infrastructure, and... unfortunately, people die, but the mood of kharkiv residents is optimistic and life it continues and rages there, although this is not about the pre-war norm, or whether it is successful in the kherson region to keep this setting, because it is more difficult for you to have another type of shelling there, but we also know that drones are constantly hovering and it is not easy for civilians. well, according to our statistics, which we consider to be incomplete, as of

the day before yesterday, there were 2,200 people killed in a month, this is a very large number in fact, and out of 10 dead, 127 were wounded, and this is not a complete statistic, 100%, and there are no statistics yet , in these statistics, how many e-e buildings, cars, were damaged and so on, how many incendiary devices they dropped. e from reset, houses are burning. we have a lot going on tonight one of the districts of the city was shelled by mlrs. it's just that someone who lives and hasn't left kherson for all this time told me today that it was the first time it was so scary, that is , there is a feeling that the next projectile will hit your house. well, we live as we lived before, but still go outside. not like that anymore, well, before you went out and

you felt more or less safe, if you are in the part of the city that is not close to the dnipro, then now there is no such safety, now you listen, you look at the sky, when the rain is glad that they will not reach you, although at night today the shaheds were flying and you could hear it, despite the fact that it was raining, well, it depends on what kind of drones they launch in our kherson, and in all these circumstances, how they are set up people? what way do they find in order to live, to continue doing their business, are there any thoughts about evacuating for the winter, maybe after the harvest, a little further away? about evacuation, practically, i was personally contacted only once to ask, is there someone who evacuates, because the person...

the person is not old there, about 60 years old, but antonivka, we have never had very strong shelling there, and therefore they asked if it is possible to find someone who evacuates, and that's how people try to stay, you understand, leaving kherson is good, where to go, we don't have state programs, we have people who have stayed or are old. those whose relatives were not taken from them, or who have no relatives and are simply afraid to show their homes, and those who remained, who are in forces, they think that we will survive the winter, although i personally do not know, if there is no opposition to this drone attack, because we understand that it is not just like that, they did not fly, they did not fly, they started to fly, which means that they have new equipment, that they have... they changed the cleanliness there,

something else, and i hope that our zsu, the zsu are well done, they even, excuse me, from laina and palok, are doing something to somehow resist , if they are given more weapons in their hands so that they can work better, i am choosing the words actually, because i want to plow sideways in our direction. our heads of state and the ministry of defense, i just want to go there and get into a fight, but what can we do, and if our armed forces are equipped better than ours now, then i hope that the situation will improve, at least when i read yesterday that adult people, poroshenko's team brought to our country, brought three ipets to the south, it became...

morally easier for us, because one ipets to the kherson region, one to odesk, one to mykolaivsk, our marines will work , a center will be created there, and it will be a little easier for us, i'm telling the truth. because , firstly, we heard that there will be more, and secondly , we heard that we heard earlier how good these complexes are for countering the russians against all this, such a complex of means of radio-electronic warfare, i explain for our viewers, they are called aypetri, as well as the peak in crimea, mrs. oksana, you actually just said that you want our troops to be able to... get more weapons and more opportunities, do the people of kherson, the residents of the region, have time, or do they actually reflect on political events, on those discussions and international ones, or is all the time and all thoughts occupied only by the question of survival

and how to give advice on the spot? no, listen, people are different, of course, someone sits at home and runs only to the store for bread, we have such a large team. in fact, it is ours, and there are many more, i speak for ours, we have a volunteer center, we weave nets, we bake bread in the bakery and distribute as much as possible to the military, what is left is to the population who is in need, we have created a cultural center and already its filled and we are already starting to work, and we have books, and events, and writers have already come and will come, we just... decorated, as they say, the premises, in fact, political events, no, in fact, this is it, what i told you about is to support the armed forces of the armed forces, and this, a little bit, so that the cuckoo does not go away, you understand that you are doing a good job and that you are a good man, yes, we also, we still do

auctions, we collect for the needs of the military there , what are they asking for, but when you hear from the military, buy us yourself...a cheap drone, please, so that we can at least to see what is above our positions, and you and they give a link to the really cheapest one there, which costs up to 15 thousand, then you understand that it shouldn’t be like that, if there are some complexes, which, okay, that’s that, of course , and we discuss it, and we look, we try to see what the president tells... us, we try, this, this is terrible, this is listening, personally, i am very ashamed of what kind of behavior, what he says, for the way he behaves, instead of diplomatically, so that diplomats do not escape from europe, america,

from britain, we are on facebook, well, or just on the networks, we are calling to give us weapons, it does not work like that. so work, that is, they still have an election campaign, the next election campaign, we would like there to be a campaign, a war in which we will win, and not preparations for the next election in which they want to win, of course we are discussing , we talk about this every day, we want not to steal, but to have everything, so that if you announced a million drones, then at least half a million you already had to purchase, if... they took the personal income tax from the local authorities, then you should not have 45%, master it, you understand that even with their appetites they could not master the entire amount, they had to, what i say, i want , so that

grown-up people come to power, and not only i want it, and then it will be difficult, but we will be calmer, we will be sure that we will win as we want, and... on some conditions of the dnipro pabirig, or or somehow. ms. oksano, we literally have one minute left to talk about the temporarily occupied territories i wanted to ask, i know that the russians are preparing a propaganda forum, it is not very obvious, they have the support of the population in the occupied territories, and ukrainians are not particularly happy to be recruited into their army, what can you add to what we know, i am just asking briefly, well, i i want, to be brief, there is a difference... no, yes, but it is true that there is not much support, in fact it is difficult for people there, but people survive there, and that is why they are there, adult men are hiding so that they are not taken away, who can , who voted, who waited for russia, here are those

those have to go to the army because they are caught, they are simply forced to do it, well , they chose their own fate, it is very scary on the left bank, on the left bank. genocide on the left bank awaits ukraine. ms. oksana, thank you, thank you for your work and for the conversation, oksana pogomi, activist, volunteer and deputy of kherson. of the city council was with us, then we will talk about a very important aspect of both peaceful and, unfortunately, now military life, about saving lives in the rear and at the front. director of the children's palliative center in kharkiv, roman marabyan returned to work after serving in the defense forces at the front. mr. roman left on the second day of the great war. he was a combat medic for more than two years, evacuating the wounded from positions, and today he returned to what he did before, helping. seriously ill children and shared his story with our colleagues. it's been a month since mr. roman began

his usual job, managing a children's palliative care center. i almost didn't, i wasn't in the war for 2.5 years. for 25 years, i practically lived by work, and that's why the war changed me, i did almost the same thing here, what is needed here. seriously ill children had to be saved, the wounded had to be saved there. on the second day after the full-scale invasion , the man was already in the military. well, how can you not make such a decision, well, how, well, what will i do, well, i am the captain of the medical service, i am an active doctor, i am a man, an enemy has come to my country, to my city, i understand that i must help , because... useful, that is, my task was simply to be useful to our army. in

two months of service, he became the commanding officer of the assault battalion of the 92nd brigade and for more than two years served in this position. but when the man turned 60, he was sent home. the center, which he created more than 25 years ago and has run since then, specializes in helping seriously ill children and those with developmental disorders. among them... maxim, here's this ball, yes, get it, come on, come on, i'll be for it, yes, keep it, the boy's mother says, maxim has speech problems, and here they help him learn to speak, because apart from this center to turn anywhere else, it’s all free, but now it’s difficult for me, for example, my husband lost his job, i am on maternity leave, because i have an older girl and a younger son, i am currently on maternity leave. we come, we can work with children for free, the teachers are very good, they help a lot, no, the girls have left, well

, if i am very grateful that they provide us with such help, due to the withdrawal of the occupiers , the children have more problems, doctors share, because the war makes its own corrections for children in our lives, this is also very much postponed, children can be very irritable, because of that may be... come with various problems, so we try, we will try to solve these issues. the center was only closed for the first two months after the full-scale invasion, but staff and children lived in the basement of the hospital until they were evacuated to germany. for the first time in the hours of the start of a full-scale war, when kharkiv was already shelled. cotton balls and aviation dropped bombs and rockets already started to hide here, our

workers moved our children here, local residents who lived next to here came to us, that is, we had up to 80 people here at the same time, mrs. nataliya stayed in kharkiv all the time and went to work, she says, the director wrote them news. that we are moving forward, that the ground is on fire under the enemy, everything will be fine, he will support us a lot so that we take care of ourselves, but it was very pleasant and very pleasant to receive such news from him. the employees share, they were very worried about the director, but when he returned, the work boiled over. mr. roman is very active in us. the situation has changed, we were all waiting for him and we are very glad that he is back. first of all, for

that mr. marabyan undertook repairs in the basement. without this shelter, they cannot take children to a hospital , and there are not enough funds for repairs. doctors have a lot of hope for benefactors. we plan, we dream of having a completely ready shelter by the end of the year, where they can stay as children in... children who are under state care, now they are still in germany, we can be ready for their return even then. despite everything , the center continues to work and is currently visited by one and a half hundred families. now this is an exam for our entire country, for everyone us, this is war. but children, ukraine, without children ukraine has no future. from kharkiv for espresso tv channel. read in the august

they are not successful, but they have the weapons that ... there is destruction, destruction is very, very strong, we are talking about cabs, 24/7, non-stop and incessantly in the direction of kurakhiv, and it is in kurakhiv that the occupiers are hitting right now, and we understand that it is difficult for both civilians and our defenders there. a little north on andriy polukhin, representative of the press service of the 24th separate mechanized brigade named after king lenyl, is now in touch with us in the kramatorsk direction. mr. andriy, thank you for joining, congratulations. glory to ukraine, heroes, congratulations, about your direction, about the kramatorsk direction, please tell me what you can share that will not harm our troops, what is the operational situation there now, what is happening there? our brigade is currently holding a site in the city of chasivyar, the front line

is now stable along the sivirskyi canal donetsk, our fighters use it as a defense. e enemy is very clearly visible on the approaches to the canal, also thanks to our aerial reconnaissance and the work of our unmanned systems, the enemy, it is difficult for the enemy to reach the canal itself and the positions of our guys. assaults occur almost every day, the city is actively bombarded with artillery and mortars, aviation is also used, our guys are receiving. the front line, the last months, this front line does not change, the defense is holding, but tell me, please, what is the situation in the time abyss itself, how many were according to the report, then they were denied that 40% of the time zone had already been captured by the occupiers, well , but we also heard from the military that the channel is holding them back very much,

please tell us in more detail, of course, if you can, which, which, which territory of the city they entered, 40, the number 40% was voiced by me by mistake, lazy, well, there is more territory. was not occupied, than it was a few months ago during the occupation of the neighborhood of the eastern part of the city, which is located just along the canal, from the bakhmut side, according to the data, get it 8%, but the exact figure must be calculated based on the area of ​​the city itself, the official area and the area of ​​this microdistrict, but somewhere up to 10% it is true that what gives them where they are... they will freeze, or on the contrary, it does not give them anything, and you, your comrades, successfully hold them back,

the terrain does not give them any tactical advantage, they practically destroyed that neighborhood, there is very limited shelter, this is what dictates their assault strategy now, they gather now small infantry groups that can hide in in the small remaining ruins that are there in that micro-paradise, they accumulate these forces and go to our positions in small groups of infantry to storm them, we have the advantage now in terms of defense in terms of defense just because of the channel, which is wide enough, enough his movements on that side can be seen, so the enemy has no advantage. what is there now, and why do they care, why is this settlement so important to them that it will give, that it will open? chasivyar

is located on a relief height, according to leveling with kostyantynivka, druzhkivka, kramatorsk and the viaducts that connect them, therefore chasivyar will be very strategic, it can become a strategic advantage for their artillery. can increase, the shelling of kostiantynka itself will increase, as well as druzhkivka, and kramatorsk, because there, well , there is actually a descent in all directions, and now even the enemy is actively shelling kostiantynka with long-range artillery, now he will reach it if they go closer , things will be worse, ugh, the city itself, how it looks now, how ruined it is, that the russians. used against the temporal yar? at the moment the city of chasiv yar is turning into any place that

russia tries to capture with their scorched earth strategy, they destroy all the buildings that prevent them from attacking and storming, and even though they are only a small percentage of the chasivr itself, still they shoot both to the center and to most of the residential areas. and they are practically destroying it, it is not yet possible to say that the city is destroyed, the city is completely destroyed, but it is very close to that, and the city is shelled by artillery, mainly fired with mortars, the enemy also uses unmanned drones to attack the city, according to the targets they find there, he also uses, at the moment less, but still used... aviation, guided aerial bombs, which he fires and destroys all the buildings are there, how much life is still there in the interim, how much population remains, we understand that if people have not

left by this point, then most likely they simply do not want to, and few will agree to go in the future, who is still there now ? and the last digit, which announced by the military-civilian administration, there were less than 500 people, the exact number , unfortunately, cannot be said, cannot be calculated, and these are mainly pensioners, these are mainly people who find it difficult to change something in their lives, i.e. move, build everything anew, er, also of course, maybe there are people who sympathize with the enemy, but er, at the moment, they suffer the most, they understand that these are military actions, and... many volunteers used to take people out of there and evacuate them, now the approach to the times of yaru very complicated because of work again tavi enemy drones that even they attacked

volunteers. and now evacuation is very difficult, if even people want to evacuate, it will be very difficult. you are talking about evacuation, what other services are working, working in the city, what can people get on the spot, i.e. how comfortable or uncomfortable are they and do volunteers have the opportunity to drive up, pick up something, what do they transport in such a case and how do they help? this is a very complicated task, but there is information that one of the humanitarian... to whom they could give food or basic necessities, very difficult access, but still volunteers can still drive through, could at the moment, and thus helped people, uh, and please also remind about those services that are working, because when we talk about the whole country, about those areas that are most

shelled, then by... and emergency workers, policemen, ambulances, energy workers to restore everything that the occupiers damage, does chasivyar have all these needs covered, or already there it is more difficult to get to everything fix and provide the necessary assistance? unfortunately, i will not give you exact information about the services, but you must understand that an evacuation was announced, the services were officially evacuated, from there, the services of the enterprise are communal, so it is very difficult to say exactly whether you... are leaving or not. at the moment, we can say that the ministry of emergency services is leaving to put out fires, or is there something else working there, i can't say, unfortunately, we understand that from the cities along the front line, not far from the front line, there is also a lot depends on providing for the needs of our military, i'm talking about some basic things like food, i don't know, clothes will just

be washed. one more thing, do you have such needs covered, do you have a place to get these services, how comfortable are you there, if we can talk about comfort on the front line? our area of ​​responsibility is located not so far from places where life still steals, where businesses are still open, where people can still provide such services, these are kostyantynivka, druzhkivka and kramatorsk in that number, therefore... uh, we don't have any such big needs, these, these cities have everything we need, also us, our brigade has long been serving in full-scale, and have experience in providing of these needs also independently, our volunteers helped us, the boys themselves purchased certain things that can be used at rest places, even if they are at some distance from the so-called

civilization. thank you for your service, thank you for being with us and for speaking so positively and optimistically about what you are all right there. andriy polukhin, a representative of the press service of the 24th separate mechanized brigade named after king danylo, was with us, you yourself heard that mr. andriy told us that people in need, military men, need some help and are looking for it in the vicinity, not far from those settlements in which they are located. and we still remember that, in addition to some basic physical needs, we must always provide for the needs of our military in weapons, and what our partners do not do, we do, i am talking about donating, we have 3,400 hryvnias left before so that there would be 1.5 million in the account for drones and slaves, so join the gathering, and now it is approaching 9:00, this hour when we remember and commemorate every day. of all

ukrainians and foreigners who died because the russian invaders attacked ukraine. a moment of silence. let's observe a moment of silence in memory of the ukrainian military and civilian citizens of ukraine who died in the war started by russia.
