let me remind our viewers that zmiiny island has an area of ​​less than 0.2 m² and explain why it ist is so important for russia. it is really small in size, but the very location of this island is indicated by the fact that it occupies a key position precisely at the crossroads of the paths that go to the northern part of the northwestern part of the black sea, in addition, it allows control the underwater and surface air situation precisely in the area of ​​the island in this part of the black sea, and accordingly, this is the knowledge of all the movements that are there, and this is the possibility of quick response to changes in the situation that may occur in the western part of the black sea, well, russia constantly declares that ukraine has suffered and suffers great losses in an allegedly unsuccessful attempt to return the island, which they say ukraine is losing there, special forces, military planes, helicopters, drones , etc. ukraine insists that it is limited attacks on objects on the island, on boats, and so on, what is actually happening, how is this process of returni

there on the snake place that i said about, i hope it will be broken well, i will remind you that zmiinyust the same situation no longer about the above-water part, but the underwater part, because the shelf of the black sea is a lot and a promising story, finally, please, mr. sergey everything, if i'm honest , i'm very worried because, first of all, transnistria is nearby, an occupied part of moldova. with subversive groups, everything is fine in terms of the fact that they are detained, they are counted, and well enough, well, quite a lot, so to speak, was introduced into our everyday life, including life, but at all levels , counter-sabotage work is now taking place. believe me, and not at the everyday level, too, because the characters are very interesting then they come across when they start to check the special services in accordance with the current legislation and telephones and communications and very interesting facts surface now several such persons are conducting operative investigative work accordingly and i always in such situations, i want to thank our security service of

can at any moment block the movement of civilian ships in all directions to the south of ukraine, zmiiny island is the territory of ukraine we will de-occupy it and fight for it for as long as we need. this is a strategically important point in order to open trade sea routes, weapons and teach russia any possible military actions on the territory of the transnistrian moldavian republic with which they can attack the western part of ukraine kirilobudanov chief of the land defense of ukraine and besides, the head of the main intelligence directorate of the ministry of defense of ukraine kyrylo budanov declares that the turning point in the war with russia will come in august and by the end most of the killings will end by the end of the year. he made this statement in an interview with the sky news channel. he is convinced that ukraine will return all the territories occupied by russia, including the donbass and crimea well, while the russian occupiers are attacking the front line in zaporizhzhia in the direction of gulyaipol and orichov, they are attacking with all available weapons, incl

russian ships that destroyed our submarines baryakhtar tb-2, this is one of the images we can see zmiinyhe second image we can see one of the er piers in front of which the russian paratrooper is sunk and budanov's statement confirms the importance of maintaining control over this island. defense to this island, they dragged with their landing ships two anti-aircraft defense armor complexes and one cake - this is a complex that provides an umbrella there at a distance of 20 km above the island and this the operation was possible due to the fact that it was covered by russian fighter jets. i think that they will continue to drag a ship complex like the bal complex there and against it, and now i think that the appropriate move should be on the ukrainian side to once again use our baryakhtars to destroy the next batch of fascists on the island with a snake and these shells and tur, what about the coastguards, the baryakhtar can carry out the destruction of complexes at a longer range than these anti-aircraft guns can work. we just need to correctly find the place of attack with an overview

member countries present in the black sea basin of free navigation for ukraine, we understand that zmiinyand is not only about russia placing its radio-electronic means and anti-aircraft systems there and so on whether defense or attack, zmiiny island is also about the coastline of our waters, and we understand that because of the montreux convention , the ships of the fleets of which countries are not located there in the black sea basin, but there are two powerful states, it is meant romania and bulgaria are members of nato and, accordingly, maybe they could somehow participate in the unblocking of our port city. well, let's go to odessa. that's how we understand. at one time, the british defender showed the russians who crimea really is. you're right. i i think they took into account the military and political situation in the black sea region, i will not go into the details of what kind of negotiations are being conducted or can be conducted in all areas, because the black sea is the sea of ​​at least three nato countries er, turkey in bulgaria and romania er, but the mandra conventio

news from any which corner of ukraine is occupied by the enemy, even from such a small island as zmiiny are disclosing military operations, but we are fighting for every piece of our land, including for the snake, what thank you, mrs. natalya, yes, yes, thank you very much for this inclusion, uh, the chief of the center of the defense and security forces of the south was included in the live broadcast before us, yes, and maybe we will tell a little about it. i liked it . she joked a little about what she was saying. she says well, you can say that they are trying to dispose of it as quickly as possible, i imagine that they sent such russian military psychologists well, of course there is a psychologist, of course i do not believe it well, actually, suddenly psychologists wrote to raise the moral not so that how the mood of the guys is very bad , if it is already impossible. okay, then there will be a lion in the black bike. well, they will be disposed of there right away. well, there really should be a reason for a good mood in russians, there should be very little, in fact , and we see

is happening in the occupied crimea and the map has been laid, as they say the federation sent to zmiiny island returned alive eight bodies, the rest were sent to sevastopol this was reported in the main intelligence department of the ministry of defense of ukraine from zmiiny island from the forty communications of the armed forces of the russian federation, eight returned alive , another ten were evacuated, and today the sevastopol military hospital is full of wounded soldiers due to the large number of wounded in the territory of crimea, a campaign is actively being conducted for blood donation, while the donation takes place without any medical documents and examination. well, illegal mobilization so far this is very hidden, both on the territory of the entire russian federation and on the territory of the ukrainian territories currently occupied by it , so far there is not enough courage or about it there is too much fear in the russian leadership to announce it like this publicly stand up people's country , as for kharkiv, american analysts are already saying that we have repelled

so i will simply kill you there on may 6-7 such interesting events took place near the island of zmiinyan forces destroyed several boats, russian helicopters, in fact , i won’t now, i won’t recalculate it for the next day, literally on may 8, the russians said that there was an unsuccessful attempt to land ukrainian troops there, and in turn, as if they broke up, but it looks like now that snake island will at least remain a neutral territory where there will be no forces, he didn’t leave, they don’t continue the landings directly on the territory of snake island , why well, if we talk now about the events on may 7, on may 8 , they once again said that they had destroyed a mi-8 helicopter on the territory of the snake island. the video showed that it was supposedly ukrainian helicopters, but i note that the armed forces of ukraine are not armed with mi-8 helicopters amtsha modifications amtsh it was precisely a russian helicopter, and therefore the manipulation that is used now by russian propaganda, they are completely inappropriate. and regarding the snake island - this is true. or we

general of the armed forces of ukraine, oleksiy gromov, announced the possibility of a naval landing on zmiinynd chernobaivka there the battle is real. the battle for this island, meanwhile, from the side of so-called transnistria, their army stands in full combat equality, what is going on there? in the complex. that is, it must be the advance of the enemy through the land from mykolaiv along the coast or through voznesensk by rail in the direction of odessa, and only in this case can we consider the possibility of a sea landing. after all, we must not forget that the amphibious means of the russian fleet was dealt a fairly serious blow and to date the amphibious capabilities of this amphibious group of the russian navy have been reduced by almost 50%, as far as the army is concerned. well, you made a very strong complex - a compliment to the armed forces of the so-called transnistrian moldavian republic, because in fact the maximum that they can accumulate is approximately 7.5 thousand soldiers, well, you can put under uh, big sad ones in combat ability and motivation uh, regarding willingne

particular russia, which has built two of its bases there, and russia also has a certain mega island of zmiinys, they have bases there where they can not only terrorize the syrian people, but also influence middle eastern politics in general, in particular the state of israel yes, yes. another story, er, israel and iraq. this connection is very interesting. is there any confrontation in this direction in the near future, because analysts agree that it will be quite problematic to avoid it. a story about the so-called international terrorism well, actually prepare what do you think in soviet times, that is, there were certain legions, so to speak, of arab revolutionaries, yes, and in the current situation it can be extremely dangerous, first of all, for israel, and here it is clear. why is israel sometimes such an ambivalent position in those situations when it should defend, for example, the truth, which consists in protecting our ukrainian interests, and here in israel it is very, very difficult, but i will remind you that you remarked about such a balanced position of israel regarding the ru

the name is not revealed at the moment, managed to get out from russian captivity, the head of the zmiiny island border guard bohdan gotskyi said on the air of the national telethon that thank you very much for your attention andriy saichuk and maria gurska conducted this part of our telethon for you and after the radio svoboda program, wait for vasyl it's already winter at 7:00 p.m. wait for the main final news broadcast and the big broadcast with the president. we'll see you soon. greetings, this is freedom. my name is vlad and lazur. we pray on the pages of radio svoboda on facebook and youtube, as well as on the air of the tv channel. espresso, we are now talking about viktor medvedchuk's new testimony regarding petro poroshenko, the situation in sumy oblast, where there are ongoing attempts to break through the border, and the economic forum in davos, which has started today. russian soldier vadim shishimarin , accused of murdering a civilian resident of sumy oblast, was sentenced to life imprisonment. the court found him guilty of violating the laws and customs of war. radio svoboda

refuse to our gunners there in any way questions a month in a certain year, we understand that it is zmiinyat can be used as a bridgehead during an offensive or in the event of an offensive on belgorod-dniester and izmail. so, we understand that the russians can try to go this way, well, trying to attack odessa not from the east, not from the front across the sea, so to speak say, through the southwest and the island, change the key observation point here, and they wanted to strengthen it and raise it there, they brought air defense equipment there, but thank god, you know, i want to say what was the impression of the destruction of a small barge in russian the day before yesterday when the officer on duty of the syrbavcheyoks could hear it, and then they filled it up and said our destruction of russian uh-uh uh-huh military units, you already know that, thank god yes, it looks like this is becoming a routine matter while sipping on the combat duty of the teacups, they filled them up and sent them to the bottoms to feed, i wanted to ask you today, may 9, we celebrate the lend-lease victory

volodymyr zelenskyi , president of ukraine. passage near the island of zmiiny received a signal from the russians with a demand to leave the alleged territorial waters of the russian federation, otherwise it will be weapons were used, although it is visible on the edge that something is moving in the waters that are considered ukrainian by international agreements, russia has blocked almost all ports and all maritime export opportunities of ukraine, therefore our country does not reject the military way of unblocking ukrainian ports, president volodymyr zelenskyi said this 22 million tons of grain are blocked today and the russians continue to steal grain and also constantly take it somewhere, these routes must be unblocked or there will be a food crisis in the world, the president emphasized, if we do not unblock for we will not help the countries of africa, the countries of europe and the countries of asia that need exactly these food products and therefore can be unblocked in different ways, so here is one of the ways, it is military portugal will provide ukraine with about 250 mi

russian rotorcraft, the ukrainian military managed to capture zmiiny island with the help of the famousne called the new chernobyl for the russian nazis, the day before, our soldiers destroyed an enemy serna- type boat and two raptor-type boats, and another one was seriously damaged, in addition , 46 russians were removed from the crew and landing party, already 25 and a half thousand russians died on ukrainian soil in a day of loss of personnel the enemy has increased by 400 soldiers and loses attackers and equipment. and this is more than 1,100 tanks, 2,700 armored fighting vehicles and almost 2,000 vehicles. in addition, our defenders shot down 199 aircraft, 156 helicopters and 92 cruise missiles, the enemy lost to the occupiers, even on the water, another ship of the invaders went to the bottom, but these data are not final, the general staff emphasizes that the calculation is complicated by constant battles , the most important person in life in ukraine celebrates mother's day, traditionally it falls on the second sunday of may the holiday was started in the united states, and it w

bratchuk korechnyk informed us of the operational headquarters of the defense of the odesa region, zmiiny island has turned into a naval battleground today, where ukraine continues to beat the enemy systematically and, uh, actually inflicts significant losses on the enemy, and uh, despite this, the probability of missile attacks and shelling of the south remains high, as reported in the operational command of the south er, this was actually caused by the symbolism of knowing dates and the fierce revenge of the enemy for our victories, it concerns our entire country, not only er, the south, not only odeshchyna, and therefore everyone we call on the ministry of defense and the national security and defense council these days to be especially careful not to ignore sirens, to ignore air alarms and to be in storage during the alarms, at the same time we see that radio svoboda’s program of the scheme reports that the satellite records the withdrawal of military equipment , in particular, the anti-aircraft missile forces of the russian army to the north of the occupied crimea to the village of f

, in new russian, we understand this , but for what purpose do you think they chose the island of zmiinyvulnerable well, if take into account the power of our artillery and our missile capabilities. that's why they chose it as a stronghold. that is, this is preparation for the south-western landing, does this mean liman izmail belgorod-dniestrovskyi or are they there on to the snake, they wanted to develop their air defense system and really put some possible missile launchers, both of these versions have the right to life, they both look like the truth and it is really possible that this preparation for planning an amphibious operation is in the very water area that was now called and the borders were painted in the same way, and anti-aircraft defense is really after moscow, there is no one to cover the black sea fleet, that is why all these tasks are really in the plans of the enemy. i hope that our armed forces will succeed in these plans and in the future to break i don't like jokes on yours, but during the war you have to joke sea chornobayvka should catch up with the achievements o

everyone understands yesterday's sinking of two raptor boats near zmiiny island, but it lost controlt sea. therefore, you can definitely think about some threats there, you can definitely miss that before using weapons, which, by the way, i also believe e- putin will try the most absurd option, including with any military operation from the territory of transnistria, to look for a voltovych in ukraine, but the implementation of all this already proves that any plans, they end in failure if putin and his generation are engaged in it, it was proved in kyiv - it is proven now in the east it was proved in the south thank you volodymyr omelyan minister of infrastructure of ukraine 16-19 years diplomat in direct communication with our channel thank you for participation now we will hear, we will see taras berezovets, a political technologist, a journalist, our colleague is simply a very interesting, intelligent person. he said that hyper had jewish blood, he said it in an interview with italian tv companies, medisse madness, direct speech, volodymyr zelensky puts forward an argument that c

how to say, first the russians were the zmiiny island, and now the ukrainians decided a little bit, theythe ukrainians decided to put some order there, and now you will first see what the ukrainian zsu named after zaluzhnyi is doing with the snake island where the russian woman irina is sitting, please show us this video, let us admire it here, everything will be fine for you of course , these were the same boats before that, they were circling there, there are no more boats, but 30 of them immediately. i want to show you today there was a report about a sunken frigate, what can you call a frigate, well, there are two or three of them in russia, something like that, in my opinion, 3 of this project moreover, it is a fairly new year, 2016. so, yes, ira says, ira, you are an evil person. putin will not love you. irina says that now there is not one less, which means that you will now see this admiral makarov shot by the turks. and this means that admiral makarov is preparing katrytsatelnomu splytyu i'm speaking correctly, yes, here is a negative spark, yes, this is called preparatory work,

therefore now they already call it the zmiiny island, you know, the sea chornobayvka, the snake islandalled and there’s another one, you know. well, i’ve already started to talk about it briefly, i’ll say there is such a moment, you know, this is the song soviet island luck er, there is something in the ocean, they say, now we understand what kind of island it is, it is snake island. well, you can already see the poppy, we will only have it tomorrow on the day of reconciliation and remembrance, and now i will say one decision right away that it is a western tradition to wear it not only on the day of commemoration yes, there are different days when this poppy is worn and the day of the end of the first world war, and here is may 8, and i usually see that people in the west wear it a week before, so i also decided to remind that we commemorate that we defeated fascism and let's beat rashiza well, by the way, maybe not as much as we would like to quickly, but in russia, after all, opinions are changing, here is the research group russianfeld, well, as i understand the russian field , tog

of modern cruise missiles of the russian federation, also our naval chornobayivka, the island of zmiinyts were destroyed there, one raptor is already the third damaged, and a small amphibious boat that can on its own was also destroyed up to 90 paratroopers can be on board it, and also at night today, an enemy helicopter was destroyed along with the crew and the landing party, we have such achievements, we have otaku problems, i say again that unfortunately, i think that the worst forecasts may come true and the enemy will continue. he cannot fight. how is it normal for the world's army to converge, as they say, in the field, they shoot around the corner, shoot rockets, that's why this is the situation, but we are holding on and are confident in our victory, mr. sergiu, these days 8-9 extended curfew continues in may. what other means are used, what are you waiting for? warns the ministry of defense and the national security and defense council and about the increased risk of missile attacks on the one hand, on the other hand, says that russia can send its saboteurs to to resort to all

intelligence department i remind you that the russian military did not publicly report its losses on zmiinysend economic and political isolation of russia continue the supply of weapons to ukraine and work on reducing the global food shortage caused by the war, the foreign ministers of the g7 countries agreed on this after meeting on the baltic sea, top diplomats from great britain and canada, germany, france, italy , japan and the usa also promised to fight against russian disinformation, and the key to increasing pressure on russia was called a ban or phased refusal of the purchase of russian oil by eu member states. ukraine offers the g7 countries to create a country organization -grain exporters, the proposal was voiced by the minister of agrarian policy of ukraine mykola solskyi during a conference with colleagues in stuttgart, germany, the organization has to respond to threats to food security and e- security, to set maximum grain export volumes to stabilize prices and predictability of the market, as well as to develop a mechanism for distributing excessive residues of agricultural

them, and we understand that this is also connected with a similar sea warship around the island of zmiinywhere are our guys ? worked hard, gave the enemy a rough patch and showed that until the victory of ukraine, which will be there, we don’t even doubt that the island will either be ukrainian or uninhabited. and can we talk about the results of this rough patch for the russians? the fact that a small amphibious assault boat was destroyed and won in its port to transport an amphibious assault ship about 90, if accurate according to the technical characteristics, 92 paratroopers plus crew members were also destroyed, two raptor boats were also damaged, that is, we already have four in fact three were destroyed by him and damaged by the way. by the way, this is the type of map of the landing projection 117-70 according to the russian numbering. he also translated the storm missile complex at his port. the extensive work of our aviators - it would interfere with our anti-aircraft defense force went to the bottom well, actually we also have the destruction of enemy helicopters with the landi

question, i was just thinking and knowing that there are deposits of oil or gas in the area of ​​zmiinyse deposits belong territorially, if romania romania is a member of nato, and do you know that there are some consultations between ukraine and romania, and we have not always had perfect relations, but on the other hand, it is beneficial for the romanians, too, if we could keep this serpentine territory as an open territory for everyone so that every boat could pass by and so that the romanians and the ukrainians can extract oil or gas there or something, are such consultations possible and are they already underway? well, first of all, i want to say that romania fully supports us now in the struggle for independence and territorial sovereignty, it is completely on our side, ah, and well, because of its logistics structure, it is carried out . a long time ago, but it was resolved in a civilized manner, and everyone there fully understood that which part of the shelf belongs to ukraine, which part belongs to romania, and indeed ukraine and romania planned to start the development of th

installations . the russians were unable to use their fleet to arrange missile launches from the black sea , zmiinyis important for them, if possible close to the mainland to prepare military operations, this is part of their plan to invade from the sea and also the snake sign is located in the zone of the so-called blockade of sea trade routes, so it is important, but it is vulnerable to air strikes, this is a correspondent of bibisya albi and shutria, who monitors operational information and supplements of british development released new data on the situation in the russian armed forces in london believe that in the first three months of the war in ukraine, russia probably lost as many dead as the soviet union during its nine-year war in afghanistan led to such a high level of casualties, a combination of poor tactics, an inability to seize the advantage in the sky and a lack of flexibility and a command approach, and casualties continue to rise . the transport will work from tomorrow, the underground will also work, the truth is that the situation is complicated by the fact that the metro in kh

this is my personal point of view now absolutely but military-political when they say not about the zmiiny, but on the other hand , volodymyr zelenskyi is talking about the fact that there will be american jet fire systems there, speaking from the office of the president and what to do with it, everything is fine and everything is good. let's do the math distance well, for example, from the odesa region to the island of the snake. so this is the question of the fact that the russians are already pulling air defense systems there and are trying to create a certain base there, this is one of the ways to solve the problem in my opinion. well, of course, no one rejects the diplomats, although to actually talk with moscow well, i don't know how to talk there, i don't want to offend anyone with the blind and the deaf and what do you think, in principle, about the situation in odesa itself, how stable can it seem in this situation? many people are worried, i have already answered it, there are no factors for them to want this situation to be unstable, they talked about certain factors between eth

the moment, it was managed to be taken out of russian captivity, the head of the border outpost, zmiinyskyi said in broadcast of the telethon of the nation. thank you for your attention. andriy saichuk and maria gurska conducted this part of our telethon for you, and after the radio svoboda program, wait for vasyl zima already at 19:00 . president, we will see you. that's how greetings are freedom. life my name is vlad and lazur. we pray on the pages of radio svoboda on facebook and youtube, as well as

sergey, there is always little time and in communication with sergey zgurets, we did not talk about zmiiny also very interesting things happening there, but about this. a minute of silence for all ukrainians who died in this war in russia's war against ukraine for civilians for our soldiers for our defenders heroes of the armed forces of ukraine after that we go to the news and then we will return to the studio now a moment of silence for espresso we will honor the memory of the ukrainian military and peaceful citizens of ukraine

for small purposes, for example, on the 10th boats that transport the anti-aircraft complex to zmiiny is simply not profitable, and we are talking about the harpoon missile, which in general it has a range and from the point of view of use for combat operations maybe we have an infographic now and we we will just reinforce your words visually so that the viewer can see exactly what this harpoon can do if it reaches ukraine a-a um we are talking about a region 124 km from the coast line, this is if you take the missile that a-a is in service, these are the data it is block 2 but there are certain very such moments that now the usa is testing and supplying a harpoon missile with an extended range of up to 280 km, and let the general staff of the russian federation guess what kind of missile they will give us to these harpoon complexes, or the one that hits at 124 km, or at least there will be several rockets that hit at 280 km and so hmm yes please please finish exactly the position, well, in my opinion, lower down lviv directly from the sochi embankment well, by the way, about the rock
