the states, you will see the same in our hotel literally in a moment unconquered cities of ukraine zaporizhzhiae city of harsh metallurgists, famous engine builders and a powerful hydroelectric power station on the dnieper, it is also the cradle of the cossack race of ukraine, which never knelt before anyone zaporizhia cossacks defended ukrainian lands for centuries from the invaders during the war of liberation , the zaporizhia army fought for independence for the entire country in the second world war, the city withstood the soviet undermining of the dnieper river and the german occupation, and now zaporizhzhia is full of the cossack spirit as always indomitably stands in defense of ukraine zaporizhzhia is invincible greetings my name is yuriy fizer and as usual at this time on the espresso tv channel the world of ukraine program i am talking about the most important things that have happened in the past day in the world today will be in a slightly different format and that's why that i have a guest in the studio of the espresso tv channel, a very important person, a respectable person - this

. >> the head of the un's nuclear watchdog says he still has hope that a deal to protect ukraine's zaporizhzhiaower plant can be reached. it is now controlled by russian invaders and the international atomic energy agency's director general has been pushing for security around the plant to be increased to prevent a nuclear accident. he said this was likely to involve -- rather than a physical buffer. let's join our military and security analyst in london. welcome back to dw. what are the risks around zaporizhzhia that he is trying to avoid? >> it seems there has been a bit of fighting around the station recently, and there is concern that the area can become more vulnerable. therefore it is very important to in some way isolated from the fight, but it is very difficult, you don't have a neutral force to stop any kind of advances. i think that simply to have rules hoping the other side will enforce them is going to be tricky. but it's very good to highlight the risks and the dangers of some kind of accident or some kind of attack that would cause really massive sort of casualties if there is a l

really not the best, because a large part of them is still in the occupied the territory of ukraine , zaporizhzhiathe kherson region, but we managed to partially solve this issue with the help of alternative sources of storage in the form of such polymer sleeves . did not have the opportunity to store their grain, the spillway partially solved this problem, the trend for the next one indicates that those who will need it will also be able to use it this program will involve cooperation with our international partners to find funds and also purchase them and provide them on a free basis. as for the habibs, this is , let’s say, not a quick solution, because today it was really possible to take care of the creation of such dry elevators on the border of the western border of ukraine, but this is a big investment and it is very difficult today in the period of war to find these funds, but they are projects, all the more so we need to develop our logistics system to european capabilities, there are indeed such logistical hubs made it possible to speed up the increase in the amount of grain that could b

victor burlyk , a serviceman of the armed forces of ukraine, who is in the zaporizhzhia region, mr. viktor good morning good morning greetings to the studio greetings to ukraine, go somewhere already on some business, this is how i always managed zaporizhia time is very interesting, you should receive a lot, tell me how you are doing there in the zaporizhia direction, things are stable, uh, i explained enough, there is no such thing, because i was previously in the bahamian direction. there are cases where the position is out of hand even within one day to the bakhmutskyi on this one in the zaporizhzhia direction, thank god there is no such tendency. here , such a calm front is more worried, precisely because of the activities of the kupants, e-e, in this relatively occupied territory that is, what is happening there right now is quite serious well, what about the occupation processes, that is, the imposition of a russian passport , and how to open looting, we have a lot of people who are now fleeing from the occupied territory . the scale and there, up to the linoleum , is already b

which actually includes , so to speak, the russian offensive into the russian occupation of ukraine. in zaporizhzhia, squares are renamed and streets are renamed, this is the dead heroes , pure guys who fought and gave their lives from zaporizhzhia, this process is also going on in zaporizhzhia well , maybe there is some stereotype about what is here there are more people who sympathized with the soviet past there, in fact it is not like that zaporizhzhia is a cossack city, it is a ukrainian city and there is no resistance or reluctance to these changes in zaporizhzhia, just like in principle in the cities of the zaporizhzhia region, that is, in fact , everyone understands that this is a full-scale invasion , it is actually under capture this line was selected and these shades of gray are only black and white , in fact there is everything that is connected with the soviet past and the russian past, this is already bad, this is what is associated with blood and murder, there is what ukrainian is our future, towards which we must go and which you must strengthen and build today in zaporizhzhia , there

can't imagine myself without zaporizhzhia, and for me, ukrainian zaporizhzhia is, you know, once upon a time i had a dream . of ukraine it as a bee in zaporizhzhia and to share this because a huge number of people in zaporizhzhia needed it like air, and then when in the 14th i met a huge number of people whom i did not know at the dnieper dam on the dnieper dam, which was painted yellow and blue, because it seemed to us that everything is patriotic zaporizhzhia, we are all we know each other and you won't see anyone new about everything. in the 14th, when putin , this war criminal, first led his troops to the east of ukraine and took away crimea , then i felt that how many people we explained to whom we told who they were deaf to our arguments now understood and then i understood that my dream is that i will still live to zaporizhzhia in ukraine . here it is already in the 14th 22nd year as most of the russian-speaking people i talk to say we fell asleep on february 23 and woke up on february 24, that is, everything happened, unfortunately, so simply that it comes to us, our ukrainianness is so fully realized. and wha

"the new york times" tonight publishing audio intercepts of russians near the crash site coordinating efforts to retrieve drone debris from the sea that day. the russians heard saying they picked up parts of the nose, gas tank, and wing. the kremlin awarding those pilots medals. >> i have no idea why they would give a bravery award to a pilot who was, at best, just an idiot. >> david, a defiant move from president zelenskyy, visiting troops near the sea aged of bakhmut. the ukrainian forcesare still holding on. >> david:

called for immediate action, but russia, which launched a massive missile attack on ukraine and occupied the zaporizhzhia npp, rafael grossi did not mention in his speech how we can sit here in this room and allow this to happen, it cannot continue, i am amazed complacency what are we doing we are rich we have to take care of nuclear safety but every time we roll the dice if we let this continue then one day our luck will run out more than 30 countries called on russia return full control over the zaporizhia npp to ukraine, that is, all 27 countries of the european union, as well as, in particular, georgia, iceland, norway, and moldova. the statement states that russia violated the foundations of the guarantee of nuclear safety in the world with its aggression. the president of the united states, joe biden, proposed to allocate such an amount of dollars to support ukraine next year , the new york times reported about this - it is not yet clear how they plan to distribute these funds only for military or economic aid, also since the full-scale russian invasion, the united states has provided ukraine with

ukraine, killing at least six people. missiles struck residential buildings and knocked out the power supply to zaporizhzhia, europe's largestuclear power plant. although ukraine says the plant has now been reconnected to the power grid. in the capital kyiv, the mayor said 40% of residents are without heating following the bombardment. reporter: at dawn, smoke billows across kyiv's skyline. the ukrainian capital, just one of several regions hit by a barrage of russian missile strikes while people were sleeping. >> we woke up to a very strong explosion. it felt like it had struck the house next door or somewhere very close, but we did not immediately understand what it was. we ran into the corridor. >> i am fed up with it. i can't stand it anymore. how can they do this? how is this possible? they are not humans. i don't know what to call them. they are frightening the children. they are traumatizing them. reporter: at least five people were killed after a rocket struck houses in the lviv area. there were also reports of fatalities in the region of kherson. russian missile strikes also forced the zaporizhzhia nuclear power pla

another threatening direction for us is the south of ukraine, namely the zaporizhzhia region . there, the russians are defending themselves, but russia has been accumulating troops in the zaporizhzhia direction for quite a long time. e-e is building fortifications, they are trying to accumulate manpower and equipment there, by the way, the leadership of the ministry of defense of the russian federation even visited them there inspected, carried out formation reviews and checked readiness for offensive actions, but until the information about the offensive action in this direction did not reach me, this is the enemy , as far as it is said that the beekeeper turns all positions, he starts in one place , advances in another, then everywhere tries to feel for some weak points according to the colonel of the armed forces of ukraine vladyslav seleznyov , it is difficult to predict the main direction and the exact date of the new russian attack, but it will definitely happen because the insidious enemy has not changed his of the strategic goal of conquering our entire state, this coul

you thank you for this conversation, victor burlyk , a serviceman of the armed forces of ukraine in the zaporizhzhia, where so far everything is relatively calm and how much it can be. repaired more than 3,000 units of ukrainian armored vehicles that were damaged, these are armored personnel carriers, armored personnel carriers, these are tanks, almost half of them are tanks from this number of 1,507 units , that is, some have already been repaired 5-6 times. that is, these are tanks that receive damage and armored personnel carriers, armored personnel carriers, and then return to stryi again what is called, they write that even 90% of the equipment in the front-line area manages to be repaired, only some that are badly damaged have to be transported somewhere to the rear and even then restored after major repairs . well, in a word, these are the figures regarding losses ukrainian equipment, why are there still 100 mm, 122 mm, 152 mm projectiles are still needed, because a lot of that soviet equipment is being restored, it is still doing good service, and now let’s talk about what is happening in th

statement, the kremlin calls on the transfer of full control over the zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant to its rightful owner in ukraine as a result of russian shelling. the day before, the zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant was once again out of order and went into blackout mode. as reported by the energy agency , the last communication line temporarily occupied by the npp with the ukrainian energy agency was disconnected. system, and the fifth and sixth power units of the station arrived in a cold state, 18 diesel generators were turned on to meet the npp's own needs, as reported in the energy atom fuel for their work could last only for 10 days. and this, in turn, prevented the occurrence of a radiation accident dangerous for the whole world. i will remind you that during the temporary occupation of the zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant , the power supply to the zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant was restored in the sixth hour . she called missile strikes a war crime against the civilian population. on civilian objects of ukraine, the head of the european commission urged the derlyant foundation, commenting on the mass a

zaporizhzhia. glory to ukraine , dear mr. furbeko, we welcome you we are playing espresso on the air. congratulations , the enemy fired 57 times during the day on the positions of our defenders in zaporozhye. we would like to ask you about the operational situation on the line the front and around it, well, look every day the tense situation in the zaporizhzhia direction, the number of shelling actually does not decrease , and today the past day was full of shelling . it should be noted that the enemy attacked the civilian infrastructure practically in broad daylight. high-rise buildings of private houses , that is, there is an effort, you know, such chaotic shelling without aiming at any military facilities or something similar, they just hit the planes knowing what remains there there is still a large number of the local civilian population, that is, the situation every day in the zaporizhzhia direction, unfortunately, does not remain calm, but if we talk about the nature of hostilities, today the occupiers are still defending themselves, and these actions of theirs testify to , let

zelensky talked about the protection of the zaporizhzhia npp and its personnel , and through him confirmed his full support for the many nuclear facilities of ukraine, then rafael rossi went to the zaporizhzhia npp , there was a rotation of the magat mission in energodar. it was just a mistake in russia. well, i was not present about their conversation with the president on the dnieper river. i can say that since the 14th year , self-defense guys have caught various divers there from saboteurs who were trying to either blow it up or damage it. that is, this dniproges yes, it is an object of increased danger, but it is also very well guarded . and with regard to other energy objects, in particular , the nuclear plant, because we have the opportunity to receive it, the russians really want a demilitarized zone around it, but in fact it is a gray zone and simply secured themselves and er, well, it’s easy for them er to fire from the territory of the energy gift of the community, in particular , the dnipropetrovsk region, they exerted various pressures to try and are very angry that the mother did not give in to their pressure, we just remember in the

the energy system of ukraine, energoatom called on the international community to make every effort so that the occupiers withdraw their troops from the territory of the zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant and hand it over to the full control of ukraine. nauk, mr. oleksiy, our congratulations . i also congratulate you, let's start our conversation with a certain chronology. a few days ago, the minister of energy, herman galushchenko , said that the negotiations on corner un secretary general antonio guterres comes to us and offers participation in the united nations in these negotiations, and in particular he says that he is ready to join the united nations and is ready to offer his services for the protection and safety of the zaporizhia nuclear power plant. then we have another missile attack is again de-energized from the air force again. europe is worried, well, in particular, you can see this concern from the statement of france, which says that such a situation is unacceptable. and now, let's try to simulate the situation, how can we get out of this impasse, the president says that the way out is sanctions, powerful sanctions on the nuclear industry of the russ

can say how much time we need in order to bring the power units of the zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant into working order. ukraines preparing for a counteroffensive. perhaps in the south, what is needed in order to conduct a counteroffensive safely in this territory where the zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant is located? well, this is not our property. we are the commander, they are planning this operation and they were definitely killed so that it would be safe. and no one is going to attack there. from the station, after which it will be cleared, it will be transferred due to the fact that in fact all other territory around it will be controlled by the armed forces of ukraine , i can only imagine such a scenario for myself, maybe because of course normal people, our armed forces will certainly not fire and create a threat of damage to the steel material and from this new explosion in zaporizhzhia, there are 10 and the armed forces of ukraine are consulting with you about how to safely liberate this territory , well, the question is, you know, i would wet meh on него ответ answer but i think it's just not for luc

with our partners from stopfake, look carefully it's very interesting ukraine refuses to create a protective zone around zaporizhzhia russia has launched a new disinformation campaign about the npp. the kremlin media claim that ukraine is allegedly not ready to implement the iga initiative to prevent an attack from the territory of the power plant. in september, the general director of the iga initiated the creation of a protective zone around the zaporizhzhia npp. this proposal, which prevented the destruction of the plant, has not yet been implemented. ukraine unfortunately , the security situation is not ready for this, the situation escalated and became critical last year in august , when the kremlin military set up firing points at the nuclear plant and began use the stations for combat operations and shelling of ukrainian positions i call for the withdrawal of any troops and equipment from the plant and to avoid further deployment of forces or equipment at the site the facility cannot be used as part of any military operation instead an urgent agreement at the technical level is required on a safe perimeter of
