bbc broadcast, we analyze what happened at the front and what forecasts what to expect next ukrainian armed forces proved themselves in battles of strategic importance, we recall the key events of the 1,000 km long front, what weapons are needed by the ukrainian army to fight back the russian offensive and when we have ukrainian food, some countries in the world are threatened with starvation. russia blocks ports and exports stolen grain . if in the first days of the russian attack, the west predicted the inevitability of the fall of kyiv in a matter of days and the capture of ukraine in a matter of weeks, then after three months of war, some western leaders begin to talk about the inevitability of the ukrainian victory kyiv has withstood ukraine has withstood the ukrainian armed forces have been restraining russian aggression for the fourth month, while russia, after the failed bali ic, now has concentrated its forces in donbas and is trying to seize the entire region ukraine has secured the support of western countries from them it receives powerful weapons that can radically change the situatio

but for the time b, ukrainian armed forces continue to control a part of several of the nets. and of course, ukrainian forces are in other parts of the dorm bosses well. but given the scene there, as you've described the intense fighting, there must be immense civilian suffering. we're seeing this in the images. does ukraine have a plan to try to save and prevent some of the civilian suffering? we've seen other places in ukraine from happening again in survey or don't ask for your pray in human life has always been a top priority. and of course, we are doing everything we can to alleviate suffering and to how peaceful citizens in those areas which are now struck by the address the same time ukraine has to defend itself. we cannot give our land to the address without resistance. so from this perspective, we will continue. this is what we have said from the very 1st day of this aggressive war against you, right? we have a constitutional duty to defend our territory, to restore our thorough integrity. and the only thing that we need now actually is more have to work and re from ou

well, first of all, how the ukrainian armed forces will demonstrate themselves on the battlefield, because i will note one more interesting comment to the military specialists from britain noted that they were amazed at the speed with which the ukrainian armed forces mastered these approaches and learned new techniques, and this speed was even greater than when the unification of germany took place, and the armed forces of east germany were actually nato standards that were in west germany, that's why we have a lot of positives here and we will work on them in principle every day . i think that when we defeat russia, this argument will be made of reinforced concrete . thank you, mrs. yuliya yuliya osmylovska expert of international relations, the head of the board of the transatlantic dialogue center was in touch with us. well, right now we are moving on to the promised topic. and what does ukraine get as a result of the third ramstein , namely the meeting of the e-e contact group on the defense of ukraine, and it has just been crowned in the press conference of the secretary general of na

coordination with the partisan movement accurate hits of the armed forces of ukraine, this is precisely the result of the coordinated actions of the ukrainiane occupied kherson region and the armed forces of ukraine and accurate hits by the armed forces of ukraine, this is the latest trend of the last months of the orcs, and they are really responding, you know, despite the fact that we have already had tactical victories for the second week , but the orcs will still try to counterattack, they they want to win back those positions where our armed forces have advanced, we are moving forward, they want to restore all this, they are definitely pouring in ar, but uh, this orta is flying chaotically, our armed forces are acting in the exact opposite way, we are shooting, cutting, but we are shooting clearly at the target and these clear hits are just hitting the enemy and those official e-e data that we see from the side of the ministry of defense of the armed forces of ukraine are accurate hits exactly on orks on tanks on ammunition exactly in the positions they flaunted on three levels of defense and we are very accurate we knock them out of t

of air defense of the armed forces of the russian federation, so let's still let's be rational and er for ourselves to determine those goals that are a priority for the ukrainian forces, we will be able to hit these goals en masse. that means ah, vlad, and briefly evaluate, please, uh, today we are summarizing the meeting of the defense ministers the so-called rammstein 3, and your thoughts about the meeting that took place the day before, did you feel any things or statements or messages that could help us in the future and get some weapons? well, first of all, what impressed almost 50 countries of the world m-m e-e community rammstein will remind our viewers that anti- gitelevskaya korytsya in the 45th year still counted 52 member countries of the relevant coalition. now we have almost 50, and of course we heard a lot of loud statements, but as a result, ukraine gets 18°, 155- 36,000 artillery shells of the appropriate calibre, an unspecified number of missiles to the russian federation of the himaries class is a wonderful thing, but the aspirations and expectations of the ukrainian armed forces are somewhat different from the figures offered to us by the co

he says that the ukrainian armed forces are already 20 km from kherson and already in kherson itselfe cannonade, you understand, and then roman kostenko appears and says, well, calm down , please. well, let's not mistake wishful thinking for reality. what he thought about the sums, well, it is definitely worth noting here that when choosing between these two sources, we choose mr. roman unequivocally and we strive for such data, but information is information, it is confirmed, not what if there was an emotional component yes, and what is happening in fact and a full-scale process is underway, and in fact we have the fact that it is clearly getting closer to kherson, and the position of the zaporizhzhia region remains unchanged, no matter how it sounds there , it's just that uh, as a lot of information appeared the day before, we are the chief collaborators their and their methods were distributed there, their theses that here in zaporizhzhia they will collect unequivocally and the like, but this is not happening and will not happen because he is coming of age, they included oleksandr

of this enterprise, unlike mariupol, which is about 40% of the city now controlled by the ukrainian armed forcesuation is not too. well, not too critical, but he said that there are many people without rotation . fresh units of the ukrainian armed forces , and what do you think about the operational situation there in the very place? well, mr. petro kuzyk, the truth is that there is some kind of discovery, i expressed my caution here that if we say that we will not repulse tolkin if we manage to go back, then this can create when we for our troops, indeed, if our troops still get some portals there, but it is obvious that this just demonstrates the high qualities of our defenders, but it will reach the russian infantry. but on the other hand, if there is an opportunity to bring the troops to rotation they need to be let down, otherwise the situation can still worsen. i also wanted you to comment on the words of the chief of the general staff of britain and patrick sanders. he said that the british army should, quote, prepare to fight in europe once again in order to defeat russia, many experts h

carried out several airstrikes against the enemy, the command of the air force of the armed forces of the ukrainianed forces reports, in particular, ukrainian fighters attacked the enemy tactical group and they also destroyed one district of the occupiers in the dilapidated area, in addition, not in vinnytsia, they found a rashi cruise missile, the caliber of which is at the end of may, they shot down our anti- aircraft defense equipment, minus another 246. in a day, the russians continue to fertilize the ukrainian land, almost 34.5 thousand invaders lost their lives in the war, ukrainians continue to crush and to predict the equipment, it is already one and a half thousand tanks, 750 artillery systems, 3,600 combat vehicles , enemy losses are increasing, and in the air yesterday , another helicopter was shot down. 183 of them have already been landed also more than 600 russian drones, the enemy suffered the biggest losses in the direction of bakhmut, the general staff reports and reminds that these data are approximate, a 54-year-old man threw a grenade at children, the last one intoxicated threw

which we all returned joyfully to him here is nu but but but they are holding on holding on ukrainian armed forces are holding on ukrainian armed forces are holding on slavs are holding on civilly for collection help is constantly provided as a civilian forcefully from the side of the military it was a truck driver it was arranged they provided aid to the civilian population with their cars with their barrels on the contrary civilian the population helps the military as much as possible, accommodates food and water itself, somewhere there are some uh, cleanings, cleaning, etc. well, we work here, too, which is one big family, very, very big family, as for the war, you you know, it has entered a different phase, now it is more of a radio-electronic intelligence because those guns that came from america are called three sevens, they are called three axes in the military, they are extremely powerful, they give us a great advantage, but they are constantly being hunted by drones and they are searched for and constantly go shelling therefore, now the war has moved from the stage when we were fighting h

resistance on air bbcineus ukraine in the studio olga melchevska in the armed forces of the ukrainianed forces confirmed the fierce fighting in north donetsk, now in the industrial zone the ukrainian armed forces report about attack on the russian garrison on snake island assessment of the situation on the fronts russia threatens lithuania due to the ban on transit to kolingrad the russian foreign ministry has summoned the eu ambassador netrebko is speaking tentatively behind the scenes missiles are being prepared to attack ukraine in the armed forces of ukraine confirmed the strikes on the russian garrison on snake island and the russians suffered significant losses were announced in the operational command of the south, but which ones were not specified, the military operation is ongoing and needs an information flow before its completion, the military explained, and confirmed the strikes in odesa the regional military administration of the ministry of defense of russia stated that the russian troops repelled the ukrainian attack, which i quote none of the fire weapons of the ukrain

understand that the resistance does not stop and there is faith in our armed forces of ukraine, our state, ukraine, that ukrainianhood will return to the territory of ukraine and our heroic armed forces of ukraine will be able to defend our melitopol and the occupied part of the zaporizhzhia region, so the enemy is doing this in order to put despair in the heads of our residents, but nothing will succeed because we did not expect them on february 24 and we are not waiting for them and now a-a propaganda and the targeted planting of this russian mantra into the head, this is the work that the enemy is doing, and unfortunately, our people are disillusioned in our leaders, but as soon as the weapons of the ukrainian forces are acquired to our melitopol or to in any temporarily occupied place, we will definitely see thousands of people on the streets with ukrainian flags, there is information from the center of national resistance, in particular, that on september 11 in the kherson and zaporizhzhia regions they plan to hold a so-called referendum, in your opinion, this is an attempt to push through the donbas scenari

will strengthen the connection with the eu, ukrainian soldiers defend the country of the ukrainian armed forcestwo investigators of the ukrainian armed forces, side by side, document the crimes of the occupiers, the guilty will be punished, operatives are looking for saboteurs, they will be identified collaborators, those crimes, we have a statute of limitations on collaborators and war criminals , report them at 044 327:07 together we will win unconquered cities of ukraine dnipro, the space capital of ukraine with the longest embankment in europe and the shortest subway was created in the place of the cossack landowners, nicknames and freedoms, the lessons of the hitler occupation , they all shot from 17 to 21,000 jews in the dnipro after the expulsion of the nazis, remained under the attack of enemy aircraft, but did not stop working for victory, as it does not stop, and now it is the first to meet those fleeing from the war and in spite of everything reliably holds the rear of the dnipro people just space and dnipro unconquered by those who went with nothing to nowhere we lost the house of f

and this is also an optimistic signal, because it is necessary to understand that today the ukrainian armed forcesarmed with soviet-style weapons, and we understand that soviet-style weapons and ammunition are mostly left in the russian federation, that is, in some countries of the former warsaw pact, they also have them, and we are now trying to just choose them, but you need to understand that this is, firstly, quite a long time for these tools, and secondly, they are not so modern, so i hope that for the results of this meeting will not only result in military and technical assistance , which is really needed today to solve current military problems, but also in the general modernization of the ukrainian army, which is also a huge step forward, the fact that it will not happen as quickly as we would like and it will be as fast as er, well, the ukrainian authorities emphasize this. well, yes, but it is better than nothing. and it is still a positive dynamic, it is also a great achievement of ukraine in the foreign policy arena, you know that this kind of association with nato without becoming a

mourning, knocking on it, that russia, because i see that the tactics and the strategy of the ukrainian armed forcesn generalship is like this. i would call it the scythian shukhevich strategy. thousands of cuts, the results of which are simply exhausting the enemy. well, in the same way, oun-upav fought during the second world war, so russia has already exhausted itself to a certain extent on your tolga, from your point of view, we can say about some stabilization of the front in the sense of what we are all talking about now artillery duels, this means that the manpower from our side does not move or moves very limited, this means some stabilization of the front and a rethinking of further actions, er, some pause may occur. am i wrong or not? ivan, in fact, the ukrainian army which, like the russian one, is post-soviet , based mainly on soviet equipment, it differs to a large extent, and we actually have this parity now in the military struggle, the actual confrontation is not due to the number of weapons, which, as we can see, in russia, there are significantly more cartridges and of this post-so

achieve much of their results, in fact, we know this did not happen because ukrainian soldiers ukrainian armed forcestry in such a way that does not allow russia to actively advance on ukrainian territory, in the same way lavrov in his interview stated about the alleged presence in the armed forces of ukraine of special narcotics that allow ukrainian soldiers not to feel pain and to so actively and so fearlessly defend ukrainian lands, the nazis in ukraine use narcotic drugs that leave them unable to experience fear i express this kind of lie to some unknown blogger or anonymous telegram channel, and i repeat myself as an official person who can speak on behalf of the state at all international platforms. it is about protecting our earth from the aggressor, as well as lavrov once again lied about the alleged staging of the massacre in buch, how the russian army will arrange it, there are many facts proving the staging in buch - west categorical he does not want to discuss them, lavrov said , everyone has long been convinced that these atrocities were committed by the russians, this is indicated by bo

but as you mentioned, despite the situation on the ground, we've heard from the ukrainian armed forces do not see an immediate withdrawal at least at this stage. they continue with their counter owe fechffensive and their atte push the forces back. and we heard from president zelenskyy speaking yesterday during his daily address and he suggested some small signs of progress on the ground. take a listen. >> translator: the situation in donbas has not changed significantly in a day. we have some successes in the battles for severdonetsk but it is too early to tell. it is the hardest area we have now. >> reporter: and taking a cautionary tone, the situation on the gound is extremely difficult as we've heard, that constant bombardment by the russian armed forces. but we heard from luhansk military administration yesterday, he said that the ukrainian armed forces in severdonetsk had taken some russian troops captive, that they continue to hold the western edges of the city. but also acknowledging that now the russian troops are in control of the majority of the city. at least around 80%. an

this part, then they can close with raisin sides and sides of the liman and then in fact the ukrainian armed forces will have logistics for the replenishment of weapons and soldiers in a few days pavlograd e pokrovsk e posadimivka druzhkivka kramatorsk sloviansk e well and there further, thank you marchenko on krasnohorivka, in fact, if today still, uh, on this side, the ring may be uh, closed, it won't be a complete encirclement, but it will put serious enough pressure on sloviansk and further on, on kramatorsk, on that side, of course, a huge battle is going in bahmut svitlodarsk today, unfortunately, it is under the control of muscovites, and we remember that the bulyhirskaya chp plant was there just a few days ago. last week, the slavyanska chp plant in mykolaivka stopped working, that is, as of today , it is working on the territory of donetsk region. that is, myronivska thermal power plant is not working, bugaiv thermal power plant is not working, slovyanskaya thermal power plant is not working, in fact, it is working, only not at full capacity, kurakhiv thermal power plant, but kurakhovo is

first of all, the ukrainian people made the ukrainian armed forces, which showed the importance for europeukraine's membership, and i think that this status is an award for ukraine, for its people, for ukrainians who gave and are giving their lives for a free, sovereign, independent european country. ukraine was planned for 10 years and built in two weeks. the krakovets korchova international crossing point to ukraine was expanded on the ukrainian-polish border. departure from ukraine, the renewal took place within the framework of the open border project, which was agreed upon in may by presidents volodymyr zelenskyi and andrzej duda, the number one task that must be solved is the expansion to save our export of grain, which due to the war cannot be taken by sea, details further in the material 10 lanes instead of four now for truck drivers it should become easier to cross the ukrainian-polish border at the krakovec korchova checkpoint, new lines were built here for the movement of passenger cars, and those that were allocated for them earlier will now serve for large-size transport and i

will volunteer for mobilization, they will try to attract much more reserves, as for the ukrainian armed forcesre also gradually accumulating their resources and the reserve and personnel and weapons, that part of the weapons that comes from our western partners, part is sent directly to the combat zone with parts . as far as i understand, this is absolutely logical accumulates to create a reserve corps if the ukrainian military determines that they have enough forces to carry out an offensive in one direction or another, in one or another place, they will do it, but they will determine such a concept as the direction of the main strike. so when the ukrainian military commanders determine that they are enough have the strength to strike, they are doing it, but more precisely, i will tell you that only two people in this country are the head and the chief of the general staff, in fact, so that you can finish this topic already if very to briefly summarize, well, from the operation of russian troops in the donbas, well, obviously, they could pursue such goals as, say, a breakthrough of the front,

you that the armed forces again attacked the snake of the last day and actually hit the russian one, this modern armored anti-aircraft system already seems to be the third armor. the ukrainian well, i want to say that i was yesterday, by the way, i was amazed because i found out that oleg sentsov. well, of course, the director, the ukrainian film director, is now at the front, and he is doing exactly what mr. serhii just mentioned. he is just hunting russian planes and helicopters. that's what he saw. i saw him yesterday with him. where is he? a forester is sitting somewhere there with a portable anti-aircraft missile complex in his hands, so here is such a thing, so, actually, we are worried about him, as well as for everyone, in fact, you who are in the ukrainian armed forces, and we wish him, we wish him victory and may he protect in fact, let him take care of himself , oleksandr skoryk, a member of the kharkiv regional council, is already joining us. oleksandr, good morning . usually at 11 p.m., we are always shelled, but uh, this night at 11:00 p.m. and the alarm was traditional, but the voters themselves. we didn’t see or hear uh, and then there was an air-raid alarm

and shaun pinner from britain either side of saaudun brahim from morocco, or member of the ukrainian armed forcesmbers of the ukrainian armed forces, convicted of being mercenaries and facing a sentence of death. these pictures show the two britain's —— these pictures show the two britons military unit on patrol in eastern ukraine in 2020, two years before the latest russian invasion. both men talking openly about why they had chosen to live in ukraine and serve in its army. i've been here two years now. and love it, made a life here, settled down, got a girlfriend in mariupol, plan to get married maybe and now i'm in the marines in ukraine. in a sense, it is like my war because even though i'm not ukrainian, this is on my doorstep. but this courts in a russian court in east ukraine hasjudged both men to be mercenaries, a court not recognised internationally. we are not showing footage of the trial inside but russian state media said the men had a month to appeal. the foreign secretary, liz truss, discussed the buttons on the phone this morning with her ukrainian counterpart. and in a tweet after

ukraine and how the ukrainian people treat the invaders and the state the readiness of the ukrainian armed forcest it is obvious that the situation could have developed differently in different directions for completely different reasons, which will need to be investigated after the end of the war, which could be long, and then when the war ends, we will understand exactly which territories, with what number of people, in what economic situation the post-war ukrainian state is functioning, it will be hard times, hard times, i will tell you right away, then we have to deal with every fragment of the war, but it is impossible to deal with the fragments of the war in emotional perception, when we do not have all the completeness of information, were you there at the front or was i there in action, this is the front we do not even have this information from it and we should not have it, if i had my way, we would introduce military censorship in the media, precisely the military censorship single marathon you would create and introduce military censorship for all tv channels that are on the air, becau

further development of the situation with north donetsk, are the russians really now the ukrainian armed forcesround us, and as far as it is at all possible, they really can’t get us into north donetsk itself, and they are taking all measures to cut off the supply. to date, two bridges out of three have been destroyed, and the third bridge seems to have been mined, so today our troops can leave everything without support from e-e from e-e side of the armed forces of ukraine and this yes and this may threaten e-e actually blocking them on the territory of the industrial zone in the very place of severodonetsk, but for now we continue despite and the influence of fire from the russian federation, especially its artillery, which does not stop for almost a whole day, we still continue to receive the industrial zone of the city of severodonetsk, what will the situation in the south look like in principle, in this case , a real counteroffensive is possible against the background of the battles in donbas and where can we advance in the south, well, in the donbass, not for today, god grant us to get a

ambitions in the kremlin . democratic forces to compromise ukrainian patriots to force ukrainians to walk on words with the dirtiest boots language own church armed forces to convince them that it is not important, that the ukrainian political leadership is to blame for the war, that if the ukrainians themselves had not given up in donbas, it would have ended a long time ago and he would have planned a happy life. putin's problem is that he can no longer bring representatives of pro-russian forces to power in ukraine, discredit the patriotic national - the democratic part of the political spectrum he can, he has enough strength and opportunities for this, but he can no longer bring his part to power but he still cherishes hopes, hopes are connected with the fact that the election campaign of the most successful candidate to write to the president, volodymyr zelensky , takes place with the same memes that try to imprint on the consciousness of the average ukrainian, russian propaganda . mostly, most russians do not have any ukraine. and that zelensky himself is an ordinary russian who should understand all these wishes and ambitions of putin compa

territory or a ukrainian city, this is the science of war that our armed forcescluding missile lock-fire systems and one more thing, well, we see that our armed forces of our general staff are already fighting a truly modern war because they use modern intelligence data, modern intelligence drones, satellites, i.e. with space information, space data about any movements, any locations of the armed forces of the russian federation, that is why in recent days there is so much new information about the impressions of the commanders of the russian armed forces of the russian armed forces of the russian aggressor who are in the command headquarters and which fall under the fire and which are calculated by our aerial reconnaissance and repeat the use of space intelligence means that is the advantage of our armed forces but with the supply of modern missile weapons of missile salvo systems fire and long-range precision artillery - this is indeed a picture of our victory, you mentioned the russian military commanders who die on the eastern front of ukraine, there was info

terrorist acts and being mercenaries — which clearly they are not, they were full members of the ukrainian armed forceses showing aslin signing up when he actually, all those years ago, made his declaration to the ukrainian armed forces. so that's what they were doing there, but clearly they are also foreigners who've been captured during the fight for mariupol. it is clearly an attempt by russia to use these individuals to put pressure on the uk. it is clearly a response to the fact that some russian soldiers have themselves been tried and found guilty of war crimes. because that's the key distinction here, under the geneva convention, if you are a prisoner of war, you are detained as a prisoner of war and treated under the rules of the geneva convention — but the one thing you can be tried for is war crimes. and essentially, some russian fighters and soldiers have been arrested and also charged, and, in a handful of cases, actually convicted of war crimes by targeting civilians specifically mainly through shelling. let's speak to robert fox, who's the defence editor at the london evening standard. th
