if we talk about the strategic goal then, why are the russian forces now fighting for vovchanchansk, can you explain it, that is, what could be, what could be the global goal of the russian army there? first, it is a bridgehead near the har'. this is very important for them, because from these positions it is quite close to kharkiv and you can work very well on it by art, it does not require any large logistical scales for them, because it is close to the provision of the group that will enter the vovchanskyi district, under vovchanskyi we have already repelled it, it works as a buffer zone for them for the third time... further from bilhorod, this is also important, and they hope with the help of information operations to attract attention again and spread the word that we have successes, the ukrainian army will not be able to resist. therefore, let's force ukraine to sit down at the negotiating table. the west must stop supplying weapons, because you see, ukraine will not pull out. they will also try to demoralize us. and to hope that ukraine, that our command will be forced from t

artem, what is the news from vovchanchansk, of course, that, well, i'll start with the mood of the populatione of kharkiv are very, well, worried, because it's on their borders, and they, well, probably, with every conversation , they ask each other how it is there, how you say vavchanska over there in lipetsk, these are two points now, to which the attention is focused, well, not only the people of kharkiv, the attention of ukraine is focused, even probably of the whole world, because there is such a new... point of escalation, very, very active hostilities are taking place there, fortunately our brave soldiers are holding it all back, already was more or less organized, the front was organized, the enemy was stopped, if there were any the advances are very insignificant, there are many guys i know directly in the vavchach direction, who are fighting there, i will tell you that they are very powerful people, and in liptsi, too, there are familiar brigades, so i think that it is necessary to endure, i think that our soldiers will hold out and give these inhumans a hard time and show that not

about the operational command, but here are the wounded and two dead, and the evacuation from vovchanchanskopulated and surrounding villages has begun, a logical question arises here, which is not the first time during the period of a full-scale invasion, why couldn't people evacuate earlier, despite the fact that, according to the military, it is not the military's responsibility for the evacuation, i will say right now, it is not the military's responsibility for the evacuation population, but from the words of the military that i read. today we knew that it would be on may 10, that is, when there was an understanding of why it could not be done earlier, and again , the evacuation, how it happens, must be understood, just as it was, say, in avdiivka or chasovoy yar, or in other settlements, and there in bakhmut, is this a different story, plus there was information that the enemy blew up a bridge in the vovchanchansk region to complicate logistics, but this is information that needs to be checked, this is what the telegram channels with the link there give on different sources, i i am not

vovchansk, this is my principled decision, or 110 separate mechanized brigade, also all under vovchanchansk, this decision is made at the level of the general staff, and regardless of what information the president receives, it does not affect the course of hostilities and the tactics and strategy of entering hostilities. because it is accepted at completely different levels, ah, in general, about the fact that the russians are preparing for appropriate actions, military operations in the kharkiv region, well, they talked, i think, even earlier than in two weeks, at the end of the 23rd year, the beginning on the 24th, an information campaign was launched by the russian federation regarding the capture of kharkiv. an environment of delight. there was such a campaign, it had to be constantly answered, and then at the end of february, the beginning of march, they began to host events related to the formation of the northern army group, because of which they constantly said, is this not a threat of occupation, to which they answered, no, it is a threat of a different order of subversive-terrori

battles continue for vovchanchansk.was no less hot in donetsk region, near pokrovsk, the enemy tried to push forward 25 times, near krasnohorivka and novomykhaivka 18 times. 10 assaults were repulsed by our defenders in the kramatorsk direction, another six in lymansk. our aviation and... missile troops struck four enemy concentration points and two drone control stations. and to help our soldiers. we are asking you to join the urgent collection and a reliable suv is needed by scouts to perform tasks in the war zone. with the help of cars, the military transports personnel and ammunition, and drones are launched from cars. the car is already in ukraine, it remains to buy it back and hand it over to the front. so, our goal is uah 300,000. with your help, we have already collected more than uah 19,500. remember that each of your donations. how to protect yourself from russian cabs, president zelenskyi discussed with the military command at a special meeting: guided air bombs for the occupiers are now the main tool of terr

therefore, the defense forces partially pushed the enemy out of vovchanchansk.ell, but since the beginning of this era, the enemy has concentrated the greatest efforts on kupinsky and pokrovsky directions. this is all we have time to tell you as of this moment. tomorrow we will continue to be with you in the same company, for several hours during the information day of the tv channel. for today we say goodbye to you and our colleagues will continue to inform you about all the main events of today and not only, so until tomorrow. greetings, greetings to everyone from ispress, ianalnik, and the news team will tell you about the most important thing: the attack on the prime minister of slovakia , robert fitzo was wounded after government meeting, his condition is very serious, the prime minister was taken to the hospital by helicopter.

continue to direct assaults towards the liptsi settlement and battles are taking place in the vovchanchanskt, here during today's day the enemy has carried out about five attacks, well, but... the most important events, now my beautiful colleague anna eva melnyk will tell you everything in detail. glory to ukraine, anya, congratulations. glory to the hero, antina in turn, i will tell you about the most important thing, and i will start with the situation in indomitable kharkiv. the leader oleg sinyogubov of the regional military administration informs that one woman was killed and 11 people were injured as a result of the russian strike today. they hit the industrial zone of kholodnohirsky district. the mayor also reported on the influx. in shevchenkivskyi district, next to residential buildings. the details of the attack are being clarified. the number of victims as a result of an enemy attack on a construction hypermarket in kharkiv has increased to 49. 18 citizens died, the state emergency service said. still at the point of impact search operations are ongoing. rescuers have already cle

right to take anyone prisoner, however, in kharkiv oblast, where fighting is still going on in vovchanchanskh is still largely under the control of the armed forces of ukraine. civilians are now imprisoned, kept in basements, some, as we have seen, unfortunately, are killed in the army even people with certain physical disabilities, like a man in a wheelchair who was unable to evacuate. all these terrible crimes must be punished, and this is a matter of general justice, which is listed in point seven of the president's peace plan, so you know. actually, this should probably once again show the world and europe, all democratic forces, who we are dealing with. thank you for being able to join us, i know that you are on the road now and it was not just that. thanks for the answers. maria mezyntseva, people's deputy of ukraine, was with us. it's time for me too goodbye, have a peaceful, safe day, take care of yourself, remember that you should not ignore the air warning signals, and in a few minutes iryna koval will tell the news, so stay with espresso. good bye. gasoline trimmers are so heavy,

direction, that is, threats are created for the advance of russian forces, first of all in the vovchanchansk-kupyansknk that this section... of the front is important for the enemy, because it is possible to advance there along the river siverskyi donets, this can be seen from the geography of these approaches of the enemy and then try, relatively speaking, between these areas of siverskyi donetsk and kupyansk, which is also near the oskil river, this zone between the two bodies of water, try to push through now. the account of rapprochement with the russian federation and the transfer of additional forces there. the situation in principle, the general staff usually says, is difficult, but controlled, and i repeat, now the informational component still prevails over the real military threat that exists in this area. residents of kharkiv, residents of sumy, they ask whether it is necessary to pack things already, whether it is necessary to prepare to be ready at any moment so that you... go to leave the city, mr. serhiy, what, what can you tell them, because people say that now they don't know where t

high-profile situation already today was that people were in fact in captivity for two days, and... in vovchanchanskllage in the basement of by the russian military, who forced them to provide medical aid, by the russian servicemen, they were actually blocked in this basement, after they retreated from this territory, because of the order or because of the incapacity of this unit, people left the basement, went straight to vovchanska, again , got to the volunteers and law enforcement officers, and told... this situation, and there, according to them, there are still people who are also in the basement with other military personnel of the russian federation, actually blocked, and these situations with restrictions on the freedom of local residents, in fact, they are war crimes, since according to the geneva convention, the aggressor country does not have the right to force local residents to take certain actions, to limit their right to move. force them to provide medical care or influence them in any other way. dmitry, we just have this video, i understand, you are talking about these people, who we

state border service posted a video of street or suburban battles or battles in vovchanchansk, wheree that these are really shooting battles, these are some close contact battles, we see that they are shooting literally up to... even from close range, somewhere there are bullets and so on and grenades are thrown , but with all this, well , the ukrainian soldiers behave so calmly and confidently in this short episode, there are not even any matyuks, that is, they talk calmly, while we see that the enemy is as close as possible somewhere, because in this episode we we see that the bullet hits literally very close, maybe it's a sniper shooting, luckily it doesn't... it hits our fighter, and yes, but we see how close, well, that the battles are contact and they are very, very, very difficult, by the way, butusov, yuriy butusov, is now also in liptsy, and yesterday, may 15, he writes that he spent time in liptsy, and writes that the enemy uses the tactics of attacking in small groups, 10-30 soldiers, carrying out infiltration in... orders , here, well, but he writes that they are successf

right to those that are already known to us today, in particular, one of the strategic ones is vovchanchanskt we quickly controlled the situation, raised new reserves, appointed a new commander who really had real experience and real combat achievements in... the east of our country, and this entered just right a new model of defense organization, counter-attacks, striking precisely by means of fire at a distance, i.e.... tactics in small groups, seizing certain territories or settlements, but we carried out operations to unblock, to counter-attack formations and strike by means of fire according to the reserves that were coming in, that is why the reserves were cut off and these massive attacks failed, and of course, this disrupted the possible strikes of the sumy region, so i think that now... yes, the forces are rushing to the kharkiv region, because it was set the task is to break through at least in one sector, but in addition to the task of withdrawing our forces from the east from the south, because it was assumed that we would remove a number of special forces brigades and battalions

a lot of victims and tragedies, at least this is what the zhdun soldiers write and say that in vovchanchanskample, they almost invite russians to their homes, that you can hide here, get some kind of shelter, why is this happening, sir bohdan, these are some canned goods, these are some agents who are simply recruited, or simply people do not understand and it is not known what they have in... what is this ? well, look, it’s not about the agents here, it’s about the population that lives there, it’s the border, about vovchansk itself before the war, we can open, let’s say, even the voting of local residents, there for patriotic, for ukrainian, let’s say, parties , there, i will not even name, who never voted much, but supported everything pro-russian, watched russian channels there, worked there. everyone is there dishes that receive this signal, and they all sat for years on this needle of russian propaganda, that's why the ukrainian population there speak ukrainian, in evacuations, they interview many people there, well, most of them are people of such a respectable age, there are pensione

lekiychuk was with us, then we will listen to the story of the policeman who evacuated people from vovchanchanskd, let's see together, i will tell you there from the first mouth. what was the task and what happened? well , it turns out that since may 10, the police department has been evacuating the local population from the city of vovchansk, since active hostilities have begun in the suburbs, and many civilians have expressed a desire to leave the city, but, well, they don't have... the opportunity to do it on their own , in connection with which, well, our police department came to the rescue, together with volunteers and the local military administration, our task as policemen was to pick up people from the city itself and deliver them to a safe city, a place where they were already picked up by volunteers and taken to the place where they were settled, today of course. was processing the application for evacuation, but the address that was in the application was on the outskirts of the city, that is, the street where, well, it was shot at, as it turned out, by the military of the russian fe

at two directions: the village of lybtsi, which is 16 km from kharkiv, as well as the city of vovchanchanskovers the exit to the left the bank of the siverskyi donets river. in the liptsi district, the enemy managed to capture seven villages and expand the bridgehead to 13 km along the border. near vovchansk, they occupied three villages and approached the northern outskirts of the city, where street battles are currently taking place. it is obvious that the available resources do not allow the russians to advance on kharkiv, but this is not their goal. they want to get as close as possible to the city in order to increase their own capabilities of terrorist destruction of kharkiv with the help of artillery and mlrs. in addition, enemies want to push back the reserves of the ukrainian armed forces from donetsk region, which has been partially successful so far, because the third assault brigade, which is not used to being on the defensive, has started work here. at the same time, the occupation of vlovchansk does not have any strategic significance. in addition to the information, in 5 days

in the morning, the russians dropped aerial bombs on vovchanchansk, a 73-year-old woman was killed. rescuers pulled two more men from under the rubble of the house. dozens of private and multi-story buildings were destroyed and partially destroyed. a whole family, four people, who were helped to get out of the emergency, found themselves under the rubble of one of the residential buildings. - reported the state emergency service of kharkiv region. and at night, during the shelling, vovchansk was wounded 38-year-old man. a 63-year-old man was killed in the village of hlyboke during artillery fire, and a 37-year-old man was injured in vesely due to the detonation of ammunition. in addition, in the village of vilcha, at night, a controlled aerial bomb damaged the building of a geriatric boarding house, oleg synigubov, the head of the region, said. pass, pass, carefully. in the north of kharkiv oblast, heavy fighting continues for the border villages, president volodymyr zelenskyi said in his evening address. yesterday , the occupiers launched an attack on the strategically important vi

the attack was not on kharkiv, but on vovchanchansk.two weeks of the occupation army of the north in the kharkiv region, the enemies were unable to reach zachansk or kharkiv within artillery fire distance, which they tried to do near liptsi. the russians could not reach even the first line of defense of the armed forces. in addition, they began to run out of soldiers, and therefore the rashists had to ask for help from the western army, which is trying in luhansk region. to break through to kupyansk, although according to their plan, it was the defense forces that were supposed to attract their reserves and pull them away from the front somewhere in donetsk region. the armed forces of ukraine took up the defense in vovchansk on the vovcha river, the fighting continues in... in the center of the city , the rashists began to use their cabs en masse, instead, our aviation made several high-precision strikes on the concentration of russians, yes, for example, the central hospital was razed to the ground. during the week, the occupiers not o

we talk about the operational command, but here are wounded and two dead, and the evacuation of vovchanchansks has begun, a logical question arises here, which has arisen not for the first time period of full-scale invasion, why couldn't people evacuate earlier, it's because...

have a clear stabilization there on the line where they are attacking us, these are vovchansk, vovchanchansk and liptsi, today the defense line is stabilized there, our defense forces clearly keep them in shape and... i will tell you that even in some areas we have information that we are knocking them out there from certain, from certain of their positions and moving forward, that's why the situation stabilized, today, of course, we grieve for our victims of our terrorist acts, the frank, brutal terrorist acts that the russians committed in kharkiv region yesterday, i will now continue the topic of kharkiv region, i will just say once again that there is a message from... . first repeated daggers, then the daggers are not confirmed, again i will say, the enemy resorts to imitation, using certain technical capabilities that he has, he imitates launches, makes such false targets, of course, but we have to be in shelters until the air alert is canceled, i would like to understand that the situation in vovchansk in the city itself is difficult now, according to official information from the min

movement from evacuating people, because it is necessary to evacuate practically all people from vovchanchanskthink they are already finishing there, they are finishing er... evacuation, because it is simply impossible, today i contacted one of our volunteers there, and he, they are evacuating people there, evacuating animals, they are doing, well, with such, with such incredible efforts, because cabs are constantly flying, constant shelling, there is a shooting battle, but they are all equally heroic they protect people and try to bring them out as much as possible, so there is a certain movement. but there is no such panic as there was in the 22nd year, when there were queues at gas stations, when everything was swept away in the supermarkets, there are people who decided for themselves that they should go, there are people... who decided, for example, i decided for myself that i will not go anywhere, i will defend our native land to the last, replacing galushkin with general drapatoy, what did he do, what distinguished himself, for example, galushkin, who commanded the operational-tactical

in the morning, the russians dropped air bombs on vovchanchansk, a woman died. rescuers pulled two more men from the rubble of the house. destroyed and partially destroyed. dozens of private and multi-story buildings, a whole family, four people, who were helped to get out by emergency personnel, were under the rubble of one of the residential buildings, the state emergency service of kharkiv region reported. and at night, during the shelling of vovchansk , a 38-year-old man was wounded. in the village of hlyboke, a 63-year-old man died during artillery fire, and in vesely due to the detonation of ammunition a 37-year-old man was injured, the eyewitness reported. in the north of kharkiv oblast, heavy fighting continues for the border villages, president volodymyr zelenskyi said in his evening address. yesterday, the occupiers launched an attack on the strategically important village of hlyboke, informed the sharp cartouche unit from a separate detachment of the national guard. the military added that the defense forces were forced to leave some positions. russia

these are the murders of people in vovchanchansk. yes, there is a photo where you can see what is nearby people, some kind of mine or projectile was torn apart, there you can see such a place of impact, and, well, obviously debris, but again, these debris came from the enemy side. it is clear that if the russians had not attacked, then there would not have been this shelling, but there are cases that... russians cynically shoot local residents with small arms, like this, well, this is explained by the fact that they are russians, actually, this is not the first case and not the first place, but in general, what is the situation with... why is this open genocide happening, and again, how much it is worth shouting about it, talking about it, so that it is not forgotten again, covered up and explained by the fact that it was simply a conflict zone, where people simply died, as we often hear from some organizations that should be doing just that, to recognize the genocide that russia is committing today against the ukrainian people, the

it was about the fact that there are wounded as a result of enemy shelling, the whole enemy in vovchanchanskand in july, please tell me more about this particular situation with the consequences of an enemy attack on civilians, and it is also possible that there were other attacks that i did not read about somewhere, so as of now, what is the situation of the consequences of enemy attacks and do they continue constantly , is this again a certain period of time when it is possible to provide help, to evacuate people somewhere, or does it happen with a large... periodically, please, eh, well, look, i would divide what concerns the border and eh, those places where attacks are currently taking place, it is there, well, if there is such a large settlement there , it is vovchants, there are sticky people, then there there is always chaotic shelling, well, i think that all ukrainians have already seen these shots there in ovchansk, how the population is being evacuated there under shelling, they have seen it all. but today, on the next day, the enemy also shelled a settlement closer to kharkiv, as

to be carried out there, maybe there are already some such plans, are we currently stopping at vovchanchansk, no, we are evacuating, and the village is almost evacuated, vilcha remained there about 30-40 people at most, the same as liman, there are already units there all that remained was a scree, a small village, that's why almost all these villages have already been evacuated, they... we help them and take out all these people. we saw on the footage that people also try to take their animals with them, do you actually have such an opportunity to evacuate together with your pets, so that it does not happen like in sumy oblast, when people simply ran away, and sometimes dogs were even left tied up , then the volunteers drove them separately on occasion and freed them, there are many different cases, many different cases, if it is a small a dog and people there hold him in their arms, then he usually gets in and leaves, even a german shepherd was evacuated yesterday, because one of our cars was a pickup truck, so she and her owner got into the back of the car and left too, well, calm dog, he

because anastasia is joining us, she is currently in one of the eu countries, she herself is from vovchanchanskjust like that you listened to her story and maybe answered, anastasia, i welcome you on the air, you hear me, you see, your father was in the village of staritsa at the time of the russian troops' attack, it is not far from vovchansk, you were looking for him, and then it turned out. that he was taken to russia, please tell me what is known about his movement, and as i understand it, he was not the only one among the civilians who was taken to russia? he is not the only one, they were taken out in groups, and what i know, unfortunately, is such, such information, such as that they were taken out, they did not have the opportunity to contact their relatives, no one knows how, in what way they were taken out, or were they taken out? by force, or were they taken out of their own accord, it is known that they were sitting in cellars, in cellars, in basements, simply hiding from shelling, many, many buildings were damaged, there are cases of deaths of residents, they, they killed civilians
