[00:02:36] in our countries, we analyze, inform and tell stories. During
[00:02:39] Russia's war against Ukraine and Europe, media also become a
[00:02:43] battlefield, Russian disinformation tries to divide us,
[00:02:46] sow fear and hatred, but we will not let this happen and
[00:02:49] will unite our perspectives, Polish and Ukrainian, Warsaw and
[00:02:53] Kyiv, media, political and expert. Every
[00:02:56] week watch our joint analysis of main political. Gurska,
[00:03:07] see you!
[00:03:23] Greetings to everyone watching us, this is Slava's news, it
[00:03:25] can also be watched on Espresso in the studio, Oksana Vysochenskaya. Ukraine
[00:03:29] receives all real and reliable formats for a ceasefire and
[00:03:33] war. Kyiv is ready not to strike Russian
[00:03:36] energy and counts on Russia's
[00:03:39] similar readiness and on an agreement with the President of the United
[00:03:42] States. Regarding this situation. The Armed
[00:03:45] Forces have received all necessary orders. Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated this in
[00:03:49] his evening address on October 11 in response to Trump's post
[00:03:53] that Ukraine and the Russian Federation allegedly agreed to a so-called
[00:03:57] energy truce. The President of Ukraine emphasized
[00:04:00] that this is good news for everyone and it is important that it becomes part of
[00:04:04] reality. At the same time, the Russian State Duma reported that they
[00:04:07] have no information about such agreements. And the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of
[00:04:11] Ukraine, on the same evening after Zelenskyy's address, published
[00:04:14] a statement that the Kremlin had indeed violated the truce
[00:04:18] immediately after its announcement, by striking the Kharkiv
[00:04:21] TPP-5.
[00:04:24] There is a statement from the President of the United States that
[00:04:27] an energy ceasefire has been
[00:04:30] reached, this is good news
[00:04:33] for everyone, it is important that this
[00:04:36] becomes part of
[00:04:38] reality, Ukraine supports all real and reliable
[00:04:42] formats for a ceasefire and
[00:04:44] an end to the war. Ukraine is ready not to strike
[00:04:47] Russian energy, and
[00:04:50] we count on Russia's similar
[00:04:54] readiness and on the agreement of the President of
[00:04:57] the United States of America. Regarding this,
[00:05:01] we, we welcome such
[00:05:03] an agreement.
[00:05:05] This week, Ukraine is to receive about 3 billion euros
[00:05:09] in military support from the European Union. This was reported
[00:05:12] by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy after a telephone conversation with the head of
[00:05:16] the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen. He also
[00:05:19] thanked for the previous tranche of 1 billion and 240 million
[00:05:22] euros for defense needs, which has already arrived in Ukraine. During
[00:05:26] the conversation, Zelenskyy informed the European official about Russian
[00:05:30] strikes on the energy infrastructure of Kyiv and Kharkiv region.
[00:05:33] In particular, on October 11, a Russian drone attacked
[00:05:37] a power plant in the capital, after which power went out in a number of
[00:05:40] districts. The President emphasized that partner support is
[00:05:44] necessary to protect Ukrainians amid continued Russian
[00:05:47] attacks.
[00:05:52] Ukraine and Canada discussed strengthening ballistic missile defense
[00:05:55] and preparing for winter. Canada actively participated in the development
[00:05:59] of a joint anti-ballistic system with Europe, Frey,
[00:06:02] which should strengthen the protection of other countries. This was
[00:06:06] reported by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy after a conversation with Canadian Prime Minister
[00:06:09] Mark Carney. The parties also raised the issue of an
[00:06:13] energy truce proposed by the US President. Ukraine supports
[00:06:17] this initiative, but now awaits Russia's response and its
[00:06:21] decision to cease attacks on Ukrainian energy
[00:06:24] infrastructure. Zelenskyy thanked Canada and personally
[00:06:27] Mark Carney for supporting
[00:06:29] Ukraine.
[00:06:33] The administration of US President Donald Trump threatens to stop
[00:06:36] the supply of American weapons to Ukraine if the defense forces do not
[00:06:40] stop striking Russian energy.
[00:06:44] This is reported by the Financial Times with reference to European
[00:06:47] officials who learned about telephone conversations between American
[00:06:50] officials and representatives of Ukraine and Europe. According to the
[00:06:54] publication, Washington also threatened to stop intelligence
[00:06:57] sharing with Kyiv and block the Pearl mechanism, through which NATO
[00:07:01] countries purchase American weapons for Ukraine.
[00:07:05] The White House declined to confirm or comment on these
[00:07:08] reports.
[00:07:12] Ukraine uses asymmetric strikes to
[00:07:15] reduce Russia's ability to launch ballistic attacks. In
[00:07:19] September and early October, defense forces hit eight Russian
[00:07:23] launchers, three were destroyed, and five more
[00:07:25] were damaged. This was reported by Defense Minister Yevhen
[00:07:28] Khmara. According to him, these strikes have already forced Russian troops
[00:07:32] to cancel or change planned attacks.
[00:07:35] At the same time, the existing and potential supplies of anti-aircraft
[00:07:39] missiles are not enough to fully protect Ukraine from
[00:07:42] ballistic missiles, so Kyiv continues negotiations with
[00:07:45] partners on accelerating supplies. Khmara
[00:07:48] emphasized that Ukraine needs tens and hundreds of missiles, not
[00:07:52] single deliveries. The Minister also emphasized that the effectiveness
[00:07:56] of intercepting conventional Russian Shaheds exceeds
[00:07:58] 90%, and against jet drones,
[00:08:02] interceptor drones are already being used. In addition,
[00:08:05] since the beginning of Ukrainian operations against Russian
[00:08:07] oil refining, according to Khmara, 51.1% of the
[00:08:11] Russian Federation's capacity
[00:08:13] has been disabled.
[00:08:16] Russian troops are developing optical-navigation systems for
[00:08:20] strike drones that allow them to navigate the terrain
[00:08:24] without using satellite navigation and not to be
[00:08:28] affected by electronic warfare equipment. This was reported
[00:08:31] by the President's advisor on the development of technological defense areas,
[00:08:35] Serhiy Beskresnov, known as Flash. According to him, photos of the
[00:08:38] area, including from mapping services, are uploaded to drones.
[00:08:42] During the flight, the device compares them with the image from
[00:08:46] its own camera. Such systems are already used on
[00:08:49] Russian Molnia, V2U and Lancet drones. In
[00:08:52] addition, the Susan navigation system was recently
[00:08:56] discovered on Geran-4 and Geran-5
[00:08:59] attack drones. Beskresnov emphasizes that drones
[00:09:03] that navigate by images of the terrain can be
[00:09:06] more resistant to the effects
[00:09:07] of REP.
[00:09:12] In Poland, a man was detained who threatened Prime Minister Donald
[00:09:16] Tusk and Defense Minister Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz. This was reported
[00:09:19] by Tusk himself. Earlier, the Polish police received
[00:09:22] information about a possible assassination attempt on the head of government and
[00:09:26] the head of the defense department. After that, Interior
[00:09:29] Minister Marcin Kierwiński and special services coordinator Tomasz
[00:09:32] Siemoniak ordered the necessary measures to be taken. According
[00:09:36] to preliminary information, the threats could have come
[00:09:39] remotely. Details about the detainee and the circumstances of the
[00:09:42] case are currently not being
[00:09:44] reported by the Polish authorities.
[00:09:47] European intelligence agencies warned heads of defense companies about
[00:09:51] the threat of possible assassinations organized by Russia. This is reported
[00:09:54] by the Financial Times with reference to representatives of five
[00:09:58] European intelligence services. According to the publication,
[00:10:01] not only the heads of large enterprises are at risk, but also
[00:10:04] employees of small companies that produce drones and components
[00:10:08] for them. Due to the warning from the special services, some
[00:10:11] managers have already strengthened their personal security, including
[00:10:15] during foreign trips. According to intelligence, Russian
[00:10:19] GRU may be involved in preparing such operations, cooperating with
[00:10:23] criminal groups and using agent
[00:10:26] networks. Intelligence agencies believe that this is how Moscow wants
[00:10:29] to intimidate Europe's defense industry and weaken support for
[00:10:32] Ukraine.
[00:10:37] The European Commission is preparing proposals to strengthen visa rules for
[00:10:41] Russian citizens due to the threat of hybrid attacks. This is reported
[00:10:45] by Politico with reference to sources. According to the
[00:10:47] publication, new measures are planned to be presented in January
[00:10:51] next year. Poland, Sweden and Estonia
[00:10:55] expect to strengthen control over the entry of Russians, including former
[00:10:58] military personnel who fought against Ukraine. Estonian
[00:11:01] Foreign Minister Margus Tsahkna
[00:11:04] stated that it concerns approximately 650 thousand
[00:11:08] former Russian servicemen who could potentially pose
[00:11:11] a threat to the security of the European Union. Last year,
[00:11:14] Russian citizens received about 478 thousand
[00:11:18] tourist Schengen visas, a significant part of which allows
[00:11:21] multiple entries.
[00:11:26] Cars that will help save lives have arrived in
[00:11:29] Ukraine. Six ambulances and a vehicle for
[00:11:33] transporting people with disabilities were delivered to Lviv. This is already
[00:11:36] the 24th humanitarian convoy from Belgium. It was carried out
[00:11:40] by the charity fund "Mercy and Health" jointly with the Belgian
[00:11:43] non-governmental organization "Bifo Ukraine". In total,
[00:11:47] the organizers of the initiative brought to Ukraine over 150
[00:11:50] vehicles. Ambulances will be transferred to the most loaded
[00:11:54] front lines, where they will help save
[00:11:57] lives. And another vehicle, equipped for transporting people
[00:12:01] with disabilities, will be sent to a hospital in
[00:12:04] Boryspil.
[00:12:06] We understand that the total need, that is, we currently
[00:12:10] have more than 100 needs, which are live needs
[00:12:13] from our army, from our hospitals, from
[00:12:17] stabilization points, and we try to cover
[00:12:20] all these needs. We have a very wide range at this time, this is the Kharkiv
[00:12:24] direction. Zaporizhzhia direction, Donetsk
[00:12:26] direction,
[00:12:29] Dnipro direction. The need is always great, so that people can
[00:12:32] be delivered donor blood in time,
[00:12:36] to deliver tests of seriously ill
[00:12:39] people, this always usually happens even
[00:12:43] at night, at a very unexpected
[00:12:46] time. What motivates us to continue
[00:12:50] is that we believe that we must help
[00:12:53] Ukrainians defend themselves.
[00:12:56] All this news for this hour, the next news release in less
[00:12:59] than an hour, then my colleagues, Kateryna
[00:13:03] Nekrecha and Serhiy Rudenko, will continue
[00:13:35] working. We welcome all our viewers, you are watching Ukrainian Focus Morning
[00:13:38] of Glory. This morning and this week for you
[00:13:42] begin after Oksana Vysochanska, our colleague from Kateryna
[00:13:46] Nekrecha, I am Serhiy Rudenko with you today, so we and
[00:13:49] our colleagues, good morning, we and our colleagues are preparing, we have prepared
[00:13:53] for you the most important. all events, news, we will
[00:13:56] analyze, we will discuss this, and you must join the discussion
[00:14:00] on YouTube, on the Slava channel, subscribe if
[00:14:04] you haven't already, comment, please, and we will discuss
[00:14:08] everything that is happening now in Ukraine and
[00:14:12] the world with you. Over the next three hours, we will
[00:14:15] talk about the so-called energy truce, which
[00:14:18] was announced on October 11 by the President
[00:14:21] of the United States of America Donald Trump. He says that
[00:14:25] Ukraine and Russia allegedly agreed on this energy
[00:14:29] truce, there is a reaction from both sides, about which Donald
[00:14:32] Trump speaks, about what this energy truce means and what
[00:14:36] the latest reverences of Donald Trump
[00:14:40] towards Russia are connected with, we will talk about this throughout
[00:14:43] almost our entire broadcast, because this is the main topic not only of our
[00:14:47] broadcast, but it is also the main topic in the world and in Ukraine, I don't know
[00:14:50] about Russia, but the occupiers continue to strike
[00:14:54] at... the energy infrastructure
[00:14:57] of Ukraine, yesterday, after Trump announced this
[00:15:00] energy truce, the Russians
[00:15:03] struck the TPP in Kharkiv, and
[00:15:06] at other facilities that are part
[00:15:10] of the energy system of Ukraine, what will happen
[00:15:12] next, what will the winter be like, and
[00:15:15] most importantly, will Russia still adhere to this
[00:15:19] energy truce, because, judging by the
[00:15:22] rhetoric coming from the Kremlin, they
[00:15:26] are talking about an energy truce that concerns exclusively
[00:15:29] oil refineries, in Ukraine there is only one and it is not
[00:15:32] working oil refinery in Kremenchuk and it looks
[00:15:36] like... Trump allegedly says that Ukrainians promised
[00:15:40] not to hit Russian oil refineries, and the Russians also
[00:15:43] promised not to hit, allegedly, again, Ukrainian
[00:15:47] oil refineries, although I repeat once again, this oil refinery
[00:15:51] in Kremenchuk is not working, and
[00:15:54] we will also talk about a wave of threats and violence in
[00:15:57] Poland, where they are threatening
[00:16:01] the leaders of the Polish state, who is behind
[00:16:04] these threats, how is it related to the Russian-Ukrainian war,
[00:16:08] or rather, the war
[00:16:10] of Russia against Europe, a hybrid war,
[00:16:14] are there ears of Russian occupiers there, and
[00:16:17] how the destruction of
[00:16:20] Yandex data centers in Russia changes
[00:16:23] the picture of social networks in Poland, in
[00:16:27] the world, in the United States of America, and in different
[00:16:30] countries where political struggle
[00:16:33] is now raging, we will talk about all this throughout
[00:16:37] the next three hours, and speaking of the United States
[00:16:40] of America and of the moods and reactions there,
[00:16:43] seven US senators signed
[00:16:47] such a joint letter,
[00:16:49] published it, such a joint statement and said that
[00:16:53] the US should not give Putin a financial
[00:16:56] lifeline, they believe that Trump's
[00:16:59] decision to allow the import of diesel from the Russian
[00:17:03] Federation to the States contradicts the 2022 law.
[00:17:06] According to them, the Trump administration did not consult
[00:17:09] with Congress, did not justify such
[00:17:12] decisions and called on the White House
[00:17:15] to immediately change course. And next we have Artem Revchuk,
[00:17:19] deputy of the Kharkiv City Council, Mr. Andriy,
[00:17:22] Mr. Artem, forgive me, we welcome you and thank you for being with us today,
[00:17:26] welcome,
[00:17:28] вітаємо,
[00:17:32] do you hear, good morning, do you hear now, Mr. Artem,
[00:17:35] welcome. Mr. Artem, can you hear us in the
[00:17:38] studio?
[00:17:41] Apparently, he can't hear, we will wait for the connection
[00:17:44] to be restored, we also understand that there are already
[00:17:47] power outages in Ukraine, and
[00:17:50] therefore we understand that various technical nuances may arise,
[00:17:54] we will talk with Mr. Artem about the situation in
[00:17:57] Kharkiv, from the news we understand that the attacks
[00:18:01] continue, Russia continues to carry out
[00:18:04] attacks on Kharkiv directly, including
[00:18:08] with FABs, there is also a statement about, well, such
[00:18:12] analytics about the fact that the priority targets for the Russian
[00:18:15] Federation are actually the destruction
[00:18:19] of Ukraine's energy sector, this information was published,
[00:18:22] published by journalists of the "Schemes" project of Radio Svoboda, they
[00:18:25] refer to an intercepted document of the Russian
[00:18:29] Federation, so we understand that our various Ukrainian
[00:18:33] regions today are suffering from
[00:18:36] Russian... by the way, if you are watching us directly from
[00:18:40] your relatives are in Ukraine,
[00:18:44] you can write in the comments what the situation is in your region,
[00:18:48] for example, are there schedules for power outages and are they
[00:18:52] really followed, or are there still
[00:18:55] outages not according to the schedule, yes, that is, we understand
[00:18:58] that this happens when the situation is more difficult,
[00:19:02] when it is difficult to control,
[00:19:04] to make a distribution
[00:19:08] for all users of power grids, where the
[00:19:11] situation is more difficult, so you can share the experience of your
[00:19:15] region in the comments under our video on YouTube. Well, the situation in Kharkiv is not easy,
[00:19:18] yesterday, after Donald Trump
[00:19:21] announced an energy truce, the Russians
[00:19:24] struck TPP-5, which is located in
[00:19:28] the suburbs of Kharkiv, a series of
[00:19:31] explosions rang out there, and President
[00:19:34] Volodymyr Zelenskyy said in his evening address
[00:19:38] that despite the truce announced
[00:19:41] by Trump, the occupiers continue to strike
[00:19:44] Ukraine's energy structure. In general,
[00:19:47] in just this past week, Russians
[00:19:50] launched over 200 attacks on our generation and transmission
[00:19:54] facilities in Ukraine, another 17 attacks in a week
[00:19:57] were on gas and oil facilities, meaning the occupiers
[00:20:01] are counting on destroying the energy
[00:20:04] infrastructure of Ukraine, and in particular
[00:20:07] of Kharkiv. In addition, Kharkiv was
[00:20:11] struck by FABs, unfortunately, a
[00:20:14] woman died, 10 were injured, including a child.
[00:20:17] Kharkiv was hit not only
[00:20:21] in the direction of TPP-5, but also
[00:20:25] in - residential buildings, that is, in residential areas, the Russians
[00:20:29] continue terror against peaceful
[00:20:32] people, against those who remain in the city, and
[00:20:35] try to compensate for
[00:20:38] their failures on the front
[00:20:41] with strikes on the rear civilian infrastructure
[00:20:44] of Kharkiv, and accordingly of Ukraine. Well, in general, if we
[00:20:47] return to the work of journalists who summed
[00:20:51] up the number of Russian attacks, there is a reference
[00:20:54] to the Prosecutor General's Office from Radio Svoboda journalists,
[00:20:57] which is currently investigating more than 3
[00:21:01] thousand strikes on Ukrainian energy infrastructure, that
[00:21:04] is, only during this past summer
[00:21:08] and September 2026, according to Ukrainian
[00:21:11] specialized experts, Russia launched about
[00:21:15] 160 strikes per month on critical infrastructure,
[00:21:19] 160 strikes per month, and this refers specifically
[00:21:22] to strikes outside
[00:21:25] the frontline territory, that is, this refers
[00:21:29] to cities that are far from the front, from
[00:21:32] the front line, yes, so this is how such
[00:21:36] a number is calculated, and in fact we will continue to talk today
[00:21:40] in our broadcast about the number of civilian casualties, and it is also said that a larger
[00:21:43] number of civilian casualties are further from the front line,
[00:21:47] that is, this is the result and consequence
[00:21:50] of Russian long-range attacks on
[00:21:53] Ukrainian cities, and it should also be said that
[00:21:56] this document, which the journalists of Schemes refer to, was probably prepared by the Russian
[00:22:00] side, provided by Ukrainian intelligence on September 17 in
[00:22:04] Paris, demonstrated to partners at the energy Ramstein by
[00:22:07] Energy Minister Denys Shmyhal, so we understand that these are indeed
[00:22:11] such targeted Russian plans. And
[00:22:14] Artem Revchuk, deputy of the Kharkiv City Council,
[00:22:18] joins us. Mr. Artem, we welcome you again,
[00:22:22] we hope you can hear us well now and see us, good morning,
[00:22:26] yes, good morning, although honestly, the night was
[00:22:29] also with alarms, yesterday was generally a very difficult day for
[00:22:33] Kharkiv region, for Kharkiv in general and
[00:22:35] its suburbs. Let's start with the situation that
[00:22:39] developed on the evening of October 11, because in his evening
[00:22:43] address, President Zelenskyy said that at the time when Trump
[00:22:46] announced an energy truce, rockets
[00:22:50] were flying towards Kharkiv, towards TPP-5, I understand
[00:22:53] that it is located in the suburbs of Kharkiv, what is the current situation
[00:22:57] in general with TPP-5, with all
[00:23:00] the communications that are in the city, well, and there was
[00:23:04] a FAB strike on civilian infrastructure, on civilian
[00:23:07] buildings, look, you just said that as
[00:23:10] soon as Trump's announcement was made, I was also reading
[00:23:14] the news at that moment, and explosions were also
[00:23:17] heard, as it later turned out... let's say,
[00:23:21] I found out in more detail, there were about seven
[00:23:23] explosions, the first explosions were precisely at
[00:23:26] 35, and then one of the missiles, as far as I know
[00:23:30] from the package, hit a supermarket in
[00:23:33] Pisochyn, actually, well, whoever is local knows, it's just
[00:23:37] that the city turns into Pisochyn, that's what the settlement
[00:23:40] is called, and the same 35 is there, that is, it's
[00:23:44] such a, well, in fact, due to
[00:23:47] the inaccuracy of this weapon, probably.
[00:23:51] and maybe, I hardly believe that it was still,
[00:23:55] let's say, an accident, I think that they decided to hit us
[00:23:58] once again on energy,
[00:24:02] violating those agreements that Trump
[00:24:05] proposed, and once again
[00:24:07] to terrorize our population, unfortunately,
[00:24:11] three people died, two
[00:24:14] children, a 19-year-old girl,
[00:24:17] a 16-year-old boy, I even saw a video of him on a scooter,
[00:24:21] it's, well, let's say, it generally
[00:24:24] shocked me, although it seems, how can
[00:24:27] you be shocked by what you've seen over these years, both at the front and in
[00:24:31] civilian life, but since I also have,
[00:24:34] let's say, a son, well, a little younger, and when you see
[00:24:38] these frames, and well, it's hard to describe
[00:24:41] in words, and a 53-year-old woman also died, before
[00:24:45] that day there was a strike on
[00:24:48] Kharkiv.
[00:24:51] Well, as for the degree of damage to TPP-5, I
[00:24:54] will not comment right away, because
[00:24:58] I have no right to disclose any
[00:25:02] details regarding our energy
[00:25:04] stability, I am
[00:25:07] the deputy head of the housing and communal services commission, in
[00:25:11] principle, more or less I understand what should have happened
[00:25:14] there, but I will not comment on anything regarding
[00:25:18] the degree of damage, what an enemy. It was not easier to continue
[00:25:22] their terrorist acts, but in general, this is a very big tragedy and
[00:25:26] a very cynical strike, yes, after two leaders, well, one leader
[00:25:29] cannot be called, and the other too, given
[00:25:33] how he trades, let's say for
[00:25:35] some fuel he sells, he trades
[00:25:39] Ukrainian lives, I wouldn't call him a leader either, unfortunately, this is such
[00:25:43] a problem we have now, a global problem,
[00:25:47] a problem of populism, and we have...
[00:25:50] such leaders in quotation marks,
[00:25:53] peaceful populations suffer all over the world. Mr. Artem, please
[00:25:57] tell me, what is the current situation with
[00:25:59] energy, with heat in the city? Are there
[00:26:03] blackouts, are there areas where there might
[00:26:06] be a more problematic situation and there is no
[00:26:09] electricity?
[00:26:11] Well, look, as for electricity, well,
[00:26:15] there were, well, outages, there are certain
[00:26:18] outage schedules, both in the city and in the
[00:26:22] region as well, actually, this strike, well,
[00:26:25] right now on heating, on what is it, it's very
[00:26:28] strong, not very strong. will affect, as such...
[00:26:32] They will definitely not achieve an "out", because, well, over these
[00:26:36] years of full-scale invasion, Kharkiv, in
[00:26:39] principle, well, I compare it, let's say, with Kyiv, because
[00:26:43] it so happened that half of my life I live in Kyiv now,
[00:26:47] half in Kharkiv, that was the moment in Kharkiv,
[00:26:50] it is, so I will say that Kharkiv is one of the cities that I have seen
[00:26:54] most prepared, I know just, well, what exactly we were deploying,
[00:26:57] cogeneration stations, gas turbine
[00:27:00] stations, I know... the profession
[00:27:03] of, well, directly those deputies, deputy mayors
[00:27:07] and heads of departments and, well, in
[00:27:10] principle, specialists from
[00:27:13] housing and communal services, who deal with these issues, and I will say that
[00:27:17] these are highly professional people, and what they
[00:27:20] report to us at commissions, it corresponds to
[00:27:24] reality, still Kharkiv is more or less already
[00:27:27] prepared over these years for such situations, as they say, unfortunately, very... I wish this
[00:27:31] preparation would happen at all,
[00:27:35] as they say, if there was peacetime, but, unfortunately, Kharkiv, at the beginning
[00:27:38] of the full-scale war, became
[00:27:42] the first, let's say, experiment of Russian
[00:27:45] terror, and we ourselves,
[00:27:49] let's say, felt the fraternal
[00:27:53] love and had to
[00:27:56] somehow survive, and as for, I say, resilience, I think that
[00:27:59] Kharkiv is more prepared than other cities. Thank you, Mr.
[00:28:03] Artem, for the conversation, that was Artem Revchuk, a deputy of
[00:28:07] the Kharkiv City Council, we talked about the situation in the
[00:28:11] city after the attacks by KABs and
[00:28:14] missiles on TEC-5, yesterday, I remind you,
[00:28:17] these attacks took place,
[00:28:21] and this happened against the backdrop of Trump's public
[00:28:24] statements about an energy truce,
[00:28:27] there is information that the mayor of Kharkiv, Terekhov, has already
[00:28:30] asked the EU for money for
[00:28:34] energy, housing and metro, there is
[00:28:37] information that Igor Terekhov
[00:28:40] met with the representative
[00:28:43] of the European Commission, Peter Wagner, and handed him projects prepared for
[00:28:47] financing the needs of frontline
[00:28:50] communities, and it is interesting that
[00:28:53] obviously during some nearest period,
[00:28:57] the European Commission should make a decision on these
[00:29:00] projects, especially since, judging by the reaction
[00:29:04] of Europeans, for Europeans, all
[00:29:07] of Trump's current flirtations with the Russians
[00:29:10] are also incomprehensible and unacceptable, and therefore we will
[00:29:14] hope for the help of Europeans in this difficult
[00:29:17] time. Next, we will talk about the situation at the front,
[00:29:20] specifically in the Lyman direction, during the previous
[00:29:24] day, 10 attempts were repelled by the Russians to wedge into
[00:29:28] the Ukrainian defense in the areas of the settlements of Nadiia,
[00:29:31] Novoyehorivka. Vesele, Lyman and Dibrova, this
[00:29:35] is a report from the General Staff, then to the broadcast we invite our guest, this is
[00:29:38] Olena Rozvadovska, chief of staff of the Mara Unmanned Systems Battalion
[00:29:42] of the 66th Separate Mechanized Brigade named after Prince Mstyslav
[00:29:45] the Brave. Mrs. Olena, we welcome you, thank you for
[00:29:48] joining us. Glory to Ukraine. Glory to the Heroes.
[00:29:51] Glory to the Heroes. Mrs. Olena, please tell us, how is the situation now
[00:29:55] in the Lyman direction, the third
[00:29:59] stage of the operation, the offensive operation.
[00:30:02] Vivaldi has ended,
[00:30:04] what is happening now, that is, are we in
[00:30:08] the process of the fourth season of Vivaldi or
[00:30:12] the fourth part of the operation,
[00:30:15] the offensive operation of Vivaldi, or are there other tasks
[00:30:19] facing our defense forces that
[00:30:22] are working in the Lyman direction, and in particular
[00:30:26] regarding your unmanned systems battalion
[00:30:29] Mara, I hope. that our
[00:30:33] seasons will continue even more successfully, and
[00:30:37] quite soon we will see Ukraine with
[00:30:40] all its territory that
[00:30:43] belongs to us by right. As for the enemy,
[00:30:47] after the enemy was forced
[00:30:51] to report the real state of affairs to his command, they
[00:30:54] became more actively trying to infiltrate in small groups
[00:30:57] to sneak through all of us.
