and about mobilization, and about the prospects of a new offensive. thank you very much. the russian army launched 99 drones and missiles over ukraine overnight. at least such numbers were announced in the air force. see what the city of kamianske in the dnipropetrovsk region looks like. these are the shots of the consequences of the attack on civilians taken today by radio liberty correspondents. in the private sector, houses were broken and cars burned, five people were injured. and there is a child among them, there was a very loud whistling, rockets, hum, the ear stopped, it seemed to break, we crouched down, what was raining down on us , we don’t know if it was shrapnel, rockets were found, well, shrapnel from rockets, the children were very scared, the grandchildren, they cried, ran to her, to my house, to my husband and i in the basement, well to the basement, the grave, here, well, such trouble, well , our neighbor is nearby, he is now in a coma, i have to cover

everything with blood, because my son ran and pulled him out, there was also a wife, a family of young people and a boy, 8 years old, the child was also cut, but not very legs, i know, they say, live in the territory of the good, i live, i do not wish them anything bad, let it be to him as it is to me. at night to everyone, but no more, so be it. the president of ukraine, volodymyr zelenskyi , stated that the kaniv and dniester hydroelectric power stations were the deliberate targets of the russian night attack. as a result of the attack, the energy infrastructure was damaged in the dnipropetrovsk, vinnytsia, ivano-frankivsk, lviv, cherkasy, and chernivtsi regions. emergency blackouts began in some regions. this was reported to ukrenergo. in particular , electricity is supplied according to the schedule in kryvyi rih and kharkiv. i will remind here. what 22

in march, kharkiv experienced almost the biggest attack on its energy system since the beginning of the russian invasion, tec-5 was destroyed, and it may take years to restore it, the press service of the thermal power plant said. there is no light in the houses of kharkiv residents for 4-7 hours a day, and the heating season in the city has ended prematurely. and last night, for the second time in the past few days, russian forces targeted the lviv region in the area of ​​the city of stryi, where a large gas storage facility is located. we see that, unlike last year, russia has started to attack the ukrainian energy system in the spring, in fact before the end of the heating season, and not before its beginning, as was the case before. what all this means, what safety margin the ukrainian energy system has, we will talk about this later. mykhailo gonchar, president of the strategy of the 21st century center for global studies, joins the broadcast. good evening. i congratulate you. my question is obvious, firstly, why is russia stocking up on missiles right now, because at

the end of the heating season , attacks on critical energy facilities begin infrastructure? i don't think they start, you ask the wrong question, they continue, but there were such powerful ones, for example, there was no fall, there was no fall, but let's remember the season of 22-23, autumn-winter, then there were massive attacks, so the largest of them was smaller than the one that was... on march 2, but again, on november 23, 2022, the system, the unified system of ukraine was in a blackout, now there is no blackout, so if you were to paint an apocalyptic scenario worth of course, blows are not inflicted by accident, they just happened the aggressor has a different scale of priorities, and during practically the fall and winter of this year. they

prioritized strikes on the objects of the defense-industrial complex and military objects, their stock of missiles is large, but not unlimited, therefore, accordingly, priority number one was determined in this way, in the future, taking into account that the energy system of ukraine as a whole already does not have that reserve, and generating capacity, and transmission power'. stay after the strikes of 22-23, then they could at any time take it up later. of course, the effect would be absolutely the other, if they did it there in the winter, is more critical. but it is obvious that at that time the priorities for the objects of the military and the defense-industrial complex were worked out. therefore, if here in reality, this is a continuation of everything that was. if you remembered tes-5 in kharkiv, then it is worth recalling that... the first

blows and destructive blows on tpp-5 in kharkiv were on september 11, 2022, so from this , you can say, everything started and continued, but now in the press service of the they said that they will not restore it in a year and the reconstruction will actually be equal to the second one there buildings, that is, very serious damage , you said that this time there was no blackout, but can we then assess the state of the destruction and safety margin if the attacks are repeated, you say that there are many missiles in russia, yes , many, but the supply of these missiles is inexhaustible, and one has to choose between where to hit. so now they've widened the scope of the targets when they're listing the areas where there's critical infrastructure so to speak that's been hit, and critical energy infrastructure is in every area, so of course the strikes now are applied to the key objects of shunting

generation, shunting generation is thermal, which is actually the largest in the company, and hydrogeneration of hydroelectric power, which... the company ukrhydroenergo is leading, and in this sense they are trying to achieve the same state of the power system as they managed to do in november 22, but then the blackout of the system there lasted literally several hours, the system was restored, now they are setting the same goal, well, with the proviso that one way or another during the period of... restoration and repair work after the autumn-winter the period of 22-23 years, of course, he improved the condition of the system more, but this does not mean that it was completely 100% restored, so yes, it was already affected with smaller reserves of power, strength, there flexibility, but they

are trying now , so to speak, well you can say zero that stock, well as we can see, it's... it works, it doesn't mean that the strikes will be stopped, besides, a different target, especially when we talk about the fact that the missiles are there and the drones fly towards targets in the western region of ukraine, this is considered a target to disrupt the integration of the ukrainian european energy system, something we achieved just at the critical time of the start of the full-scale russian invasion in february. 22nd year , so there is such a comprehensive approach here, it is actually, in retrospect, not new, in other words, they continue to do what they started back in 22nd year, it's just that, if

a certain stock of means of defeat and compliance was developed before the prioritization that was determined, they were doing one thing, so to speak, and now they switched to... another, so here in fact, if there is nothing new. in kharkiv, i said, i mentioned, and yesterday the people of kharkiv also told us that they do not have electricity for 4-7 hours a day. and you assume that ukraine enters there in the spring and summer, and there will again be these fan blackouts across the country, as was the case on the 23rd and the 22nd, yes, i assume, i completely assume such a thing, but this, let’s say, not a worse option because the power system. must be balanced, then one way or another, in the event that there is not enough capacity, it will be necessary to switch off alternately, well kharkiv is now, so to speak , a special case, well, it is well known that it

is located near the border, practically with russia, and they have been working and working, and obviously they will work, if you even abstract from the topic of electricity and listen to what that... have been aired by russian propagandists for the past few days, it is about the transformation of kharkiv into the syrian aleppo, which is why, of course, it will be especially difficult for the people of kharkiv in this regard, but one way or another, the energy supply will be restored simply according to a different scheme, of course, but this will not solve the problem of strikes on kharkiv, as well as on some other uh... positions in ukraine where critical energy infrastructure facilities are located. i have one last clarification, here is volodymyr zelenskyi, when he said today that the kaniv and dniester hydroelectric power plants were deliberate targets, he also said that now not only ukraine, but also moldova is under threat, can you

elaborate on what it is about, well and in this case, i understand that moldova is a no no no a nato country, but nevertheless, can there be any, in principle, is there any answer? on this from the european union, from the countries of the west, if other countries will also be under this threat? well, there is an answer, only they do not resort to it, it is necessary to make an appropriate one. umbrella of anti-aircraft defense, why dniester, dniester hpp was attacked, because we have two hydroelectric cascades, the dnieper, the most powerful, there is also a hpp on the dniester, and the tashlyk hydro-accumulating station, that is , the damage to hydropower facilities they are done with the aim of reducing our maneuvering capabilities, it will also have some effect on moldova from the point of view that the dniester is... the river is important both for ukraine and for moldova, so the concern is understandable,

but again, ukraine and moldova should jointly demand from now on active measures to provide anti-aircraft means, additional anti-flood defense means for this south-western region of ukraine, this is not new, they have already appealed to them more than once and asked and in principle, so to speak , have some hopes that french initiative the president, if... that according to her there will be specific cases, then they can make efforts in this context as well and work on such a franco-ukrainian- moldovan brotherhood in arms, let's say, in defense, in creating air defense to ensure against damage to critical energy infrastructure facilities, i will say, it has nothing to do with the topic at all, but if we talk about the moldova conspiracy... well, the media write with reference to sources in the president's office that it is possible oleksiy danilov, former secretary of the national security council,

will go as an ambassador to moldova, let's see, so far he himself has not commented on this. thank you very much, mykhailo gonchar, president of the center for global studies strategy of the 21st century. we talked about the consequences of an attack on ukraine's energy infrastructure. thank you. a citizen of russia, bohdan lviv does not lose hope of returning to the chair. judges of the supreme court of ukraine. lviv was released in september 22 , when our colleagues, journalists, investigators from the scheme program, discovered that judge bohdan lviv has a russian passport. he received it in 1999 in moscow. then lviv was the head of the commercial court of cassation as part of the supreme court of ukraine. in october 12th, a new passport of a citizen of russia was issued in the name of bohdan lviv, when he was a judge of the higher economic court of ukraine. bohdan lviv also has an individual tax number in the official register of the federal tax service, which

is linked to his russian passport, in other words, the whole set. but according to the constitution of ukraine, the acquisition by a judge of the citizenship of another country, based on this is a direct basis to terminate his powers. a ukrainian judge simply cannot be a citizen of another state. after the investigation was released in the fall of the 22nd, lviv was dismissed from the staff of the supreme court on the basis of a letter from the sbu, then the security service confirmed... the presence of russian citizenship in the ukrainian judge, but after some time lviv appealed his dismissal to the kyiv district judge. the supreme court declared that they do not agree with lviv's reinstatement and appealed to the court of appeal. and literally the day before the sixth court of appeals began consideration of the case on the reinstatement of bohdan lviv as a judge of the supreme court, but no decision was made, the meeting was postponed to april 25. the representative of the security service of ukraine noted that... at the court, it is impossible to officially confirm lviv 's citizenship of the russian federation, but actually,

how to understand it and what it means, we will now sort it out, georgy shabaev, a journalist of the scheme program, joins our broadcast the author of the investigation about bohdan lviv, giorgia, hello, hello, yesterday i followed, yesterday you followed how this meeting was held court, i followed that, your reaction, and you wrote that you had been searching for words for a long time to describe what was happening in the court, where it was decided whether to reinstate a citizen of the russian federation in office or not, and you stated , that you did not find such words, now tell in detail what is meant and what shocks you about what happened yesterday? you know, something actually happened yesterday, for which those who now have a russian passport and work in the state apparatus, in ukrainian courts and so on can be very happy further. because we saw a very weak position of the security service of ukraine in court. first of all, it

concerned exactly the evidence that the security service of ukraine used to send a letter to the supreme court about the presence of citizenship of the russian federation in the lviv court. it was back in october 22, when we issued an investigation that such a passport really exists in lviv. then the sbu analyzed this evidence and sent a letter. and to the supreme court, where she pointed out that there really is such a citizenship, but at the same time in court, when they had already started to analyze this letter, when they began to analyze more letters of the security service of ukraine, it became clear. that the representative of the security service of ukraine could not clearly say from which databases exactly these data were obtained, that is, the judge asked the representative of the security service of ukraine several times what kind of data this was, it was official data, she was a little confused as to whether it was official or unofficial data, she also could not clearly say whether the verification of

bohdan lviv's citizenship is still ongoing, or whether it has already been completed, since such the check was reported by them on a sheet. to the supreme court on the basis of this very letter , bohdan lviv was dismissed from the position of judge of the cassation economic court, that is , in fact, we did not see any clear and understandable interpretation of what actually became the basis for saying that lviv has russian citizenship. we saw a very unconvincing, very, let's say, sloppy position of the security service of ukraine, which resulted even in such, let's say, materials in zmi, where in general , the mass media reported that, as it were, the security service of ukraine did not even was able to confirm that she took information about lviv's russian passport from official databases, although this is not quite the case, it could have given the impression, judging by her speech, and as for the official confirmation of bohdan lviv's citizenship, it is indeed official now it is impossible to establish this, since diplomatic ties with

the aggressor country have been severed, but at the same time from what the judge told during the trial. he said that society actually expects from you, from the security service of ukraine, information about whether is lviv really a citizen of the russian federation or not, because we all understand that it is impossible to confirm this officially, but we hope that the next meetings will change this situation a little, and it will be work on errors carried out in the service, and please tell me, yes in reality, the security service of ukraine can provide such evidence to the court, they, that is, they have it , or they don't have it... and that's why their position collapsed in court, but they have it, and indeed they are exactly what they were and with us, they used official databases, this is the first the database of the federal tax service of the russian federation, the data on the russian passport of bohdan lviv are added, as well as the data on his russian tax number, they also

used the databases of the ministry of internal affairs of the russian federation, where it was also stated that this passport has love, it is valid, that is, this is the main thing, the main thing that the court tried, what information did the court try to get from the representative of the sbu, but again, she seems to have floated a little in this, that is, she could not clearly answer that it for the bases, what are they called, what are they , how are they regulated, what are they regulated by, in fact, so of course they can establish this, society relies on them to establish this necessity. the citizenship of the russian federation despite the fact that diplomatic relations with the aggressor country , they were terminated, that's how, and you, george, drew conclusions for yourself, this is a deliberate position of the sbu service, i don't know if it's just a lack of personnel and there are no specialists to adequately represent this position in court, this is

really a question that i ask myself from the very beginning the beginning of this trial, because... the representative of the sbu was not convincing in the first-instance judge either, but the judges there, the judge did not so thoroughly examine all the evidence that is available in this case, right then the judges really tried to clearly understand whether there , are there any databases, why was there another letter from the security service of ukraine, where they indicated that there are certain disagreements, that is, that they generally tried to understand a certain picture and understand what the position of the security service of ukraine is, in my opinion. that there really is room for a little certainty incompetence on the part of the representative of the security service of ukraine, and we will understand, for sure, whether this is really done on purpose, that the position of the security service of ukraine is so weak, or whether after this meeting, the security service of ukraine will finally draw some conclusions, maybe another representative of the security service of ukraine, because in the legal

department of the security services, i am sure there are many people who can still professionally represent the sbu. we have very little time, i will ask you to explain literally in two sentences: if a judge with a russian passport will be reinstated as a ukrainian judge, what will this mean? it will mean that other judges with russian passports who are currently representing ukraine will raise their heads and understand that they are not in danger because they have a russian passport. thank you very much, georgy shabaev, journalist of radio liberty's schema program. that's all we have for today, i urge you to subscribe to the radio liberty page on the internet, like this broadcast, questions, remarks, comments are welcome in the podrans chat.

helped by caring people who called our hotline 116.30 and reported everything they knew about the girl. and most importantly, a decisive role was played by our osin analysts, who, with the help of special search methods in open sources, found. margarita's mother and we were finally able to contact her, and now i will tell the story of margarita nosova in more detail and how her search took place. so, the connection with the girl ended on february 24, 2022. then she lived in mariupol. with a missing person report margarita, a resident of the city of zaporozhye, turned to us and told a somewhat confusing story. she said that... at the beginning of the war , she received a message on viber from the number of her friend who lived in mariupol, but she wrote: not her friend, but an unknown man. he

wrote that he was staying... in mariupol, and his wife and daughter, in fact, according to him , margarita nosova, disappeared in the chaos of the war . a man who introduced himself as margarita's father asked him to help in the search and spread information, the phone is in my i dropped my friends on viber, i understood that something had happened there, he was from mariuppol himself, i asked how i could help, and he gave me the details of the eyes, if i could find them, and asked me to find margarita, because he does not know. well, this is his daughter, i understand, he doesn't know where she was, he himself was in mariupol and wrote to me how their apartment was bombed, and let's actually see a fragment of this correspondence, this message was written by the alleged father of margarita nosova. our apartment had two hits from a tank, two huge holes in the kitchen bedroom, the kitchen and bathroom became one room. hello, sasha, my name is lyudmila, i'm from zaporozhye, this is the phone of my friend, whom

i... mrs. lyudmila did not remain indifferent to someone else's plight and passed on to the police and the child tracing service the data that her alleged father reported about margarita. unfortunately, he did not give any more details and has not been in touch since then. the search for margarita went on for two years, witnesses told us something, for which we thank them very much, but accurate and reliable information about the girl. there was no, and when it seemed, searches came to a dead end, our osintanalysts, who are looking for information in open sources, managed to identify margarita's mother and find her page in one of the social networks. imagine our joy when we saw that margarita's photo, published on her mother's page, was dated september 1, 2022. this means that with a high probability

everything is fine with the girl. she and her mother managed to get out of the war-torn mariupol and on september 1, judging by the photo, margarita went to school. as for her whereabouts, her mother's page the city of sevastopol is indicated, so we assume that they, fleeing the war, ended up in the temporarily occupied crimea. of course, we immediately wrote to margarita's mother and fortunately, she answered. i wrote very briefly, but the most important thing is what happened to margarita... of course, we immediately passed this information on to the police, but it was not possible to report this to the man who introduced himself as margarita's father and asked for help in the search, because there is currently no contact with him . margarita herself

officially still remains. wanted, because at our request her mother has not yet provided a photo or video confirmation that the girl is really with her, so that we can be 100% sure of this, but we can already say with a very high probability that everything is fine with the child, she is with her mother, and this, of course, is the most important thing in this story. i welcome voice of america in ukrainian and our chas time program. my name is ostap yarysh. the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff of the usa, charles brown, had a telephone conversation with the ukrainian chief of staff oleksandr

syrskyi. among other. they discussed the situation on the battlefield and further efforts with support of ukraine. before that, in a press conference, general charles brown said that the pentagon no longer considers providing ukraine with long-range atacams missiles a risky step. kyiv has long been calling on washington to provide more such missiles to protect against russian aggression, however, it is currently known about the transfer of only a small batch of modified ones last year. meanwhile, the us ambassador in kyiv, bridget bring, once again emphasized: ukraine urgently needs. aid from the united states, the diplomat said against the background of regular missile attacks russian attacks on ukrainian cities. russia's barbaric attempts to deprive millions of men, women and children of electricity continue unchecked. our help is needed right now, - said bridget brink. in his turn, serhiy kyslytsia, ukraine's ambassador to the un, also reacted to the russian shelling by addressing the american media. good morning, how was your night? checking the sky and forecast?
