My greetings, this is the Svoboda Ranok project, my name is oleg galiv and we are starting, we marry mothers with many children, forge documents and go to the breach through barbed wire. Ukrainian Border Guards told how men of conscription age trying to enter the European Union illegally to avoid mobilization. We have passed the crisis moment, this is how the head of the Main Intelligence Department, kyrylo budanov, describes the Current Situation at the zaporizhzhia as occupied by Russian Troops. At the same time, budanov says that the world is rapidly approaching a global war. Does a global war mean the third world war and what conflicts are there besides the largescale war of russia against ukraine. Events in israel will precede this. Already this sunday, poles will elect deputies and senators. This election called the most important in the last 35 years. The main intrigue of the election race is whether kaczynskis ruling law and Justice Party will come to power for the third time, or whether the opposition Civil Coalition with donald tusk will win. My colleagues will tell you the details of the election process in neighboring poland and why ukraine is also waiting for the results of these elections. Dont forget to subscribe to radio libertys youtube channel. That you havent done it yet, and also write in the chat under the broadcast where you are watching us from. In transcarpathia, 12 people tried in the last day illegally cross the state border. All of them are men of conscription age from different regions of ukraine, the state Border Service says. So, Border Guards stopped three residents of bukovyna 30 meters from the border with hungary, the other detainees tried to get to romania in order to cross the state border, Border Guards say. The men had a radio with them. Stations, night vision devices and thermal imagers. And the number of cases of illegal crossing of the border in 2023 is less compared to the past, but they still exist Border Guards say. Since the beginning of this year employees of the lviv border detachment detained 130 men who are citizens of ukraine aged 18 to 60. All of them tried to cross the Ukrainian Border in the green lane, that is, outside the official checkpoints. This is just one of the ways that men of honor choose. Age in order to illegally enter the territory of the eu and avoid mobilization, the department notes. Another option is with forged documents already at the checkpoints themselves. In total, since the beginning of the year, more than 700 people with documents with signs of forgery have been found in checkpoints in the area of the lviv border guard. Quite often, such cases happen precisely at night, when citizens take into account that it is possible that the inspectors actions will not be carried out at night, well, maybe. A little less alert than during the day. The most common way to cross the border today , according to the state Border Service, is to conclude fictitious marriages with mothers of many children and to accompany people with disabilities, although sometimes it is illegal to cross the border, men try to use ordinary online maps. Radio svoboda told about this the head of the operativeinvestigative division of the border detachment of the state Border Service, who wished to remain unnamed. The most interesting thing is, perhaps, when a person tried not to cross the state border on foot, but , apparently, in order to take all his property and leave the territory of ukraine, he tried to cross the state border directly by car, bypassing all these settlements, just not she succeeded, because she got stuck in the field, lets say, and didnt want to leave the car, so she was detained. All those arrested for the attempt of illegal crossing of the border outside the Border Crossing points, or with signs of documents , the employees of the Border Service hand over to the police. Andriy demchenko, spokesperson of the state Border Guard Service of ukraine joins our broadcast. I welcome you. Congratulations to the studio. Mr. Andriy, we know the situation in the lviv border detachment, your colleagues told us about it, how many attempts to illegally cross the border by men of conscription age were there during the entire time of the great war, or at the beginning, for example this year, along all sections of the border of ukraine, which are , if do you have these numbers . Well, actually, i can confirm the data of my colleagues that such attempts, unfortunately, continue, they remain so constant recently, according to indicators, it is somewhere around 30 People Per DayBorder Guards detain for trying to illegally cross the border as outside the border checkpoints, as well as at checkpoints, but now it is much less than it was in the first months , when martial law was introduced, when border restrictions began to apply, because then we could detain 80 and 90 people at the border 24 hours a day, who tried to illegally cross the state border line, if we talk about the statistical data from february 24 of last year, then at the moment, about 15,800 people who tried to illegally cross the state border line directly were detained outside the checkpoints, and 6,900 people were caught at checkpoints trying to use fake documents on the routes where you can legally cross the border. If we talk about the green area of the border, that is, outside the points pass, the most such attempts are recorded both before and now at the border with romania and moldova, but as for illegal crossings with forged documents, the most such attempts take place at the border with poland, well , in fact, it should be taken into account that the border with poland is the largest passenger traffic, it is somewhere over 50 of the total passenger traffic along the entire section, the border, ah, and that is where the most attempts to illegally cross the border with forged documents are recorded. Mr. Andrii, here is the moment that is emphasized the Border Guards with whom our colleagues spoke, this is the moment that concerns the conclusion of marriages, which are called fictitious, when, for example, a young man marries an older woman who, for example, has health problems, because she is a mother of many children, as be with such cases, for example, if everything is done legally, but there are signs that this marriage may be fictitious in the context of how it was concluded, for what purpose, how the Border Guards can cope with it, or in this context, you cant actually act in any way . Well, on unfortunately, it is quite difficult to detect, but we also had cases when a man, taking into account all, all the circumstances, taking into account all the information that was available at the time of crossing the border, which of course is analyzed in each, each case, the Border Guards can also find that, well, in fact , this is a fictitious relationship between people, during the filtering of persons who are trying to do this, they also confirm that, for example, a man paid money, and a woman, for example , admits that she received money to improve her financial situation, and a man actually used it for the illegal way of crossing the border, then in the future representatives of other Law Enforcement agencies also work with them in order to prove their guilt and bring them to justice, it is difficult, but in this direction we also work in order to to make it impossible to illegally cross the border, even in such cases. A very important point, these are actually fake documents, which the Border Guards also talk about, how high. Quality these fake documents are and are they all the necessary equipment for the example of the state Border Service in order to detect that, for example, these protective elements , which should be on the documents, they are counterfeited there with high quality, but still it is a fake, the checkpoints also have technical equipment to check the documents on item, do they have signs of forgery, and this is done daily, it turns out, as we can see even from those statistics. But i can point out that in the last few months we have recorded that the number of attempts to cross the border with forged documents is somewhat decreased, instead, the number of attempts to illegally cross the state border along the green section of the border increased, that is, in fact, the violators, as well as those organizers who assist them in the production of fake documents, understand that it is costly, that it takes time, that it does not always give the desired result, which everyone, each one of them is waiting for, that is why they retrain more for the green border area, which is one question, whether there were cases when, for example, citizens of ukraine still managed to cross the border illegally, they got into the territory of the European Union, and for example, poland , romania, and hungary, after that, handed back to ukraine those men who were found in their possession, for example, on the green strip of the border, without documents and that they crossed the border illegally. You see, the length of the border is quite high, quite large, of course, measures are being taken to strengthen the line to the state border, as well as measures are taking place at the border and active work is ongoing with the Border Guards of neighboring countries in order to prevent illegal Border Crossings on both sides of the border because how we can see that right now there is a violation in the direction of exit or exit from ukraine in order to get to the countries with which ukraine borders, but, unfortunately, there may be cases when persons illegally. Cut the border along the green part of the border, first of all, i can speak the language, but they need to understand that in the future, when they return to ukraine, they will also be held accountable, because we can see whether a person left ukraine legally or illegally, so if they hope in order to avoid responsibility, this is not the case, and there are cases when people are already returning, those who illegally crossed the border through the green section of the border, but did not find what they wanted outside of ukraine, return home, they are attracted to responsibility, operational employees also work with them in order to understand under what scheme and who assisted them in such an illegal journey, because criminal liability is provided for the organization of illegally transporting people across the border or assisting in this, for and therefore. we are working with Law Enforcement agencies in order to bring such persons to justice, and of course, the legislation of those countries is in force on the territory of those countries where violators enter, and it applies to them and is cases when our neighboring countries also returned violators of the state border, another question will concern the fact that from october 16, citizens of ukraine will be able to enter russia only through the lodonka road checkpoint this is the pskov region on the border with latvia and the air point is located at the sheremetyevo airport in moscow, well, at least this is reported by russian state agencies. Leave, for the territory of the Russian Federation, can return to their homeland . Well, we fixed this message that appeared in the russian media, on this. The ministry of Foreign Affairs of ukraine also tweeted, spreading its comment that on the 16th, citizens of ukraine will be able to enter to russia, following from third countries only through two directions, this is the shermetiv airport and one of the checkpoints on the border with latvia. Years will be able to cross or enter russia accompanied by citizens of the Russian Federation , then in fact this is a continuation of those steps to kidnap ukrainian children, or, in fact, pressure on citizens of ukraine, including in the occupied territories, so that, ensure the passportization of citizens of ukraine so that they receive a russian passport. In fact, russia is covering up. Security for its citizens there, it continues its terrorist actions, which it carried out before. Thank you, regarding the return of ukrainian citizens, although the checkpoints on the border with russia and belarus are closed, if ukrainian citizens arrive at the Ukrainian Border in any of the directions , they will be provided with access to the territory. Of ukraine, of course citizens of ukraine can leave russia through the border with the countries of the European Union, which was also emphasized by the ministry of Foreign Affairs of ukraine, which calls on citizens of ukraine to leave the borders of russia after all, because the diplomatic institutions of our country in the territory of the terrorists country do not function and to ensure security for of our citizens on the territory of russia is quite difficult. Thank you, mr. Andriy, this is a very important moment, thank you. Who found time to tune in, andriy demchenko, spokesperson of the state Border Guard Service of ukraine, guest of our broadcast, we they talked about the illegal crossing of the border by ukrainian citizens, as well as whether ukrainians who are in russia have the opportunity to return. To the homeland and how to do it . Meanwhile, in three days of an active offensive, Russian Forces captured 5. 5 km of territory near avdiivka, the American Institute for the study of war reports. However, they say there that the russian army has not made a serious breakthrough and is unlikely to be able to cut off the armed forces of ukraine from the city. The fact that the successes of the Russian Army Near Avdiivka are small are also written about the russians the public military telegramchannel two major, the day before reported that the russian army. Captured the terekon near avdiyivka and said that the city was now in the palm of the hand, but this information is refuted by analysts of the ukrainian deepstate project, who monitor the course of the war. They say that Russian Forces actively advanced on terykon during the day, but they took it, they could not occupy the height. The dibstate also says that the offensive of Russian Forces in the area of pervomaiskyi and the northern one, in the south of avdiyivka, was also unsuccessful, but heavy the situation near krasnogohororivka, where Russian Troops periodically reach the railway, but they can gain a foothold say deepstate. I would like to point out that in the summary for yesterday, the general staff of ukraine wrote that the armed forces of ukraine repelled seven attacks on avdiivka and the same number in the direction northwest of the city and near pisok. And in russia, the ministry of defense declares that they are striking the positions of the armed forces of ukraine with attack aircraft. Meanwhile , the Russian State Agency tas reported in the morning that the armed forces of ukraine allegedly transfer reserves to the avdiiv direction from bakhmut and refer to the occupation adviser. Of the socalled dnr of yan gagin, in the same bakhmut direction, an initiative of the armed forces of ukraine. Defense forces continue to advance in the south of the city near klishchiivka and andriivka and have pushed back Russian Troops near oziryanivka, deepstate reports. They also say that former members of wagners communist party, who signed a contract with the Russian Ministry of defense, arrived at this section of the front. They are supposedly formed into the storm v detachment. And here is one more eastern one direction, kupyanskyi are already advancing. Russian forces. According to the general staff of the armed forces of ukraine, four attacks in the synkivka district of the Luhansk Region and eight attacks in the ivannivka district of the Kharkiv Region were repelled in the last day. Ilya yevlash, head of the press service of the Eastern Group of troops, the armed forces of ukraine, joins our broadcast. I welcome you. Good morning studio. Glory to ukraine. Glory to heroes. What are the changes over the past day in the avdiyiv, bakhmut and kupyan directions. If you can tell us very briefly, i will be grateful. Well, yes avdiivskyi, i cannot, because it is not my area of responsibility, but for lymano kupianskyi, of course, i will report that the enemy continues to intensively increase his artillery fire, in particular, he uses his mortars very powerfully, he carried out more than three hundred such firepower in the past day from of this type of weaponry, also uses rocket salvo systems, artillery systems, tanks of various types of grenade launchers and army and Tactical Aviation, in particular, he carried out 12 airstrikes on the positions of the armed forces of ukraine, 623 attacks in general, carried out according to the positions of our defenders. In addition, he uses kamikaze drones, trichynars on our trenches, and 25 combat encounters took place with the enemy, during which he lost, 284 occupiers were eliminated. Also, we are working very actively on the enemys heavy equipment, 28 units of weapons and military equipment. The enemy was destroyed during the past day, including two t724 tanks, armored fighting vehicles, including bmp 1. 2 and btr 80i, five mstas howitzers , two more acacias, three d20 guns, 120 caliber, one hyacinth and one rapier. It also succeeded eliminate one lancet and inflict fire damage on six vehicles used by the enemy to transport his personnel. Ammunition, as for the bakhmut direction, here the initiative remains with the position of the armed forces of ukraine, in particular on its southern flank, there we continue the offensive operation, we have success near andriyivka, klishchiivka, near bakhmut and ivanovsky, the enemy fired 535 shots at our forces, also used aviation twice, now in this direction he began to use it less, combat clashes have passed since the enemy, during which 135 enemies were eliminated, it was also possible to destroy a lot of equipment, these are seven enemy tanks, one armored personnel carrier, two, two armored combat vehicles, one bmp, and among powerful installations it was possible to inflict fire damage on 2s4 tulip 240 millimeter artillery installation, this a largecaliber mortar, one of the largest that the Occupying Army has in its arsenal, it was also destroyed, er, in addition to this , one b200 hyacinth was hit and blown up and four d20 guns and another 930, guns were damaged by our fire, our guys from pezrk and rebu worked very well, we managed to eliminate 14 fpv drones that did not reach their target, and three more formations from bc flew into the air. In addition, it was possible to detect the enemys arrow 10 antiaircraft missile complex, which was also hit by our fire, which was hunting our unmanned aerial vehicles, preventing our army and Tactical Aviation from developing. Now. One such complex is disabled. Mr. Ilya, but if we are talking about the kupyan direction, earlier there were statements about the fact that the transfer of the troops of the Russian Armed forces is actually going there, if we take into account this transfer, if it is still ongoing, if it is not continuing, what is the total number of Russian Forces concentrated in this direction now . Well, as majorgeneral guru, mr. Skibitsky, previously reported , more than 4,000, 430, if i m not mistaken, are concentrated in the territory of ukraine. In the manokupyan direction , there is now a fairly powerful group, this is more than 110,000 personnel, a little more than a thousand tanks, almost 2000 armored fighting vehicles, more than 7. 5 hundreds of artillery systems and almost half a thousand rocket systems of salvo fire of various types, a powerful group, but the enemy still uses the same primitive tactics, concentrating large troops on small areas of the front, as it was before, makiivka, ivanovka, and serebryansk forestry, now he he tries to choose such a small area of the front where , in his opinion, there can be success and accumulates his considerable forces there, but they are not particularly distinguished by tactics, they are still the same direct frontal collisions, meat assaults, scrap metal assaults, when he sends his tanks simply in columns, which are destroyed by our calculations. Pzrk, atrk, i apologize, but recently the 66th brigade destroyed 25 enemy tanks in four days, among which most of them were t72, there were also samples of t80 and even t90 broke through one of the advanced tanks, that is, the tactics remain the same, but we already know how to counter, we have something to counter, and we inflict a powerful blow in all directions of the mountain. Ilya, we have literally a minute and a half left, there are two more important questions, kupyansk, kupyansk knotty, important for the Russian Federation, because there is a railway there and this is obviously a strengthening of logistical routes, currently in this direction the Russian Forces have from where and how to deliver their own reinforcements, they have enough logistical routes, yes, unfortunately enough, because they have a rather large border, uncovered , from the temporarily occupied territory with russia , from where they can unimpededly deliver aid to themselves in any volume, so in this regard they have no problems, they can transfer, since there is this gap and quite thorough, through which they transport ammunition, personnel, and various types of support, and one more question, it will relate to yesterdays information about the destruction of the bridge on the road between the temporarily occupied horlivka tasynuvata of the donetsk region, if in in this context, do you have any information, please tell me the details, maybe you know something more, well , of course, the detonation of this route will be another such bell for the fact that the Group Located further south it will be more difficult for bakhmut, because of course this route led from donetsk, and it was one of the short roads along which the enemy could quickly transfer some of the most necessary means that he needed, of course, in the conditions of such a high intensity of the war, even a day two layoffs, it can lead to various consequences, and of course this will affect the course of hostilities, the shoulder of the carriage will of course increase, and this is the first bell, or rather the second, the first was fire control over the bakhmudgorlovka highway, now there is still a bridge here blew up, and such attacks, such and such actions, i think will continue until we completely cut off all these logistical routes and bleed the enemy group in this direction, of course the enemy will find some ways, will make embankments and temporary fortifications , but this is already serious damage, through such. Wiring, it is, of course, that will be reflected in the future on the supply of the course of hostilities. Thank you very much, ilya, for turning on, ilya yavlash, head of the preservice of the Eastern Group of the armed forces of ukraine, about the situation, actually at the front, as it is today. We are on the brink of a global war, kyrylo budanov, the head of the Main Intelligence Department of the ministry of defense, said in an interview with the ukrainian pravda newspaper. This is how he answered the question is the world today on the threshold of the third world war, however, head gur emphasized that this is his subjective opinion. Looking at the totality of geography, at the totality of countries involved in one way or another in this process, yes, and we see. Several conflicts that at first glance appear to be regional, except for ukraine, yes, but they are all connected to each other by the same countries, so it is, if you will , we can say a network, so yes, i think that after all, we are approaching a global war quite quickly, in terms of russias war against ukraine, then in an interview with ukrainian pravda, the head of intelligence no longer gives predictions about the end of the war and says we are off schedule, he does not explain in detail what he means and adds that russia has a lot of human resources, but not so much armed and economic resources. According to, lets say, the assessment of the economy, without any particular problems, lets say yes, by the 25th year, russia can afford it, in terms of the amount of equipment, well, by the 26th year this is the maximum, but rather faster, because the rate of destruction and restoration of equipment that is happening now with them, they are not such, the rates of recovery are not so high, but the rates of destruction are very high, that is, the losses are not covered by repairs by the production of new ones, well, its the same, weve been going out with you for about the 25th year, in terms of human resources, its completely understandable, we dont even say that, now i dont want to tell you the figure for a long time, regarding combat actions in israel, then budanov is sure that russia contributed to this escalation , according to the head of the Main Intelligence Department, several facts indicate this firstly, a week before the start of these actions, a russian satellite station began to speak officially in the arabic language on the territory of lebanon with propaganda narratives, says budanov, secondly , on september 24, a russian spacecraft capable of conducting radioelectronic reconnaissance and interception of satellite signals was moved to the geostationary orbit of israel, on the same day in iran there was the official visit of the Russian Military delegation, according to the head of ukrainian intelligence, whether the hostilities between israel and hamas will affect aid to ukraine from the event will be seen in a few weeks, so far ukraine is provided with military aid until the middle of next year says budanov. If the conflict is limited in time, lets say, quite quickly, up to a few weeks, in principle there is nothing to worry about, if this situation drags on, it is quite. Clear that there will be certain problems with the fact that not only in armed ammunition will have to be supplied to ukraine. We will analyze these statements of mr. Budanov together with our guest, oleksiy melnyk, codirector of the Foreign Policy and International Security program, coordinator of international projects, joins our broadcast, i congratulate you, i congratulate you. Actually , the topic that worries many people is whether the world is really on the threshold of the third world war. The war in ukraine, events in israel, south korea will be afraid of an attack from the north, the usa is constantly preparing for a confrontation with china, what should be understood from all this, is it really the world is one step closer to the war, which can be called the third and which bodanov calls global, some already consider that this war has begun, but since in the case, lets say this, if there are analogies with another world war, then they are more inclined to the fact that its still the 39th year and going back, lets say, to the historical experience, analyzing the mistakes that were made by the key world players, er, there is hope that the worstcase scenario can still be avoided, but at the same time it takes determination, it takes courage , it requires action from those from whom now, significant extent depends. How events will develop in the future. Mr. Oleksiy, budanov gave his assessment of how much longer the Russian Federation can wage war against ukraine, the year 2025 is mentioned there, the 26th, there are generally a lot of people in russia, taking into account the equipment and money and assessing this situation as a whole, how do you feel to this estimate, what is your realistic forecast of how long russia can fight against ukraine if, for example, it will have support from iran and north korea . It is difficult to answer. Unequivocally to your question, how much more russia can do to fight, it depends on many factors, including the intensity of hostilities. In july of this year, the Rozumkov Center also did such a project, there is a publication on our website, an assessment of potentials, and in principle, these assessments coincide, well, i mean only with what it says about what
