, 2024, as russia is now trying to pump in on its information resources, including abroad, they want to start a campaign, i as i understand it, illegitimacy, or questioning the legitimacy of president zelensky, what can ukraine oppose to this, given that there is no decision of the Constitutional Court on this matter, and why there is no such decision, well, in order to. Well, confirm and to say that we have a decision of the Constitutional Court, look, there are no problems, and at whom is russia directing this campaign regarding the loss of legitimacy of zelenskyi and the fact that russia now does not know with whom to negotiate or negotiate at all . Well, this is very serious, by the way history, to whom it directs, directs to the citizens of ukraine, directs the world, the task of splitting. The world with ukraine, to split ukraine from the inside and say that there is no, well , look, if there is no legitimate government in ukraine, that is, ukraine itself is a soso, soso state, so then russia has the right to divide it and tear it into pieces, that is everything is very simple, thats why this is a very dangerous story, and first of all i want to appeal to our citizens, dont get carried away, we have the principle of continuity of power, because we cannot hold elections in accordance with the martial law the state, and so far the elections. Havent been held, the current president is fulfilling his duties, he is the president , we dont have another president , you know, thats great, well, anyone who follows me knows that im not a supporter of Volodymyr Zelensky at all, from the word of mouth in general, but at the same time i confidently say that he is a legitimate president today, he will be theirs on may 21 and may 25 and so on, because we do not have another president , but when we can hold elections after the end of hostilities, i hope that citizens of ukraine will elect another president , but for now. We have one Volodymyr Zelenskyi is our president , and we dont have anyone else, and here are all these russian stories, narratives, they, well, we are just the ones who are spreading everything out there now, i see it on social networks, many people who understand, its difficult for them , and many people, like me , do not like Volodymyr Zelensky, but think about it, dear friends, then, well, okay, if zelensky is illegitimate in our country, then who are we here, well, we are the junta, then what russia constantly says, that. Some illegitimate people, that this is a junta, that you dont need to talk to them about anything, you dont need to listen to them, you can to bomb, kill and do whatever you want with them, thats why its a very dangerous story, and for the world its a dangerous story, because there they will disperse it, and why, and where is the real democracy and so on, what would be the second part of the answer, this i said for the citizens of ukraine, who are watching us now, and now i have a piece of advice and a big request for president zelensky, yes, he is a legitimate president. But you simply cannot ignore these challenges, and he must clearly explain to the world why he is still a legitimate president , why there is no junta in ukraine, and the best the answer of the zelensky world would be if zelensky came out and said look, the government of National Unity, i created it, all the Parliamentary Political forces entered it, everyone, and those who are ready to work, so i invite everyone, so what can be crisis. Tivity, we are all united, between 35 and 45 there was no election in Great Britain and no one at all questioned the legitimacy of their Winston Churchill government, but one of the things that churchill did was he created a Coalition National government of unity, invited the leader of the opposition to become a deputy, and thus no one, well, what can be the opinion, well, there is no one to divide, everyone is united, even israel created a government of National Unity after the terrorist. Attack by hamas, and our president comes out and says i have four or five managers, thats enough, i dont need anyone else, that is, i urge the citizens of ukraine not to succumb to and listen to russian narratives, but i also urge the president of ukraine not to play along, not to ignore russian narratives, on the contrary give an answer to this issue, by creating and uniting ukrainian politicians, ukrainian, thus ukrainian society, by the way, this would also solve the issue of the government, in which after todays two resignations we have five, five holes, we have five bush chairs, its already almost half the government, so create a normal one. National salvation, unity, and everything, and it will work more effectively, and it will be a response to all measures of russia. And why, in your opinion, zelensky does not want to share, i would not say power during the war, but responsibility, because, well, that is power responsibility, well, because i see, as for me, this would be the best way for zelenskyi, one person cannot embrace everything, and divide the tasks, divide the responsibility. Do not solve these tasks, you are still the boss, you are the supreme commander, there is no point in arguing with this, so use the energy of these people, give them the opportunity to realize themselves for the benefit of the state, why he does not do this, i think there is only one reason, his own psychology, he is in his psychology, well, he already answered at this press conference, i am and four or five managers, he feels like a kind of, you know, such a king in the environment, around him are some four n tsiv, all the others, so he does not trust them, that is, zelensky or the problem is not such a colossal mistrust of everyone, but this, well it is a challenge, it is a huge problem and a huge mistake that he does not do this, and this mistake is already showing signs, because in two years much more could have been done to join forces both in the Defense Industry and in economic policy, and in the construction of fortifications, well, we have one a number of essential key tasks are simply failed, and even international. Politicians, look, we dont have half of the embassies, half of the ambassadors dont exist, well, how is it possible to work like this . Well, by the way, about embassies and about appointments, today, president zelensky appointed a diligent, extraordinary and plenipotentiary ambassador, one ambassador appeared in britain, by the way, by the way, there was no ambassador in london for almost a year, well, this is probably not an important country , Great Britain, a member of the un security council, a nuclear power, one of the largest donors. Ukraine did not have an ambassador in london for almost a year, but thank god they finally appointed one. I understand that oleksandr Oleksii Reznikov wanted to go there, sorry, the former minister of defense, but after these corruption scandals regarding abuses in the ministry of defense, i understand that Great Britain did not really want to see reznikov there or not . There was an idea to send reznikov to Great Britain, but it seems that it still stalled in. In ukraine, and then he really has so many questions, so i think that zelensky decided that this is the question here, well, and then this embassy in london, you know, it is such a useful prize, for whom it was not prepared, and for the current prosecutor general, he is also walking on the edge there, he can be fired at any moment , and for the current minister of foreign affairs, things are not easy for him there either, well, he is diligent, well, but diligent. It was necessary to find out if zelensky , after he really wanted to knock him down, but he really wanted to show that the hardworking remains if only with him, that is why in the end he is hardworking, and that is good, i congratulate valery industrious with an appointment, we really need an ambassador in london, the industrious legendary general, and this gives him serious bonuses there, when he arrives, he will get a lot of attention, but with. On the other hand, there are challenges here, industrious is not a professional diplomat, this is serious work and serious challenges, so i really want him to succeed, so that he succeeds in everything out of respect for him, not just out of the needs of the state, because this is a very important direction, which today, well, it is necessary, it is not just necessary to close it, and there you have to be very, very serious work in london, thank you, mr. Oleksiyu, for the conversation, it was oleksiyu to you.

That everyone is whole, healthy and able to fight and beat the enemy, so please join us. Well, now lets quickly look at the battle map , what happened on the front in recent days, and then we will discuss it. Map of hostilities for the period may 1 8, 2024. The armed forces of the Russian Federation lost the victory. On may 9. Despite the fact that the russians are conducting assaults along the entire front line with the hope of gaining at least some victory by may 9, the armed forces still did not receive enough ammunition, but the situation at the front has mostly stabilized. Luhansk region offensive on kupyansk. Having captured kesrivka at the end of april, this week the rashists unexpectedly developed their offensive to the west and south. Therefore, they occupied the village of kotlyarivka and advanced along the highway to kupyansk. To which they still have the same 20 km. In addition, the armed forces withdrew from a small section of the highway between krokhmalny and novoserivskyi and entrenched themselves near berestovo. Unexpectedly, near kopyansk itself, our soldiers fought back several positions north of sinkivka, which the russians have not been able to take for more than a year. Meanwhile, both the russian and Ukrainian Military leaders are actively talking about a possible offensive from the belgorod and kursk regions to kharkiv and sumy. However, their grouping of troops in. This direction has increased by as much as 4,000, which is clearly not enough for a fullscale offensive, and therefore, most likely, we are talking about raids deep into ukraine to distract our reserves. The russians trivially copied the tactics that the rdk implemented a few months ago. Chasiv yar preparing for victorious assaults. Until may 9, as putin commanded, the russians not only failed to take time, but also did not even prepare the battlefield for a decisive offensive. To the city in particular, near bohdanivka, their advance was very insignificant, and the Ukrainian Armed forces even managed to recapture one position south of the village from the enemy. Defense forces continue to hold positions on the edge of ivanivskyi, which makes it impossible for the russians to carry out their favorite evasive maneuver. In klishchiivka and andriivka, our defense is also holding firm. Because nobody canceled putins order, so probably the occupiers will try to attack yar headon. Without preparing the flanks, which can end in total disaster for them. This is indicated by a series of events, in particular, small reconnaissance groups of the occupiers have already begun to cross the canal, despite the fact that the armed forces assure that they have eliminated all of them, but in some areas there are still battles for access to the outskirts of the city, but they definitely have not been able to gain a foothold here. In addition, the enemy carried out powerful Aerial Bombardments and destroyed the city through the canal connecting the main part temporary ravine from the district. Channel. They blew up another bridge in ivanovsky to complicate logistics for our troops, who are receiving part of this village. Pokrovsktoretsk front. On the postavdiyiv front, the situation finally began to resemble a certain stabilization of the front. This mostly concerns the southern section near umansky. Here the enemy advanced almost 100 m in netaylovo and a couple of hundred meters in the direction of yasnobrodivka. In addition, the russians occupied a gray area south of pervomaiskyi, this will increase their pressure to the village of nevelske, in which the armed forces of ukraine have been defending for over a year and a half. After the occupation of semenivka and berdych on this part of the front, the Defense Forces were able to. Completely stop the movement of the enemy to the west. The village of sokil, in which defensive positions were previously built, became an important area of defense, so the occupiers did not manage to move far from the previously captured solovovo. In addition, it was in this area that the armed forces managed to prevent the expansion of the enemycontrolled zone around the already completely occupied ochereteny. Therefore, they are trying to bypass the village of sokil from the south and made their way for a kilometer in the direction of novopokrovsky. On the other hand, to the north of ocheretiny, the russians, albeit slowly, are still advancing. In the western direction, they came within a kilometer of the outskirts of novooleksandrivka, and from the north, after capturing the ceramics of the zsu, they were forced to leave arkhangelsk as well, due to the fact that it was cut off from logistical routes, and the topography of the area did not allow to maintain defense here. The russians still have the c
