the espresso channel and ukrainian pen present the self-titled project with myroslava barchuk. a series of conversations with ukrainian and western intellectuals who analyze and comment on the most relevant social debates. what news will be analyzed by the guests of the project this week, and actually, who will be the guest of the studio? we will find out already this sunday. undoubtedly, the topics will be relevant, the guests will be special. proper names with myroslava barchuk. sunday: 17:10 at espresso. back to our conversation, andriana kostenko, doctor of political sciences, the head of the center for social research, a member of the board of the intellectuals of sumy region, joins our conversation, i congratulate ms. andriano, on our airwaves, glory to ukraine, how did the night pass in sumy region and in general in the region and especially on the border, well, sumy region traditionally suffers from russian shelling. and about

20% of the communities of our region are in permanent danger, in fact, in the past day , the russian aggressor has been shelled from the side of russia, bilopolska, krasnopilska, khotynska, esmanska, etc. the communities of druzhbiv, shaligiv, medrebo, that is, we see that this is the border area, it is constantly... shelled, the population cannot be safe either at night or during the day. but these drgs, earlier they talked about the fact that there were a little less of them in sumy oblast compared to the neighboring regions, about how many, how many, the intensity and scale of these movements, you can say how often they penetrate the territory of the region, cross border and are engaged in their own... well,

on the contrary, we have information that sumsk the region most often comes under the influence of sabotage and reconnaissance groups from the side of the enemy, there is practically information that almost every week there are cases when attempts are made to penetrate into the territory of the sumy region, we know that the sumy region itself has... the longest border with russia, and the actual question of making it as safe as possible is very difficult, even though the war has been going on for a year and a half, there are still places that, unfortunately, cannot be considered as safe to the full extent, drg hits, there are cases that such terrorist acts are even carried out by...

from the side of the enemy, there are cases when civilian infrastructure is shelled, ordinary residents are killed, their cars are fired upon, there is often information that they enter, mine a certain territory , i don't know what else they are doing with certain intelligence activities and then detain them, because we have such a mobile operation in our region. brigade to control the territory, however, in principle, the situation with the drg is serious enough for us. and these shellings from the territory of russia, at what distance they shoot, and, that is, which zone and how many kilometers of the zone are under greater threat than other territories of sumy oblast. well, usually we are talking about a five to

meter zone, which in principle is already there, i would not say that a normal life is possible there, so there is a minimum number of people left there, as a rule, these are already those people who have nowhere to go where to move, they have no relatives, no opportunities and, in principle, are ready to survive in the conditions in which they are currently, that is, under the greatest damage is located, the zone is located. kilometers, however , the leadership of the regional military administration notes that the 30-kilometer zone of the sumy region is also in a certain danger, this is due to the penetration of the drg, this is also due to shelling, shelling through shahedis, tunnels, unfortunately, cases are common when... they are shelling

with the use of artillery units, so the sumy region, in principle, at any moment, it... happens to be in such a dangerous situation, and they often use drones, either for reconnaissance or for attacks? drones for the last year and a half - this is a common weapon against border residents, as a rule, when attacks were carried out, such powerful attacks, even in the regional center, were attacks using uavs. ugh, mrs. adrianna, those structures, which have already been talked about, fortification structures, not just dug with a shovel, but so powerful, concreted, at what stage is the construction of these structures, let’s say, if we can, of course, talk about it, is it about the whole

line the border with russia, or about some separate areas where it is especially important to take care of these buildings, well, the situation is very... interesting, because on the one hand, for one and a half years, we have been hearing about the strengthening of the border, in particular, on the territory of the sumy region, work is indeed being carried out, it is being carried out by the forces of the territorial communities themselves, and centralized work and under coordination of the regional state administration, although there were questions, well, for example, the latest allocation of state subsidies, so the sumy region, for example on... it was precisely these tasks that fell under the second priority, so today, just recently this week, the head of the military of the administration claimed that a coordination council had been created, well, it seems to me that after more than one and a half years of war, a coordination council on

issues of arranging and strengthening the border, it is probably a little late, although, well, in fact, from the fact that... the border has noticeably strengthened in terms of professional such fortification structures. uhu, and this checkpoint in kolotylivka, kolotylivka-pokrovka, it somehow works, people come there, report, anyone? in principle, it is enough, starting from the beginning of the spring, it is stable enough the point is working, in... according to the available statistics, about 100 people cross the border every week, now the dynamics may have decreased a little, it was so active during the opening of this point itself, yes, we have

a train, a train from sumy, sumy region, which further redirects, evacuates people to other regions of ukraine. in particular, in the capital, in kyiv , a reception point was also organized in the krasnopil community, very significant attention was paid to this, to this possibility of evacuation, it received attention from international funds, from volunteers, public organizations that provide all the necessary materials, all the necessary assistance so that people have... the opportunity to return to their homeland, and this is such a powerful flow of people leaving that we need some kind of additional transportation, well , actually, our social protection department speaks of the fact that a sufficiently large

flow of people, the number of which we can be talking about, in different periods in different ways, even obtains for. yes, the beginning of december, is there any data? there are no recent such data, i have general statistics about what this is on average even up to 100 people in a week , that is enough, enough such a flow is normal, although most likely he could have saved a little now for the winter, and what arguments do people have and why now it is almost two years after the full-scale invasion and already in the end... a lot of time has passed since the deoccupation of these territories, and people are just now starting to move, how do they explain, how do they justify what they waited for how long? in fact, the stories are very different, and we have local journalists who have talked to and often

interview the very people who dare to move, some part of the population expected that after all the territory that is currently under... controlled by russia, occupied by russia, would be liberated, some part of the people did not expect that they would not be touched in... this territory, but now they are saying , that after all, the pressure increased, the terror on the part of the occupying power intensified, in the end someone cannot find himself there and come to terms with the authorities, well , to a greater extent it is connected with the fact that they understood that so far it is a process, processes layoffs may have stopped, so may have stopped, so people... want to return to relatives, at least someone has, you know, a large,

large percentage of the flow, also these are such, these are shuttle, shuttle trips, that is, people go to visit, maybe relatives, or because of family circumstances, uh, but geographically, where are these people from, who want to cross the state border through kolotylivka pokrovka and get from the territory of what is now russia to the territory of ukraine. there are no such statistics, but actually from which ones, but it is usually from the newly occupied territories. ugh. and what is the question, because we understand for whom this item was created pass, in fact, so that our ukrainians could return, could somehow go through russia, actually from these newly occupied territories, and not only the newly occupied territories, to return to their country. but we understand that the russians can also use this checkpoint, on the one hand it can be the drg, on the other

hand it can be, i don’t know, or some of their agents, or just those who want to use the opportunity and also west somewhere to sneak in, we have seen a lot of stories before when the russians went to europe, there asked to get the status of refugees, that they are not doing well in that russia, that they seem to be against the regime there and so on, or things like that? are they fixing now? well, as far as i know, there is a sufficiently serious control over the crossing of people, through this point, through this checkpoint, in fact, there is such information that mass russians are going to ukraine, well, there is no such information, they usually get through europe, yes or no through ukraine , not through sumy region, actually from... other ways, don't risk and actually do the right thing, lady

andriano, one more question before our conversation about the evacuation from this, in particular, the border zone of the population, so we have that from the information that all residents have already left 18 villages, but the total number of settlements that are subject to evacuation is 115 in regions, and what is the situation there, are they going or not? or at least children with limited mobility, those who need special care and are less mobile, or at least those who left the dangerous zone without a particular danger, well, as for such mandatory evacuation, even in these settlements it is not there, the authorities are very, i would say so , actively explaining that this is a military, militarily dangerous, such territory and... they need to leave, first of all, they left voluntarily, these are families with children and children, and also

now we are talking about that even from a 30-kilometer zone they will evacuate children who are in residential institutions or are under the care of the state, that is, if we are talking about populated areas. beyond the five-kilometer zone, people do not leave very actively, that is mainly, well, that is, even this evacuation, it is not mandatory, in mainly explanatory work is carried out , explaining that it is actually very dangerous to stay here, and in the end social work is not completely established, there is no possibility to provide for basic needs, because it is not possible. products are systematically hung there, only some humanitarian funds, organizations

help people, or periodically at their own risk entrepreneurs can bring the most necessary products, yes, that is, people leave to a greater extent due to the fact that there is no longer a physical possibility to stay, because there is no normal medical care, so where... can you professionally receive such social assistance, you can't withdraw your pension, you can't buy food, actually because of or already when the housing is destroyed, then already people in... thank you for participating in on our airwaves at this really early sunday time, andriana kostenko, doctor of political sciences and head of the social research center, member of the board of geintellect of sumy oblast, was on our airwaves, we are going now for a short break, then we will return, we will continue our ether, wait. icelandic moss vitamin c

the same period last year, the number of patients more, at least by 40%, although, if you look at the intensity of this epidemic process, it is actually not much higher than last year, by only 8%. in general, during that period of the outbreak of the disease, the outbreak of the epidemic , almost 1,300,000 ukrainians fell ill, so take care of yourself, remember about safety, about basic safety measures, and one more important thing: the hungarians are joining what the poles have done in the western border, and from tomorrow , december 11, they will... protest, their transporters, blockers, will to protest, they will block the checkpoint for honchob, they demand to cancel the liberalization of transportation from the ukrainian

side, for ukrainian carriers, they are asking to cancel the so-called transport visa-free , they say that this is how they want to draw the attention of the european commission to the serious consequences of the agreement between the eu, ukraine and moldova, i would like to remind you that the hungarian authorities, personally viktor orbán, their prime minister, are already... they are not even looking for any official arguments, any legislative nuances, they simply say that ukraine cannot be in the eu, and they will block all this by all means. we're not talking about that anymore, we're talking about ukrainians, about ukrainian fighters, about a man who lost both legs and an arm in the battles near bakhmut. denys kryvenko, military armed forces of ukraine. today he is a complex amputee, works at the super humans rehabilitation center and his own. inspires others by example. denys told his story to our khrystyna parubiy. let's watch together. i'm just saying, using my example, if i have such

an amputation, you have one leg, then in a month you will be unable to walk at all. my name is denys kryvenko, i work as a super humans first contact specialist. when the war started, i was at home, and my relatives called me, asked to call me, but as soon as i woke up, they say, the war has started, i say, but no, he says, it was you who came up with something, i say, and then i went out into the streets, into clubs, airplanes they were flying, the turntables were raised, and i read the news, and on the 28th, i volunteered for military service, i was initially refused, on march 18, at 7 o'clock in the morning, i was already in lysichansk,

we, well, were based in the school, they began to scatter who would go where. battalions someone to repair equipment as a driver, meet ten guys, from the old town, they say we are like a volunteer stormtrooper in the company, i say, maybe i will go, and somehow we met, then he says you will also stormtrooper , i say yes, he says, you know, we are not alone such idiots, who left voluntarily, denys kryvenko defended luhansk region for three months, the first point was rubizhne, the next point was nizhnye and toshkivka, in our group , who were the guys i worked with? friend for friend, and it was not scary, you know what you are now you will go forward and you will be covered

from behind, and never, well, i was not afraid to go to the assault on the position, it was coming out, it wanted to fly, well , you sit quietly, because you know whether you will be 300 or 200 will take you out, they took in numbers, there are fewer of us , but we constantly repelled their assaults, after intense battles. his unit was taken out for recovery, after a short rest luhansk region again, this time to defend ustinivka, all objectives were until the ninth day, until one, at first one was 300, on the 10th day, how are we going to roll back they started, that evening, there was an 8-hour battle, they burned two tanks, four bmps and more than a hundred infantrymen, well, we have guys on jewels. after the luhansk region, denys kryvanko got to the kherson direction, there he repaired equipment, tested foreign equipment, in november the guy

was given a few... days to rest and went to bakhmut. and i had a little feeling that something bad was going to happen, it turns out that i had already arrived in druzhkivka, donetsk region, on december 24. and so it turned out that our rapid response group was assembled again and sent to the first position in bakhmut to throw a fire department. we stayed there for a week somewhere. on the second week, when we were standing there in the suburbs, they began to cover us with artillery, tanks and shot down the street, because we lost a little landing and they had the height, well, what happened, they began to attack from the sides and the front, we got wanted to take it into the ring, but we started to stretch out, i

told the guys to throw away the pajamas, i said, things, i said, more cartridges, i said, and that’s it , we left, i just went out after the guys who had already knew the road, i was running across the road and there was an explosion in front of my feet, an lng anti-tank missile flew at me, and immediately, well, as i remember, i wanted... a tourniquet, but i saw that there was a fire truck , and immediately what time it happened, i can already see, the arm is gone, the leg is gone, this one was twisted, and the guys really wanted to save it, but it didn't work out , the guys said that i said goodbye twice, i don't remember that, but i remember that i was laughing there, and when i already threw it into the pickup truck, he says you also sang the national anthem, he says he showed me the boarding pass, they brought me to the evacuation point, they threw me over,

they anesthetized, as it were... it all went so positively, but mechnikova became scary, it’s so scary that you lie down, they wash you, and you think that it’s 200, it turns out, you hear, but you can’t do anything, and i started to move to show some signs of life, and it turned out that i already heard, he is not 200, he says 300, and it turned out that i woke up already in the intensive care unit, the doctor talked to me, he says, we thought that you were all, says, you are such a positive person. denys underwent rehabilitation in vinnytsia, but due to a complex amputation, the chances of prosthetics were not given there. hope to walk again was given at the superhumans rehabilitation center. the most important thing is that at first they began to set me up , that i would have a corset, because i have a short stump, there is 4 cm of bones left, and when i came to germany, they put a liner on me, they say, everything is fine, but i am like that, they say, no need they drag this plastic

along with them, and... i started with these short ones, and then somewhere in the second week, in the second week, i already got mechanical knees and started walking. denys does not lose his optimism, has a hobby, gets a tattoo and is studying to become a psychologist, as well as at superhuman works as a first contact specialist to show by example that even with complex amputations, life goes on. khrystyna parobiy, volodymyr studenny, espresso tv channel. thanks to khrystyna for the material, we have information from the temporarily occupied kherson oblast, the russians there are so frightened by what our partisans can do that they simply search and terrorize the local population, recently one of the settlements in the hanichesky district was simply closed off, all the houses were interrupted and in this way the partisans searched, partisans were finding out who could perceive
