work today in the news service, rest, and we will continue the information this time already from the world and continue, as usual, of course, i, in particular, will talk about this, the chancellor of germany. convinces colleagues in the european union to increase aid and support to ukraine. finland will not open its borders with russia, and russians may not vote abroad in russian presidential elections abroad. about this and other things in a moment in the rubric world about ukraine. well, i'll start with this: the new president of the european council can become the former prime minister of italy mario draghi. this was reported by the financial times, with reference to its sources, both in italy and in brussels. at

the same time, neither mr. draghi himself nor people from his entourage have confirmed this information, but at least they will not deny it. vali, although those people who are familiar with mario draghi emphasize that the ex-head of the european central bank said that he does not want to work in management positions in the european union, so let's see, i will only remind you that the chair of the president of the european council has become vacant, may resign after june 9, but only if the current president, charles michel , is elected as a member of the european parliament. by the way, charles michel said on sunday evening that he no longer wants to be president, yesterday i talked about it in the world about ukraine column, and today we already have information that they are already looking for his replacement, and we really need this replacement , because, as i told yesterday, and they continue to do so today,

this news should be in the information space, that if a new president is not elected quickly, then he viktor orbán automatically becomes the prime minister of hungary, and you yourself understand how bad it all is... for us. let's go further. arms deliveries to ukraine are planned for today. most of the ukrainian members of the european union are, in any case, too small. that's why i called. our allies and partners to intensify the provision of military and financial assistance. german chancellor olaf scholz said this the day before after meeting with luxembourg prime minister luc frieden. at the same time, the head of the bundesurad called leaders of the eu countries to more precisely determine their contribution by february 1. and added the direct speech of olaf scholz. europe must demonstrate to the whole world that it continues to be with ukraine. on the side of protecting freedom, international law and european values. well, estonia

will continue to provide ukraine with all the necessary financial and military assistance and will allocate 0.25% of its gross domestic product for this purpose. the prime minister of the country kaya kalas said about this the day before during the press conference after the regular meeting state councils. of defense, and official tallinn will do it more during the next four years. the head of the estonian government also says that during this time, estonia will allocate 14 million euros per year for joint actions to restore ukraine. well, in general, says kaya kalas, they, we have already received 500 million in military aid from them. for what? huge gratitude to this small country. hungary will remove the veto on the allocation

of money by the european union to ukraine, but on one condition: if the european council reviews this aid every year. this was reported by journalists edition of politico with reference to its own sources in brussels and budapest. experts believe that this will allow viktor orban every year. chew up the leadership of the european union by blocking the allocation of aid to ukraine, if decisions unfavorable to it are adopted in brussels. let me remind you that in mid-december last year, hungary vetoed the increase in the eu budget for 2024-27, including 50 billion euros for macro-financial assistance to ukraine. well, there is also information related to hungary, uhu this one. continued national consultations on what and how to support, how to treat

the support of ukraine in general, and he continued these consultations, which should have ended, should have ended already, but will continue until january 17, last year, the leadership of this country, our neighbor, put this issue of supporting ukraine to a national discussion, grandmothers want to know the opinion of ordinary citizens. countries, well, it seems to me, are just dragging this issue out. finland's eastern border, the septo border with russia, which is more than 1,000 km long, will remain closed. i reported about it today minister of internal affairs maria rantanen. according to her, the government decided not to open checkpoints on the border with the terrorist country after january 14, and explaining this decision, the minister said, in particular. quote: of course i can't divulge intelligence, but it appears that

there has been no change at all in russia's activities, so there is a very real risk that russia will continue to engage in similar activities if the border is opened. you may have a question, but what kind of activity can russia be engaged in, and until now it was just transporting migrants from european countries. and asia to the border with finland, convincing them that they can easily cross it in order to get to one of the countries of the european union, as the minister says, if the borders are opened, then this shelter that has developed now, even if it has developed, it will disappear , and then migrants will go to the border en masse. president of ukraine volodymyr zelenskyy will go to, or at least can go to, the world economic forum in swiss davos first reported it today in the columns of a swiss publication, and then it was confirmed by the president

of the world economic forum, berge brenda. according to published information , preparations for the trip are in full swing. currently, it is known for certain that the fourth meeting regarding the so-called ukrainian peace formula will be held in davos on sunday, the day before the start. three have already taken place, one took place in... in saudi arabia and in luxembourg, well, what are we waiting for, there are a few days left, all the countries of the world must strongly... but persevere the goals and principles of the charter of the united nations, jointly protect the basic norms of international relations, moreover, they should play a constructive role in the settlement of global and regional crises. such a statement was made today by china's foreign minister one. according to him, the world should be equal and orderly. and then his short quote: every country has

its place in the global multi-level system and can play its proper role there. role is the end of the quote. however, it is not entirely clear, at least to me, what beijing is going to do all this and at the same time to deepen strategic cooperation with russia, which mr. wang also said today. and he also wants, he proposed, at least, to try to settle world crises, again, the russian war in ukraine, he continues to call a crisis, with the help of cooperation with russia, with the country that ... this crisis, well, the war in ukraine, which continues it further, well, that's why such statements from the celestial empire, well, they are somewhat impressive, well, that's putting it mildly, well, and in conclusion, the decision has not yet been made, but in the consulates general of russia in the territory of unfriendly countries will not open

polling stations for the presidential elections scheduled for march 15-17. this year, this was reported by the propagandists of the russian edition of the newspaper with reference to sources in diplomatic circles, while, according to the information received, the number of countries in which there will be no polling stations is significant, the reason for such a possible step, the sources of the newspaper explain security considerations and reduction the number of consular employees. i will remind you that the list of so -called unfriendly... countries of the so-called list includes 49 countries, and if everyone understood that there are no security considerations, it is not about any security considerations, it is about the fact that in 49 countries, well, not all, in most of them, they simply will not be able not to support putin, those who do not wants to support him if these polling stations are not opened.

well, that's all i have in the world about ukraine section, that's all for today, tomorrow there will be more in this section. but our broadcast continues. yes, and we continue with an interesting interview. our journalists prepared it for you, they were waiting almost two years. ostap reshitnyk, a military sanitary instructor, was captured at the factory after the start of the full-scale invasion of the russian horde into ukraine. cha in mariupol and was able to return home only at the beginning of january, later on espresso aired an interview with his wife olga reshitnyk. let's see. greetings to all viewers of the tv channel. my name is khrystyna porobiy and we tell

a long period that when we already heard this call, everyone who was near me was at home, well, there were tears, emotions , it was a shock, well, that is, but we were glad to finally hear his voice, like children... these survived almost two years of separation, i tried to somehow distance them a little from this, that is, not to involve them completely in all those emotions, i tried to somehow distract them so that they would not experience this whole situation so deeply, you have a daughter of 13 years, justyna, yes and lukyana's 9-year-old son, and let's now hear how... guys, how did you communicate with your father, this is the first call after poluno, we will now listen to yustyna roschitnyk. tell me how you found out that

rodents, from all kinds of things, well, all these are the types of work that the sanitation services are engaged in, this is also, then he was a driver, as sanitary of all these services, which also provided assistance to the military, and directly... to the medics themselves, because a medic cannot do anything without a driver, he performed all his duties that were entrusted to him, that were needed, helped as much as he could. how did he explain his decision, why is it important for him to join the armed forces of ukraine? he always said, who, if not me, how did his family accept such an act? well, uh,... we didn't mind very much because it was his calling, he wanted to go there, he wanted to go there, he said, that is, that i want to join the guys, that is

, i am also needed there, so we did not strongly object to this, how the war began in 2014, this period until 2022, before the full-scale war, in which operations did your husband take part , like this one about his life in this period of time where he was. they were regularly sent on rotations, as a rule, to military hospitals, they were with military medics, with hospitals, they provided all the help that was needed, where, where he was, which, you can, some points, it was different point, it was also mariupol, and it was, i can’t even remember it anymore, because it’s so much all kinds of information, and north donetsk, well, that is, a lot of eastern regions, which are from... above, and below, well, that is, everywhere , where they were needed, everywhere they were, you know, a lot of military, those who have been fighting since 2014, they predicted somewhere that there would be such

a full-scale invasion, there would be a big... war, that russia would not leave ukraine, that's how it's that simple, tell me if the man predicted something like this somewhere, or maybe he was preparing something family besides, actually we didn't talk about such a topic with him, and i think, well, i wo n't say it, because i really don't know it, but he went to the rotation on february 18, without saying anything like that, he just went like extraordinary his rotation, on which he drove before that. on february 18, 2022, he went to mariupol, so he went on rotation to mariupol, this is the 555th mariupol hospital, how long was the man in contact then, how long was the contact, were you able to talk to him, how often did you they supported him communication, in fact , there was no such possibility of communication, somehow it was on the 24th, it all

started, on the 26th. i personally spoke with him, it was literally a few minutes, and it was very short, then his daughter heard him on march 1, he asked how they were, what they were, and after such a full communication that we heard him voice, was lost, there were several messages from the beginning of march until april 3rd, and the last message, it was april 3rd, alive and well and ... after that we never heard anything, nothing they didn't know, we walked , waited, hoped, we still have to wait a little, he will call, he , well, that is, and when one evening, i can't remember exactly whether it was the 30th or 31st of april , one evening before going to bed he was texting in russian telegram channel, i saw his photo there, well, it’s a photo with an inscription that they raised, they did the right thing, surrendered their weapons, raised their hands to the... mountain,

and that’s how i saw that he was in captivity, first of all, it was a call from the military unit to the commander, that such and such information appeared anyway, and from that moment the process was launched, that is, we began to look for various exits, volunteers, documents, all the special services , a million calls, a million messages, a lot of all kinds of information, we encountered various moments, there were very... many such moments of despair, in which we wanted to leave it all, because we have a lot of special services, well, i understand that this is their job, there is information that they cannot divulge, everywhere we went, the answers were the same everywhere: be patient, we are doing our best, but we are like relatives, it was difficult at this period the unknown, when we knew nothing, this

period of waiting. well, finally we waited for the long-awaited call, the very long-awaited message that he is finally in ukraine. the man was captured in mariupol from the ilyich plant, right? so. did they discuss at all the first, the first month, yes, when there was still contact with him, did the man tell something, what was the situation at the factory then, or, uh, when they were already at the factory, there was no contact with him was the last communication is complete, it was march 1, when we heard it. then in the middle of march, as we all know that an aerial bomb was dropped on this hospital and after that full contact with it was lost, they were in bunkers at the lych plant, so someone there somewhere got closer, then he wrote to his relatives, that is , so and so, so and so such a situation, that is, you didn't even know what happened to your husband, we knew, we found out later that he was wounded, during captivity, it's been almost two years, so you

found out in april that he... already in captivity, was it possible to maintain any contact with the husband, was there any correspondence, none, nothing, where did you get the information , information about him, unfortunately, there was no information, that is, all this that was in some russian telegram channels, so we did not find him on any videos anymore, since the situations of relatives get into who recorded a video there, none, no information other than that. which we saw in april, we didn't have until january, when there was hope for an exchange? there was always hope, we always waited, i'll tell you the truth, i didn't entertain myself with such thoughts in order to avoid disappointment again, we just learned to live.
