economic news and sports news. two hours in the company of favorite presenters, presenters who have become like-minded to many, as well as distinguished guests of the studio, the events of the day in two hours, vasyl zima's big broadcast, a project for intelligent and caring people, at dinner at espresso. despite the important news coming both from our political community and from our international partners, we understand that the key story is now unfolding on the great russian-ukrainian front. war, we now add to our marathon andriy huk, captain of the medical service, brigade of the offensive guard, boroviy, neurosurgeon, candidate of medical sciences. mr. captain, is currently in the lyman direction. glory to ukraine, mr. captain, we congratulate you. kudos to the heroes, thank you for joining the broadcast. thank you for what you do for our people during your service. so, we would like to ask you now to share some operational news on the situation in the... leman direction, what

is happening with you? there is a constant assault, which is not, in fact, without a break for 2-3 hours at most, and sometimes less. it's intense shelling from all types of weapons, the enemy uses chemical weapons, ah, yes. everything is also complicated by the fact that there are certain problems with weather conditions, we perfectly understand that there is a sub-zero temperature, we all see the weather forecast, we all see it, we all know it, and this also imposes a certain, i would say, negative point in terms of defense, and unfortunately, we do not have the strength and means to start yet. mr. captain, did you mention

chemical weapons, what plan does the enemy use combat poisons? unfortunately, that's it for now the chemicals are not identified, but it is likely that this is not a new weapon, that it is from an old, very old stockpile, and very likely that it is even from a wwii stockpile. eh , which leads to a certain, i would say, conclusion, not short-term, thank god, our medicine works perfectly, but to a certain conclusion from the composition of our combat personnel, and can you detail what symptoms it causes, mostly the use of these weapons, if, for example, a serviceman was exposed to this substance. well, if

we speak in terms of a chemical formula, then it is possible one of our listeners knows chlorpicril, chlorpiclir, that is, it actually causes a reaction on the part of mucous membranes and on the part of the respiratory system, unfortunately, it has a toxic effect, which in particular affects work. central nervous system. mr. neurosurgeon, please tell me, and i, you already mentioned that the medical field still works well in our country, and our doctors at the front are trying to cope with it all, but are there any difficult cases after as, for example, a serviceman was exposed to this weapon, or even to fatal consequences reaches yes, we have enough experience how

to deal with it, well, it's not a secret, we do intensive detoxification means, measures, and in this way we achieve the maximum effect within 3-5 days, this is the first thing, this is what concerns the doctors , but i want to note that so are our defenders. have learned how to protect themselves from these chemical, active chemical gases, namely , everyone perfectly understands that having certain personal protective equipment, which, unfortunately, does not work so effectively in the cold, aa try proceed from what is as little as possible.

to receive a dose of these gases due to the fact that there are certain opportunities for each of our medics in the unit to instruct. before that, unfortunately, there is no antidote, that is, the most important thing is not to get from and not to inhale the gas that spreads, it quickly, quickly disappears, very quickly disappears within 10-15 minutes, and during this time it does not creep on the ground, rises up, and during this time you need to have a shelter in which you can hide, this is the most important thing, now everyone... on the front lines understands that, unfortunately, it is not a secret that what the deeper the trench, the greater the chance to disable the effect of these reagents that the enemy is currently using. mr. captain, and accordingly we

would like to ask you about the level of provision of appropriate medical equipment, yes, we have changed the head of the medical service. a couple of months ago, we understand that there were several scandals regarding low-quality turnstiles, what is the situation now with the provision of medical drugs, means and so on? i personally know the new head of the medical service, mr. kozmerchuk, who is a real professional, and so are we we really hope that a certain analysis will be carried out, in what way... were there substandard ones, yes, i have not met them now, at least in our brigade, in the borova brigade, we have clear instructions from the heads of our medical service to check each batch before , as we use it on the front lines,

if there is a suspicion that it is a low-quality product, as a rule, it is not ukrainian, ukraine has learned to do very well. i will not name the companies that make them, but they make high-quality and certified, ee harnesses, turnstiles, and as for the chinese, this is already in the past, i want to assure you that now we are much more careful about it, and believe me, even our defenders, our soldiers also understand that there were none before, you need to clearly know which turnstile you have . in the first-aid kit at our military itself, mr. captain, and what is the situation with support, personnel in the medical service, in particular at the level of brigades and so on, and at the same time we would like to ask you about the equipment,

for example, for the operation of first aid stations, and if we are talking about the evacuation stage, it is not it is already a military secret that we have a wide-ranging network of stabilization points where patients with severe injuries are taken, and after evacuation they are redirected to appropriate institutions. at these stabilization points, there is a sufficient number of our doctors and our mid-level medical workers and junior paramedics to provide emergency assistance. although, of course, as always, there is a shortage, because unfortunately there are losses, unfortunately, there are also losses, and combat losses, and irreversible and reversible losses, the equipment cannot withstand, not people endure, there is a problem, and

we understand this very well with the first stage of evacuation from the battlefield, because armored cars, they are also constantly under... constant enemy fire, the enemy understands that if an armored car drives even with a red cross, at least a few people are there, and especially medics who are trying to save lives or preserve the health of our soldiers, we understand very well that until the time when ukraine does not establish in... production, the permanent production of its weapons, of their evacuation equipment, we we will always be, alas, with an outstretched hand , unfortunately, for now it is like this, and there is certainly not enough evacuation transport, this is true, and medics,

medics, medics, well, i already said that we work one for two, so far without a number , i tell you, there is no. another thing, i would say, the understanding that i have talked about this a lot, and now i will repeat it too, that we must learn to play long, we must... take the experience of israel, where every medic, there is a military medic, there is a rotation, regardless of where a person works, even for two or three months a year, he necessarily becomes a soldier a physician, and this should be immediately introduced in ukraine. that is, if we understand correctly, your opinion is that even doctors in civilian hospitals should now still be exchanged with those combat medics who are currently at the front and, accordingly, this rotation should take place constantly. you are absolutely right, i just want to emphasize that it is not just to go and change a civilian operating theater or a civilian ward

to a field environment or a field hospital, it is necessary to acquire certain skills, and therefore now the issue of military medicine is absolutely on times, and i think that together with the new head of the medical service of the armed forces of ukraine, we expect from him in the near future an initiative to really create. of a more detailed plan for training doctors for military medicine, it does not necessarily have to be military personnel, it can be civilians who have undergone the appropriate training, who have undergone the appropriate practice and can at any time replace their colleagues, whom i said, on alas, like all of us humans, we also fail. thank you, andrii gu, captain of the medical service, offensive guard brigade, burovai, neurosurgeon, candidate. of medical sciences from the lyman region was in touch with us, now we will go for a short break and then we will return, so stay with us. everyday

volodymyr horbach, a political analyst at the institute of euro-atlantic cooperation. glory to ukraine, mr. volodymyr! congratulations, glory to the heroes, mr. antin. well, rishi sunok brought us something important. in particular, it is about 2.5 billion pounds, which is good news. yes, but the key story is that he brought some additional security guarantees and possibly deeper military cooperation with great britain. well, he assured me of unwavering support, but, you know, very different concepts can be included in this formula. well, it all depends on, so to speak. from monetization, in particular , it is about the number of possible f-16s, if britain finds them somewhere in one or another hangar, and maybe in additional long-range ones missiles, if not stormshadow, then others. you have a word. actually, actually, long-range missiles, as you said, have already been spoken about,

they said that they are long-range or long-range, long-range. unfortunately, and stormshadow. we were called long-range missiles in the press, although in fact it is a short -range missile, there are literally only 200, 200-250 km, but here matters, well, it is really important, i would also add the context that rishasunak decided to visit kyiv actually on the same day, that the very day when great britain, together with the united states, dared to carry out missile... a missile attack on the houthis in yemen, on the military bases of the houthis located on the territory of yemen, this is actually far from us, but what is important is that these were impressions of targets, warehouses of missiles and drones, of those weapons that, how these iranian or pro-iranian proxies threaten world

trade and including shipping and british and american ships, this is... a bit of a lyrical digression, but for rishisunak it seems to me very important in the context of domestic, intra-british, yes, he strengthens his the image and image of a decisive leader who pursues a decisive policy in the foreign arena, and here we can only be very happy that ukraine is also one of the priorities of his foreign policy, that is, in relation to the assistance that... will be provided great britain and the so-called security guarantees, this is also all very wonderful, and the amount is significant, and the list, the list is also important, again the same missiles and air defense, anti-aircraft defense, anti-missile defense, these munitions, this is all very important, this is

what no one else supplies to ukraine, at least at this moment. we know the situation with delays in the united states , great britain is taking the initiative, and the most interesting thing in my opinion, if the nuance that sounded, as it is not surprising, from the mouth of the former president of the russian federation dmitry medvedev, who angrily condemned sunak's visit to kyiv and warned that if britain decides to deploy its military. contingent on the territory of ukraine, the kremlin will consider this as a declaration of war. well, the idea is interesting, i think it should be considered more carefully. sir volodymyr, i would like to clarify with you. you said that richie sunak's visit could be related to the actions of the united states and great britain in yemen. and could it

also be connected with the fact that north korea started supplying russia. ballistic missiles , which it already uses on the territory of ukraine and plans to do so in the future, because we know that nothing has been decided at the un red base, could this not be a kind of diplomatic gesture, to make it clear that ukraine also has allies and they they can also give her something, well, here all these events are taking place in the context, but this visit is taking place in the context of other international events, both in yemen, and concerns. or protests even about the supply of north korean missiles to russia and all this, so to speak, the background of this visit, i would not say that it is so directly connected and caused, there is none here. determinism of the cause-and-effect relationship in my opinion, but nevertheless all this is perceived together, so to speak in a complex. well, i would continue to look into the near future, i think that

davozsky will be important as well the forum is already practically, well, if it were to be held this weekend, this weekend, all these issues will be discussed there, including the armament of ukraine, and... and there will also be a conversation about the so-called security guarantees for ukraine from various different states, including great britain, well, it is possible that the decision from these and these moments will be discussed during the visit in a private, confidential atmosphere, and already some, already some position can be joint, exemplary, yes, someone must be the first in these c all these contracts. in fact , the unilateral commitments of our partners to help us with weapons and ammunition for a fairly long term. mr. volodymyr, well, in one word, you think that

our partners are not afraid of threats from the former so-called president of the russian federation medvedev, so in particular we are talking about a bold radical decision to provide us with what is called high-precision anti-personnel weapons, right? well , i would like to quote president zelensky from one of his last interviews. partners know that some of the long-range weapons they gave us, some, i won't say now, are zelensky's, i quote which one, but they understand now, listening to me, we destroyed 26 helicopters in a day, 12 planes that rose and launched missiles , against which these systems worked, we shot down, we destroyed 12 at a time, it was just something. so, will our partners go further, or will they stretch this pleasure, well, in the style of how they stretch the supply of aviation to us?

well, i would again appeal now to today's night attack on yemen, where were you used tomagalk missiles, they were launched from both ships and fighters, yes, air and sea-based, they would have been used long ago, so we understand what the difference is between the yemeni houthis. forgive me, and the russian federists , the russians, more precisely, the russian federation , there is no difference for the tomahawk missile, it will not be felt, there is no such sensitive warhead that would distinguish the targets depending on the appearance or something else, the point is , that it is a truly long-range weapon, more so 1000 km, and this is really what ukraine needs in order to establish parity, so that we, the russians understand. and felt that ukraine could respond symmetrically, and respond to the locations of the launch of these planes or drones, shaheds in ukraine, and

all these attacks, air raids, would stop immediately, if the western world should also realize this and understand that only parity, only the ability to surrender will stop the russians from their genocidal war and the impression of civilian forces. infrastructure and civilian targets in ukraine, deep within the territory of ukraine. and i think that this year 2024, uh, can become a turning point in the war, when our american, british and other western partners will make this decision for themselves and abandon their own self-restraint not to prohibit ukraine from hitting targets with high-precision long-range weapons on the territory of the russian federation itself . if this is the solution. will be accepted at the political level, the war will end this year. mr. volodymyr, what could provoke them to make such a decision? now we understand that

probably there are no prerequisites in that, but can these prerequisites appear and what kind of prerequisites are they, if such are possible? i believe that the prerequisites are there, they were there before, and now they have not disappeared, are these strikes, airstrikes by the russian federation on the civilian infrastructure of ukraine, is this a prerequisite for arming ukraine with similar weapons that deter western partners? in my opinion, this is the fear of some kind of russian response, or agreements that could have been backroom agreements about not using such weapons against russia in the depths of their territory, and from one to the other, these two positions can and should be revised, all the prerequisites for this have been created for a long time, the only thing that is missing is the political will on... our western partners, that is what can move them , to change this decision, well, i am afraid that ukrainian persuasion or ukrainian victims, well, no, unfortunately, no, no,

no... have enough influence on the change of this decision, the actions of the russian federation, directed, perhaps already not only against ukraine, but also directly against the members of our partners nato or some others, well, when the war goes beyond the borders of ukraine, this is the agreement to keep the war on the territory of ukraine, not to prevent it from going beyond the borders of ukraine, this is what the russians seem to promise, but... western partners seem to promise not to arm whether to not allow ukraine to hit targets on russian territory with western weapons, this is my assumption, well, i did not come up with it, this is as if from the press, here primarily western, not russian, about certain agreements between the head of the cia burns and the head of the foreign intelligence service neryshkin, the day before war in the fall of the 21st year, it seems

that this was the information, these agreements, as we can see now, are by and large observed, probably by both sides, except for the fact that russia is waging a genocidal war against ukraine, and no one has agreed on this could, and that is why the west long ago needed to revise its strategic vision of helping ukraine and, well, the final goal of this war , look, mr. volodymyr, i agree with you that there is such a working hypothesis that... the western elites planned , so to speak, agree to the so-called controlled escalation, but agreeing with the russians, but it still ends in a crash, but on the other hand, while our western friends are covering it up, i mean everyone collectively and publicly, well, a lot of blood will still be spilled, but if we talk about plan b, that is actions in small steps, now a meeting should take place between the minister of foreign affairs of ukraine, mr. koleba, and his hungarian...

counterpart, sijarto. your predictions, whether we will be able, so to speak, to put a little pressure on our hungarian friends and neighbors. well, i don't think we're in a situation where we can let well, we can press, there is more, this is a step towards a meeting, this is a step towards de-escalation, at least of bilateral relations, from the ukrainian side, and the goal of this interim meeting should be an agreement on holding. meetings at the level of the president and the prime minister, the president of ukraine and the prime minister of hungary, i.e. the leaders of the states, and dmytro kuleb at the meeting with siyarto in uzhhorod, it seems, well, it will probably be, i think so, what i read, he will be accompanied by the head of yermak's office, that is, on a large account, who also communicates directly with sierto and actually

conducts foreign policy. which function was delegated to him by president zelensky , in my opinion, in violation of the constitution of ukraine, that is why these will be more conciliatory steps on the part of ukraine than, as you said, pressuring, not in that, not in that current situation of ukraine, in order to have such a what can we offer hungarians? well, ours, well , what does it mean to offer, it doesn’t mean, going to a meeting doesn’t mean giving some kind of bribe or bonus or whatever you, well, not a bribe, well, but we understand that politics is the art of reaching certain compromises, so , they they remove their veto to us, and we to them, well, first of all, we tell them, really , i think that the most productive tactic at this meeting would be to say that here are all your concerns about education in hungarian schools, in hungarian language and other

rights of national minorities. they need siyarto directly in uzhgorod, they need to demonstrate what is actually real, how the real situation differs from the rhetoric of the government in budapest, and at the level of arguments, so to speak, this is where to win, smile, shake hands and expect from our partners steps to meet. thank you, volodymyr horbach, political analyst of the institute of euro-atlantic cooperation, and anna eva is ready to share more news. the news editorial team has already prepared the most up-to-date and most operational information together with her, so we give you the floor, and tell us what this issue will be about. greetings, colleagues, the news team is working, we are ready to tell about the most relevant events, in particular, about the advance of our troops in the zaporozhye direction, about this and not only, details, further, stay tuned by us
