greetings viewers of the espresso channel, in the studio of iryna koval, the final news release is for your attention. this week there is a lot of ukrainian society and the western press. attention and discussions were devoted to the probable resignation of the commander-in-chief of the armed forces of ukraine, general valery zaluzhny. the washington post published an article in which it was said that the government of ukraine informed the white house that president volodymyr zelensky had decided to fire valery zaluzhny, which would be the most serious personnel reshuffle during the war. and it's like a choice president zelenskyi is perceived in the white house. the indians were waiting for the supreme

commander-in-chief's speech on friday, hoping to hear at least some explanation, but the president did not say a word about it either after it or in his video message. there is no official decree on zaluzhnyi's resignation at the moment either. on july 29, 2021, president zelensky presented the new head of weapons to the staff in zhytomyr region. this is the commander-in -chief of the armed forces of ukraine, major general, zaluzhnyi, valery fedorovych. you all know these people very well, you know it's real powerful combat officers, most importantly, patriots of ukraine who have experience, courage, great authority among our military. a hard-working general of the new generation, he is the first head of the armed forces who did not serve in the soviet army

and was formed as an officer in independent ukraine. the president drew attention to him back in 2020, when zaluzhny led the exercises of the united efforts 2020 in mykolaiv oblast. then the armed forces had to demonstrate, in particular , what the javelin anti-tank systems handed over by the americans are capable of. but something went wrong, and javelin did not fire, and zaluzhny had to make excuses. this is necessary. to study this issue, maybe it was an operator error, maybe some kind of program error, i still can't say anything today. despite this, it was zaluzhnyi who assumed the post of chief of the armed forces a little more than six months before the full-scale invasion of the russians. according to information from the western press, in particular the british bbc and the american magazine the new yorker, unlike zelenskyi and his entourage, the head of the armed forces had no doubts about russia's attack. and

actively prepared for it, hiding his own plans from both the political leadership and the united states. in order to save kyiv, zaluzhny was ready to cede territories for a while so that the russians would stretch their supply lines and become vulnerable to the strikes of the armed forces. this plan worked, the enemy was forced to retreat from the ukrainian capital. on july 28, 2022, in the verkhovna rada, the head committee was applauded by both the president and deputies. and foreign guests. but if the same western press is to be believed, already then there was tension between the political and military leadership. office the president was worried about the extremely high popularity of zaluzhny among ukrainians, as evidenced by closed public opinion polls. after the failure of the ukrainian counteroffensive in the summer of 2023, the situation only worsened.

the conflict began to emerge in the fall after the publication of zaluzhnyi's article in the economist magazine. in it, the headman declared that the war had reached a dead end and had entered a positional phase unfavorable for ukraine. the general was denied in the president's office. zelensky himself refused to comment on the alleged conflict. why should someone help and develop this topic? i have a working relationship for... he has to be responsible for the result for the result on the battlefield as a commander together with the general staff, there are many issues there. at the end of 2023, public attacks on zaluzhnyi were launched by a people's deputy from the servant of the people maryana bezugla. it was she who at one time headed the tsk, which had to prove that the president and the head of his office, andriy yermak , were not involved in wagnergate. the scandal regarding the failed operation of the main office.

intelligence on the detention of wagnerites in the summer of 2020. insulting posts by bezuglya on facebook to the address of the headmaster use enemy propaganda. opposition. and even most of the servants of the people demanded her dismissal from the post of deputy chairman of the committee on national security and defense, but the leadership of the parliament, contrary to the regulations , blocked these attempts. this week, rumors about zaluzhnyi's dismissal gained a new dimension. on january 29, a number of politicians, journalists, and telegram channels began to spread the topic of the resignation of the head of the committee, which had apparently already taken place. according to the information of the ukrainian media, zelenskyi did indeed meet with zulazhny and offered him to write a report on release. he refused. the same evening, after rumors of his resignation, zaluzhnyi published a photo with chief of the general staff serhii shaptala. later, a number of western media reported that the resignation

will definitely take place by the end of the week, and either the head of the gur kyrylo budanov or the commander of the ground forces, general oleksandr syrsky, may head the armed forces instead of zaluzhny. among the reasons is the report. differences regarding mobilization were mentioned. the president publicly says that he sees no reason to mobilize an additional half a million people and the suspicions of the president's office about political ones ambition of zaluzhnyi. on friday, zelensky collected the supreme commander-in-chief bid, for which, as journalist yuriy butusov claimed, he planned to gain support in the matter of changing the commander-in-chief. however, after its completion, no personnel decisions were made. and... neither zelenskyi nor zaluzhnyi have commented on the situation. in principle, holovkom rarely gives comments to the media, and the president, against the background of numerous rumors about zaluzhny's resignation, never once neither denied nor confirmed them in his evening addresses. spent got up. and to the situation at the front. tough battles

rolling in all directions. the situation in kupyansk remains tense, said the commander of the ground forces of the armed forces of ukraine oleksandr syrskyi. continues to intensively conduct assault operations and constantly raises new reserves. our defenders near the city of kupyansk and the village of tabaivka are having a difficult time. avdiivka also remains a critical area. russian troops advanced to the northeast and south of the city, the institute for the study of war informs. there is a high intensity of artillery fire and the infantry attacks do not stop. the northern boundaries are under a secure lock. the defense forces of ukraine conduct complex exercises on the border with unfriendly neighbors. hundreds of national guardsmen, border guards, military and security forces regularly practice joint actions in the event of a repeated invasion of ukraine

through the territory of belarus. why should the usurper lukashenko think 100 times before joining russia's illegal war? see further. these are not battles in the east of ukraine. yes, our defenders are training to defend the borders in the north. shot. soldiers of the armed forces of ukraine, together with border guards , national guards and the security service, conducted exercises close to real combat operations. the goal is to repel the invaders in the event of a repeated invasion attempt from the north of the country. we will demonstrate one of the options for actions against the sabotage reserve during special measures to search for and eliminate sabotage and reconnaissance groups of the enemy. as you can see, in our scheme, there are groups covering the borders of the state border, groups

covering which are posted at the borders in separate directions and groups covering which cover the rear directions. not only the infantry were involved in the complex exercises. armored vehicles, but also powerful cannons, a cannon, a shot, it worked wonders in general, we worked well on it, and a battalion that stood in positions helped it, it was able to successfully hit the enemy's fortifications, these are dugouts, machine guns... yuriy, like most of those involved in the training, are not newbies, they all went through fierce battles at the front. they went through the crucible of war in the south and east of our country, they have considerable combat experience, so they were fully incorporating it during these training sessions.

in the northern operational zone, measures to maintain training are carried out on a permanent basis. the process is managed by experienced people. of the team, anton is 18 years old, and he has already been to hell, participated in the counteroffensive in zaporizhzhia, has his own opinion about the battles for the south, poor planning. bad management of the battle, well, it’s a banal attack of a smaller number of people on a larger number of people from well-prepared positions, well, that is, and this is a volunteer from japan, although in spirit he a real ukrainian, loves fat and destroying the occupiers. this war is very difficult for ukraine, because russia has strong... systems and uses a lot of human resources and ammunition, so we,

ukrainians, really need support from western countries. previously, the opposition politicians of belarus declared the readiness of the potato dictator lukashenko to deploy troops against ukraine, and according to the center of national resistance, the russians are recruiting belarusians, however, our defenders are ready to give them a decent rebuff. artem lagutenko, oleksiy. espresso tv channel. an important and long-awaited decision for ukraine. on february 1, all 27 leaders of the european union approved an additional package of support for our state in the amount of 50 billion euros within the framework of the eu budget. as the president of the european council, charles michel, emphasized, the european union assumes leadership and responsibility in supporting ukraine, because it knows what is at stake . the vote came after a small group of eu leaders managed to persuade

pro-putin hungarian leader orbán to overturn his veto of the funding package. also, the prime minister of hungary will not block the issue of increasing arms supplies to ukraine through the european peace fund, although he will not participate in increasing such supplies. the head of european diplomacy said this before the start of the summit in brussels. according to joseph borel, at the moment no one in the european union is against this, as everyone understands that more weapons and ammunition for ukraine from the eu will help it, that is, us, to win a victory over the aggressor. after the controversial statement of president andrzej duda about crimea, in an interview on friday, the polish minister of foreign affairs, radoslaw sikorsky, emphasized that poland. recognizes the independence of ukraine within its internationally established

borders. sikorsky wrote about this on the ex social network. i will quote. poland recognizes the independence of ukraine within its internationally recognized borders, which have been repeatedly confirmed by the russian federation, starting with the agreement of november 19, 1990 , the budapest memorandum of december 5 , 1994, and the border agreement of january 28, 2003 , radoslav sikorsky noted. and between the fact that the russians suffer losses almost every day on the temporarily occupied ukrainian peninsula also gets a strategic object on the territory of the aggressor country. what was burning in russia this week, further in our story. in the temporarily occupied crimea , air raid alarms are sounding more and more often. on the morning

of january 30, residents of the peninsula reported a series of powerful explosions. the ministry of war of the russian federation announced the alleged downing of 21 drones in the territory of crimea and in four regions of russia. later, the armed forces of ukraine confirmed that they had successfully destroyed the radar station of the russian air defense system, near the village of rozdolne, temporarily. occupied crimea. in st. petersburg, on the night of january 31 , a drone set fire to the nevsky mazut plant. russian propagandists later reported that the drone was allegedly shot down, but its fall caused damage to several tanks and cars. a fire also broke out on the territory of the plant. pulkovo airport even suspended the reception and departure of aircraft. for an hour and a half. also on wednesday, crimeans heard explosions in sevastopol, near sakievpatoria,

which they, and we, know about the most important thing is that we know that... these are our base points, so we clean up, prepare. on the night of february 1, the explosions continued, later ukrainian intelligence confirmed that our defense forces had destroyed the ivanovic missile boat, black sea fleet of the russian federation. the enemy ship was patrolling the black sea near lake donuzlav, near the western coast of the occupied crimea. the head of gur kyrylo budanov added that the enemy ship was destroyed by six direct hits from magur's naval drones. during the drone attack , a powerful explosion occurred, which may indicate the detonation of the mosquito missiles that were on board the russian boat. up to 40 crew members could be on board. the ministry of war of the russian federation did not comment on the loss of the ship. purpose of a boat of this type, search and to destroy surface targets, and thanks to the equipment of missiles, the mosquito could destroy large warships

children moved to warsaw, started learning polish and preparing to find a job. however, at one of the events. i realized my true desires, and during that encounter of an organizational moment, where you are taught how to position yourself for the polish market, how to present yourself to an employer. i was asked where do you want to go to work? with the whole group, i said: "i don't want to work for anyone, i want to create tatyana immediately received an offer to apply for a grant for ukrainian women who want to start their own business. and... i took part, i literally applied, rewrote my project three times, deleted it, rewrote it again, and literally two hours before the end for this project, i submitted my application for a grant and i won, out of 1525 women were chosen 80, and i was in this 80. thus, the woman received 400 dollars to start an agency

for children's holidays in warsaw. winning the grant inspired tatiana, she organized ... costumes, purchased the necessary props, found premises, however, since it was the first business, even in another country, there were mistakes, the woman admits. i had to choose the right tax system, unfortunately, at the moment i will change it , because it was chosen incorrectly, although at that time i had five or six separate accountants for accounting consultations, and i was also choosing an accountant for my company . finding employees is also not an easy task, says tatiana. in her both poles and ukrainians work for her team now. having fired one employee, a businesswoman encountered unforeseen consequences. there were even threats from her side, and i even had to... go to a lawyer at some point, so now tatyana is scrupulous about cooperation agreements and has her own lawyer, the company has been operating for a year and gives a holiday to both ukrainians and poles.

natalya, a woman from kharkiv, ventured into her own business in poland and remembers with horror what she had to go through in the first weeks of the full-scale invasion. we lived in the basement for 10 days, when it all started, and it was no longer possible to stay there, two children. everyone is in the basement, and we are we decided to go to warsaw, because we had friends here. natalya is a professional massage therapist with medical education. at first, she started doing massages at home. both poles and ukrainians came, mostly on the recommendation of friends. this lasted for a year. now we are conducting this interview with natalya in the middle of her beauty and health studio, the size of which is 100 m2. the facility opened a few months ago. the woman searched for a place in warsaw carefully and for a long time. i traveled around the districts. and then i really liked this area, and decided to look for it anyway, i took an electric scooter and that's it traveled around the whole district on a scooter, looking at where

the premises were rented. then it took three months to agree the details of the lease agreement with the owner. natalya spent all her savings on the first payments. as soon as i took it, then in the salon, then immediately thought, probably. no, it was hard, hard, it was very hard, financially it was very hard, i also put my car up for sale in order to somehow pull out the interior, well, then it happened , it happened that i collected the funds that i had, gave them the last funds, and in the second month i think, god, what should i do, repair in the room. i also had to do it myself, there were completely green walls on 100 squares, and since it is very expensive to hire

someone, i just bought paint, bought everything necessary, and simply repainted those 100 squares myself. now three women from ukraine work in natalia's salon, and she is satisfied with the dynamics of development, both ukrainians and poles visit the establishment. neither natalya nor tatiana complains about the verbal... barrier with the poles, because they already speak polish, so in general the women see the future and are satisfied with the results of implementing their ideas. maria chernyakhivska, ihor antoniuk, for espresso tv channel from poland. this is how our team saw this week. i, iryna koval, was with you, i wish you a quiet night and take care of yourself. there are discounts on linex forte of 15% in pharmacies plantain you and save.

interesting to see what exactly it is. will it end or will it end with this word kenceling, which is used by almost everyone in ukraine, yes, but it usually does not happen here with few exceptions. i will remind you that cancellation is a process, a scandal, as a result of which a person loses his job, money, image and simply disappears from the information field. i can say that, if we talk about our culture, it can be said that we were canceled, well, except that dorzhapatu, you remember, is a writer. which invented various fictions, and now he agreed to leave the information field himself, now he is not seen or heard, but maybe he will return, because many people say that he was treated unfairly, but we will talk about these two bloggers literally later 10 minutes, because we are talking about the scandals with the blogger alina doratiuk and with alyona alyona, they already want to sue them, we will deal with all this, but first

let's talk about something more pleasant. to dilute all this, firstly, oksana zabushko joined the jury of the main competition berlinales brelinala will start very soon, already on february 15, but here is the question , well, first of all, i will say that this is one of the most prestigious competitions and it is the main program, that is, in every such big film festival there are simply very, very many different programs and this is the main one, that is, it’s as cool as possible, but our film party... took this news quite differently, because some people immediately wondered why this writer was hired, and not one of our cool directors, directors or cinematographers , and here is ms. oksana to cinema in general, and she also began to be mentioned at once several, well, quite loud cases, when oksana zabushko somehow expressed herself about cinema, and our film community did not take it very well and criticized her for, well, as they said, for ignorance,

misunderstanding, and ... of cinematography and cinematographic processes in general , from the last one, when she criticized the film pamphyr, well, on the one hand, recognizing its high artistic qualities, but on the other hand, she said: how could you show these ragged houses, these poor inters yes, because we have it there in bukovina, for example, everything is not like that, well , for my part, i can say that i was in bukovina quite often this summer, i honestly observed such pictures that i saw in pamfira, but on the other hand... on the other hand, many cinematographers but now they said no , on the contrary, ms. oksana is very good at movies, she watches them, she is busy with all her trips, she can still find time to watch some major, most popular documentaries, author's films, she has a high level of knowledge in general and intelligence, so she can handle it task, but i am personally talking about a slightly different persona of ms. oksana, she

is like... a fiery orator, who has been fighting against russian influences for years, especially abroad, she does it very much, it is active, i think it is effective, and it is noteworthy that together with her in the jury there will be such albert cera, this is a spanish director, very talented from my point of view, but one who does not understand political processes, geopolitical ones, or who simply likes to appetize, well, judging by his image, yes, he really likes some outrageous things, but... the fact is that more than once, and already during the full-scale invasion and before, he spoke about the fact that he supports putin and trump, and said that, from his point of view, these are the kind of real politicians who have, have in themselves strength, courage, i don't know , to agree on something and finally stop all this nonsense that is happening in our country in the geopolitical, geopolitical arena, well, i hope that ms. oksana will explain to him what

it is about, or i will... until i am saying that it would be very interesting if there was a discussion of films, yes, because they will be anyway sit these members of the jury, and i would like them to be made public, because i am more than sure that it is quite possible that there will be extremely interesting discussions between ms. oksana and mr. albert, i wish ms. oksana victory in these discussions, although it is in this respect i have absolutely no doubt about it. well, with regard to berlin, but i will say that yes , i will remind you, it starts on february 15, it is... and one of the most significant cinematic events in the world, and if we talk about politics, then yes, last year there were actions in support of ukraine, and there were eyes too bears, their logo, yes, they were clinging to clothes there, and those bears were yellow and blue last year, but at the same time, there are also a lot of different political actions, so it's not wrong that ukraine is about...
