occupied since the first days of a full-scale invasion. i hope that everything is okay with dmytro, he stopped communicating precisely because of the occupation. the official date of the boy's disappearance is october 10 last year, that is, there has been no news about him for more than three months. i am asking you to look carefully at dmitry's face. he looks about 14 years old, has dark hair and thick eyebrows. he has a dimple on his chin. if suddenly... does anyone know where dmytro polinets can be, do not delay and dial a short number from any mobile operator the number of the magnolia children's search service is 11630. calls are free, if you suddenly cannot call, write to the chat bot of the children's search service in telegram. this is just one story of a missing child. in total, since the beginning of the war, we have received almost 3,00 requests for help in the search. fortunately, mostly the majority. the children have already been found, but the fate

of many remains unknown, especially in the temporarily occupied territories, where the work of the police is effectively paralyzed, where it is impossible to leave and there are communication problems, sometimes people who can't find their own children don't even know what to do and where to turn, if suddenly you find yourself in a similar situation and have no idea how to act, call the short number 11630 or write to the chatbot. search for children in telegram. here you will be provided with all the necessary advice. in addition, everyone who sees me now can already help find the missing children. take just a minute of your time and visit the magnolia children's tracing website. here you can view all the photos of the missing. who knows, maybe you are someone recognize and eventually help to find. i also want to remind you that the search for the ten-year-old is ongoing. artem kholodny, who disappeared in

the kharkiv region back in september 2022, was asked by his mother to help find the boy. imagine that a woman has not seen or heard from her son for more than a year. i am appealing to everyone who may have seen or know any information about my child, my son, cold, artem andriyovych. if anyone has seen the chives and can provide any information, please do so. that the mother's heart is breaking and the fact is that artem kholodny's parents are divorced and live separately. it so happened that when the war began, the boy was with his father in the city of kupyansk, kharkiv region. on the third day of the full-scale invasion, the city was completely occupied, and later communication was cut off there. for almost six months, mrs. elena did not have any news about her son and only in september 2022, she received from him...

a short message in viber, it was september, somewhere between september 10-13 last year, the 22nd. let me remind you that on september 22, the soldiers of the ukrainian armed forces liberated kharkiv oblast from the occupiers, and it was in during this period, the son of ms. elena contacted us. of course, the woman tried to call artyom, wrote him more than one message in response, but all attempts turned out to be useless. the connection with the child mysteriously broke off again and where. everyone is cold now and it is unknown, so your help is very important. look at the photo again and remember the boy's face. he is a very active boy, fair-haired, with such a slender build, he is now in the 50th grade, light-eyed, gray-blue eyes, active, kind, a good boy. if suddenly someone saw artem cold, or knows where he might be now, do not delay and call immediately. to the hotline

talk about the main events and the main processes, i would even say so, this week, we will definitely start with the situation of the russian-ukrainian war, the situation at the front, in particular... ... from everything that is connected with it. after that, we will talk about the support for us from the european union and about the long-awaited support that is still for us from the united states. in the second part of the program, as you well know, vitaly portnikov and his analyst are waiting for us. but we are starting with a series of such questions and answers with our online guests, and this is oleksiy melnyk, head of foreign policy and international security programs at the razumkov center. we welcome you. glory to ukraine, heroes of the word, i congratulate you. congratulations, mr. oleksiy. so, let's start not with an event at the front, but with an event that has become, perhaps, the main event of military and political life in ukraine this week - this is talk about the probable the resignation of the commander-in-chief of the armed forces of ukraine valery zaluzhny, do you generally

think that such a resignation will take place and what are the prerequisites for reformatting the country's military leadership and for its preservation, by the way, let's discuss both. you said military-political, i would maybe say political-military, because obviously there's a lot more politics involved in this, uh, but also it can have significant and negative consequences for military affairs, uh, in terms of how much it maybe probably well, everything looks like the process has been launched, the informational... company is already in full swing, and well, i'm afraid that a decision will still be made, although i repeat, it's not too late to stop it, and i hope that someone will , who initiates this decision and especially to the one who will adopt it, will explain that

there will be no benefit from this, and damage can be caused, well, if not irreparable, then extremely great. mr. oleksiy. for ukrainians, it is very important to understand the alternative , and there was also a lot of talk about it this week. in your opinion, will it change and can it at all to change the state of leadership of the ukrainian army, the ukrainian military in general, in conditions where, on the one hand, we are in the hot stage of the war with the russian federation, and on the other hand , it is not clear who is leading us in this war in a military sense? well, basically. it is not clear, because there is a commander-in-chief of the armed forces, and he is responsible for both planning and execution of operations, in the military, however, no matter how high the level of democracy is in

the society of the military, there is still a vertical, and when there they say that there are any consequences or not what are the possible consequences, in any case , the military is more... than other collectives ready to accept the decision and obey it, that is why there is a certain positive in what is on the one hand a strong strong such quality of a military organization, with on the other hand, there are also certain disadvantages in this, if we talk about possible replacement alternatives, well, first of all, let's agree that there is more than one general in ukraine who is capable of performing this function, will he be better able to cope with it, will he be worse with it, which he can bring novelty, we can only say this not at the moment of appointment, but after

a certain time after he, well, we are now analyzing a theoretical situation, hypothetical, that is, after... when this new commander may be appointed , here, but in any case the appointment of a person to a position requires a certain amount of time, it is weeks, and maybe even months to enter this position, that is, there will be a certain transit period, and now this is also something that was very undesirable b to do, any delay in any. and crashes in the administration can have very tragic consequences, let's talk, mr. oleksiy, about these proposals that general zaluzhny outlined in his article on the portal of the cnn television company. how valid do you think these proposals are, what should be highlighted,

what should be argued with? oh, i'm afraid we won't have enough air time, because basically this is a doctrinal article, and it's... an article that contains a vision, a strategy, whatever you want to call it, you can tell me if you remember , that cnn published its own after publishing these articles the material that explains whether or not they are trying to explain how they understood this article, that is, for me, this is another confirmation of the high quality of this material, well, if so, well, it is very concise to try to single out something, then first of all it is about a new philosophy of combatants actions, and actually speaking, it draws attention to... attention, when there are some technical, practical things that stand out, but

the key thing is a new philosophy of combat operations, it is a combination of traditions taking into account the technological innovations that are now, it is an emphasis on preserving of human life, and one more a moment that is also important to me, it is determined by a certain period of time during which in... lina can, if she starts doing this thing immediately, can achieve an advantage over the enemy, on whose side economic advantages in economic, human resource, he talks about five months that are needed to create new technical means, train people and apply them on the front line, that is, if it really happens and... and at this point it will be somewhere in the beginning of summer, then maybe

this window of opportunity will appear in ukraine, when ukraine will be able to repeat, well, if not an offensive, a counteroffensive, then at least intercept a strategic initiative on the battlefield. mr. oleksiy, in this material valery zaluzhnyi states that the human resources of the russian federation exaggerate ours. on the other hand , the ukrainian state is not yet able to improve the number of armed forces without the use of unpopular measures. at the same time, this very week the government sent to the verkhovna rada of ukraine, the new edition of the law on mobilization, if you had the opportunity to read it, then whether it decides on your opinion, these are the main problems of both the ukrainian army and ukrainian society. of course i should. i am constantly arguing about that, those draft laws,

the discussion process, but you and i all understand very well that the best law does not solve problems, at best it creates a base or framework in which this problem can be solved, let us also let's remember how the question of mobilization turned into a problem of we... mobilization, that is, this problem did not appear today, and the key thing that needs to be solved is that now politicians, and this law by law is also in the process of both its preparation and what is in the text of this law, they still try to shift the main responsibility to the military, but if you turn to other laws, including the law on mobilization, well, it has a longer name, but conditionally, and a number of laws that are introduced...amended by this draft law, then there we see a whole list, starting from

the supreme commander, here the president of ukraine, including all ministries, local authorities, and the military plays a role there, i mean these the so-called military leaders have only one of the roles, the final, but only one of the roles, the responsibility of the commander-in-chief of the armed forces and the general staff comes... already in principle at the stage when these people are selected and sent to the armed forces, then yes, they are responsible for their training , for their high-quality training and for their application already in accordance with those military specialties, to the level of training, here, but in my opinion, this key problem is not solved, at least i do not see it now at this stage, but tell me how much now critical... for the ukrainian army to receive this aid, which is delayed, how much longer can we live on the reserves that

we have, realistically speaking, mr. vitaly, i don't know the answer to your question, and i think it's good , because sometimes we are too fond of openness, and if it is really a great answer, mr. oleksiu, thank you , if yes, if someone really reveals these... objectively plans for our enemy, then i think they will only applaud it , by the way, about excessive openness, well, i couldn't help but notice, this week it's just... almost every day, we were told that glsdb glide bombs appear in ukraine, well, we regularly talk about some kind of weapons that we can get, viktoria said, before that everyone in the ukrainian, in particular, information space spread it, then she confirmed it victoria nulan, of course, but why are we reacting to it almost

every day this time, what is the point of such an emphasis on the temporary, in any case ... i would like to hope that there is an information policy, that is, it is not just like in such a normal, peaceful life, that's who is the first will announce, that is why they attribute this merit , i would like to believe that there is a coordinated information policy, because we understand very well that the war is not only fought directly in the trenches, the war is also fought in the information space, that is, sometimes it is advisable... for example, to make announcement if these weapons don't arrive there in the next few weeks, but we 've also seen other examples with stormshadow missiles, when it's literally there, figuratively speaking, minutes after it was announced that ukraine was getting the storm shadow, the first missile storm shadow hit a target on the territory of the russians,

or rather, the occupied territory of the region, i.e. maybe, maybe, maybe there is such and such a bad approach, but i will repeat once again, i would like to believe that these messages are verified by the time of submission, and who will speak them and in what form. well, by the way, when vladimir putin does not hide his plans, he is already frank, he says that we will create a demilitarized zone that will protect the territory of the russian federation from attacks by western weapons, and the territory of the russian federation is understood as a territory. of ukraine occupied by the russian federation, so how should we treat these plans? in general , the demilitarized zone from putin's point of view should end, i don't know, in hungary or slovakia or poland? putin, or this state of putin , was characterized by angela merkel a long time ago, not against

the night, we will remember her, but when she said that he lives in a parallel world, from that moment. all the time that he, when he says something, he lives in a parallel, parallel reality, in some information bubble of his own, what if, if his there, well, it would be a discussion, let’s say so , but to ask, this question asks, that is , the demilitarized zone, that’s great, 50 km from the russian border, deep into russian territory, here is ukraine 50 km from the russian border, so this is a normal solution , well, i mean... crimea is returning to ukraine and all the occupied territories, russian troops are being withdrawn from them, this is a demilitarized zone, this is the first step towards peaceful coexistence, it seems like a good decision, but what putin is talking about well, it's just complete absurd, because it suggests moving this, that is, it is

like this mine trawl in front of the tank, that is. to move him, move him until he stops there, i don’t know where poland is, what’s more, that they have the suval corridor, well, that’s absolutely it, let’s put it this way, it can be taken as a threat that putin is not going to stop, unless he will stop, uh, mr. oleksiy, very briefly at the end, the general features along the front line, how the situation looks now, whether the active defense tactics we have chosen are giving... their results, i would say that this is probably close to the maximum of what it is possible to achieve these results now, because if you look and compare the maps, it is not yesterday, it is today, but let's say at least in a month, or

if you look in a year, then russia occupied almost twice as much territory. than we were able to liberate, here , but this is the criterion that must be applied very carefully, because it is precisely here that our enemy tries to show his success through territorial gains, and well, in my opinion, exactly what general zaluzhnyi also said in his article , that it is not, it is not criterion, or should not be a criterion, and this is not the way in which victory is achieved, that is why... unfortunately, the enemy has an advantage in manpower, first of all, and not only in number, but in the freedom to throw it at these m' clear assaults without consequences for the domestic policy itself. russia, and if there are not enough weapons in ukraine to destroy them, or to neutralize this numerical advantage, i am afraid that

this creeping occupation will continue for some time. thank you, mr. oleksiy, oleksiy melnyk, head of foreign programs of politics and international security of the razumkovo center was in touch with us, we will be interrupted for a few minutes, but please stay with us, please. there are 15% discounts on fervex in the pharmacies of travel and savings, there are discounts on mukaltin - 15% in pharmacies podorozhnyk pam and savings, there are discounts on zzilor 10% in pharmacies podorozhnyk pam and savings. vasyl winter's big broadcast. this is the great ether, my name is vasyl zemai, let's get started. two hours of airtime, two hours of your

let's continue the saturday polytlub, khrystyna yatskiv, vitaly! bortnikov and we are adding to our conversation ivana klympush tsintsadze, people's deputy of ukraine, head of the committee on ukraine's integration into the european union. mrs. ivan, congratulations, glory to ukraine, glory to the heroes, good evening. good evening, therefore, we can congratulate you, mrs. ivan, that one of the most difficult such moments in the relations between ukraine and the european union has been resolved positively. the european union agreed to allocate 53 million 50 billion euros to us, which is 53 billion dollars, by the way, only 10 times less than the american aid. so are you surprised that it was a unanimous decision, how do you even explain it, why did viktor orbán finally give in? well, we have to understand with you that it is precisely from within.

december, when orbán blocked this decision, all the efforts of our partners in the european union, they were aimed at getting exactly this decision, supported by all 207 eu member states, and it was, well, let's say this, and methods and , if you want, pressure, and persuasions, and explanations and, well, such rather sloppy arguments of the internal discussion. but at the same time, colleagues were also preparing for a possible plan b, regarding the adoption of a decision on the allocation of these funds for ukraine for four years by 26 members without hungary, but everyone emphasized that this was a very undesirable option for them, because they understood that this will be such a symbol of separation and destruction of this, well , demonstrated unity of the european union from

a point of view. from the point of view of supporting ukraine, so i think that the leaders of the countries, the members of the european union, and the heads of the european institutions, they are happy that it was possible to do this, and we really managed to do it, let's say with such a team game, at various levels of pressure on hungary. mrs. ivano, we must note that these 50 billion euros are not about one year, we are talking about... certain conditions that our country must fulfill in order to regularly receive tranches, we are talking about regular checks on the fulfillment of these conditions, and at any moment, as we understand, the possibility of rolling back or stopping the program, which we have the prospects of not failing here and the prospects that nothing will change in european politics, some other orban, let's say will not insert sticks into the wheels. well, let's be precise in our expectations and our

explanations. program for four years, it does provide for the opportunity to discuss how it is being implemented every year, and the european commission should provide such a report on how it is being implemented every year, but any decision that will concern its further extension, and it will to be adopted exclusively by a qualified majority, that is, by two-thirds of the votes in the european union, which is important, there is no faith. and indeed there is an element of what this the program can be stopped after a review after two years of its operation, if the european commission, at the request of the european council, gives a negative negative conclusion there, so there are still opportunities for such pr support

of orban's internal and external policy. and using it as a platform for criticizing ukraine, criticizing the policy of supporting ukraine and so on, but at the same time you are really right, it is different, this assistance is different from the previous loan assistance to ukraine in 22 and 23, and during in previous years it was unconditional. even in this decision of the european council, we see a clear message that... this mechanism will work under the condition that ukraine maintains its democracy, it will maintain its pluralistic multi-party parliament and its functioning, and it will maintain the basic principles of rights and freedoms and civil liberties, including, well, here we hear the echoes of hungary, including

the legal system. minorities and the rule of law, and this already lays a rather serious bell, as on me, for our government today, but beyond that , after this mechanism is finally agreed on from the point of view of its mechanics, a credit agreement will be adopted, which will be based on the so-called plan of ukraine, which the government still has to present finally to the european commission, and i wanted them to... present it to the ukrainian parliament by that time, and this plan will form the basis of the conditions that ukraine will have to fulfill every quarter in order to receive the next tranche, and this very much distinguishes this program from of all previous grants to us.
