[000:00:00;00] natalya also ventured into her own business in poland, a woman from kharkiv 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 we couldn't stay there anymore, two children, everyone in the basement, and 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. mainly on the recommendation of friends, it lasted for a year, now we are conducting this interview with natalya in the middle of her beauty studio and health of the size of 100 km. the institution opened a few months ago, the woman searched for premises in warsaw carefully and for a long time. i drove around the districts, and then i really liked this district, and i decided to look for it, i took an electric scooter and just went around the whole district

by myself. 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 she took it, then to the salon, then immediately thought, probably not, hard, hard, it was very hard, financially it was very hard , i also put my car up for sale so that somehow... pull out the salon, well, then it happened that i collected the funds that i had, gave the last funds, and for the second month i think, my god, what should i do, i also had to do the repairs in the room on my own, there were completely green walls on 100 squares, since it is very

expensive to hire someone. i just bought paint, bought everything necessary, and simply repainted these 100 squares myself. now three women from ukraine work in natalia's salon, and she is satisfied with the dynamics of development. they visit the institution both ukrainians and poles. neither natalya nor tatiana complains about the language 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. for espresso tv channel from poland. last fall, we received a message from the police of the kherson region about the search for a 16-year-old boy who, according to the investigation, disappeared in the temporarily occupied territory of the left bank region at the beginning of the full-scale war. during all this time, we have prepared many search programs

teenager, they connected autumn specialist. these are specialists who search for information from open sources, and in the end, with their help, we managed to find a small clue, an actual page of the missing boy in social networks. this all happened at the end of last year, and of course we immediately texted the teenager , but he didn't respond for almost a month. imagine our surprise, our joy, when suddenly, at the end of january, we received feedback from others. hello boy, yes, i'm fine, boy said that he is still in the temporarily occupied territory, so for security reasons we do not mention his name and surname. at the same time, he agreed to talk with us via video link. let's watch a fragment of our conversation. i am very glad that you are all right, that we contacted you. today is

january 26. it's the 24th year and i'm fine , i'm fine, apparently, i'm in distance learning in the second year, since the guy is still in the temporarily occupied territory, no more details, the main thing is that he's alive, he is healthy and as he assures us, he is safe and everything is fine with him. after a full-scale invasion, in particular , many children disappeared in the kherson region, and we prepared more than one program about their search. of course, we don't always get feedback from people who may have seen a missing child, but this story proves once again that you should never lose hope, it is with your help that it is possible to find the missing. i understand that ukrainian tv channels and local residents do not broadcast in the temporarily occupied territories

they see the child tracing service. except in social networks, that's why your reposts of our videos are very important, and literally a few minutes of your attention, these are 11-year-old artem abramovich, 12-year-old... maksym kravchuk and six-year-old oleksandr kulish. all these boys also disappeared in the temporarily occupied territories of the kherson region. and where they are now, no one knows. therefore, i am addressing first of all the residents of the kherson region. artem abramovich looks 11 years old. he is thin and has blond hair. he was last seen a year ago in beryslav district region in the village of dutchany. maksym kravchuk disappeared in september 2022. now he has already. almost 13 years old, a boy of medium build and has light blond hair, and this is oleksandr kulish. he turned six at the end of last year. the boy is thin, also has blond hair and dark eyes. he disappeared in the village

of stepne, this is the berislav district of the kherson region. if suddenly someone has information about the possible whereabouts of artem, maksym or oleksandr, or maybe just saw these guys somewhere. let us know, even a small one the news can become very important. you can call the magnolia child tracing service at any time of the day by dialing the short number 11630. calls from all ukrainian mobile operators are free. if suddenly you are in the temporarily occupied territory and cannot make a call, write to the chatbot of the child search service in telegram, or look for us on facebook. j. has told you only a few stories of missing children due to a full-scale russian invasion. in general, since the beginning of the war, we have received thousands of appeals about help in the search. of course, the vast majority of children were found and now everything is fine with them, but unfortunately, the fate of many still

remains unknown, and everyone can help find them. believe me, just a minute of your time can be decisive. go to the website of the magnolia children's search service in the missing children of ukraine section. here you can view all the photos of the missing, maybe you will recognize someone and eventually help to find them. congratulations friends, the saturday political club of khrystyna yatskiv and vitaly portnikov is on the air. as always, we will talk about the most important ones events this week and we will try to look into next week. the change of military leadership in our country, everything that is happening in the united states, and a little bit of the balkans, this is about the first part of our conversation. in the second, as you understand, we have a conversation with vitaly portnikov. and now we welcome

our guest to the studio, this is dmytro snigiriev, military expert, co-chairman of the public initiative right. mr. dmytro, congratulations, glory to ukraine. kudos to the heroes, congratulations, thank you for the invitation. congratulations, sir. well, let's start with these resignations, like you you can see the reasons for the resignation, not only of valery zalozhny, but also of the top military leadership of the country , because the chief of the general staff, serhiy shaptala, was also dismissed. the political point of view can be considered here, well, let's talk about the fact that from the military point of view there are no grounds for the resignation of the commander-in-chief. it is about the fact that those accusations against him, that the front line is stable, look like quite surprising, given the fact that since october 23rd, a full-scale attack by the russian occupiers on the positions of the armed forces of ukraine has been going on, and on all

sections of the front without exception, and accordingly, when the russian occupiers have no success on the front line and the front line is more - less stable, to say that the occupiers have only tactical success, to blame it on the commander-in-chief, well, it looks, at least , a blunder, and the main thing is to say that the resignation was gratuitous - it is a complete failure of communication with ukrainian society, when there is no explanation as to what exactly caused the commander-in-chief's resignation, especially since the hard-working personifies the institution, which is trusted by up to 90%. of ukrainians, namely the armed forces of ukraine - the highest indicator of trust on the part of the ukrainian people, but dear presenters and dear tv viewers, i will also express my version of these events, maybe that

the resignation is necessary and currently an informational attack on syrskyi, this is element of the special operation is the russian special services, let me explain what we are talking about, currently it is the russian federation, in particular its... the so-called talking heads declared that the voluntary resignation did not cause the snowball effect they had hoped for, that is, disagreements among the military. leadership, which would have consequences in the form of mass protests or other actions that would demoralize the armed forces of ukraine and, accordingly, ukrainian society in the first place. it is worth mentioning that the resignation of zaluchny was prepared precisely by the russian side, because actually the first element of the fact that a special operation was being prepared for an outsider was the statement of the ex-president of the russian federation. medvedev on january 24, at the time

of the downing of il-76 in the sky over bilhorodchyna, when he said that the downing of this ils was an internal, intra-political showdown between the military and the political leadership of our country, that is, in this way, the foundations were laid for a possible further scenario regarding the compromising of the meritorious elimination him from the position, and finally i finish, that company of discredit. of syrians in russian media, which is currently taking place for the last two days, indicates that this scenario is again was preparing in advance, they calculated the possibility of appointing her legal successor , and currently the main task is not even the tsarist tsar, introducing an element of mistrust into decision-making by the top military leadership of our country, that is , the main target audience is the servicemen of the armed forces of ukraine. demoralization of personnel and, accordingly

, an element of mistrust in the reception, well, in the implementation and adoption of certain decisions. mr. dmytro, i understand what you are talking about now, at the same time, today we are standing on the threshold, in fact entry into the relevant offices of the new team, and according to yuriy butusov's example, it looks more or less encouraging, that is, some kind of extraordinary update. it did not happen, many of these people also worked in the zalozhnyi team, worked with syrsky, in general they understand the specifics of the russian-ukrainian war, the expectations that the president has already voiced and the points that the new head singles out for himself, how it all looks are you feeling irrational now? well , let's talk, the first tasks that are set are not at all clear to me ololkom, this is the appropriate conduct of the audit. the armed forces of ukraine emphasizes

the fact that the armed forces of ukraine currently have 1 million servicemen, and, accordingly , up to 300,000 on the frontline. but dear tv viewers, dear presenters, then explain to me the informational hysteria surrounding the adoption of the law on increased responsibility for mobilization measures and, accordingly, the very hysteria about the mobilization of another 400 - 100 thousand personnel, when the main explanation was the rotation of personnel, and now it turns out that you just need to conduct an audit, and the armed forces of ukraine have enough personnel to carry out this rotation, then explain, and what was it then, for a month the whole country watched incomprehensible political games around the law on mobilization, the corresponding claims to the address for. .. regarding the implementation of mobilization

measures, but the main thing is to say that the figure of ukrainian budget expenditures for mobilization measures has increased in a strange way, if the guarantor called the figure 500 billion hryvnias, then at the moment already the number sounds, podlasa voiced it 720 billion, where the increase actually is by 50%, but the main company for understanding the conduct. these measures on the territory of the occupying country, according to forps, should cost the russian budget 7.5 billion dollars, and according to the national bank, it is approximately 300 billion. so explain to me how ukraine is occupied , mobilization measures are twice as cheap for the russian budget than in ukraine, where they should cost the ukrainian budget at least

500 a... but tell me, mr. dmytro, still the verkhovna rada is working on a law on mobilization, this story is not over, of course not, but mr. vitaly, let's talk about the fact that even if this bill is voted on, it will come into force only from the month of april, and then what about the rhetoric regarding the rotation of personnel and, accordingly, social justice, this issue, i would still like to understand, how do you imagine the further mobilization process in such a case, that it is a rotation after all? or the mobilization of new military personnel? in first of all, mr. vitaly, this is the lack of communication with the ukrainian society again, because it is necessary to explain that the mobilization of all 400-500 thousand people is not a one-person, simultaneous action

during the month, but, accordingly, it is the plan that the armed forces of ukraine need to replenish the staff, that is, it can stretch for a year. and for two, this should be explained so as not to scare ukrainian society, and what is added, when you talk about rivers for two, you are already scaring society, because many people in our country believe that this is all will end in the coming months, at least by the end of the 24th year. mr. vitaliy, well, i am not a barista, accordingly, like his budanov, who promised us coffee on the yalta nabereshnyi, that's right, i am, after all, mr. podolyak from the president's office promised that, budanov promised that we would... go to the crimea, and the hurivites really visited there, where they visited, well, that’s a separate topic, let’s talk about the fact that the statement there was completely different, budanov spoke specifically about the yalten embankment, but less so, let’s talk about the fact that according to the same stoltenberg’s estimates, which have been sounded so far, must

prepare for decades ahead for a possible military confrontation with the russian federation, so it is not even about a war in ukraine, but possible military ones. the conflict and the direct confrontation of the nato countries with the russian empire, it is worth talking about this, these are real assessments of reality, and it is no coincidence that the largest military exercises since the cold war are currently taking place in europe, involving 90,000 personnel, and the legend of these exercises is the resistance to russian aggression in the same landfill corridor, to things, the scenario of which does not... absolutely does not foresee, moreover, skibitsky comes out and says that there is currently no possibility of escalation of tension in other parts of the russian federation, except for ukraine. mr. dmitry, let's talk about the actual situation at the front, because the latest

reports tell us about simply insane pressure and even certain tangible advances of the russians on the front line. in particular , avdiivka, where even a certain percentage of the population in general is under them control and in the private sector are already fighting. in addition, at chasiv in the klishchiivka area , they also managed to push their troops forward, as they say, marinka novomykhaivka is not too cool news for us. in work , the story seems to stabilize for us. all in all, given the situation. at the front, in your opinion, is the currently chosen tactic of mobile defense, which was noted by the ex-head of the hostages, effective, and most importantly, will syrsky adhere to this tactic, it will be appropriate, because let's talk about that tsirskyi is a member of zaluzhny's team, he

didn't get anywhere from anywhere, and when tsirskyi himself, let's say, at the moment... is told that he is the creator of victories in the kharkiv region, according to the successful nature of kyiv's defense, then i have a question: where was he then commander -in-chief of the armed forces of ukraine, luzhnyi, wasn’t he actually planning this nature of the operation, syrskyi is his subordinate, but less so, what will happen now, that is , the appointment of syrskyi will absolutely not affect the plans of the armed forces of ukraine, regarding further actions on the line of battle , this is active defense, the only thing worth noting is that... again, the nature of the tactical advances of the russian occupiers in the avdeivka area became possible thanks to the fact that the main intelligence department of the ministry of defense overslept the tactical maneuver of the russians, namely the use drainage pipe with a length of 2 km, with which they entered the rear of the ukrainian group in the area of ​​tsarska okhota.

this operation was being prepared for several months in a row, welding work, drilling work was being carried out, bc hiding places and equipment were being made. and... at this time kyrylo oleksiyovych gave numerous interviews about how we will counterattack in 2024, currently the main, key points of defense in avdeivka are under threat - this is the zenith and , accordingly, akhimik, so what is currently happening in avdeivka is fighting directly in the urban development , this is, respectively, in the private sector, nezalezhnosti street, and accordingly , where high-rise buildings, soborna street, chernichevska street, battles are highly intense. and the armed forces of ukraine are forced to deplete operational reserves in order to level the future the russian advance precisely in the area of ​​high-rise buildings, because then bahmud will actually repeat himself. the scenario and the fact that the company is currently taking place in avdeivki is an attempt by the occupiers to gain direct control

over the locations of the armed forces of ukraine. they did not storm head-on, the avdiiv koksakhim, as they had hoped, probably, er, ukrainian military personnel directly, flank coverage, respectively, steppe bardichi with access to the swallows, the second is an industrial avenue that allows control over locations . distance to the location to 1 km, this is the truth about the events taking place in avdiivka, but you agree with the point of view of western military experts who say that even the capture of avdiivka is a purely political effect that will not lead to any tangible changes, even on the front line in the donetsk direction. mr. vitaly , i agree with the statement of the classic, do not read, paraphrase, do not read the western press, because when the western press reports that the capture of avdiyivka should be pre- scheduled for the presidential race of the russian federation, then i would like to hear the opinion of russian, sorry, western

experts about who would actually compete with the russian dictator, in case of tactical defeats or successes, directly on the line of combat. in my opinion, such theses, and moreover, they sound from rather highly respected western media, aim, on the contrary, to legitimize a dictatorial regime. to show the russian federation the possibility and presence of political competition in the russian federation and the so-called free expression of will, i.e. pluralism of opinions. why are such omissions from the western press? explain to me thank you, thank you, mr. dmitry. dmytro snegyrov, military expert, co-leader of the public initiative on the law of the case , was on the air. we 're going to break for a couple of minutes, but stay with us. there are 15% discounts on rezi table in

billion, it would be the greater part in ukraine, as you know, then... a certain part israel, the problem, however, is that now the house of representatives has to think about all this, and there are people there who are directed against ukraine, in the worst case, in the best case, many of they simply do not think that ukraine is important, and it remains an open question whether they will vote for it or not, well, no one really knows, if we talk about... basically , the amendments, what are they dancing around now, in particular in the senate? i, i did not understand you. ah, i'm paraphrasing. we understand that what happened in the senate is essentially a vote for, an agenda item, so we're going to start talking about it. on the other hand, consideration should begin, in fact, it will actually be a struggle

for, important for... congress, the points that should be taken into account in this vote. what are the most important points right now for different groups, including both republicans and democrats? well, among the democrats and for a certain part of the republicans, they actually really support ukraine, they understand that this is not a matter of goodwill, that it is a strategically, geopolitically important issue and that america, as a country that occupies an advanced city. in the international arena, to support ukraine, because supporting ukraine is tantamount to supporting democracy, a certain, certain balance on the world stage and so on, they understand this, and they are thus ready and not only ready, but they want to support ukraine, the problem is with those representatives, with those congressmen in the house of representatives, they

are largely from the south and the west. of the middle west, which means that ukraine and russia are far away for them, and even further for their voters. many of them have never been abroad, so they are not so focused on such international affairs, it has always been like that and now it continues to be like that. the second problem is that there is trump, you see, he has said quite clearly what he thinks not favorable to ukraine, well, there are certain hesitations, but mainly this is his message. and all of them representatives, to a certain extent also senators, and mostly representatives, are afraid of him, afraid that he will become president, afraid that if they do not vote the way he wants, then he can retaliate in one way or another, and it is very possible, so there is also this factor, in the end you have to
