inflatable circles and children's armbands. this is how men of conscription age try to escape from ukraine. to romania via the tisza river. our correspondents will tell you how border guards detain violators and why you should refrain from such a deadly extreme. transcarpathia attracts ukrainians not only with tourist locations, but also with the border across the tisza river. in november 2023 , border guards detained two men of military age, with a full circle and children's armbands. the violators were just about to cross the river when they were seen by military officer yuriy. noticed the movement of two persons towards the state border, so he decided to disguise himself, to wait until the persons came closer, and when the persons began to overcome the barrier fence, together with the youth of the prokurodo outfit, they detained these persons. another

extremes wanted to reach romania on inflatable donuts. have you seen the tisza river? no, i don't see it. no, i didn't see it. you know how much are they lives have already been taken , we did not know this before, the border guards of the hrushevo branch say that they are literally being attacked by men who are trying to escape from ukraine to romania from the other bank of the tisza, here about 40 m. neither the depth of the river nor its rapid current stops the violators. it has more large stones with some sharp elements at its bottom. and falling into the water in such conditions, especially if it is a dark time of the day, a person does not have many chances to stay alive there. for effective bird's-eye view, border guards use drones. at night , a thermal imaging

camera helps to detect trespassers. as soon as we observe a person who looks like a trespasser, we immediately report on the tsus line, then the recovery team is called, leaves and detains him. border patrols are also rescuing fugitives who have already drowned in the river and need help, in the last two months they have pulled six people out of chest water. directly, if the violator is already in the water, but allows the water level to go up to his waist, then the squad can get this person, if there is no such possibility, the emergency department is called, we are already watching the person, after which the emergency department helps, after the arrest. ages are taken to the department of inspectors of the state border service. there are various excuses for being detained, some say that they are simply lost, but it is very difficult to get lost here, near the tisza river. well, most of them have their own valid reasons that guide them in those moments, someone has a family there, someone needs

to earn money, someone is running away from the war. the law does not provide for criminal responsibility for the attempt to escape from ukraine, however, prison threatens the organizers of illegal... crossings, and for us it is more important not only to prevent illegal crossing of the border, but to go after the organizer of such illegal crossings, after all. if we were to kill an entire network, in 2023, our operatives eliminated 56 such channels, and this work continues. at the beginning of the full-scale invasion of transcarpathia , 25 cases of death of conscripted men who tried to illegally cross the border were recorded. of them 19 drowned while crossing the tisza, another six died while pretending to be snowed in. to the forest kateryna ulii nikoleg palyamar , espresso tv channel. that's all the news for this

hour. more interesting and up-to-date information can be found on our website espresso.tv, as well as on our social networks. join, put your preferences. see you well, gentlemen, let's go back to... the telethon show, at this hour i, andriy saichuk, am still working for you, 726 days of the russian large-scale invasion, let me remind you, today we consider this to be our counting down and waiting for victory of course, but you know, from our point of view, from our present , it is still difficult for us to understand where we are, at the beginning, inside or at the end, but what we understand, we understand that for us victory is in ... i think the vice president of the united states, kamala harris, formulated this yesterday

when she said that the victory of ukraine is when ukraine emerges from this war as a strong, independent and democratic state. that's how our ally in the united states, kamal garis of ukraine, sees victory, but what really is happening and how can we get there? we will now speak with oleg robalchuk, the head of the analytical and advocacy organization. the center of joint actions, a politician, a public figure, the vice-prime minister of ukraine for european integration in 2005, and also the head of the president's office during the time of president yushchenko. mr. oliva, i congratulate you , i congratulate you, ah, i know where to start, kamala garis mentioned here about a democratic ukraine, about the fact that ukraine should be a democratic state, this is one of the conditions for our victory, and at the same time he left the other day a new... index or democracy rating from the british edition of the economist and ukraine

is there, now we will show it to our viewers, and you probably saw it too, if not, at least i will tell you for the viewers, we ended up there in 91st place with 167, 647, sorry, of the studied countries, ukraine is in 91st place, and this... means that on this map, in particular of the world and europe, ukraine is marked as a hybrid regime, that is, we are neither a full democracy, nor a partial one democracy, but we have such a yellow hybrid color, this means that in general, if we take eastern europe, then we are located among the hybrid regimes a little. higher than bosnia and the situation is a little better in georgia,

in armenia, all other countries are considered democracies, not hybrids, starting with north macedonia, albania, moldova, romania and so on and so on, somewhere simply by these positions, by those points, what we scored, if you take latin america, we are somewhere between honduras and mexico closer to honduras, honduras, and if you take africa, we are somewhere in... what do you say about this, do you agree with this assessment that ukraine is not fully democratic at the moment? i don't know any ukrainian, except for those who sit at the bank, they will say that this is not so, ah, and this problem, it has a very long history, but

the essence of this problem is that in ukraine, well, what distinguishes democracy there from other forms of ownership, that in democracy there is the rule of law, there are independent institutions that allow citizens to defend their rights, and there are certain guarantees. for local self-government, there are opportunities for political, political parties competition, well, everything that you and i know and talk about, what is in ukraine... until now, the fact that we are still in this gray zone, it is also clear to me, because i cannot imagine a country that does not have parties, as institutions that would compete, that would defend the interests of their voters, accordingly, we do not have a division of the branches of power, so yes, the only thing that distinguishes us is that ukrainian

society desperately tries to replace the absence of political... parties, and the absence of democratic institutions, and we simply do not get tired of digging for power, demanding reforms, and we, in spite of everything, defend our right to live in this country and our right to build democracy here, it's just not happening as fast as we would like, but again i'm not surprised that we're there, but i'm sure of that , that we will still get out of this quagmire, by the way, someone wrote a simple comment when i was talking about it, that hungary means a democratic country, and ukraine does not, uh, and really, we have there are so many problems, as if orban has so many objections, that they have authoritarianism and so on, and, but, here

what do you think about this, hungary, maybe this is just such a sign that it is unfairly calculated, that we... somewhere is also a democracy, well no, we are not called an autocracy, they call us a dictatorship, we are some kind of hybrid democracy with the elections, we have elections, i repeat, we do not have political parties as institutions and there is no struggle between political parties, in hungary something happened differently, we are moving on from that, well, suffering. this swamp space with all the flaws of this post-soviet space, and orban, at some point he took advantage of the fact that in hungary has democracy and began to collapse this democracy, and i have to see how it is reflected in them in the dynamics, the situation

with hungary, but now it is clear to me that hungary is now... a country that cannot be proud of its democratic achievements , it is a backward country in the european union, it is a country to which there are a lot of complaints, and actually, due to the fact that they have such a situation with democracy, they do not receive funding from the european union, but then again, me once, my parents mine taught, you don't look at others, you look at yourself, we, well, we can find a thousand and one reasons to empathize with someone, to look for injustice. but it should be clear to ukrainians that what we have is not actually democracy, and we still need to fight and fight for democracy. well, if we talk about democratic institutions, about what democracy is, about how they work, we have been living for more than a year, and even before the war, it actually started, when we had a cabinet of ministers there, it is not

quite cabinet of ministers, verkhovna rada rather dysfunctional, and these are the basic institutions of democracy. well, yes, well, how does democracy work, well, just the basis of democracy, why would i immediately start with the party, because in a democratic society , there are parties, parties, they are looking for their voter, they protect the interests of this or that part of society, they go to the elections with their programs, before that they study what their voters want, they have a certain ideology, there is the right, the left, er, i don't know, liberal, and they compete in the elections, in front of the voters, they try to convince the voters that they are the political force that will best fulfill the wishes of the voters, and if you elect them, they say, if you elect us, we will come, form the government and fulfill everything we promised you, and then they

get into the supreme council , get into the parliament, and if they get enough votes there, they can single-handedly form a government. and then implement this program, problems with the implementation of the program begin in the parliament, there is either a vote of no confidence or a political crisis, and then another party takes the place of the party that ran, but at the same time, it is very important that the political force that goes to the verkhovna rada makes promises, it prepares a team, because it knows that it has to do it, and then it works to fulfill all this, what do we have? we have never had it like that, we have political parties like that, they do, they have political technologists, they promise many things, as a rule, what the voters want to hear. but their problems start when they get into the parliament, the problems start with the fact that they cannot single-handedly form the government, as a rule in ukraine, despite all the names,

we have always had the defining role of the president, who also goes to the elections, and it must be understood that on the one hand we have parties that go to the elections, promising a lot of everything, and on the other hand, the president, who goes to the elections, who does not have exactly the same powers there... opportunities to promise something in the sphere of executive power there, but they promise all the same, and then they come to power and everyone says: i promised, but in ukrainian realities, politicians are always formed around the president, and we we have a situation where the parties do not promise that they did not have it there, when they get to the parliament, they regroup around the president, and the president is not so much the president as his office there... they begin to form a new structure of power, and at the same time, the people who go to the government have no illusions, that they are accountable to the parliament, that they are accountable to its voters, they clearly understand, especially

now, that their fate solely depends on them, it depends on whether they are liked, not liked, ah, the streets are the banks of the president, and this greatly distorts our system, that is, the presidential one, we already talked about it with you, about the fact that the presidency itself... the presidency of the presidential power in ukraine in this form, in this design in which it is, it somehow leads to these things when, when the blanket pulling begins, the powers are mixed and so further, confrontation with the parliament, taking away powers from the government, that is, it is us every time and this leads to the fact that the government is in fact very ineffective, ugh, that is, we have replaced the competition. these, you know, visions, we have a tremendous shortage of people who would like to be in government because of this, and uh, this is simply replaced by the search for the guilty, and

we are now witnessing another change in power there, which does not strengthen us, we see that despite everything, the presidential team does not want to take responsibility for mistakes, it always finds someone who is on its point of view more suitable there is such a possible illusion that the parliamentary model works well only where there are well-educated and well-educated citizens, in other words, we see now on the example of the united states, when something is happening with the republican party, i.e. the party that for centuries was a stronghold of liberalism there, is now turning into something very, very strange, but i watched the last polls very interestingly. such a trend, for example , among trump voters, if a person has completed at least high school, i.e. this high school has completed 12 grades, the percentage

of trump voters there already drops by 40 to 40 or so, i.e. less than half already for trump, more than half already for for biden, and there, the further, the more this percentage falls, falls, falls, you are already university graduates, there is already something like 15 or so percent only for trump, that is , there is a direct... correlation between how educated a person is and whether he will vote for trump, and this means that without an educated citizen, without being trained in political culture, and even just culture, democracy can be dysfunctional, even as a party, but with presidents there is a chance that everyone strained and chose the right president, he has will, vision, team, and the country is turned upside down on the head, so to speak so to speak, and moves in the right direction. well, you and i have been watching very different presidents with very different personalities for more than 30 years, they are so different, they simply

have nothing in common, but there is one thing in common, the same problems, everyone brings dear friends , everyone seizes more and more powers, none of them, in fact, was able to fulfill what was promised, and they stay in power only at the expense of... the fact that they attract the security forces to themselves, control the judges, that is, it seems to me that six presidents are already enough to to understand that it does not happen, it is impossible in such a system of power to find a person who can change the entire system without relying on the broad support of the people, instead of looking for support there in clans, in business groups, to control the media, ukrainian politicians are simply trying and to avoid responsibility before people, but in our country it is a surprising thing for me, because...

the average ukrainian voter is a head taller than the same american voters, i can say this very responsibly, we follow politics a lot, we react painfully when someone tries to take away our freedoms from us, but again, without political parties, we cannot only through social movements, initiatives, associations, we cannot influence, and here we have to get out of this circle, just another way. from this circle , we have no influence on politics through political parties. it seems to me that we have already paid such a price and have come so close that we will still break out of this circle, but i am sure that the presidential republic, well, it definitely does not provide an answer to our challenges and our problems, and even during the war, we, we, we understand , we hoped that we understand that it is necessary to delegate much more power during the war, but we

... we see these advisers, whisperers, and and and a real gap, now we have a prem the prime minister is in japan, i don't know who among the ukrainians there knows that he is in japan, the japanese probably think that this is the head of the executive power, and you and i understand that the power was now in munich, well and what's more, you know, we just talked about, for example, the problem with blocking the border someone there, or someone, are we talking at all... about the problems of these , for example, polish farmers, or whether it is the agrarian department, we don't really know, it's also a question of communication, for example, now this country is in some kind of pit, in including the emotional one, that is, we do not understand what is happening at the front, what about the mobilization, what are its principles, what about the economy, what about the help of western leaders, and what happened with, for example , the resignation of zaluzhny, or whether sirskyi is a person who can be trusted, that is there are a lot of questions and they can literally be asked only... c

in the best case, broadcasting a still nationwide tv channel, albeit heavily cut for incomprehensible reasons, is the maximum we can do, but we have no dialogue, there is simply no dialogue and there is no platform where this dialogue is possible, well, for example with president zelensky, and, that is , he will give an interview there to some raid, rai tre, raitro, i don't know, chinkwa and so on, and so on, and somewhere there we will hear something someday, but here i see it is on... for example, recent polls asked ukrainian sociologists whether they what they think about the telethon single news and we see the drop in two years from 70 percent trust to 36 that's the percentage of people who don't trust like the telethon single news 47% that's more most people do not trust the only news as a way of communication, what is happening with those

communications of the authorities in general, we have a chance... that after all they will start talking to people like adults and what it really means to talk like adults began to do consciously under that structure of power what is it, why is it necessary for these faraway ermaks, they have a different task: they will come up with some things to interrupt us with information, some regular chewing gum will appear in space, that is , what i will continue will continue. no one wants to take responsibility here , because we have a team of pr people, every politician has pr people, and the pr people of this politician think about one thing, no matter how, so that their boss does not get negative criticism, they are about something else are engaged in, so they either overdo it or they switch or replace these concepts, they try to avoid important discussions

and well... they really encourage things, that's what is happening in our country now, you delayed the poles, well, this really scares me a lot, because i watch with horror, i understand why this is happening in poland, there are local elections in poland and in the districts bordering ukraine, there are great chances that these are right-wing, ultra-right anti-ukrainian forces, that they can significantly gain votes there, if for... there is a threat that straw will start burning on the ukrainian side, we also have enough our own, well, well, well, how to say obsessed or extreme right-wingers, we also remember our history of relations with poland, and this despite the fact that poland is such a great partner, but...
