direction brothers, chasivyar, toreetsk, yes , many, but what, pavlo, tell me, please, what do you directly know about the village of lastochkino, and other villages that are here and there, for example, from lasochkino, as far as i understand that the ukrainian troops have withdrawn from the villages that are also withdrawing nearby, what was the situation there when you were there the last time, was there anyone from there to evacuate for you? we were in the last one not so long ago, but we, as the police, have our own conditional direction there, yes there is a civilian one, work with the civilian population and a military component, this sorry, not to us, huh, well, for example , vlastochkina, when were you last, vlastochkina, well, probably somewhere around six or seven days, well, that’s roughly, it’s not exactly, roughly, but the next village is orlivka, for example, today analysts. they write that there are already

russian troops on the outskirts, ukrainian forces do not confirm this, for example, in orlivka, when you were in the last, but for orlivka i won’t tell you for sure right now, well, you need to know that, you should already ask the crews, well, which ones work, but the guys report every day, tell stories, where, how did you leave, but i won't tell you for sure right now, and the last question, you mentioned children at the beginning, how many children remained in these cities from... and this is what i told about the evacuation of children 73 child, this is the fifth stage of evacuation measures , where forced evacuation was announced, that is, these were settlements of the ochereten community and marinska, they were determined, they were also determined by the decision of the military regional administration, well, maybe some more settlements will be added, but that. .. gradually

the fact that which settlements are subject to forced evacuation, we work hard on them, and here is this example, the fifth stage, 73 children, and such a very tight deadline that , well, well, people understand, people understand, and that's how i left with groups, when you talk to parents, they even, well , we film it all, that's all, now you 're showing the footage, oh... even this family, now when the policeman is putting the child in the car, even the mother of this family said , that is correct, ugh, they left krasnogohorivka after the war, more or less, well, how did they they thought it was a settlement near krasnogohorivka, but it was still far from the front there, but when they had a flight to the yard, it became clear to the mother that

it was necessary to leave in general, and here you say, it is already, as you said , the fifth level of evacuation, mandatory, compulsory, yes in the marinsk community, yes, the fifth stage, the fifth stage, this is such a conventional name, the fifth stage of evacuation, please tell me if it is correct i understand that if the fifth stage of evacuation is coming, it means that the settlement is very close to being occupied, or literally wiped off the face of the earth there, that the russian troops are very close, or how to explain it? well, this is explained by the activity of hostilities, shelling, and well, a decision is being made, maybe , well, i won’t even tell you right now from which component, but there is an understanding that the children who are located, well, it’s not only those settlements , which are on the line of hostilities, namely, other population...

points that are closer there to a distance of 5, 7, 10 km, that is, where damage is possible, well, with such rather powerful types of weapons, and artillery there, and rocket systems of salvo of fire, we all understand that they are hitting for dozens of kilometers, and that they , well, simply to protect the children, the children of donetsk region, such decisions are made. thank you very much for your comment, pavlo dyachenko, inspector of the communications department of the main... department of the national police in donetsk region, a member of the white angel evacuation squad. we talked about how the evacuation of civilians around avdiyivka is currently taking place. thank you very much. ukraine may reduce the number of ministers and ministries, respectively, due to lack of money. he also announced this yesterday president volodymyr zelenskyi during his press conference, he said that he is discussing the idea of ​​reducing the number of ministers. with prime minister

denys shmygal, i will truly note here, as the political scientists we interviewed told us, shared their opinions, denys shmygal himself is unlikely to be affected by any personnel rotation, resignation, he will affect everyone. suits, at least as of now, it looks like that, but who and where are going to be cut, as volodymyr zelenskyi said, will be clear in the spring, in a month or two. listen. when we speak about the reboot depends on some things to be honest with you. we have this conversation with the prime minister, and it is based solely on the lack of money. if there is a corresponding deficit, will continue, we will do everything to infrastructure. and it is not only about the cabinet of ministers, so that the management infrastructure of our state is reduced, and this is such a format, we are prepared for it, reducing the number of ministries, reducing the number of ministers, it is easier, or

cheaper, let's say. yulia zabilina, the political columnist of the nv edition joined our broadcast, yulia, hello, my congratulations, hello, actually, yes, you did. a question to the president about changes in the government, about whether he is going to cut someone there, please tell us whether we have reason to believe that the president may really soon say goodbye to a number of ministers, and what do you know, is it only a matter of money, as the president said, is it possible that he is simply dissatisfied with someone, will such a replacement be ordinary? yes, it is really planned to reduce the ministries, the last sometimes it began to be actively discussed. because of the very question of money, as you said , because we have not yet allocated money from the congress, or rather he has not yet voted for the allocation, and because i know that prime minister shmegal really will not be to change, as you said in the briefing, that he

really arranges the top of the president's authority personally, the head of his office, and certain ministries, the minister. indeed they are now, well, let's put it this way, there is a certain dissatisfaction of the president with the way they work, and here the question is not only about money, but really ministers, let's say, with whom it has already become possible to work uncomfortably, but still, the main reason, as i was told, is money after all, that is, in order to optimize work in the cabinet, certain ministries want to either reduce or .. it is possible to combine or add functions there to the premiere, but this is how they want to do it, so who is the first there for the departure or for the unification, do you know who, who is in this queue for the first time in the first place, more precisely

i know who can get rid of the position, i don't want to right now, you know how to reveal all the cards on the air, but from what i can tell that it is for... an example could be the ministry of veterans affairs, that it can be combined with some other ministry, most likely, from the fact that i i know, from what i see, that it can be the ministry of social policy, that is, they can possibly be, they can be united together, and now minister laputina has just been removed , it has been a long time since she did not please everyone, both in the council and in the office, and that's why... for the sake of optimization and somehow i don't know how to improve it maybe work, they want to give up this ministry, but it is not yet final, that is, as they said, if there is not, if there is a lack of funds, only in that case

this optimization will take place, yulia, please tell me, is it possible one of the ministers is not satisfied with the western partners, maybe he is complaining about someone... how much this factor is satisfied in the office, do you know anything about it? and no, i will tell you that in the west there is actually no dissatisfaction with the ministers, and in fact we have slightly exaggerated the influence of the west on personnel changes in the country, from what i hear, communicate , from what they tell, there is no such thing, you know, those who are dissatisfied with this should be removed or replaced there, that is, i... i do not hear any dissatisfaction in the west regarding the work of the cabinet. ugh. but you said that laputina, maybe yes, who else among the ministers does not like the president? well, laputin has already been fired in principle.

well, as i was told, there are about four or five ministries that are currently being considered, what to do with them in general, should they be left, or should they be? somehow to optimize, and there are certain, let's say, well, now it is not a final decision, that's why the president, in principle, he said yesterday that they will still consult with shmygal, that they will still... somehow discuss it, that is, there is no , what do you know, the decision has already been finally made, these rumors that were spread there about the fact that everything has already been decided, or that the scumbag will be removed, they are completely untrue, as i was told, what scumbag in the near future will he even can increase, it suits everyone so much that it can increase even more his influence, yes, yesterday, yesterday, when volodymyr zelenskyi was answering your question about this optimization in the government, shmyhal was just sitting and nodding his head, completely

agreeing, i understand that he will take a direct part in this reduction process, he is, he is already taking part in principle, and i will tell you what i found interesting about the description of shmyhal, that he has not yet accumulated so much negativity that he could be fired right now and hang everything on him, all this is possible unsuccessfully . that is, i kind of predict that he will still sit in the chair for a long time, prime minister, record holder, and this, this is good , in fact, what you said, such a detail, did not gain a negative, as a rule, in the ukrainian political system, some time must pass , all the negativity that has accumulated over this time is hung on someone and he is fired, who can absorb this amount of negativity that has accumulated over all this time, from what i see, and even yesterday... the president partly about he said this in one of his answers, this is the verkhovna rada,

that is, now, in principle, everything that is negative goes to the verkhovna rada, and this also applies to the draft law on mobilization, it concerns going abroad, it concerns other various such problematic topics, even it seemed to me that with this draft law on bep too tried to change it somehow. to the verkhovna rada, it didn’t work out, yes, they failed this draft law, it was hasty, that’s why people’s deputies, now we are responsible, in principle , for all the negativity that exists, two words, just for context, i will add that international partners they ask ukraine to restart the economic security bureau, prepared, as far as i understand, in the president's office, but they present it as a government bill on restarting the bep, it is not what it is. as such a reboot of a big country , the ambassadors of the big seven countries asked the deputies

not to adopt this bill and wrote letters, but the deputies still put it to a vote, failed, of course, but still showed that despite the ambassadors' warnings, they can do what that , what do they the instruction came. yulia, my last question is, tell me, please, what do we know about any personnel changes in the army, can they continue in the future, or all personnel changes in the army? have already taken place, ended with the resignation of the general staff, rotation, and that's all , as far as i know, for now, for now, all these personnel changes, they are currently completed, we are just waiting for the appointment of a new head as the commander, the commander of these separate forces uavs, but they also told me that they will be determined in two or three weeks candidacy, but about all the others... about the power bloc, about the resignation, i don't know , about the dismissal of the kid, and by the way, there are

rumors about this too, but i don't confirm these rumors, i was told that he will remain in his position and so on, that is, after all, i would predict personnel changes in the cabin and everything, not in the office, not there somewhere else, well, in the office and in the office there are five or six managers or six or seven, as far as i remember , they are effective and well, according to the president. and they will not be touched. yulia, thank you very much, yulia zabelina, political a columnist for the publication of nv. we talked about the prospect of personnel changes in the government. we have everything for today. i encourage you to subscribe to the radio liberty website. like this broadcast. you can leave questions, remarks, comments in the chat under the broadcast. in this way, you will support our work and support independent journalism in ukraine. see you tomorrow.

at the end of last year , 13-year-old renat tuktarov went missing in donetsk. i'm about... i ask everyone who sees this video to look carefully at the faces of miyol and renat. if you know any information about these children, call the hotline of the child tracing service at number 11630. calls from all mobile operators are free, and as always , i encourage you to repost on your social networks. sharing can help find the missing boy and girl faster. it is possible that, like many children of the temporarily occupied, it is a boy and a girl could be exported or deported to russia. however, even in such difficult situations , we do not lose hope and do everything possible to find the child, in particular , we use osint methods of information search. in short, the essence of the investigation is the search and analysis of information available in open sources, for example, in zmi, on forums, sites, in messengers, and, of course, in

social networks. yes, precisely with the help of autumn specialists in the child tracing service. it was possible to find out very important information about the missing sisters sasha and nastya liponova. the girls disappeared in mariupol in the first days of the full-scale invasion and for a long time nothing was known about their fate. we suspected that sasha and nastya were no longer in ukraine and ended up in russia, and this version was confirmed during the autumn investigation. we managed to find out that the girls are really in russia. before the war , the sisters studied in one of the after a full-scale invasion, they ended up in donetsk. here is a photo from social networks, in which sasha and nastya are actually in the temporarily occupied donetsk. it is faster than all spring 2022. and already in the summer of 2022 , they were taken to nizhny novgorod. again, there is a matching photo on social media,

and here the sisters are still together. however , after that, joint photos of sasha and nastya did not appear again. we found out that sasha liponova lives in the city of lukhovitsa, moscow region, and on september 1, 2022, she even entered a local technical school. and here, for example, is a photo of sasha with a diploma for an award in a poetry contest, here the girl is reading poems in one of the city squares. there is also information about what sasha lives in a foster family or in a local hostel. as for her sister nastya, thanks to the autumn search, we learned that she most likely lives in the city. kasli, in the chelyabinsk region. and here, for example, is her photo, which nastya posted on may 30, 2023 on her page in the social network. and this photo was published earlier, namely on july 24, 4, 2022. of course, everything we learned about the girls we immediately passed on to the police, but until this data is officially

confirmed, sasha and nastya will be considered missing persons. but the most important thing is that the received information inspires hope that the girls are alive, healthy, and everything is fine with them. currently, we do not know under what circumstances sasha and nastya lipunova ended up in russia and whether they became direct victims of deportation. in general, the deportation of children is a component of the crime of genocide, so i want to note that if you personally know about any crime against a child, in particular about abduction or deportation, do not remain indifferent and immediately report it to the police, or report it to our website stopcrimeua. do you you can even do it anonymously. and finally, please go to the website of the child tracing service. all these boys and... chatka are missing persons, so if you recognize any of them, please inform us on the hotline by short number 11630, calls from

all mobile operators in ukraine are free. we have created a resource through which you can report any crime against a child, in any city, at any time, just go to the site and report, and we will launch all possible mechanisms... punish the criminal. stopcrime u.a. the program of the ukrainian voice of america service is broadcast from washington. time time. i am maria prus. congratulations. bill on financing. aid to ukraine would receive bipartisan support in the house of representatives if brought up for a vote. this was stated by the spokeswoman of the white house, karin janier. according

to her, the administration of president joe biden will continue to promote this initiative in support of ukraine, israel and other us allies. for this, on tuesday, biden will call the leaders of both houses of congress to the white house. also, the purpose of the meeting is to prevent another shutdown, a partial suspension of the work of the us government. which may occur if the budget bills are not adopted in early march. the lack of new supplies of defense aid to kyiv from the us, in particular the critical lack of ammunition in the armed forces, became one of the reasons for the loss of avdiyivka - say officials in ukraine and the us. at the same time, the united states produces up to 30.155 mm shells per month. what prevents these weapons from being sent to ukraine and in what way... the defense funds the training of ukrainian military personnel in the us in the conditions lack of congressional approval of financing aid to ukraine. about this, sabrina singh, the deputy spokesperson of the pentagon,

was asked by the correspondent of the voice of america, carla babb. recently , the minister of foreign affairs of ukraine said that ukraine would not have lost avdiyivka if ukraine had weapons and they received artillery ammunition in time. do you agree with him? i agree, avdiivka was a strategic retreat, and it was a retreat caused by congress' inaction, there is a direct connection. we know that ukraine now needs artillery and ammunition and air defense equipment. unfortunately, as of december 27th, we have been unable to send aid through the president's empowerment program, so they are running low on supplies. due to the inactivity of the congress, they had to carry out that strategic withdrawal from avdiivka. to change positions and calculate where they are going to continue to strengthen their defenses in the east and south of ukraine. the us currently produces

about 28,155 millimeter shells per month. the united states does not use them, ukraine needs them. why not send them to ukraine, hoping for something extra funding will be approved. they are made monthly, but again. the additional funding package is about replenishing our own stockpiles, so this package is key for ukraine to get the artillery, air defense munitions that it needs, but we can't send things from our stockpiles that we really don't have. so, once we get those 155mm shells in our warehouses, we'll be able to ship them, but we don't have them right now, so we need congress to... pass this additional funding, what we have been talking about since the beginning of october. and i should mention that we are also working on a temporary budget. we still do not have a budget

for 2024. therefore, it is very important for us to approve not only our budget expenditures, which are currently delayed, but also additional funding for ukraine. let's talk then about the difficulties for the pentagon in relying on unapproved aid. who now pays for the education of ukrainians? does the pentagon still pay for training, although there is no money. well, there is money allocated, like... direct financial support of ukraine, this is our long-term security assistance to ukraine. but yes, now is the point where the army is going to have to make some tough decisions about where they're going to get the money from, maybe from other programs. so now is a difficult time not only for ukraine, but also for the us army. we cannot simply turn our backs on those ukrainian military personnel who come either to europe or the united states for training and send them back to

war. our armies. our services will have to start talking and making some tough decisions that will affect the entire armed forces. so, the army is now, as i understand from officials, paying for the training of ukrainians in germany because the president considers it an important mission, is that correct? that's right, it's mission critical, again, there's a mix of different pieces of funding that help support that kind of training, but if we continue to work. the amount of funding that is given to us, it is absolutely certain that the army will bear more costs. what does this say to our allies, if in an area where the united states should be building up its forces and increasing support, it potentially says that in a few months they will run out of funding to support their efforts in europe? i think that's a great question, congressional inaction certainly has consequences, i think our allies.

are now looking at us and asking themselves, is the united states going to be committed to us, is the united states going to stand by not only as an ally and a partner, but to continue to support ukraine, and the president has said very clearly that yes, we are with you, but that we protected you, we need more money, we also need congressional support. the united states is concerned about the supply of north korean weapons to russia, which the kremlin is using in its war against ukraine. asked by reporters about the possibility of increased sanctions against north korea and china that could facilitate such arms sales, state department spokesman matthew miller said washington is in contact with allies. we have made it clear to a number of countries that we believe that the strengthening of arms exchange relations between north korea and russia should be of concern,

the fact that... north korea is supplying russia with weapons used on the battlefield in ukraine should be a matter of concern to us, and we will continue to raise this issue. commemoration and solidarity actions were held in dozens of american cities on the second anniversary of russia's full-scale invasion of ukraine. the participants, forced migrants from ukraine, people from jaspor, americans, representatives of other countries, called on the congress to approve funding for the future. aid to ukraine. in new york, the event lasted for six hours to broadcast the atmosphere of the kyiv maidan during the revolution of dignity. also , a 20-meter long blue-yellow flag, sewn in zaporizhzhia especially for this action, was unfurled there. in detroit, owners of transport companies and truck drivers organized a car race. they were joined by representatives of the diaspora from georgia and lithuania. and in seattle , more than 200 people came to the demonstration. the participants marched from

of the city council to the symbol of the settlement of the space needle observation tower, calling to support ukraine in its struggle for freedom and independence. ukrainians are fighting against putin, and iranians are living in the country occupied by khamenei, the islamic republic. the islamic republic is helping putin by providing them with drones to kill ukrainian women and ukrainian children. we condemn the atrocities committed. islamic republic. this event is of great importance to taiwanese people. we support ukraine because you were invaded by russia for no reason. i am very sad for the ukrainians, i want to support them. the governor has the means to convey to, for example, members of congress, the importance of funding the war for freedom of ukraine. the governor can support aid.

to ukrainian americans right here in the state.
