today. thank you for joining the broadcast. deputy minister of community development, territories and infrastructure of ukraine, serhiy darkach, guest of our broadcast. well, in russia, opposition politician oleksiy navalny is being buried today. farewell to him is scheduled for 2 p.m. navalny will be buried at the borysiv cemetery in moscow. previously , the politician's funeral was planned to be held on february 29, but navalny's associate ivan zhdanov says that there was no one to dig the grave that day. he connects it with'. return putin to the federal assembly, which the russian president held on february 29, which the kremlin made a large-scale event. the day before , funeral services refused to take navalny's body to the church, allegedly due to threats from unknown persons, navalny's press secretary kira yarmysh reported. it was also not possible to rent a hall for saying goodbye to the politician. in the church where navalny will be mourned today, audio and video recording was prohibited, although the church members themselves installed a video camera the day before above the altar, around the cemetery, where the funeral will be held oppositionist installed antennas on lanterns,

which, sota suggests, can be used to jam communications or for special communications. and passports will be checked at the entrance. the website of dox, which was recently declared an undesirable organization in russia, says that plainclothes policemen will be on duty at the funeral . the document about this was allegedly in the possession of the editors of the publication. i will remind you that opposition politician oleksiy navalny died in a russian colony on february 16. official cause of death from the russian authorities. natural, state-run russian media reported that, allegedly because of a blood clot, navalny's associate maria pevchyk stated that navalny was killed just during negotiations about his exchange. navalny was in a colony in the village of kherp in northern russia, he was detained and sentenced after his return to russia in 2021, first for alleged fraud and then for so -called extremist activities for more than 20 years in the colony. ilya ponomariv, russian political scientist, deputy of the state duma of russia. in 2007-16

are already in touch with us. mine to you greeting. good morning. how do you assess the situation in moscow, what will it be like today and why are there such heightened security measures. is it expected that there will be such a large number of people who want to come to say goodbye to the mass, and this may provoke certain, i don't know, protests there. well, of course, the authorities are very worried about a possible disturbance there and some kind of disorder that can happen. they specially gathered such a church, which is very far from the center of moscow, this is the marina district, and the cemetery, it is located next to it, in the brateyev district, this is the very south of moscow, that is, even if there will be a procession or something like that, it will be in the opposite direction. direction

away from the center, meaning they're going south, not north, where the kremlin is located and all that, and also you mentioned these cameras they're setting up around the church right now, that's to record everyone who comes to this whole event so that every person can be identified in the end. after all, it is placed in the single database of such disloyal people, which they have already formed, these people may also face some kind of danger in russia later, well, they will be registered, so to speak, the question here is that now in the russian opposition there is a struggle between supporters of violent resistance, armed protest and... non-violent

protest, and supporters of navalny , they belong to the last part, and that is why the authorities are worried that they do not cross this border and join the armed protest, we already have people in the russian freedom legion who were part of the structures before that. navalny, and they fear that if this protest did not grow, of course, if they will know, identify everyone, it will be much more difficult to do. from your point of view, the face of the russian opposition, the main face of the russian opposition after the death of navalny , if you can say that, it is his wife, who now actively speaks in the european parliament and in other respectable institutions and speaks about what russia should be like in the future, or after all. such a main

face, which can be her mouthpiece? look, from my point of view, russian simply does not exist positions, there are oppositionists, more vivid , less vivid, there are groups of supporters, one or another oppositionist, well, of course, a figure, and there is such a certain legacy of him, and this is yulia, yulia navalna, but if a third of such supporters belong to her opposition views, then i will already be surprised. uh, no, the only real organization that exists now is the organization of the legion of freedom of russia, a partisan movement that exists independently of these units that are fighting in ukraine, but

there is the vast majority of these partisans, they in one way or another connected with the legion, with the rdk and with other units, i also want to ask you about... about your impressions of putin's address to the federal assembly yesterday, did you hear something new for you, or for example, something that could threaten ukraine and the world, and what, in fact, was the course putin set for russia in the coming years with his address to the federal assembly? well, of course there was nothing new there, to put it briefly, he said that we will threaten the whole world with nuclear weapons. weapons, and finally we will build toilets in the village, well that's all he wanted to say, of course, it was a campaign speech, and he tried to sound so confident, but at the same time

so as not to disturb the population, and not to intimidate anyone, so that... they would come and vote for him, unfortunately, there is also a certain part of the russian opposition there, these same novenists, they are now calling on people to come and vote, of course, not for putin, but it does not matter who they will vote for, it is important for the kremlin now that there is such a pattern of queues to the polling stations to demonstrate that many people came... came, they are concerned only because of the turnout, and here is the link, it was aimed at that, to get people interested in coming. thank you, mr. ilya, ilya ponomarov, a russian political scientist, a member of the state duma of the russian federation in 2016, a guest

of our broadcast, well, next news in a minute from kateryna nekrechi. hello, below is a short summary of important and interesting news. documentary film by the director. badoev's long day won at the ukrainian cinema for victory festival, which was founded this year with the support of of the president of ukraine and state cinema. badoev's film was created from 200 hours of footage. more than 1,200 people shared these videos with badoev's team. the project included footage of crimes committed by the russian army. as for the cinema for victory festival, it was criticized, because the deadline for submitting applications for the competition was february 22, they wanted to announce the winner already on february 23, but then it was canceled. for a week. an eight-year-old boy from kyiv bought a drone for the military instead of the playstation he dreamed of. the schoolboy hoarded everything donated money for birthdays and holidays and saved earnings from christmas carols and sowing. and when he did not count a solid amount, he told

his relatives that he had changed his mind and wanted to buy a drone. the mother says that at first she was surprised by such a decision, but the son explained: he would give the money to the army so that victory would come sooner. the winner of the golden lifon award, which is chosen by online voting from among the most attractive cultural figures of ukraine, this year was the actor oleksiy hnatkovskyi. the 38-year-old actor of the film dovbush was recognized as the sexiest artist of ukraine, but this year the kevlar lifon special award goes to artists at war. ukrainian amazons, we admire you, you are an example for the whole world, - wrote the organizers of the contest. that's all for today, look for more news in ours. social networks include facebook, instagram, tiktok and the x network . well, subscribe to the listed networks so as not to miss anything important, and the last day of winter is one of the morphan, that is, rare diseases in the world. in ukraine, before the start of the full-scale invasion , there were more than 2 million people with these

diseases 75% of them remained in the country despite the full-scale war. already during the great war in ukraine , newborn children began to be diagnosed, the most common types. orphan diseases, we talk about this in our broadcast, and how the life of orphan patients changed due to the great war and what are the unresolved problems in the state in this area, we will talk with tatyana. the chairman of the council of the public union of orphan diseases of ukraine is reeling. congratulations. good morning. thank you for joining. an important topic. in 2023 in in ukraine, newborn children were diagnosed with orphan diseases. why it is important to talk about it and what you need to know about it. it is important to say that any orphan diseases should be understood as diseases that are quite expensive and incurable. but the advantage in providing help can be. diagnostics, if we diagnose them early and start treating them first, then we have

absolutely complete people with you, no different from us and you, that is why we have to talk about it, and it is very important, if we have this early diagnosis, we have treatment, we have a full life. do you perhaps have statistics, if we are talking about the time of the great war, how many new cases of newborn babies were diagnosed in ukraine, especially orphan diseases, or because of it? the fact that there is a missing register, and you do not have statistics for this at the moment, you know, unfortunately, there are no statistics on how many children are detected, because we really do not have a register, but all newborns are diagnosed, of which there are more than 200 every year 000, that is, all children born in ukraine are diagnosed with this, the number itself is how much, we have now submitted the data, we will know , i think, after some time, we have officially submitted the data to all regions to let us know the number of such children , and the absence of... this register, your organization constantly emphasizes that it does not exist, and it should be,

how long it takes to register this register, whose will it should be, maybe it should be legislative changes, as you see it, you know, we succeeded all this should be legislated in the 14th year, there is a law of ukraine that provides for the creation of such a register, the issue is that ukraine is unique, it has a legal system, and in order for these registers not to be separated, we have it all ... into this system. and just like that , during a full-scale war, we took another huge step. that week , a memorandum was signed between the ministry of health and the french company that owns this large coding, it is called orfanet. and we really hope that this is the first step, and within probably a year we will be able to implement this big, big database for orphan patients in ukraine. first, we will code them in the same way as in europe. secondly, we will actually have these statistics. let's talk now about the needs of the orphan patients in

ukraine, during the full-scale war, again, according to the representatives of your organization, the orphan patients had no problems with funding, although in the first months of the full-scale invasion, given those the events that were taking place at that time, there were certain problems with logistics. what are your current tasks, are there any problems with financing, are there any, what needs to be improved, specifically in this direction, in the direction. work with orphan patients by the state, how do you see it? you know, today ukraine finances the 14 main most expensive diseases, but we perfectly understand that this is not enough, that we have patients who are not financed now, and it was this cohort of patients who went abroad, that is, our patients naturally understood that they, we are all hiding from the war, we are all looking for safety, but one of the main decisive steps if... a patient goes abroad is the availability of treatment abroad, and just now we held a huge meeting,

such a huge conference, discussions with the ministry of health of health, with the national health service, with our european partners, we want to talk constantly with the ministry of health about expanding the list of medicines that the ministry of health must purchase, we definitely need to change the old therapy, which is available for the newest drugs that are available in europe, they are so expensive, so they have a good impact on human life, but it is necessary for there to be a political will to buy expensive therapy so that here, too , patients can live fully and that our patients were returning home from abroad. we have less than a few minutes left before the end of the broadcast, and there is probably a very, very important question. you said that early diagnosis is very important in the context of orphan diseases, who do you advise to undergo it and how do you recommend paying attention to your health, which is possible. there are symptoms, indicators so that this early diagnosis helps in treating people. you know, my advice

is to pass it to everyone, without exception to young couples who want to have children, who are planning to have children, because genetics, it can never manifest itself in parents, but it constantly manifests itself in children, so my advice to all young couples and not young people, for all women, for all families who plan to have a child in the family, it is imperative to... pass genetic examination. i thank you very much for joining in and we were able to discuss this topic on this broadcast. tatyana kolesha, this is the head of the council of the public union of orphan diseases of ukraine, and february 29 is actually the day of orphan patients, and we need to talk about it. thank you to the viewers of svoboda ranok, as well as those who watch us on the air of the tv channel, for being with us, thank you for being active in the chat, this gave them an understanding of what topics are important to you, my name is oleg galy, all morning freedom team, i wish you a restful weekend, we will see you on the air from monday,

and you should subscribe to radio liberty's youtube channel and our other platforms. thank you, colleague, for the information support , we also continue to work for you, i wanted to tell you, oksana, that if the leadership of india is helping putin, or rather , profiting from russian oil and pretending that they have nothing to do with it, then the elephants of india are on our side. zoo activists report that an elephant in india maimed a russian woman, well, respect for the elephant. and you can also help, by the way, not far away in shilinka, then also, i don’t know, not on our side or not on our side , but they said that since they have restored air connections with russia, they can deport 300, it seems, thousands of russians are there now, but they can send them all home, however, at the same time, they also

offered a similar story to the ukrainians, although there are a little less ukrainians in cheylenka, why don't we go back to... our air and to serious matters, we remind you of this qr code that you see in the corner of the screen, it's not just like that, it's so that you can donate to our defenders, 253,500 are currently in our account, we need 800, so we need 800, well, i will note that 44 is for this morning, very good, but 800 is far away, please donate, and in the meantime we will add to the conversation our guest yaroslav yurchyshyn, people's deputy of ukraine, head of the committee verkhovna on issues of freedom of speech. words to ukraine, mr. yaroslav. the hero of the word. mr. yaroslav, let's start with yesterday's discussion, which took place in absentia between, i don't know, hearings and discussions within the framework of your parliamentary committee, and then the nsdc got involved with danilov's gusto, and there it went, went a duel around telegram. i'm not talking about the fact that users of the telegram application in

ukraine have actively joined. so, what did you decide, what did telegram stop at? which, as a carrier of anonymous channels and a sufficiently powerful platform for hybrid aggression against ukraine, will you look for ways to limit it or abandon the idea? er, we will look for ways to limit russian propaganda both in telegram and tiktok, both in social networks and in the mass media, regardless of the mission. distribution, from the network that provides sites for this distribution, c depending on how the network administration contacts the ukrainian authorities and helps in eliminating this deadly danger for ukrainian society, steps will be determined regarding this network, unfortunately, telegram is now one of

the most popular, or rather, the most popular network in ukraine there is... the administration does not make contact, does not block frank russian propaganda, calls to genocide ukraine, terrorist calls to ukrainians, but once telegram did not make contact with the administration of the united states, provided a platform for spreading the narratives of idols, after more such harsh communication , the accounts were blocked, the network did not allow for distribution. actually terrorist appeals, mobilization campaigns , fundraising for needs and causes, i really hope that we will also find these mechanisms, or perhaps tougher steps, as at one time vkontakte classmates were blocked, and i am more skeptical about this, in the 17th year, when

they blocked vkontakte classmates, after all , in neither one nor the other network of such... the number of official structures of ukrainian there were, well, editors of the channels, classmates did not invite the first persons of the state to the press conference, therefore the struggle will be difficult, primarily because it is always a struggle between convenience and security, that is, exposing our society to danger, even when it is as if it wants to, at least a separate part. a huge amount of people are making money there in telegram, just like in tiktok, yes, well, but this does not mean that the state should not respond to informational dangers. does not have to counteract, should not counteract the russian one propaganda, must definitely react, mr. yaroslav, but while the state is looking for

mechanisms, such as how to influence telegram, to block all those or control those who spread propaganda, russian narratives, lies and so on, so time may pass , and we know, here is this list. channels that work exactly like that, can we do something about it without blocking or banning telegram, like vkontakte used to be in ukraine ? verify the information, it doesn't really work with everyone, because the favorite example of the novel is when people know that telegram can fool, some channels can fool, but they continue to read them. and this research on this is that a person is not a rational being in the vast majority of cases, especially, as we have already said, when there is an objection to convenience, yes, in

the telegram channel, everything is in one click, please go there, true, false, to the choice, to the color , but again, if you notice any information in the telegram channel that causes you concern, you go to... verified sources, for example, there on youtube expresso or on the actual broadcast of espresso, we understand that you can search, but how to work for the state, and other options at the moment, there are no other options for the citizens at the moment, what does the state do? the security service, together with the main intelligence agency, is currently conducting an operation to expose a whole network of people who agreed to cooperate with the russian intelligence network, of course. this is an indirect contact of tuktuk fsb, but through some advertising agencies, buying up accounts, i.e. pages and channels

of influential ukrainian persons for distribution, well, in particular, information about the disruption of mobilization there or about facilitating draft evasion there and the like, and of course there will be criminal ones, that is, there are already criminal proceedings, there will be suspicions, there will be sentences . well, basically a call to people who have some kind of audience in the same telegram, when you are offered to post information for a thousand or two dollars, ask yourself if it is worth it to sit from five years and more mr. yaroslav, i want to return to the fact that you and i have already talked about this before, we are now seeing the dynamics, it is being made public, the research shows a very... rapid loss of interest and trust in a single telethon, for which, as they say, huge funds in the budget are contracted , a completely

similar situation, we talked with warsaw, there the ukrainians in warsaw also do not understand, having now so many difficulties on the polish-ukrainian topic, there are some russian-language channels, and this is called foreign language, and all those former presenters from medvedchuk is also guaranteed budgetary support. and there are two such cases, i am not talking about kanal rada and so on, will you do something about it, have you decided something in the committee? for my part, i proposed to those who are currently taking care of the only marathon, and several options that could be implemented in order to restore trust in it, the simplest and easiest is to offer to those channels that have a ukrainian perspective, which unfortunately ... are not included in a single marathon and because of this , trust is also lost, it is to find a mechanism, how to agree with them and include them in a single marathon, it is unlikely to be supported,

well, considering the fact that no government likes criticism, but when this criticism is still very often reasoned, then of course it is even more disliked. the second option is an increase in the quality and balance of information, and it is partly embodied by the fact that materials about... the fund began to be given not by no-names, it is not known who and whose advisers, but real military personnel through departmental mass media, that is, through the army of tv , these are press officers and soldiers from the front, and of course only this it is not enough, we need a balance, in particular , of political positions, but in this direction you can praise the social, unfortunately, you cannot praise other structures. lawsuits of the single marathon, i, for my part, accompanying the court processes that are ongoing in relation to the channels not included in the single marathon,

submitted a request in parallel. to the audit service and the accounting chamber regarding the effectiveness of the use of these funds, which we allocated to support the united marathon, the audit service promised to conduct an audit, to include this issue in the audit of the ministry of culture and information policy, which will take place in the first half of this year, that is, it is actually happening now, the accounting chamber should consider this issue at the next meeting, depending. depending on whether there will be an option to return trust to the marathon, in principle, the reality of its existence next year will be to allocate the same funds for less than 30% of trust, well, it is hardly possible and realistic in principle, and most importantly, commercial channels with such a level of popularity will not remain in a single marathon, and we will

another question will arise, it is less acute now, but until the 21st year it was as acute as possible, and how can the state, the national television council or other bodies influence such a soft form of propaganda, which was quite widespread, well, on the same the interior itself up to and including the 21st to the 22nd year, in fact, so the situation with the single marathon is directly related to the popularity of telegram, and the more... they trust a verified source, the more people will look for quick, easy information, very often not verified, therefore the challenge is serious, simple, if there is no solution here, because those who make key decisions in this direction are not ready to give up such a convenient, comfortable , informational, informational warm bath, but, well, life, the situation is now at the front,

the situation in. .. in society, in principle, in any case , this issue will be much more acute if it is not resolved now. unfortunately, the tactic of running and jumping on the rake is the favorite tactic of the government in ukraine, regardless of which government it is. that's about it, mr. yaroslav, i also wanted to add two minutes, we have even a little less. i would like to return to the issue of the return of some tv channels to the digital etr, and there are many cases in different countries. areas where we are simply told by our western partners, you have to do it, is this scenario possible here, while we ourselves have not come to this yet? well, we will either do it ourselves, and it will be a demonstration of our democracy, or we will do it under the pressure of our western partners once again, demonstrating heroic overcoming of the obstacles that we have created for ourselves, there is no other option, it will happen , it is just a matter of time, which option can

develop faster, the story has been going on for over a year now, i think second, i think second, this question is already heard repeatedly, and of course now our partners, primarily in europe , do not pay much attention to this, but only we will open the negotiation procedure, the issue of freedom of the press will arise much more acutely than it is now, and we saw it, in particular, in the cringe stories from bigos-info, is it from our money, here we are... so, the time will come, let's say this, that's for sure, mr. yaroslav, thank you for participating in our program, yaroslav yurchyshyn, people's deputy and chairman of the verkhovna rada committee on freedom of speech was with us, and now it's news time on the espresso tv channel, and khrystyna parubiy, together with the team, has already collected the latest, most important information, ready to share it with us, khrystyna, congratulations, you have a word. thank you, colleagues, it became known that valuable things were damaged by the drones of the occupiers,

we will tell you about it. release, as well as about enemy losses in a moment, please wait. news on the air espresso, i'm khrystyna porubiy, i'll talk about the most relevant at the moment. mass shelling of the occupiers. kharkiv oblast, four locals were injured as a result of the attacks, oleg senigubov, the head of the region, said. in the village of metrofanivka, kupyan district, an enemy drone dropped explosives near two people. a man and a woman were hospitalized with injuries, the russians dropped a guided aerial bomb on the village of osynove. a local resident was injured, and it was also destroyed.
