troops in the kherson, zaporizhzhya, and partly donetsk regions, as well as the temporarily occupied crimean peninsula, and all this mass, as well as all the iron that has been attached to them, must be provided with something 24x7. and what are we waiting for then, what conditions are the armed forces of ukraine waiting for today to strike the kerch bridge. unfortunately, the temporarily occupied crimea peninsula is second only to the moscow region in terms of air defense and anti-aircraft component. in addition to everything else, the kevchen bridge itself is protected not only from the territory of the crimea air component, as well as from the territory of the mainland of the russian federation, so it has a double coverage of the member air defense. in order to have an effective impact from the air, it is necessary to control this ko'. as for the sea

borders, there are constant patrols, by the way, these are the ships of the fourth rank, that is, high-speed patrol boats, which were recently destroyed, and they are constantly patrolling the kershchyna bridge to counter any threats of naval drones, they have created boom barriers, they sunk several barges to make it difficult the process was about... it was precisely the achievements of the kerch bridge by our surface drones, and also if it was not raining, but they are also from the side of the sea of ​​azov, precisely from this part, they also conduct patrols, that is, the kerch bridge is serious enough now is guarded, and it is necessary to create appropriate conditions so that the strike is as effective as possible, because there must be one strike, and this strike must... completely destroy

the kerpchen bridge so that both the road and railway parts cannot restore it not just there for a week or month, year, and this will affect, catastrophically affect the capabilities of the russian occupation group in the south. this week, one cannot help but remember this pobedobesiya festival, which took place in russia, and of course, in the occupied territory, they also... tried to bring their slightly sectarian vibe to it, we know that there were no such large-scale military parades, but there were various car races with flags, free porridge, portraits of the immortal regiment, and various other such agitation actions, which russians they are trying to change common sense among residents. territories, why people uncritically

accept all this propaganda, why they still, even after the 14th year, and after the year 22nd, do not understand that in fact russia is what fascist nazi germany was in the same 41st year, but they perceive it as a continuation, i don't know the forces of good, yes. not the forces of evil, well, let's put it this way, in any region, in any region, in any city, there is a category of people who, in the third year of the full-scale invasion of ukraine, believe that russia is not here what, that's all provoked the west, that's all, that's nato, that's all biden did, but putin, he's such an angel. who is trying to somehow correct this

situation and save ukrainians from being absorbed by europe. they are? yes, they really are. these are people who have a completely different outlook. the outlook is destructive, i would even say so, degrading. degradation of a person's worldview. and it does not evolve, it degrades. and they are everywhere, especially in those regions where there was a rather serious influence for years and even decades of the influence of pro-russian political forces, narratives and so on and so forth. unfortunately, we can record this not only on the territory of the temporarily occupied crimean peninsula, it is recorded constantly even on the territory of ukraine, even in those regions that would seem to be maximally pro-ukrainian, that is... western ukraine, this is

central ukraine, there is enough many people who continue, well, we also saw in kyiv, the provocations were different, precisely on may 9 from the side. local crazies, but they're not just local crazies, they're people who know what they do, they get paid for it, why aren't they framed, even though they are 70 years old, even though they have nothing to do with world war ii, they wear this uniform of that time and try to play something the role of this kind of liberator and veteran, no, maybe they worked in the nkvd, the kgb, and there in general it is possible that this is the case, maybe they and their parents worked in the nkvd later, if we talk about crimea, then we know that from 2014 to today day russia brings to the territory of crimea, the colonizers, and this is more than a million

people who came from the territory of russia and now live in the territory of crimea, and they take part in these actions of victory day and... if we talk, for example, about the crimean tatars, then for the crimean tatars this day even has different meanings, because after 10 days, all crimean tatars were simply deported by order of stalin, the crimean tatar soldiers who fought during the second world war, when they came home to crimea, simply did not see their relatives, did not see their children, and among them were also heroes of soviet. of the union, by the way, yes, and this, these are the most defining moments, this is exactly what we are seeing in mariupol now, we go into the temporarily occupied mariupol and see there not the majority of locals who have come from the russian federation,

sometimes banal migrants who are brought in for so that they become the dominant component as much as possible, namely in this occupied city, ah, the temporarily occupied crimean peninsula, it has been influenced since the 14th year precisely in this format, how many plots per beyond the boundaries of the arrangement of the cities, outside the general plans of the cities, they were raided for them, a raid took place, a raider seizure took place, and there were built where there were red princely forests. they were simply produced and high-rise buildings, new residential complexes were built there, where family representatives, fsb representatives, other refugees from the russian federation live, and so on and so forth, i.e., temporarily occupied

crimea since 2014 has been inhabited on a large scale by people from the russian federation, this purposeful action. this is a very big problem will be for us after the liberation of crimea, because these people have no right to live there, if they are evicted from there by force, then this can be a problem, for example, with our european partners, who will pay attention, oh, here is a violation of rights and freedoms man, what rights are there, we have to go to advertising, thank you for your information, oleksandr kovalenko, military-political columnist of the information group. against was on the air of the brb program together, this is a joint project of atp and espresso, well, we have a small break see you, please wait. greetings, this is svoboda live on radio svoboda. we have already come to the snake itself. the following shots may shock you.

the russian occupiers sent additional fsb units to the temporarily occupied crimea. or can we talk about that, and could this indicate that repression against the citizens of ukraine, against the crimean tatars on the territory of the temporarily occupied peninsula, will increase. ah... and it is very difficult for me to understand the logic of the fsb, but i can make an assumption that in the future the repression will increase, the pressure will increase, and any manifestation of the position regarding the support of ukraine, or regarding the definition of a ukrainian citizen identity, will, well, intensify. it will be reinforced by

repressions by the occupiers, so will we we also connect this with the fact that on may 18, we remember the date of the deportation of the crimean tatars, and here fsb officers are visiting crimean activists and warning them that under no circumstances should they go to rallies or organize any actions, this is their traditional preventive work s... eh, but this time we see that it is somehow strengthened extremely, maybe this is due to the fact that the period of admission to ukrainian educational institutions is going on, and we know that many crimean schoolchildren are actually considering the possibility of studying abroad ukrainian territory, how does it happen, are there still crimeans physically who can physically leave crimea and... come to ukrainian educational institutions, do they study somehow online, or is it

mainly for those who have already managed to leave before the administration the border with crimea turned into a virtual battlefield? and here you are, actually two questions, well the first question is that this year is the anniversary of the deportation of the crimean tatars, it is a very sad date. and indeed , we can observe the strengthening of the pressure of intimidation on the part of the russian federation. more in 14-15 years, our public organization drew attention to the fact that the occupiers forbid the crimean tatars to identify this tragic memory. date, and then we held a competition among teachers of ukraine for the development of lessons, and

the topic of this competition was the right to memory, ah, and thousands of teachers of ukraine took part in this competition in order to draw the attention of ukrainian schoolchildren to this event, which took place may 18, 1944, so this is one question, which is related to the previous question, and the second question you asked is about whether there is a possibility of admission to ukrainian educational institutions from crimea, and yes, there is such an opportunity, moreover, now... there are a lot of certain actions on the part of the state

to improve the situation of admission to ukrainian educational institutions from the temporarily occupied territories, in particular from crimea, and it really persists an opportunity that was provided during covid, pis... after the full-scale invasion, it was refined, this is a video entry from. video conferencing is taking exams via video conferencing when you don't need to leave the occupied area peninsula this is a certain simplification of taking exams, and this year, non-governmental

organizations in partnership with the office of... the human rights ombudsman conducted monitoring of educational centers that provide this possibility of simplified admission, there they conducted a survey of students from the temporarily occupied territories who entered after the start of full-scale invasion, as well as the results of these studies, they will be presented on may 22, but... i can make such a certain spoiler about the challenges that exist and the challenges that the state needs to take, well, act, what the state needs to do to overcome these challenges, well, first of all, this is the problem of emigration, and it is necessary to improve the system of video

admission and distance education, and... these are challenges that are related to the social support of children who decide to leave after all, because, unlike their peers, they cannot receive support from their parents, because you know that parents cannot send money from crimea now, they cannot send any help there in the form of food, some goodies, or something like that, and we looked, well, most of the children live on a very small budget, and according to their answers, they do not have the opportunity, well, they only have the opportunity to buy food and

clothes, and therefore, in our opinion, the state needs to pay attention to this problem, these... children go to one the end, these are the other challenges that we identified, and which we hope will be heard by the state, not only by the ministry of education, but also by the ministry of social policy, and the ministry of youth and sports, the ministry of reintegration and other state authorities. ms. valentina, are there any statistics now? crimean applicants. who entered ukrainian universities since the beginning of the large-scale invasion, if compared to 2022, is this number increasing or vice versa? unfortunately, this figure, why was this monitoring done in the first place, and this survey, because we

saw that the entry of 2023 gave us a glaring. low indicators, and even in the 22nd year, 137 children from the temporarily occupied territory of the crimea entered, in the 23rd year only 86 children entered, and almost half, although the conditions were the same, yes, what in the 22nd year, what in i was already in the 23rd year full-scale war, and this is a technical question, please excuse me, i just have friends who want to enter ukrainian universities, but the question is whether they will be able to return later, for example, if they leave, return to crimea and work there with this diploma, do the russian occupiers not accept them? and i can tell you that

the russian federation has not yet taken certain steps. regarding the non-acceptance of ukrainian diplomas, the russian federation recognizes ukrainian diplomas, and theoretically they can return, in fact, i understand that a person who receives an education specifically in ukraine, well , he will not be favorably accepted there... for a job with a ukrainian diploma, which was obtained during a full-scale war, this is my assumption, this is my personal opinion. we understand that a ukrainian diploma is a prestigious diploma, because russian diplomas, for example, and diplomas issued in the territory of temporarily occupied crimea, they are simply not recognized, and nowhere simply,

that is exactly what i wanted to continue about, but when we did this survey of students, and there there was a question, what is your motivation, why are you entering ukrainian universities, and there... you can say that it is possible to determine, well , there are three such motivations, which have more than 70% of the answers that were given, and you know , it was very pleasant that the majority of motivation is a sense of civic identity, this is 71% of the answers, in second place is the prospect of... well , employment, life prospect, yes, life path, the opportunity to enter higher education institutions abroad , and this is another

71%, so that's why they choose ukrainian education, and this is true, because for students from the temporarily occupied... territories, and in particular from crimea, there are currently a lot of international study programs abroad at very well-known universities with grant support, well , we collected such information at the request of those with whom we we communicate with crimea, we passed on this information. in order for them to spread among the crimeans. and also, why, in my opinion, it is necessary, yes, to choose to study in

ukrainian universities, it is because you see that now we will have a lot of shortages of the personnel reserve after the deoccupation, very strongly, the head of the national advocacy direction of the almena center for civic education, i will remind for our... viewers, we continue to communicate, but i would like to ask all viewers who are currently watching this broadcast to subscribe to youtube channels of espresso, youtube channel atp and comment on this video, this is how youtube already works, if you do not do this, then no one will see us, and this important information about admission to ukrainian universities will also be seen by fewer people than maybe, also you can copy the link of this video and send it to yours. friends in crimea, only use safe messengers, we do not recommend telegram, we do not recommend viber, any other messengers, well, you know better which ones are safe, mrs.

valentina, are you still with us, yes with us, yes i am with you, great, ah, let's move on to another topic, i understand about the numbers you mentioned, that the number of schoolchildren who choose ukrainian universities is decreasing, for objective reasons, because... it is more difficult to leave, but there is another reason, this huge the russian propaganda machine, which is unfolding in crimea, and here we have a video of how the occupiers forced 35 children to march in the artek in the so-called immortal regiment this week, these children, this movement was led by artek veterans, participants in the war against ukraine zakhvatnytska, representatives of the investigative committee of russia, teams of schools from... regions of cadets of the black sea higher naval school named after nakhimov. well, we actually remember how the people of nakhimov sang the national anthem of ukraine

when the russians invaded crimea in 2014 and then these guys continued their service in naval forces of ukraine. well, that is, mrs. valentina, we see that this is simply the militarization of children's consciousness, but what should we do about it and why. shall we continue with this , when the deoccupation of the peninsula will already happen? you know, unlike you, i'm a person who, being the same age as those we've just seen in the video, was in the soviet union, yes, we also had a lot of events when... we were there they took us somewhere, they tried to throw something into our heads, but

in reality. children perceive it as such, you know, very strong coercion, and even when they are teenagers, the reaction can be the other way around, huh, but you can't underestimate the propaganda machine that is currently aimed at children in crimea and other occupied territories, what can be done about it in order to ... overcome somehow, we need to develop programs already today, well, let's call them rehabilitation programs, programs for restoring civic identity, but we need to prepare for this today, and we need to take certain steps for the state so that we already have... .

teachers were ready who would understand that the children who were in the temporarily occupied territory are actually victims of the occupation, and that what they can tell the teacher that ukraine is a nazi state and something like that, that it's just you know, a manifestation of a certain infection, i don't know how to say it, because i... i really don't want to say the word disease, well, it could be a teenage protest, we know that in fact children at such a ripe age can say very unpleasant things to their parents as well and teachers, and it is not necessarily connected with war and behave defiantly, everything is clear here, but i am actually inspired by what you said that in the soviet union, the children who

wore che... these handkerchiefs and who were taught that marxism, leninism, did not really believe in it, i i hope that in the century of the free internet, crimean children also have critical thinking and understand what is really happening, it is another matter that they sometimes cannot say about it publicly, simply because there will be problems both at school and with their parents, and in the future there may be problems with the career, we all... understand if you know, we communicate, well, it so happened that we communicated with students who were in the temporarily occupied territory for almost nine years, and you know what is inspiring that these students, who are now already in ukraine, are here in lviv there was a meeting, and they are very intelligent people, they are very

responsible for their mission, they understand that they need to go home, that they need to change, and they say that in reality everything is not as bad as it is depicted , but we need the state to take certain actions at the international level for to stop russia, well, you saw the date of the decision regarding the ban... teaching in the ukrainian language, unfortunately, unfortunately, the decision regarding the crimean tatar language was not so, well, unambiguous, and it seems to me that we need more to return to this issue, because well, in fact, we see that if the occupiers show certain figures, regarding access to the native

crimean. tatar language, they have hardly changed, in fact we understand that this is such a big potemkin village, you know, this is a very important topic that deserves a separate broadcast, and i hope that in our other broadcasts of the atr and espress tv channels, we will discuss this topic in more detail, the topic of the crimean tatar language and the ukrainian language, the suppression of these languages ​​on the territory of the temporarily occupied peninsula, thank you very much. the head of the national advocacy department of the almenda civic education center was with us on the air, we talked about education in crimea, more precisely about ukrainian education for residents of crimea, it is still available, still possible, and we believe that the best crimean schoolchildren are actually.
