due to the russian offensive. therefore, the ukrainian authorities turned to colleagues from the north atlantic alliance and the united states, with a request to help with the training of 150,000 soldiers. the united states refused the request, but the nato leadership considers the deployment of its instructors inevitable. memories of deportation. the war museum held a discussion on the 80s, the forced eviction by the soviet authorities crimean tatar people. as part of the event , a symbolic photo project was also presented, which tells about the success of nine crimean tatars. among them is the representative of the president of ukraine. in crimea tamila tasheva, actor and director akhtem seytablaev, human rights defender gulnara baikirovova and others. we invited historians and specialists to the museum to talk about how

the national collective memory of the ukrainian tatars, who were scattered in exile, was preserved, and how they preserved it even in some kind of material culture, in language, in... religion and were able to bring all this to crimea, and now, in principle, even during the occupation , they are trying to continue this tradition. our task, returning to the victims. e-e of genocide and famine and famine in order for people to realize that without evaluating the past, without realizing why and how it happened, most importantly, why it happened, if you don't realize it, you can't cope with the present and tomorrow. to find out more interesting and up-to-date information, follow the updates on our website espresso.tv, as well as on our social networks. further on you my colleagues lesya vakulyuk and andriy saichuk will be waiting on the air, we will see you at 10 o'clock.

friends, we are back on the air, we will continue our marathon, les vakulyuk, andriy saichuk, we are working in this studio for you until 12 o'clock, good morning to all those who... are already watching us and good morning to all those who have just joined us . now there will be important information for you. yesterday, you and i collected 53 uah. uah 53 plus to the collection that the espresso tv channel is conducting so that our soldiers from the 93rd separate of the kholodny yar mechanized brigade quad bikes, and they need these quad bikes for this... what you see on the screens now is the evacuation of a wounded soldier from the battlefield, and the quad bikes help to do

it quickly, and you understand that time is very important , when there is an injury, it is important to save either a limb or a life. so, dear friends, please join in with your hryvnia, your donations. in addition, these atvs will do another good, important job, they will deliver ammunition to the battlefield, so two... jobs in to one, if you donate, you are doing two good things at once, you now see two qr codes on your screens, on top is the monobank qr code, below it is the monobank card number, and below is the card number and the privat qr code. privat, you know that you need to scan using it if you have the privat-24 application, go to this application, open the scanner function and hover over this black and white square at the bottom. 24 is indicated in the circle, this is privat 24 itself,

and the card number is also indicated, during ether we will also show both the qr code and the number cards, and thank you to all those who participate, we have already crossed the half-million mark with you, and some 403 thousand, 42, 43,000 separate us from having 600 00 hryvnias, i hope that this week let's get closer to the skill mark. maybe not the whole million, well, but there are 800-900 thousand, if we don't collect it, it would be incredible. i can see that the pace is slowing down from monday, but i hope that just on monday, everyone who wanted to donate heard the announcement and started sending their funds. on monday we collected together with you 79 thousand. for yesterday, i will remind 53, but i hope that this day, perhaps, will even out a little this fall and... and the amount will not be less, listen, yesterday was the day of vyshyvanka and, but you know, due to different time periods

actually, we have some , for example, people there with their selfies arrived a little later, for example, at 8:00 p.m. kyiv time, justin trudeau, the prime minister, of course, of canada, made himself known in an embroidered shirt, and here together, well, that is, actually in the parliament of canada, together with other members of parliament, ukrainian or not only. of ukrainian origin, so it seems to me, well, there are those of different origins, yes, yes, but here you see beautiful embroidered women from very different regions with ukrainian flags and in ukrainian, justin trudeau in the center, young. by the way, i want to say that probably for the first time since 2019, i do not have a personal complaint against volodymyr zelenskyi and mrs. zelenska, who just as usual congratulated ukrainians in vyshyvankas on vyshyvanka day, because well, there is really nothing to complain about, beautiful vyshyvankas, they so modern, modernized, not quite

traditional, but beautiful vyshyvanka, and you can actually say to many that look, this is how a vyshyvanka should look, and on the contrary, you can say that not everything that is embroidered is a ukrainian vyshyvanka, at least, because sometimes yesterday this was watched by a parade of some kind of smock and amazing robes and whatever happened, you know, well, but i trace, by the way, such a good trend, even the presidential couple demonstrates that ukrainians bit by bit, bit by bit, since the tradition with vyshyvankas, again because there was russia interrupted, and... it was not fashionable to wear vyshyvanka, and it was also not very safe, little by little now ukrainians are actually digging into those roots and are already beginning to understand what a real vyshyvanka is, and what is just to embroider something, and with such an alleged with a hint that it is supposedly embroidered, and now more and more ukrainians want to have such authentic embroidered shirts, they are looking for some old ones,

or they are restoring old patterns. eh, and this is a wonderful trend, dear friends, even in the conditions in which we are, ukrainians are still looking to find themselves, not to finding oneself, and perhaps there are still such movements in sumy oblast, now we will ask ms. andriana kostenko, doctor of political sciences, head of the center for social research, member of the board of the non-governmental organization sumy oblast intelligence, joins us, despite such complex, difficult, disturbing news on sumyshchyna, mrs. andriana, how was yesterday in sumyshchyna and how is this morning, how was the night? yes, in fact, an air alert has been announced in the sumy region and explosions have been recorded in the sumy region and other communities, other regions border unfortunately, the enemy continues

to fire directly at those settlements located in... near the country of terrorists, they fire grenade launchers, mortars, artillery, they attack with drones, they attack with others, they drop explosives through drones, there are even direct cases of sniper battles, yes, in particular , in those settlements bordering the aggressor country, the aggressor for... last day , official sources had information that about 10 settlements of territorial communities were affected, it is said traditionally, on unfortunately, we are talking about the bilopol community, the shalygen community, the seredinobutsk community, in fact, if you look at the geography of those territorial communities that are suffering, then these are

all the territorial communities along the border from the north to the south of ours. oblast, in fact, we have the longest border, and along this entire border, a kind of gray zone is being created, where it is no longer possible to live directly in those settlements, where the central estates of territorial communities are constantly under fire, and you already know that that the number of settlements from which people are forced to leave is increasing, it is even about such large ones... therefore , unfortunately, we cannot observe an improvement and some stabilization of the security situation in sumy region. mr. budanov, head of gur in an interview with the new york times said that russia may launch

a new offensive in the sumy region, whether this news is being discussed in the sumy region, what is the mood, ms. andriano. well, look, it’s worth sharing what the head of the band says, because i don’t think so. that actually certain public statements are objective information, we understand that certain statements can be made by officials to fulfill certain tasks, state tasks, well, for example, acceleration. if the application is aimed at a western audience, it is possible to speed up the supply of weapons, perhaps, somewhere , attention will be returned, attention will be attracted. attention to the security situation in ukraine, maybe stimulation from that society, western society in the subject of support, so if

we talk about such an expert environment that works in sumy oblast, then we are enough calm down, yes, experts, scientists, media, yes, they took such statements quite calmly, realizing that... in fact , you can push back, you can push back the front, and the border, unfortunately, yes, if we are guided by international law, we are not a border can move away, and if we are directly approaching, then during this entire period of a full-scale invasion, in fact, we will constantly be, the sumy region will constantly be in danger, and therefore a certain part of society, which knows how to... the situation, quite calmly accepted these statements, understanding what the purpose of these statements could be, if we talk about social networks as a whole, how

the discussion took place among the residents, of course a certain concern grew, but i want to say that those who left , in principle, they have already, they have already left, yes, there are people left who have made a certain... decision to stay and defend their region, who understand that they can benefit their region, although, of course, this is very, very negative affects the psycho-emotional state of these people, because literally after this statement they talked about the fact that there were massive calls from relatives who were abroad, people started to discuss, worry and so on, so it seems to me that the media... should spread this information a little more objectively, again, if we go back to the first source, well, it wasn't quite like that, there was

a message, that's what was said about one of the scenarios, we understand that this scenario is possible, because in the conditions of war, any scenario is possible, any scenario certainly possible, and the big question will be, in fact, how are the bullets in this war? will be completed, so simply now we must understand that people who live, for example, in sumy region, or somewhere in the kharkiv region, it will be more difficult for them, probably for more than one year, than, for example, for those who live there , i don’t know, somewhere in transcarpathia, and there must be some economic preferences in order to attract even a domestic investor, domestic workers, in order for the economy to be the same... these frontline areas, because they are now will not just be on the border, but rather on the front lines, because we, well, i don't know, even, even from the korean conflict, from the war in korea, we know that those shellings,

they continued for decades, and even now, from time to time, this tension again arises, so here is a big question for the future, but one that probably needs to be considered now as well, how to make these regions not just border areas, not just... bastions, but also economically independent. mrs. andriyan, and a long period of time, a long period of time sumy region, a few sentences literally, the sumy region was logistically very tied to russia and business, in particular, when it comes to large business, logistical routes were laid through this very country, this neighbor, a large number of people work. and relatives and so on, and this rethinking began to happen from the 14th year, and from the 22nd year, to me, rationally

, people understood that you really need to review your business, actually reorient the business, and probably change your attitude towards the country of the aggressor, also finally, i will ask you personally about the logistics of ukrzalizna. appointed an additional kyiv-suma train, or how popular is it, ms. andriano? well, i will say that this is actually a train that passes through such hot spots in the sumy region, directly vorozhba and bilopil, so if we talk about this function of evacuating the population, then directly people can very quickly, quickly, relatively safely.. to get to kyiv, to get further to their relatives, to the regions of central ukraine. therefore, it is very important, important such

a combination, precisely from the point. from a humanitarian point of view mission, yes, but a very big question, or rather, people who leave sumy, from sumy directly, ask themselves, yes, is it worth moving by this train, therefore, it is in demand in the event that evacuation from these hot points from bilopolska hromada and vorozhbyansk hromad, partly they leave from konotop, that is, already beyond... beyond these communities, of course, but this is the only, the only one, in fact, the only connection between the regional center and kyiv, i mean, through the train of course i would like people, if they buy tickets for this train, then, for example, to come to kyiv and, i don't know, walk around and see the capital, but, but we live in difficult times, and travel now has a different purpose, ms.

andriano , we hope that... that they will then return to their usual, usual destination, and ukrainians will travel through ukraine to get to know it. sumyshchyna is extremely beautiful, there are many such historical cities and buildings left there, and we hope that they will remain. thank you to you for the conversation, it was andriana kostenko, doctor of political sciences, head of the social research center and member of the board of the non-governmental organization intellect of sumy region, they were talking about the sumy region. and about what the mood is there, how people perceive the news, messages, in particular from kirill budanov, the head of the gur, that the russians may start an offensive on sumy oblast. now we are going to take a short break, dear friends, we will return, we will continue, we will talk with konstantin denisov, the spokesman of the legion of freedom, in the meantime, thank you, we have added 9 00 to our compilations, don't stop at anyone who can
