, we literally got back to normal very quickly and there are no complications, we hope that we will go home tomorrow. in addition to straws another operation was performed in the center on the same day. one girl from chernihiv region, who has the same diagnosis, she is also already packing her things home, it is very good, even if i say so myself, then if it would take a very long time, first of all, and even buy such devices, then that's it, that's it b for a very long time, and it is very convenient that quickly and so timely, well, the girls' illnesses were discovered by doctors thanks to the cardiology care program. children from the affected territories, which was launched back in march 2022, the field team of the center went to the de-occupied corners of ukraine and examined children who had experienced stress and could not get to kyiv on their own. we understood that children

cannot get to us, that is, there are doctors, they are here, yes, our children, they are there somewhere, but they do not even undergo examinations there, they do not undergo medical examinations. well, well, and then we decided that since the children can't get to us, then we will go to the children. if a team of cardiologists detected a heart defect, they invited the child's family to their center in the capital. there, up to the age of 18, they are treated as well are operated completely free of charge, now we with this program also travel when necessary, for example, to mykolaiv, zaporizhzhia, to donbas, we came a lot, probably once every two to three months, we go to donbas and even next week we are also going to go, to examine children, because they are children there, and they should be examined, because it is better to detect quadruple in a timely manner. in order to be able to treat her properly so that this child will be healthy in the future.

center for children's cardiology and cardiac surgery ranks first in europe in terms of the complexity of the operations performed there. free consultations and operative intervention are a guarantee that the child's heart will beat for a long time and confidently. tetyana golonova, yulia belska, espresso tv channel. and the espresso tv channel. invites you to join the project from zero to life, this is a collection of atvs for the rapid evacuation of the wounded and the delivery of ammunition. support the soldiers of the 93rd separate mechanized brigade kholodny yar with a donation. they choose victory every day, do not leave on the battlefield wounded and dead. so for evacuation , atvs are indispensable helpers, and they also allow you to move as quickly as possible off-road, which helps efficient work. your. support significantly increases the chances of the citizens of kholodnoyariv not only to successfully perform combat missions, but also to return from

are creating the history of our country in this difficult time, we say. we talk about sociology, we talk about the growth of society and what our people, our citizens, ukrainians, think about completely different events and actually different directions of development of our country, we also talk about ukraine, we also talk about the capital of our country, kyiv. anton hrushetskyi, executive director of kyiv international, is in our studio today institute of sociology. mr. anton, we are glad to welcome you, good day, and we are having a difficult time now, and of course, all this affects sociology, it all affects the way sociological surveys are conducted, how much they change, and in general, on growth society, during the actual great

war, how much did such a concept as sociological surveys change? how much more difficult has it become to interview people and understand this segment of society? well, you know, you raise an important question, because it is from the beginning of a large-scale invasion, ukraine shows that ukrainian citizens have fairly good indicators on various issues, this includes a certain cohesion, national identity, readiness for opera, but one of the lines of discrediting ukraine, by our enemies, is an attempt to show that our polls are complex and not representative, you are right , that the survey now about... will be much more difficult, a large part of the territories is occupied, there are certain issues of people's safety, many people have left, but at the same time, after the beginning of the invasion, we conducted various experiments that show that it is now possible to conduct polls in ukraine and obtain high-quality results that truly represent the opinion of the population of ukrainians living in the territories under the control of the government of ukraine. we also conduct telephone surveys, we conduct surveys by the method

of personal interviews, we see that people answer sincerely, and by the way, even one of our latest surveys, which according to... shows that honestly 5% of citizens share a pro-russian view to war, once again show that even such marginal extremist thoughts, people aren't afraid to speak up, so survey data is useful and it's important to show it because it's definitely more representative data than, say, your facebook bubble or your twitter bubble, but for example, do you survey people who are overseas, as far as i'm concerned i read just yesterday the information that one of your latest surveys you also... conducted among those people who are displaced persons abroad, who are in the territory of the european union, is that so? yes, that's exactly how, in fact, to conduct a survey among these citizens of ukraine. impossible, but quite difficult, so now most polls are conducted only in the territories under the control of the government of ukraine. on separate topics, we do conduct surveys of ukrainian refugees abroad, but they are

more complex, and so it's usually a not -so-pure experience, but it's illustrative enough, like the surveys you mentioned, which show that actually many ukrainian citizens, unfortunately, takes root in another society, where they are now, and ukraine has a high risk of losing a big one number of citizens, and this will further deepen our demographic problems. and it is different, for example, a survey conducted in kyiv, the capital of our country, and, for example, somewhere, conditionally, in other cities, or in principle, conditionally speaking, people think the same way, and the methodology is applied similarly. the methodology is basically the same, that is , it is either a telephone interview, and it is a resident of kyiv, lviv, odesa, kharkiv and kherson, respectively, who answers the questions of the questionnaire over the phone, if it is personal interview, according to you... you talk with the interviewer personally, they also answer you. different cities have, of course, their own specifics, because in front-line cities the security issue is much more acute than in rear-line

cities or cities such as kyiv. but on the other hand , we are now observing the unification of different regions, and in fact, after the large-scale invasion, we see a decrease in regional differences like never before, and the conditional resident of kyiv in his social and political fields is becoming much closer to lviv, kharkiv, odessa and kherson did you just remember? we mentioned the survey of people who are abroad, that is, people who, unfortunately, have been forced to leave our country, do their views differ from those of people who did not leave, who permanently live in the territory, relatively speaking, of our state. you know, we get the impression so far, both our polls and other polls, that there is no strong difference, that is, it is our citizens who have similar views to those who remain in ukraine, but the main difference is that... significant part of residents abroad really take root in new places and they become part of a new society, and we have seen such an alarming trend that a third of them even answer that they do not follow

news from ukraine, that is, they definitely receive certain news about ukraine, but this is not the same immersion in everyday life that we have, they have children, they grow up, go to a new school, there is a different system of education, medicine and so on, ukraine for them is conditionally as such an international context, and accordingly they they answer a lot of questions, but this is a feeling... superficial, unfortunately, not like what we have here with you, how many people, maybe you conducted such a survey, are still going to return to ukraine, how many people has already taken root, as you absolutely rightly said, how many people are hesitating, you have approximately the following data, we have now conducted surveys in the czech republic, poland, germany, and we can say that about half of the people are those who rather still consider the option of returning to ukraine, that is, there are about half who rather follow this... intensive path of rooting, about half are those who maintain closer ties with ukraine and are ready to return. it must be understood that immediately after leaving the country, about 20% of citizens

are actually those who will not return. we must be honest, many ukrainians wanted to go abroad, and this is an invasion, it created certain conditions, the other part lost everything in ukraine, they could leave the occupation, they could lose relatives and friends, and therefore accordingly, there is nowhere to return. many people want to return, but the main question is the war, the duration of the war and... under what conditions they will return, because the main condition for return is a sense of security. you and i understand that when you live in kyiv, you get used to the current conditions, and it seems to you that conditional life in kyiv is safe, but for a person who has lived all this time, conditionally in poland or germany, even the current situation in kyiv is not so safe, and the criteria for safety are a bar very tall, quite standing. if we mentioned, again in this block about displaced persons, how much these people are under... under russian propaganda abroad, maybe this is the data from some of your surveys, and you could also analyze it here? you know, my personal

observation, according to our data, according to the data of my colleagues, is that they are not so swayed by russian propaganda, they definitely, of course , distance themselves from ukraine in their issues, but they do not become conditionally pro-russian ukrainians, there is one problem that in tiktok, u on twitter, on facebook we can see vivid videos with some ukrainian... citizens who may behave inappropriately, but it should be understood that these are not representative examples. we have a big problem now that many people tend to draw conclusions about public opinion from comments on twitter, for example, or on facebook, but we as sociologists will say that often these comments are generated either by such an aggressive minority or by bots, and they are not representative, our surveys show that the majority ukrainians are much more moderate, ukrainian citizens abroad too, they are not pro-russian, or... ukrainian, many of them integrate for everyday reasons, but many are loyal ukrainians who continue ties with ukraine and help as they can ukraine. another very interesting

survey that was not... recently conducted by the kyiv international institute of sociology, it concerns the five-year term of office of volodymyr zelenskyi, the president of ukraine. here, mr. anton, there are some general trends, some conclusions, maybe you can to do, regarding this thorough survey that you conducted regarding zelenskyi's presidency itself regarding people's disappointments, or vice versa, support, regarding execution. promises or, on the contrary , non-fulfillment, there are some general conclusions, general trends already over these 5 years, according to your sociological surveys, you know, we conducted the survey just in mid-may at the end of the five years of zelenskyi's presidency, i want to immediately note that according to our polls, despite different attitudes towards the president, absolute the majority of ukrainians, that is from 70 to 80%, claim that he remains the legitimate head of the state and

are directly against holding elections. that is, again, we can criticize the president, we can disagree with something, but ukrainians believe that the number one priority is victory in the war, and then the holding of elections, but the important question is how people evaluate the five-year plan the presidency of volodymyr zelenskyi, and you know, here the question is whether the glass is half full or half empty, it's how who will look, in fact there is a real decrease in trust to the president, in the 19th year he was trusted by almost 90%, now it is about 60%, especially the decrease was in the last six months, but 60... this is the majority of the population. the majority of ukrainians still trust the president, but the majority of ukrainians absolutely say that he has not fulfilled his promises. at the same time, when we asked why he did not fulfill his promises, a minority of ukrainians blamed the president himself, say, for inexperience or for corruption, mainly placing the responsibility on his entourage, but there is a certain tendency that currently the situation for the president is quite good from the point of view of public sentiment, the majority of ukrainians still trust him, but there is a downward trend, and it requires especially certain

personnel. because people are still throwing spears when there will be a transfer of negativity from the entourage of the president himself there, and there is some connection between the entourage is not working enough, but the time will come, in the direction of his entourage, saying that it is because in our country there is a legal the martial law regime, and actually this support or not support or demands for the presidential vertical, that is, it is possible to connect what we have now'. the state and the data you are talking about, let's say if there was no martial law, then in your opinion , there would be similar data, or would the demands still increase to the presidential vertical? well , you know, before the beginning of the large-scale invasion in february 22, the president was trusted by a little more than 30% of citizens, and the majority did not, that is, a significant increase in trust took place precisely against the background of the large-scale invasion and he was perceived as a real wartime leader, people were fascinated by him boldly and in principle now

they say that he really is. works well enough in the international arena, as a representative of ukraine and to strengthen the ukrainian coalition in the west, but as soon as the war would end, if we had a time of peace, then of course the agenda would change, and accordingly the demands of the people would increase and become much more strict, now people can, for example, tolerate certain cases of corruption, certain cases of incompetence, explaining it by the fact that it is not worth rocking the boats, we published results where the majority of ukrainians are in favor of criticizing the government, of course, but i believe that it should be within... structural frameworks so as not to destabilize the situation in the country, if there will be a time of peace, then accordingly there will be harsher criticism, greater demands, especially in the social and economic sphere, and in the sphere of transparency and the fight against corruption and democracy. you have already touched on the question of what can be criticized and what cannot be criticized. if it is more detailed, there were some questions that you asked, very, relatively speaking, detailed, very, linguistically speaking,

such as... narrow spheres, where you can still criticize the government, where you can still to tell the authorities about any mistakes and where it is not possible. we did not conduct special surveys, but contextually we see from our various studies of communication with people, here rather the question is whether such criticism shakes the situation and undermines the country's defense capability, or whether it contributes to solving the problem, because if you find an issue related to corruption in the ministry of defense or there in the ministry of education or another ministry, but which can be removed and... improve the defense capability, people support it, if it is criticism conditionally there is a woman and a haprot, which will simply destroy and tell that the president, for example, is illegitimate, that our government is problematic, that the verkhovna rada should be dissolved, people will perceive it as, you know, an attack on the country's defense capability and will oppose it, we even have a question of the law there is something specific about the mobilization, on the one hand, many people are worried, and this is reflected in tsik-tok videos, comments, complaints and so on, but in fact the majority...
