said that i have information that he allegedly took a leave of absence, that is, this yuriy sodol asked for a leave of absence from the commander-in-chief and went to the graduation for his son, who received the first officer rank, a lieutenant in the academy at the odessa academy of ground forces, maybe you are right there the graduation season at the academy of the ground forces, well, the military academy, it’s called now, in fact , it’s even ending now, and this time from... it’s possible, but again, of course, that information about the specific names of the graduates, it’s closed, i don’t know not it came across that this is information, then, valery, i have one last question, and this other man, who is also standing with a sodol next to him, flatly claims that he has the nickname father, i don’t know if it is true or not, what it is known about him who, who he is, we don't know what kind of person he is, you don't know, maybe not, well, it's not some... person from

odessa, maybe it's someone, it is meant from the criminal bodies, but again, we still don't know what kind of person it is, the photo, unfortunately, is of such a quality that it is not so easy to establish. oleg, valery, i thank you very much, valery bolgan, editor-in-chief of intent odesa, we talked about what yuriy sodol could do in odessa, for which he awarded the mayor of the city gennady trukhanov, and oleg simoros, a veteran russian- of the ukrainian war, public activist and lawyer, olezha. good evening, i wish you good health, you know, we have such a history when the military, and this is understandable, they are afraid to say something about a high-ranking official, general yuriy sodol, because they are serving, it is much easier to say to veterans who they no longer belong to the service there in the literal sense, so tell me, what do you know about yuri sodol's reputation, well, what is known about his reputation, he proved himself in principle.

in the course of commanding the troops on rabotino , he showed himself, excuse me, as a man who in the 21st century, when there are already slaves, when there are drones, who still fights according to the principles of the scoop, excuse me, who fights with human resources, and it is our losses and our failures the actions were primarily due to his inability to properly use troops and very... many, unfortunately, lives the ukrainian military was put down precisely because of his completely inadequate actions through his assault local operations, which even had a few waves despite failure, and it was under his leadership that the losses were actually completely inadequate, it is known that this lieutenant general really does not count. with

human life, with the life of military personnel, and i absolutely support and share the indignation of both the ukrainian military and adequate ukrainian commanders, in particular the chief of staff of the special purpose brigade of the azov national guard, and so the most recent scandal, it is such a rubicon of what we, what we talked about, what we warned about. ukrainian veterans, volunteers, in principle, came out on the public stage when sodel from the marine corps was appointed as the commander of the united forces, it was very recently, it was at the beginning of this year, exactly like that, and we actually talked about all those things, we talked about robots, we talked about how much this person is not respected by the marines, and sorry, the marines... without exaggeration,

this is the elite of the armed forces of ukraine, where is this the concept of military honor, as a matter of fact, the symbol of the marine corps, no one but us talks a lot about this person, i say on this responsibility that he does not enjoy any authority in the marine corps, moreover, he is in the armed forces of ukraine, in particular then they are not respected in the marine corps, we talked about it all and called on the top management of the state not to appoint such a person. to such a responsible, high position as the commander of the united forces. now the situation has repeated itself, the situation has repeated itself in turkey, i, in particular, got in touch with my comrades, who now hold one of the directions, 11 flanks to turkey, they hold it quite successfully, and the enemy does not come there, but they had a rather difficult and inadequate situation, and it is still going on. they don't have... they are not equipped with shells,

in particular dorapirs, but i don't know if the general has any influence on the supply of shells, not that i am sodol's lawyer, but if , for example, he definitely has an influence, he definitely has an influence. because all applications, this provision is made through the commander, who sets relevant tasks, relevant requests already directly to the ministry of defense, and the situation is not that they had any restrictions on shells, shell starvation and so on, they were simply not provided with shells in a direction that is dangerous, and they were not pulled up reserves, because they heard my conversation yesterday, they had an assault... it lasted for the fifth day, and if it weren't just for the reserves that every unit has, the small reserves that are made for such a critical situation, well, there was b real trouble, and well that in principle the guys know how to work with artillery means and were with such a small

number of shells, there were direct impressions of the accumulation of enemy manpower, the direction you are talking about the turkish direction, this is the turkish direction and the situation is still there. not changed, huh, that is , the reserves are still not drawn up, where the guys are stormed, people who know how to work are still not provided, they are still not provided with shells, but the event that happened in odessa, well, listen, it’s already fantastic, i don’t know , what else is there to discuss, when in general the military is like this of the early general rank meet with a citizen of russia, with a pro-russian one. absolutely a politician, it’s you, it’s you about trukhanov, well, he denies that he has a russian passport, he denies, it’s just that it’s proven, it’s proven by the investigation of authoritative journalists, russian, russian database-registers, when they worked, you could check the ipm there,

yes, yes, i’m just, i’m talking about the fact that he was asked about this base, he said that he didn’t know how he ended up in that base, listen, this is the psychology of a criminal, criminals rarely admit their own... well, the same with trukhanov, he, listen, he is also involved in corruption, he does not admit his guilt and so on. but there is no doubt that ukrainian society, in principle, i emphasize ukrainian society itself, it is unambiguous, in my opinion, in trukhanov's assessments, and he is an unquestionably negative character towards the state, he is the person who brought war to ukraine, brought war to odessa , he is in principle a supporter of pro-russian forces, pro-russian ideology and... it is absolutely impossible to tolerate such a person, let alone hand military awards for which blood is shed. i have comrades who have been awarded this distinction, or before the appointment of mr. sodel, i simply do not understand how it is possible to level military distinctions, military

awards, give, excuse me, it is not simple, well, let’s omit trukhanov’s pro-russianness, but this is undoubtedly a key and important point , give it to a civilian person who holds civilian positions, you know, i'm trying to rise above the situation a little and consider different options, maybe we don't know something, maybe trukhanov did something that cannot be said now during martial law, well , hypothetically, i don’t know, trukhanov was burning in a tank, no, come on, they are not needed here, in my opinion, in my deep conviction, there is no need to play any kind of game here conspiracy theory, that we don't know something, and so on. well , listen, well, once again we are talking about such a person as mr. trukhanov, to whom absolutely everything is clear, who is a mire in corruption who is a figure in the criminal proceedings of the national anti-corruption bureau, yes, there are several cases against him and according to his deputies, it is true

that he has been noticed in corruption and, i'm sorry, has all the signs of treason in his activities of the 14th year, yes, this is my subjective assessment, but i think that the audience supports it. because, again, it wasn't somewhere there, it's not some ephemeral low-ranking official, it's the mayor of the regional center, it's a person whose pro-russianness is in the public domain, so i emphasize once again, everything is obvious to the trukhanovs, and we're all very fine we know such things that sodol did in odessa, this is simply absolute shame, but i want to return to sodol, look, but you mentioned that he was appointed. head, commander of the united forces of the armed forces of ukraine at the beginning of the 24th year. if he had so many complaints from the military. why was he appointed? how do you explain it? and now it seems that

all the possible grievances and claims that exist are just flying to sodol. he alone is the worst and the worst was appointed, is he not the only one there, well, just to understand the motivation. and why did they appoint... him, if there are so many claims against him, is it possible that there were no claims before, but now they have appeared, oh no, you know, a claim against whom, against whom, against whom, but there were claims against sodel, and they are reaching... already to this , that in principle they were public or semi-public, but precisely known to the command, in particular the armed forces of ukraine and the top leadership of the state, here is the story of the fact that, unfortunately, the ukrainian authorities went the way of appointing more convenient and dignified political, from a political point of view and her work with these comrades, and not because of their... professional quality, not because of their virtues and in particular because of their reputation in the armed forces of ukraine. a similar situation

was with the current commander of the territorial defense forces and so on. i will not say that i do not undertake to evaluate that it is a staff shortage. well, of course, speaking from the perspective of generality, there may not be many to choose from, but in my subjective opinion, there is an opportunity to give. a chance for progressive officers, senior officers, colonels, lieutenant colonels who have passed the way officers, they started in principle, some of them started a full-scale war from the junior officer ranks and went through the officer’s path in principle in the trenches, and we actually have someone to choose from, there are those people who are absolutely knowledgeable about military affairs, who know... on international advocacy, know a foreign language, and these people, on the contrary, need to be given

the opportunity to develop and to rejuvenate the army in all senses of the word, first of all in the approaches, in the visions of its development, really from those people who see the army according to high international standards nato, and not those people, again, with all my respect, but those people who graduated from the tsovkov school. therefore, there is someone to choose from, but here there are undoubtedly greater risks for the ukrainian authorities, that these people will be more independent, then these people will more conscientiously fulfill their duties and not follow suit in matters of power, in political issues, therefore, unfortunately, we have to state that the office of the president of ukraine followed the path of appointing more convenient people, their professionalism, their reputation in the army and so on further. oleg, we are now, we are just now showing the video when the draft law on mobilization was passed, neither syrskyi, nor umerov,

no one reported or spoke to the deputies, did not convince them why this draft law should be passed, it was sodol who spoke then , this is also such an important remark, it seems to me, well, certainly, but i will emphasize that with us, with the ukrainian military, with ukrainian veterans, in principle, there is communication from the ukrainian authorities regarding personnel appointments, it is there, it is absent. olezhe, in particular, i have the last one question, we only have literally one and a half minutes, look, we now see that bohdan krotevich, yes from azov, has applied to the security intelligence service with a statement about the general, the general's last name is not mentioned, but according to a number of media , including our data, it is yuri sodol , we understand that the legal assessment will take some time and it is not known how long. will this investigation continue and whether the sbi will eventually start it or not, or what should be, from

your point of view, a preliminary, perhaps, well, political assessment, you know, for politicians there is such a moment, political responsibility, assessment, when a decision is made before the law enforcement officers have made their decision, so who and what should be done here? the political assessment should be quite direct, because it seems that a sufficient number of servicemen and veterans have already spoken about this person, this is enough to suspend this... and appoint an official investigation within the troops, regarding the data that is available, that is certainly all should be the materials of criminal proceedings, only it should be a more comprehensive story, because we have, in particular, we have a very bad situation in the law enforcement system right now, and if we talk about the state bureau of investigation, excuse me, the head of the investigation of the state bureau of investigation, the deputy chairman, excuse me. is a figure in her anti-corruption investigation, it seems to me that they opened, i think they did not open

any case on him, but i am talking about the investigation of journalists, about the fact that, excuse me, a person, to put it mildly , is questions about the fact that she will comprehensively and impartially investigate criminal proceedings, it still needs to be paid attention to, including by the ukrainian authorities, if they want to establish the truth in this case, but without a doubt, as a ukrainian veteran, i so... also now understand that sodel should be removed from positions, so that, well, at least, it seems to me, our applications are enough. thank you very much, oleg, oleg simoroz, a veteran of the russian-ukrainian war, a public activist and a lawyer, we talked about general yury sodol, and about all this history that has developed around him, in including accusations and insults against him and also talked about the turkish direction. svoboda live will return to the air tomorrow, subscribe to the radio svoboda page on the internet until tomorrow. ukraine-belgium only

i am asking you to do so, because my mother's heart is breaking and the fact is that artem kholodny's parents are divorced and live separately, so it happened that when the war began, the boy was with his father in the city of kupyansk in the kharkiv region, on the third day of the full-scale invasion... the city was completely occupied, and later the connection was lost there. for almost six months, mrs. elena did not have any news about her son and only in september 2022 she received a short message from him in viber. it was september, around september 10-13, 22nd. let me remind you that on september 22, the soldiers of the ukrainian armed forces liberated kharkiv oblast from the occupiers, and it was during this period that mrs. elena's son got in touch. of course, the woman tried to call artyom, wrote him more than one message in response, but all attempts turned out to be useless, the connection with the child mysteriously broke off again

i congratulate you. so, we expect that the first receipt of these funds will be in fact at the beginning of july, do we know what bohdana will direct these funds to and how often we will see these tranches in the future? actually, now we already know about two amounts this year: the first and... as you said, there are already counted days until the beginning of july, and it should arrive at the beginning of july the amount of 1.4 billion euros, and another billion, as representatives of the european union say, should arrive for ukraine by the end of the year, and this is all the money, as decided by the leaders of europe. of the union in may, because at least 90% of them must go to weapons for ukraine, and they must go directly to

the purchase of... in particular, ammunition or other weapons, because previously from this special european aid fund for ukraine, the funds were mainly used for in order to compensate individual eu states for their costs of military aid to ukraine, therefore this is such a serious contribution and a new way, in fact a new source of financial support for the troops. aid to ukraine from the european union. bohdan, at the same time we know that hungary, well, in fact, was quite strongly opposed to such a decision of the european union, can budapest somehow influence the allocation of these funds in the future? yes, we know that hungary, in accordance with its very well-known position, we have reported about this before more than once, that the government

headed by orban refuses from the very beginning of the russian invasion of ukraine to provide aid for the defense of ukraine, and now hungary has also declared that it is against this decision of the eu, although the european union says that this time hungary cannot block this decision of the eu, because hungarians. representatives of this country did not participate in the creation of the fund from which these funds will be allocated, at least today the supreme representative of the european union for security and foreign policy, josep borel, sounded very confident. we have income from

frozen assets and we have to search. way of using them, avoiding any locking. we have a process in place to get this up and running quickly. the first tranche of money will arrive next week in july. so this money cannot be stopped, it has to be used and we have a legal procedure to avoid any blocking. bohdan, we also saw another decision today, it is also important, it is sanctions, a new round of sanctions. which would be introduced or rather approved in the european union, tell us more about them and how seriously price restrictions can harm russia now? so, we are talking about the so-called 14th set of sanctions of the european union in relation to russia, these sets are approved regularly, starting from the time when russia in 2014... annexed, seized

the ukrainian, crimean peninsula, in addition to these packages, so to speak, or sets, separate sanctions are also introduced, additional, but , as for this 14th set, it is called a feature that it is the first time that the european union is introducing steps to limit russia's ability to... export liquefied gas, this is very important, experts say that it is important because the main buyer of russian gas was still available europe, but after the invasion began, after the nord stream one and nord stream 2 pipelines were destroyed, and after europe effectively refused

to buy. russian gas, which used to come through pipelines, russia's profits from gas trade have fallen so seriously that the giant promising russian company gazprom is now unprofitable, gazprom is suffering billions in losses, and this is a serious blow to russia, so these sanctions are directed against liquefied gas for the first time. russia is trying to... now use other technologies to sell gas in liquefied form to third countries, in particular to asia, so in the end europeans also buy liquefied russian gas, but these sanctions in the 14th set are aimed precisely at preventing the transportation or resale of this liquefied gas.
