but the main slogan of the government is that it is necessary for ukrainians to feel that they are welcome here in estonia, and i can confidently say that ukrainians in estonia definitely feel that they are welcome in this country, since my daughter already has been living in the territory of the republic of estonia for more than two years, she is studying there and she knows how estonians think, how estonians... are trying to do everything to bring our common victory over the russian aggressor closer. now a little about the victory: in estonia, apart from of course, women and children, there are many men who have received, it is not you, temporary shelter, temporary protection, it is called, as far as i understand, in estonia. tell me, please, now in many, at least in eastern european countries, they are talking about the fact that they somehow ... cooperate with

the government of ukraine with regard to men who are subject to conscription into the army and who are under military obligation in order to somehow help this men, well, at least register in ukraine with the relevant authorities, and maybe even return to ukraine, or is there something similar in estonia? yes... such discussions, such requests began to arrive some time ago, but our previous prime minister said that since people live on the territory of estonia legally, we granted them temporary permits for residence and temporary protection. and we do not

plan to send them back to ukraine, because we have rules, we have obligations, and this also comes from european legislation, that is, we have no plans to send them back to ukraine, however, in this sense we cooperate with ukrainian authorities, with ukrainian embassy in tallinn, and we understand that there are needs in ukraine, but i think that many ukrainians living in ukraine, they want to return to their country, they are waiting for such a conspiracy, for opportunities, for return, this was one of the reasons why did we start the reconstruction so early so that people could see... to

make it easier for people to return, we usually cooperate with the ukrainian authorities to understand how we can help the ukrainians, but as i say, we are not going to send them back , if they don't they want, of course, madam ambassador, one more question, and the question can be asked from ukrainian students studying in estonia, recently, well, literally a month or two ago, there was information that, for example, in lithuania they are going to or have already passed a law, according to which benefits will be taken away from ukrainian students studying under the exchange program, are they going to do something like that in estonia or not? we have ukrainian

students who have been studying in estonian universities for many years, even before the full-scale war began. and there is we have many ukrainian students and we are proud of them because they are very smart, they are very eager to learn, and so far i have not had any information about the government's plans. terminate assistance for programs that are currently active. therefore, ukrainian students should calm down, everything will be fine, thanks, of course, to our brothers and sisters in estonia. now, let's once again return to the topic of war, unfortunately, and talk about red lines, there is a lot of talk about these red lines in the west, for some they are there, for others they are. clearly

outlined, for some they are very unclear, but for estonia, in this war, in our joint war, i will call it that in our joint war with the russian aggressor... are there any red lines? this is my favorite question, thanks for it. estonia has never talked about any red lines, for us the most important thing, one of the most important things, is integrity. we want this in estonia in our country, and this is what we like very much in ukraine, and we do not see any red lines when

it comes to russia's brutal war against of ukraine, all the war crimes and genocide they committed. we believe that there cannot be any red lines here, and our goal is to preserve ukrainian independence, democracy, territorial integrity, so we support ukraine in everything we can to... so that it can achieve these goals, and accordingly, we do not see any red lines here as such, the government has already said in many cases that we are ready to discuss any

possibility of helping ukrainians, and the most important thing is to help ukraine win this war, then we are ready. discuss any solutions, ways, but since we are a small country, we understand that we need to cooperate with other countries, move together, then it will be easier to discuss these issues with our partners, and we are ready to be a pioneer. in one or another decision, therefore our red line, if i can call it that, or blue-yellow line, is precisely to help ukraine win this war. just great words, it's not a red line, it's a yellow-blue line, and it's to help

ukraine win this war of aggression, it's simply, simply incredible, i thank you very much for this, and look, in estonia itself. i understand that you are now trying your best to help us win this war, but in estonia are they not considering, i will not say so, are they preparing, i will say directly, are they preparing in estonia for a possible attack by russia now, because they talked about it a lot at the beginning of the invasion of ukraine 2.5 years ago, but are they talking about it now in estonia? when we became an independent state in the early 1990s, we were always very cautious our neighbor and we had no illusions

that russia had no plans. about the invasion, and we always talked about a possible threat from russia in nato and in the eu, we warned other countries about this, so we have been preparing for self-defense for a long time since the early 90s, that is why we wanted to acquire eu membership, and we wanted to join nato. step by step to this, and every year we increased our spending on defense, on defense and called on other nato countries to do this, to defend ourselves and individually

and jointly, collectively, so yes, we are preparing and continue to prepare, i can’t say that... that we started thinking about it or preparing only after the 14th year, when russia occupied part of ukraine, or after the start of the full headquarters . during the war, we did something step by step every day to protect ourselves from - from this evil, and we must always prepare and defend ourselves against this evil, because this evil is not foreseen, this evil can attack in any wave, i witnessed it, we were in february 2022, so it is necessary constantly get ready, let's say two more words about ordinary estonians, your country is small, but as far as i know, different people live in different... parts, of course, what is the attitude

of estonians after 2.5 years of a full-scale invasion of ukraine, towards support of your ukrainian government and to what is happening in ukraine. why am i asking because, as far as i know, in the north-east of estonia, in the narva region, there are a lot of russian-speaking citizens of estonia living there, do they support all the actions of your estonian government in support of ukraine? so many years in we have a russian-speaking minority living in estonia, we have been trying to integrate them into estonian society for almost 30 years, and of course we see that there is a certain contingent of people who do not want this integration. they still look more

towards russia, but estonia, estonian society and the government of estonia, of course we support ukraine, and further it is not even a question of reducing such aid, i think that since the war has been going on for more than 2.5 years. and the brutality of putin's regime increases every day, and so do we are ready to help ukraine in the long term, not only for victory, but also for further recovery, so the support is increasing, i can say, and if you look at... the non-governmental organizations of ordinary citizens who help ukraine,

we see that every month, or even weekly support comes from ordinary estonians who collect or provide humanitarian aid, but just yesterday i read that three estonian non-governmental organizations, which... ukraine for more than 2.5 years, again sent a new convoy to ukraine aid, and there were medical products, and drones, and military, aid for the front, for the army, for rescuers. they help, and the aid continues to come and even increases in

volume, because, as i said, this admiration for ukraine is very big in estonia, and every day we are shocked by the brutality of putin's regime, that he continues this brutality, and of course our support will not... decrease, it will only increase, well, this is mutual admiration, i must tell you, we admire estonians for their support and help to ukraine since the very the beginning, because in some countries they are trying to find some things to justify the fact that they do not want to help, and we admire the estonians, who have helped and supported us since the first day of the war, madam ambassador, thank you very much for visiting today i have the last question for you: you have been in ukraine for a year, i understand that you have a busy schedule, you came to us after an important meeting, i mean for an interview, and

you have a lot of such meetings, but do you have do you have time, or have you had time this year, to travel a little bit travel through ukraine, do you have a favorite place in ukraine? oh, definitely, when i came to ukraine, a year ago, i told my colleagues that i am... in ukraine, not in kyiv, which means that i have to travel a lot and see how local communities live, i have to communicate with people , and... so i was in kharkiv, in odesa, in rivne, in zhytomyr, of course, this is our partner, a partner region, and i was in many corners of ukraine, and i think that it is important to demonstrate to local communities that we support them , and we are not

afraid to come to them, come to these territories, because we understand. what are they facing every day, these attacks, shelling, alarms, and it is important for me to demonstrate that i am here, i am ready to provide adequate information to my capital, so that they can decide that more help is needed in this direction or in another direction , i really love your country, it is very beautiful, very wonderful. every day i see more and more, surprisingly very beautiful things, and i really like the resilience of ukrainians, and by the way, i was also on the front line, at the beginning of march, i said that i needed

talk to the soldiers, see what 's going on at the...front, and it was during those difficult times when foreign aid started to kind of decrease, or to be delayed, and i said then that i needed to get this feedback from the front , so that i can take this information to tallinn so that they can make the necessary decisions about what exactly is needed, so i will ... and i will continue to travel, now i want to focus more on those areas that are facing more than everyone with energy crisis, and to understand what is specifically needed for these regions, so of course i will travel as much as i can, traveling, madam ambassador,

for that we thank her, and we thank her for all the help and support we receive from the government of estonia and from ordinary estonians, who... from the very beginning began to help us defend our country, our independence, our sovereignty and our territorial integrity. madam ambassador, i thank you very, very much for joining this conversation today, pass on my thanks to all citizens of your country for everything you do for us. it was an interview with the ambassador of the republic of estonia to ukraine annelia kolk, who came to us a year ago already. a lot has been done in this position. espresso interviews will continue. my name is yuriy fizar. before meeting. new week on espresso. weekly summary information and analytical program. a clear understanding of the key events of the past

week. analysis of the causes and consequences of these events from experts. forecasts of the development of the current situation. the opportunity to ask your own questions and join the discussion, spend the final monday evening with us and confidently step into the new week, the new week project with khrystyna yatskiv and andriy smolii every monday at 8:00 p.m. on espresso. see this week in the collaborators program. family betrayal, how a family from kherson sold themselves for positions. our act, a meaningful act, is absolutely decisive. but who? from ukrainian bloggers became a fake minister of culture. greetings, i'm olena kononenko, and this is the collaborator's program about traitors who went to serve at the call of their hearts and wallets rashish occupiers. our today's issue is about those who in the temporarily occupied territories are blindly guided by the orders of the kremlin and vainly think that punishment will be avoided. he was a failed streamer on youtube, and

became the russian minister of culture. a year ago, we already made our choice of carrier. regions with russia, and now we confirm our choice: we are together, we are united, we will win, this is artem oleksiyovych lagoisky , born in 1991, originally from the kherson region. he graduated from kherson state university, worked a teacher at the department of economics at kherson university, he was the head of the educational and methodological laboratory, and over time artem left teaching and started blogging, created the good games youtube channel with reviews of video games. he took a pseudonym, well, a very eloquent bully, i wonder if this is how he himself sees himself, or was he often told about it, in russia, ukraine, belarus and a number of other countries. this is all our common great motherland. artemko did not want to be a cattleman for a long time, so he went into business from streaming. in 2019, he became

a co-founder of the company bula stroy, which engaged in the organization of construction. when a full-scale war broke out in ukraine, lagoisky fully justified his nickname. under the leadership of the russians, a former youtuber nicknamed "bydlo" began to take care of cultural issues in the region. in 2000, in the 22nd year, he became acting first deputy of the so-called minister of culture of the kherson region. our history continues, it's just that, unfortunately, our region had a certain period when history was changed, history was twisted, but the current history is not forgotten. as deputy, this cultural connoisseur took care of the philharmonic, libraries and museums in the occupied part of kherson region, as well as issues of so-called true history. a fable about what a great country russia is. when ukrainian troops liberated kherson, artemko fled to the left bank of the dnieper. once again, he proved his loyalty to the occupiers and received

a promotion in the form of a new chair, acting as the fake minister of culture of the kherson region. everything happens transparently, comfortably, and most importantly - safely. how about the minister of culture, lagoisky removes ukrainian literature from libraries, controls. to teach the history that is beneficial to the kremlin in schools, in every possible way imposes poor russian culture on the local people. in addition to this, he was also made the head of the regional branch of the assembly of the peoples of russia. it was created on the initiative of the president as a platform for dialogue between society and executive authorities. such industrious work of the rashists did not go unnoticed by our law enforcement agencies. on the 17th. in august 2023, the security service of ukraine informed lagoisky about the suspicion of collaborative activity, he faces up to 10 years in prison. now the case

is in the kherson city court, so we are waiting for artemko's streams to play during the convoy. and this is lagoisky's deputy in the so -called ministry of culture of the kherson region, kosenko larisa anatolna, she is 55. dear compatriots, the kherson region for the first time in... as part of the russian federation elects the president of the russian federation, chooses the future of our children, ours with you. before becoming a zombified kremlin mouthpiece, larisa tried to build a political career in kherson. in 2020, she ran for the kherson city council of the now-banned volodymyr salda bloc party and fortunately did not pass. after that, she headed the kherson city department of culture and the archive of the kherson district state administration. when the russian army occupied the city in 2022, kosenka decided to cross out everything that connected her with ukraine and start working for the invaders.

according to media reports, kosenko called cultural workers in kherson and called to go to work for the russians, but she was not seen in the public field until recently. in that year alone, 50 million books were purchased, which reached the libraries operating on the left bank. 110 libraries. in this video, the traitor talks about the success of the campaign to remove ukrainian literature from the libraries of the occupied left bank and replace them with so-called russian classics. this is how diligently kosenka is practicing his new position. now she is the deputy minister of culture of the kherson region. in general, her betrayal is this family, because for now larisa is just waiting for her suspicion, for her husband, a well-known collaborator serhiy cherevka on... our fimida has already waited before the judge. the feeling of patriotism, the feeling of love for the native land, and now unites both soldiers on the battlefield and people

who help restore the economy and social sphere of new regions in the rear. serhiy, 49, comes from kherson. he devoted almost his entire life to politics. since 1998, he has regularly run for office. he tried in 1998 and 2002. to get into the kherson city council, in 2015 he became deputy mayor of kherson and concurrently headed the regional organization of the kherson party. then he tweeted in ukrainian and took care of the education of children who moved from the territories temporarily occupied in the 14th year. there really is a problem of accommodation and provision of modern educational opportunities for children who came to us from luhansk and donetsk regions. but later he forgot his native language, and... he began to call the occupied territories part of the great russian empire. in 2017, charavko left the post of mayor and in the 19th, he ran for the verkhovna rada from

the "opposition bloc" party. but does not pass. in 2020, charavko ran for the kherson city council and failed again. i was lucky to sit down only in the chair of the deputy of the ship district council of the city of kherson. in his position , he took care of the demographic problems of the region and the mass migration of ukrainians abroad. the situation is catastrophic. in ukraine, for example, the birth rate has decreased by 40% over the last 10 years. for cheravko. the killing and torture of ukrainians, the occupation of cities and villages became not a pain, but an opportunity, which he happily took advantage. our act, a meaningful act, definitely determines how we will build, with whom we will build our future. when the region was occupied, cherevko joyfully went out to the russian soldiers on the main square of kherson with red flags of the ussr. at first, this traitor is together with

gaulaiter volodymyro. romsaldo participated in the creation of the so-called rescue committee for peace and order, the purpose of which was cooperation with the occupation authorities and russia. the invaders appreciated and gave such fruitful work of the seller to him the post of deputy of the military civil administration of the region in the illegally created occupation body. russia is the motherland. people feel their personal involvement in the creation of history. we see how massively citizens are drawn to the election. when gerson was released, the traitor fled to the left-bank part of the region with another similar fertilizer, which enabled our law enforcement agencies to search his apartment. the sbi found there documents and reports on how the russian pension system was created during the occupation and the work of the post office was improved. to this pile of symbols of the russian federation and the scenario of events for victory day and russia day. it's a pity that there was no script until the day of defeat and disappeared.

not to the empire, although we are now writing it ourselves. on october 19, 2022, by decree of the president of ukraine, cheravko was placed on the nsdc sanctions list, at the end of last year he was accused of collaborating . currently, the case has already been referred to the kherson city court. we hope that soon this traitor, like his wife-collaborator, will sit behind bars greetings, and they will see each other very soon. it was the program collaborators and i, olena kona. if you want to tell us about kremlin conspirators, write to us at this e-mail address or simply on facebook, together we will send all the traitors after the russian ship. see you in a week on espresso. we are looking for 17-year-old anna abazina, who

disappeared at the beginning of the full-scale war in the city of severo-donetsk, luhansk region. the russians captured this settlement in the first days of the invasion. hanna was only 14 years old then. during all this time, there was no news about the girl, but i really hope that thanks to your concern, the child will be found. please look carefully at the photo and try to remember what hanna looks like. she has an oval face, straight dark hair and kari'. eyes, of course, in this photo, the girl is much younger than her 17 years, but i don't think that this will prevent her from being recognized. if someone suddenly sees anna abazina or at least knows something about her possible whereabouts, do not hesitate and dial from any the mobile operator's short number of the magnolia child tracing service is 11630. calls are free, if you suddenly cannot call, write to the chatbot of the

child tracing service in telegram. i also want to remind you that we are looking for six-year-old sashko hrytsenko. i have already told the story of this boy from the temporarily occupied territory of luhansk region in previous programs. the child was abandoned by his mother, and now sashka is trying to find his father, who is in an uncontrolled part of ukraine. we talked with the husband and now i will tell all the details of this frankly shocking story. so, when the full-scale war began, little sashko lived with his mother and his husband's grandmother in the city of lysychansk. this territory was occupied almost from the first days. at the beginning of last year, the child's mother left home and left her.
