it's the 15th, and that means it's time for news, so we're giving the floor to our wonderful colleague anna eva melnyk, and we're asking you to share with us what you and the news editors managed to find out. greetings colleagues, the news editors will tell each other about the main things for this hour, in particular, how the ministry of foreign affairs of ukraine reacted to the fighting in the kursk region and to whom they are asking to exchange their russian prisoners. the operation in kurshchyna helps the ukrainian military at the front in ukraine - said the spokesman of the ministry of foreign affairs, heorhiy quiet. he noted that the battles are necessary in order to distract the russian forces from the offensive. in donetsk region, as well as to complicate

logistics for the occupiers. the ministry of foreign affairs of ukraine says that ukraine is achieving the relevant goals and will continue its offensive. unlike russia, ukraine does not need a foreigner. ukraine is not interested in taking the territory of the kursk region there, but we want to protect the lives of our people. they ask to exchange. the captured conscripts from the 488th regiment of the russian army appealed to the azov residents dictator vladimir putin. ukrainian defenders shared the video with the statement of the occupiers. the russians said that they were captured by the armed forces of ukraine in kursk oblast. in their opinion, if they are exchanged for fighters of the azov brigade, the negotiations will take place in priority order, and they will be able to return home. battles, combat actions in

the kursk region did not change the situation in the turkish direction of donetsk region. the enemy has already closely approached turetsk. and in the city itself there are sabotage and reconnaissance groups - said the press officer of the 32nd separate mechanized brigade oleksandr bordiyan on radio svoboda. fierce fighting continues in settlements that are close to turkey. it is about northern and iron. street fights are also taking place in new york city. shelling with the help of artillery and drops from drones, approximately the trend is maintained, regarding the assaults, yes, the intensity has dropped a little bit, no , it is, it is not, it is not very high , so, let's say, the delta, yes, that is, it has fallen not insignificantly, but they are trying to compensate this lack shelling of kabam in

kharkiv oblast continued from today curfew, it will be in effect from 5 p.m. to 9 a.m. in five districts of the region, the head of the military administration , oleg synigubov, said on edinye novyn. it refers to the districts closest to the front, namely izyumskyi, chohoivskyi, kharkivskyi, bogodukhivskyi and kupinskyi. these are more than two hundred settlements. such measures are called for. first of all, the security situation, it is also called for the activation of countermeasures against subversive and intelligence groups there, because we are constantly recording along the border, and of course, when our special services are working, they should also operate in conditions that are comfortable for them, and that is what this curfew is designed for. ukraine received another tranche from the european union in the amount of more than four. said prime minister

of ukraine denys shmyhal. funds were allocated within the limits of the previously approved program for kyiv for 50 billion. they will be directed to social programs and the humanitarian sphere. shmyhal reminded that since the beginning of the year, the eu has provided over 12 billion euros of budget support to ukraine. they brought silver and bronze, with loud applause and flowers the capital welcomed the participants of the 2020 olympic games. the four who returned home today are representatives of the ukrainian teams in kayaking, freestyle and greco-roman wrestling, weightlifting, synchronized swimming and fencing. lyudmila luzan, anastasia rybachok, parvis nasibov and iryna kolyadenko won silver at the olympics, while zhan beleniuk took bronze. each of us did a great job and behind each of us stood a great team of people who... gave us

their souls, helped us, supported us for to be able to adequately represent our country at the olympic games. you probably saw our crazy finish, how we... rowed in this boat, we felt support, probably all of ukraine was with us at that moment. prospective students still have a few days left to submit applications to higher educational institutions. ivan franko national university of lviv became the leader of the admissions campaign in ukraine this year. my colleagues found out what criteria students were guided by when choosing. close to home. this is sofia volchak, she - applicant from among other higher educational institutions, the girl chose ivan franko lviv national university. on september 1, she will become a student of the faculty of history. the girl shared what criteria she was guided by when choosing a place of study. and in fact, i also chose to be

close to home, so it was important for me to drive far, according to reviews. i knew that this university would be the most popular this year, and that's why i decided. enter there. according to information and educational resource education ua. lviv university - indeed the most popular among entrants. more than 32 applications were submitted for the undergraduate program alone. therefore, frankovy vysh surpassed last year's leaders: lviv polytechnic and shevchenko kyiv national university in terms of the number of applications. indeed, this year, the university is in the first place in terms of the number of applications admitted to the competition, traditionally we are in the top three. by the number of such applications every year, this indicates the quality of education at the university, that young people choose to study in ukraine despite the war, try to get a quality education, which will then give an opportunity to realize yourself in the future. the licensed volume of students that

lviv university can accept is more than 10,000. however, the first vice-rector, andriy hukalyuk, says the real figure is approximately 5-6 thousand. the most popular. the specialties here are english philology, law, psychology, computer science, international relations and economics. ivan pyvovarov, a future student of the faculty of journalism, says that he was guided by safety factors when choosing a higher educational institution. why ivan? franka, because it is one of the simplest universities in ukraine, i am from kharkiv myself, and i have been living in lviv for two years, and... lviv is a safe city, for now, one of the safest. the first vice-rector, andrii hukalyuk, assures that all safety conditions are in place at the university. shelters are equipped in each building and dormitories, and some faculties even have the opportunity to hold lectures in them during an air raid.

in particular, the faculty of journalism is also provided with such shelter. he is ready to accept more students this year than he anticipates license volume. this year , more than 1,900 applications were submitted to the faculty of journalism, we have a quota of 150 students, but we have decided that we will increase this volume, and we will recruit more, this is taking into account those students who will apply for part-time study and those who will apply for our new educational program, international journalism. the faculty is extremely popular at the university, since in lviv we are definitely the oldest of such large journalism studios, let's say, there is a television studio at the department of radio broadcasting and television, where students can try out the role of tv journalists, and a radio studio has recently been opened, where students have the opportunity to be in the shoes of radio presenters. enrollment of students for bachelor's programs in ukraine ended on august 10. you can still submit documents for the master's degree until

august 22. ema statnyk, volodymyr studenny, espresso tv channel. and the espresso tv channel and the charity fund. opened a fundraiser for the purchase of modern drones and electronic warfare systems for the third separate assault brigade of the 110th and 47th brigades of the ssu. defenders in the donetsk direction every day deter enemy attacks, defend our freedom and future. it was these soldiers who stood to the last and defended the avdiiv direction in the spring. the brigades urgently need flying weapons and modern means of countering enemy drones. our goal is uah 3.5 million. there are no small donations. join in before collection , you can see all the details on the screen and you can always read more about important things on our website espresso tv, because my colleagues work for you 24/7, also subscribe to our channels in social networks, support our youtube channel, and my

wonderful colleagues, oksana vysochanska and marta olyarnyk, will continue to work for you, stay with us. we return to you, our viewers, and continue to work live on the espresso tv channel. in the studio. marta oliarnyk, and now we will be joined by sofya fadyna, people's deputy of ukraine. with her, we will talk about the scandalous, in my opinion, history related to the teaching, however taftologically speaking, of the history of ukraine and world history in educational institutions of ukraine. and so such an initiative appeared with on the part of our minister of education, oksana lisovoy, in order to combine the study of the history of ukraine and world history, well, actually in society. we understand that this news was not received very clearly, and now there are ongoing discussions in social networks

about whether it is appropriate to do this, how it would be possible to do it correctly, and in general, whether this will not deprive our children of the opportunity to thoroughly study their history , if we show the history of ukraine in the context of world history, there are many questions that need answers and clarification, and most importantly, whether this innovation will affect the knowledge of the history of ukraine. young ukrainians, yes, who are currently studying their history, will this not deprive them of the opportunity to know their history well, and as a result to understand all the interrelationships, cause-and-effect relationships of why what is happening now, because it is the knowledge of history that allows avoid mistakes in the future. sofia fredina is already in touch with us. mrs. sofia, we congratulate you, good day, i congratulate you in return. well, she appeared an initiative by the minister of education. arsen lisovoy to combine school history of ukraine with world history. i have already explained a few words about this topic to our viewers, but

i would like to ask how this information was generally received in scientific circles, in particular, do they support or not support it and why? well, i can only comment from the context of my colleagues, in particular from the department of international relations and diplomatic service of the ivan franko university and my fellow deputies from... from the humanitarian and information policy committee, we we believe that this is total madness, and that in fact, in our realities today, it is not enough that this is not a priority issue, but on the contrary, this is a destructive position in order to weaken the potential defense capability of the ukrainian state, why, because precisely the understanding of all ukrainian state-building processes, the awareness of every stage and every figure of ukrainian history gives us... the opportunity to understand who we are fighting, how we are fighting, what kind of enemy, what challenges, what

problems our society faces in opposition, and in as a result, how can we win today or tomorrow. having united with world history, well, theoretically they explain that ukrainian history should be studied in a world context, but practice shows that such associations will destroy both the understanding of knowledge of world history and the understanding of knowledge of ukrainian history. not so with us. for a long time there was a struggle to increase the number of hours at the faculty of international relations, the history of international relations, it was reduced to the maximum, and as a result we have students who do not know when the first and second world wars began and ended, and i understand that now all these changes will lead to such and such deteriorations, because our ministry comes up with a lot of things, after all, like many other ministries, and who will implement it all, how it will be implemented in... realities, when people with elementary education rule, well, it gets out of the way of the ukrainians.

actually, about the implementation, ms. sofia, i read a discussion between people who are actually related to this field, to the teaching of history in ukrainian educational institutions, and part, maybe not even a part, but the majority say that no, this cannot be done, because it will completely remove the history of ukraine from the school curriculum, that children will not understand that it is all complicated. on the other hand, there is a group of people who say that in principle there is a similar scheme in western countries, in poland, in germany, when there is a study of the history of one's country with interspersed world history, actually, which is important for germans, poles, for a specific nation, in order to have such an understanding. in a word there are two camps, now you are talking about how to do it, actually, do we have a concept or not? there is a vision, whether it will be a completely mixed two courses, or in parallel, i do not

know, a lesson about the history of the history of ukraine of a specific period, a lesson of world history, whether it really should be seen as an option, when we study, our children will study the history of ukraine , against the background of historical events in other countries, in the whole world, with the interspersing of those very important moments that affect our history and in general. on what happened in the world over the centuries, if you allow me, i will quote just two sentences on the rationale of the ministry of education, why should it be so? first, introduction. material related to the anthropological concept of culture, values, guidelines of a certain period that mediated the behavior of people, this is the history of ukraine, connected with world history, it is called everything about everything and nothing in particular, this is one thing, and the other turns out to be the disadvantage of the modern school course, the way the history of ukraine is currently taught, is that

the scheme of the historical process, which is the basis of the educational material, is subordinate to one goals: moving towards the creation of an independent state, that is, it turns out to be bad that students will study the historical process through the state-building aspirations of the ukrainian people from ancient times to modern times, well, to be honest, these two things seem to me, well, what is the impression that someone from fesbists climbed into the ministry of education and washed the minsky minister and his activists, because if we now destroy the state-building project. approach to understanding ukrainian history, we are destroying ukraine as such, because if ukrainian children they will not understand why we need a ukrainian state, so there will be nothing to fight for. and you mentioned that some people think that it is normal that such processes of unification of history exist in germany, in france, and in other countries. first, none of these countries is at

war with the moscow federation, none of these countries has a border with the moscow federation. and the third point: if we mention poland, then they put polish history at the level of state policy, there the number of popular magazines dealing with the history of poland is off the charts, they have historical topics are everywhere, after all, the problems we have with poland in the context of historical memory, they are also inspired at the state level, but they know their history well, they know every comma, every dot and even more, they want to separate our children from creation . from the awareness of ukrainian history, and who prevents us from following the path of the poles, to make history itself one of the most important elements of school education, so that we, ukrainians, know our history, understand the role of ukrainians in the world, understand what we were like over the centuries, as well well, like the poles and

they were proud of this, of course, i will say for a boy's mind, they didn't fit in power, i ask... if half of the verkhovna rada does not have a higher education and awareness of what they should do in the ukrainian state as people's deputies, if we have a president , a person who has a nominal legal education, in the history of ukraine does not understand a word at all, if the official greetings of the army, if the march of the new army, if the rebels are strangers to the leadership of our state, well, just like many military personnel, well then why study history, sorry, people chose this rea'. ness, but i really hope that the majority of ukrainians are ready to defend their rights, know their history and raise their children properly. i believe that, on the contrary, it is necessary not to reduce, not to shorten the hours of studying the history of ukraine. by the way, this is also a derivative problem. the world hours are being shortened, the hours of ukrainian history are being shortened, now they will be combined, and as a result, no one

will know anything, but it is necessary to increase the hours, make interesting courses, help. to teachers and salary and resource, so that these courses to adapt to modern realities, and not to publish textbooks, this is already a nascent government, where some of the most important historical events are generally omitted from the textbook on the history of ukraine. i have the impression that they are returning from the time of tabachnyk, i would really hate to associate them with the ministry of education of a state that is waging war, but it looks like that. mrs. sofia, don't you think that these are all... beautiful for arguments, it's all in order to trivially explain the lack of money, in order to pay our teachers with a salary for their work, because by combining two subjects, by reducing academic hours, the state will actually save state money, but it found an opportunity to save thanks to this decision, and you know,

there is a very interesting situation in that they offer the opposite to... additional courses and content accents in the educational program, we will not have a normal history of ukraine, but we should have territorial and demographic changes, ecological history, social catastrophes, everyday history and micro-history, women's history, eco -ecides, epidemics, so they offer instead of the history of ukraine in a normal plan, here are all these things to enter, well, someone has to read it all, accordingly, there is probably money for these things, maybe they are trying to get them... through grants, but you know, i think at this stage it is necessary it is simply to stop, it is necessary to cancel this order of the minister and stop the destruction, the study of a whole stratum of ukrainian history. because, as my colleague volodymyr yatrovych very rightly said, the principle that should apply now is that if it is working, do not interfere and

do not interfere, now this process is going on, worse, better, but it is moving, if you don’t know how to make it even better, more efficient, more qualitative and more interesting for children, well, don’t move like that, don’t cancel what is at all, if we don’t teach history, then you can cancel school altogether, well perhaps the servants of the people would like to do this, mrs. sofia, we understand that there are... some people who have already started collecting signatures to withdraw this initiative and prevent the merging of two courses into one, even with a reduction hours, at what stage is the process in general with these changes, is it still possible roll back now, is it possible to influence the number of hours to be, if not the same as before, or more, then something can be done about it, what is happening in this area now, we understand? that these innovations will not be implemented from september 1, this is also the issue of textbooks, the first, most important thing is publicity, as soon as a problem in our country

gains publicity and citizens indicate their indifference to one or another problem, they are all solved, everything can be changed, and in the end even today can perform the president of ukraine and say that what the minister of education signed is total nonsense, and it should be returned as it was, all this can be done, and i am sure that if there are... signatures are collected, if there is publicity in society, the active position of teachers, in particular teachers, we can solve the issue, but from another point of view, i think that we have a more global problem, we had a terrible problem with entrants, and we, as our faction of european solidarity, had a meeting with the minister and his deputies , in particular with foreign experts, they are very are often guided by some, you know , ideas that i... can call projectism, they have come up with something, that it will be in the european plan, who will implement it, how it will be implemented in ukrainian realities, who will have all

the influence , it is not calculated, it is not invented, in our realities, on the contrary, it creates additional difficulties for students and pupils and completely destroys the entire educational process, so i would like the minister, his deputy, his team, they would at least try... not to take harmful steps, on the other hand, well, mine personal opinion, after the plagiarism of the minister of education was discovered, well, this minister should not be in his position, what can we teach children, students, my students ask me that the minister copied, why can't we use artificial intelligence or wikipedia, and how should i explain to them that this is not normal, i certainly explain, but as long as the minister remains in his position, it means that all educational processes are leveled. had a previous minister of education plagiarized and received unfortunately and the second of the same, ms. sofia, finally wanted to ask about the law banning the russian church, zelensky in one of

his addresses announced a decision that would strengthen spiritual independence, many are now thinking about what the president can give instructions to his people's deputies before independence day , after all, to make this decision and actually present it as a huge victory, timed to the day of independence, well... all the laurels of this decision will be appropriated to themselves, but we understand that hundreds of people were behind this process, including deputies opposition to the authorities, and actually they were the initiators of the adoption of this law. in short, don't you have such an unpleasant sediment about this and the feeling that the efforts and total efforts of many people will be attributed to one person, and this will be presented as a huge victory until the day of ukraine's independence. once alone. a wise person said that our victory is the victory of our ideas, if the president of ukraine forces his faction to vote on this draft law and it enters into force, it will be

our victory, so no one will be here to tell that we fought, and you accepted, accepted, in fact, it is critically necessary to accept it, frankly, i would also like him to not just pledge his faction, but in the end, at the level of the national security council, he has the right to discuss and make a decision that the russian orthodox church in... ukraine is recognized as a terrorist organization. it seems to me that the security service of ukraine has absolutely enough evidence for this. and this would be an additional reason to ban the activities of the russian orthodox church and its affiliated structures on the territory of the ukrainian state. the third point, as of now what we have in the deputies' chats, in the discussion, no, they are in no hurry to put the bill to a vote. so we, as a faction with other colleagues from other factions, are preparing to... for further blocking, this must be the first bill with which we open a new session and it must be passed, if they are not going to pass it, we will apply all

available methods are possible, and they say that this is... perhaps not so timely that there are higher priority european or nato bills, we believe that this the bill is not timely, it is overdue, it should have been adopted at least two years ago, and it is a matter of national security, to get rid of the fsb moles that creep into the souls of ukrainian citizens. thank you, sofya fodyna, people's deputy of ukraine, was in direct contact with our studio, they talked about the initiative of the minister of education oksana lisovoy to combine the school history of ukraine with world history, and... she also discussed the decision announced by zelenskyi, which should strengthen spiritual independence, it is said rather after all, about the draft law that should ban the activities of the russian church in ukraine. now we are going for a short break, after it we will talk about the situation in the lymansky direction, stay with espresso, in just a few minutes, we will get back to you. tired of clutter in the kitchen, constantly
