school, buying stationery, clothes, shoes and other necessary things, the prices of which are increasing every year, and 20, 2024 is no exception. our film crew went to the markets of the white church in the kyiv region to find out how much it will cost to send a child to school. notebooks, pens, diaries and school uniforms, every year parents carry out the traditional purchase of various goods before the first of september, their cost can vary significantly depending on the brand, material and store, but the price tags definitely do not stand still, for example, this year backpacks can be purchased from uah 700, a hardcover diary will cost from uah 80, but paperback is cheaper - 40-50, but one notebook with 48 pages will cost uah 17, but it can vary, taking into account the picture on it, and if it is colored, then... and if you take

this type of notebook , they are also a scythe, a line, cell, they cost uah 5 for 12. colored covers for notebooks cost uah 37 per package, but much less, pens from three and up to uah 30, and a simple pencil up to uah 10. in addition to school supplies, most of the costs are clothes and shoes, and here the price tag bites, because the simplest school uniform can be bought from uah 1,500. here the range is wide and varies depending on the material of the manufacturer, as well as the style, skirt, pants, blouse or shirt. similar sports suits for schoolchildren are priced from uah 1,000 to uah 1,600, additional for shoes will have to pay approximately the same amount, as the mother of the sixth-grader ms. alyona says, a lot of money was spent on preparation this year. we spent somewhere up to 10,000,

but we haven't bought everything yet, and since the girl is growing fast, we need a lot of changeable clothes and shoes, the main costs are going to this. school shoes. the issue is not cheap either, it starts from uah 600, so olena's mother assures and says that they are her second-graders, most of them have already managed to buy, plus or minus 1.5 - that's for sure, somewhere like that, did they buy everything before school , well, there are almost shoes left and there's a couple of stationery, a diary and a couple of pens, and we haven't bought them yet, and that's pretty much everything, except for the standard school uniform, they also started choosing embroidered shirts and dresses. combining them with a modern style, but according to the saleswoman , in this case, people prefer cheaper options. mostly children are now in the fourth or fifth grade, so this year 8, 9, 10 year olds come, the older girls already,

apparently, order more via the internet, not many come, but they do come, and they mostly take, well, so budget , if for a boy, then... from 450 to 700 uah, if for a girl from 500 to 750 uah. but the mother of the eighth-grader , mrs. svitlana, bought everything she needed for three months of the summer, she shares, this year he is going to a new school, because they recently moved to white church from luhansk region, well , it was about the office at first, well, only one briefcase. he doesn't really want to go, that's why the briefcase, a backpack for the boy was very expensive, and the stationery cost up to a thousand, we have

an average budget, well somewhere up to 3x, so, if we sum up, this year the schoolboy's collection cost his parents no less than six. hryvnias, but i repeat, everything is individual, so the amounts can vary, both in one direction and in the other. lyubov gerashchenko, oleksandr kuga, espresso, bila tserkva. and we have a new collection, we need funds for drones and a charging station for the reconnaissance of the third regiment of the ssso, which is destroying the enemy in the area of ​​chasovoy yar in donetsk region. the russians constantly attack and try to capture the city, because it is a commanding height from which it is easier. shoot other settlements. our defenders are holding the defense, but they need our help. soldiers need drones they will help not only to improve the performance of combat tasks, but also to save the lives of our soldiers. so your donation will increase the effectiveness of actions against

the enemy. our goal is uah 890,000. remember, your help is very important. so join in, all details. on the screen, i am ending the issue here, my colleagues will tell you more, stay with us, hundreds of thousands of square meters of damaged property, apartments, houses that need to be rebuilt, about the situation with reconstruction in different regions of ukraine, about the rights, opportunities and personal experience of people . such olga's house was last year, and this is what it looks like now. i am not spending money at the moment. however, how to unite the country in the process of recovery in the project of the

urban reconstruction and development program. every saturday at 18:30 at espresso. hundreds of thousands of square meters of damaged property, apartments, houses that need to be rebuilt. about the situation with recovery in different regions of ukraine, about people's rights, opportunities and personal experience. this is what olga's house looked like last year, and this is what it looks like now. about how to unite the country in the process of recovery in the project program reconstruction and development of cities every saturday at 18:30 at espresso. sobotnyi politklub is live on the espresso tv channel, and today we are returning to our traditional format. andriy smoliy in the studio, vitaly

portnikov. he is now joining us using skype technology. mr. vitaly, good evening. congratulations, mr. andriy. greetings, dear viewers. so, for two hours today, vitaly portnikov and i will analyze, talk, discuss, and discuss what happened. during the current week, what concerns the whole country, that important for the whole country, and what will certainly happen in the coming days, and of course we will traditionally start with the security block, from the security direction, because it is perhaps the most important for our country, well, for example, from the latest news discussed by the whole society, this... and the actual destruction of the first board of the f-16 and

the actual resignation of the supreme commander-in-chief volodymyr zelenskyi , the head of the air force, mr. oleshchuk, and all these things, of course, many people connect them , including the statements of maryana bezogloi. sir vitaly, what do you think? these changes, how would you assess society's reaction to it, and why this reaction is often quite violent, quite contradictory, and why to some extent it creates a split in the unity of ukrainian society. i think that this is most importantly related to the fact

that we do not have a certain trust in opaque actions, as you understand it. this is a real problem that is worth talking about. and i, in principle, believe that we should follow the path of those states that such critical moments create transparency for the decisions of the highest political and military leadership. well, what do i have to... i have before my eyes the experience of israel, which won many wars, in many wars there were serious problems before this victory, and always the parliament, i will remind you that israel is a parliamentary state, created special commission, from people who were respected by society, from people who were trusted to investigate the actions of the political and military leadership at this, i would say, critical moment for the country. and according to the consequences of these decisions of these commissions, personnel decisions were adopted, and

the decision on the political responsibility of many important people for israeli politics, for the israeli state. of course, i will not say that this should be done during wars, but perhaps there is a certain form of interaction at such a moment, i keep reminding you that we live in a parliamentary world. presidential republic, the functions of the president, even if he is the supreme commander of the armed forces, let him be responsible for defense and foreign policy, they are limited enough, according to our constitution, the deputies should have the right at least to be aware of the logic of the president's decisions, the deputies could create commissions either in the parliament or from people outside the parliament, but such as they usually have. access to classified information that would investigate certain critical incidents.

we do not know to what extent the resignation of the commander of the air force of ukraine is related to the f-16 crash. we don't know what happened at all, but it needs an investigation. according to the results of this investigation , a decision could be made regarding responsibility and commanding himself. or his subordinate, if such liability exists. we have never heard clear explanations from the president of ukraine as to why he makes certain personnel decisions. although this is logical in a state, even more so in a state that is fighting for its very existence. well, when the commander-in-chief of the armed forces of ukraine, valery zaluzhnyi, was retiring, there was no clear explanation of why this happened, because all the talk about rotation, they do not look convincing in this situation in which you and i find ourselves.

we need efficiency and not rotation, efficiency must be supported by some clear considerations, as to what from'. it happens, well, in principle, after the resignation, and before this resignation, there were a lot of conversations about why it happened at all, right? there were talks about the fact that this is related to the political situation, that the president's office is afraid of popularity, the chairman, that he enjoys popularity with much greater authority than the president of ukraine himself, and this is of course terrible, if society discusses it at all, that's why that it believes that for the president of ukraine and... for his closest circle, the issue of preserving power is much more important than the issue of preserving the country, who needs it for such thoughts to prevail in society at all. now regarding the resignation of the commander of the air forces, well, if the president simply signs the decree, and people do not know the reasons for it, one way or another they

start to create their own versions, for the plane, for what went wrong with maryana bezugla. for having some involvement in the military leadership that was formed during the time of zaluzhny, and all this certainly does not help mutual understanding between the government and society, i repeat once again, in the midst of a war, it is not just some situation that the war ends or begins there, i would say the height of the war, no one in ukraine does not even know the year when we will get out of the war, which means that we will have to live for a very long time in such a state when... public trust in the authorities is needed, and in order for this trust to be preserved, because of course the lack of such trust helps, helps, as we understand, those who today is trying to destroy our state, of course, in such a situation, this is a very, very alarming symptom. mr. vitaly, how would you evaluate

the statements of people's deputy mariyana bezugla, it's just like this in our country... the situation is that in fact, very often at first mariyana bezugla comes out with certain accusations or disclosures of insider information, and then we we can see whether it was the release of these people, or whether it was a wave of such hate in some mass media, in some, including telegram channels, but in fact with mr. olyschuk, very similar situation, bezugla's statement, then heated discussion, allegedly, again, before any official investigation was made public, of information about the alleged, again, f-16 downing, i'll remind you that bezugla said that it there was a beating by the patriot system,

but that’s according to the words, officially we did not receive such information, and then actually from... do people’s deputies have the right to take such information into the public space, and does it de facto undermine trust to the armed forces of ukraine and to in fact, the top military leadership of our country. well, i repeat once again, the only cure for this situation is transparency, if you and i are completely uninformed about some important moments in ours. this will be used by those who will try to hype this situation. transparency is a more important condition for a state's survival in war. i do not mean, as you understand, the disclosure of secret information, but the authority of the armed forces of ukraine must rest on the sincerity of communication with those people whom the armed forces of ukraine protect. we can't to be untouched zones. government, armed forces,

economic leadership of the country. all this should be transparent until the moment when it is spoken. about secret information, and this is a very important point that you and i should always remember when we talk about what is happening and will happen in ukraine during these difficult years of the russian-ukrainian war. another topic that we wanted to discuss in our security block is, of course , the offensive of the occupiers on pokrovsk or the pokrovsk direction, so there we... see selidove, there we see pokrovsk, in fact the so-called pokrovsk agglomeration, and this is what is now also the subject of more discussion. among ukrainian society, among experts and among the military. on the other hand, this offensive of the russians is often compared with, or an analogy is drawn with,

what is happening now in the kursk region of the russian federation. to what extent do you currently assess the russians’ possible ability or desire to push in this direction, and why... putin nevertheless decided not to pay attention to the offensive of the armed forces of ukraine in kursk oblast, and relatively speaking, to press those directions in which they have opportunities in the territory of donetsk, luhansk, kharkiv oblasts? well, it seems to me that you and i talked at the beginning of this whole situation, andriy. i told you that i don't see any signs that... russia will abandon the offensive in donetsk region, luhansk region and kharkiv region, in order to liberate the territory of the kurdish region from

ukrainian troops. it was absolutely obvious to me from day one. i have always characterized the kurdish operation as primarily a political moment, as a moment that brings the war into the territory of the russian federation itself, thus making the war a war, if you will, because it is a very important moment when the war. even if it will take place for several more years in a row, and this is absolutely real, the promising development of the situation is more promising than the end of the war in the coming years, if it will take place on the territory of both states, because the war of attrition of ukraine must be a war of attrition in parallel russia, only if it is a mutual war on exhaustion of two states and peoples, at least a ghost will appear so that parts of the elite and parts of the population in russia will think about the need to end this war, at least on this line of conflict. where the troops of the warring countries will be at the time of its end, there is no other possibility of the end of this war in nature, and therefore i believed that the fact that the ukrainian troops moved

to the so-called sovereign territory of the russian federation, that they control this territory, that that they imposed on russia yet one front of this war, this is an important political moment, especially since this political moment also showed the so-called red line of the west, it showed that western countries are absolutely now calm about the possibility... of using their armed, their, their weapons on the sovereign territory of the russian federation, that they have no claims against the ukrainian troops who use these weapons, this is also very important for me, i would say, an instructive moment, as you understand, but at the same time it does not even occur to me it occurred to me that putin would withdraw troops from the donetsk front, transferring it to kursk, because we must look at this situation through the eyes of putin and his... generals, through the eyes of putin, the war is generally taking place on the territory of the russian federation, because both donetsk and luhansk , both kherson and zaporizhia regions have long been annexed

by russia, they have been mentioned together with crimea as subjects of the russian federation in the russian constitution for two years, and from the point of view of russian constitutional law, they are no different from the kurdish region. what would it is necessary to transfer troops from russian donetsk region to russian kurdistan, if you look at it through putin's eyes, of course. even such thoughts could not arise, and i think that if someone in kyiv had such hopes at all, then he still does not realize how the russian leader thinks, because volodymyr zelensky can think in terms of his own state, he is fighting for territorial integrity and the sovereignty of his own state, but the person who fights against him thinks in terms of empire, for vladimir putin and for millions of his compatriots, their own state is the soviet union, and ukraine is only... a formation on the territory of this state, so to speak, a pus for the purposes of russia, which must be destroyed for the sake of the further prosperity of russian statehood, and that is exactly how they

treat it and will be treated, i do not think that the russians' point of view of what ukraine is like in the next ten years will undergo sensitive changes, i have always convinced that there is no need to even try to change this point of view, we need to fight back, and not change russia and russians, this is the first moment, the second moment, point of view... even from a military-tactical point of view, to transfer troops from this territory, where the battles are successful for russia, to the territory where the ukrainians can now control only a small piece of the kurdish region, this means stopping their own operation, thus falling into the trap of the ukrainian raid on kurshchyna, well, it could be assumed that the russians are capable of this, but then again, if they had political considerations, if they believed that they were there. on ukrainian territory, here they are fighting on russian territory, but because of such political ones there are no reasons, then it was immediately clear that they will first try to deal

with the donetsk region, and... and then think about kursk, how this prince should look, when it turns out that the ukrainian troops on a certain bridgehead will succeed in stopping the russian troops in donetsk , in the direction of kharkiv, and the russians will understand that they will not break through any further, that they have stopped and that they now have to hold this contact line and maybe prepare for a new offensive there, i don't know, that's why in the 25th... in the 26th, it's hard for me to say this, then they will transfer part of the forces of the donetsk direction to the kurdish one, in order to try to recapture this territory. by the way, i hope that by then some other territories of the russian federation will be under the control of ukrainian troops, the more we create such problems for the russians, the better for us, but this will be in this sequence, like no other, and we can expect

, for example, that... that russia, putin, the kremlin leadership, will carry out some minimal mobilization in the fall, or at least in the next few months, or whatever will form some brigades or battalions with the help of covert mobilization, and will throw them, for example, on this, in fact, a small piece of the kursk region, or will they prioritize on... in your opinion, politically, again, as a priority the same donetsk region. well, they can proceed from the same reasoning, from which, say, they proceed in kyiv. when president zelenskyi says that kurshchyna is the end for putin, that everything began with kursk and will end with kursk, then he expresses his reasoning, which, well, it is purely theoretical, but it has the right to life, let's say, a raid of...

ukrainian troops on the territory of the kurt region, it can so, so reduce putin's authority, and indeed putin's rating has fallen, not significantly, but it has fallen, that this will lead to the fact that his regime will not be able to hold out, and thus the very nature of the war will change politically, but putin may think that if he manages to break through the front, capture donetsk region there, open the roads to the dnipro and zaporizhzhia, then thus he will contribute the collapse of the ukrainian state itself. why liberate the kurshchyna, recruit some additional troops, as you say, and so on, when you can simply destroy the enemy state and it will leave the kurshchyna by itself, because it will not exist. putin needs the capitulation of ukraine, what does it matter to him when this capitulation will take place and how many ukrainian troops will be on the territory of the russian federation, if the ukrainian army itself ceases to exist, well, these troops will simply lay down their arms, as they laid down their arms, let's say german troops are there on the territory. there are

czechoslovakia already after may 9, 8-9 , 1945, well, that's all, they were there on the territory of a foreign state, controlled prague, but when it became clear that their army in germany ceased to exist, they were also forced to vacate this territory, there it is absolutely simple, i would say, such an instinct, and putin can share it, he can come from exactly such a point of view when he thinks about the attack on donetsk region, this is the first, and the second, these are still such boyish concepts, he .. year gave an order to his troops to, so to speak, restore territorial control the integrity of this donetsk people's republic invented in the kremlin. and 2.5 years have passed since andrii, and no one is restoring any territorial integrity. well, in this situation, i apologize, it would be very strange to expect that it will change for the better if putin now transfers some part of his troops to the liberation of kurdistan, well, of course not, he

needs to show that he is really here... for what he started this so-called svo here, it continues to be carried out, that he continues to act, so to speak, according to the plan, at this very time, at this very time, well kurshchyna can wait, he announced a counter-terrorist operation there, he rebuked those who failed to adequately protect the border, and all this is also not bad, by the way, because you and i are talking about additional troops, but these additional troops are needed not only for , to liberate the territory of the kurt region, which is currently under the control of the ukrainians. military, and you need to have them in order to protect the entire perimeter of the border, the belgorod, kursk, and bryansk regions of the russian federation with ukraine. there were no significant troops there until now, right? there were already troops there, which were even equipped with conscripts, who, in principle , should not serve in the combat zone. so, now it is necessary to approach this situation in a completely different way. in the current week.
