and the choice of ukraine after the revolution without accepting dignity on the way to europe russia started armed aggression against ukraine well, i was one of the last passengers of the donetsk airport in general in history, we flew there when donetsk was already captured, we filmed in donetsk itself at the moment of the capture, all these years we were in the epicenter to inform ukrainians about the most important thing, we were the way we are now during the war, before it became a master, that's why expresso during the war, as far as i'm concerned, did not change in any way the worldview of the absolute we prepared our audience for the fact that it was supposed to happen on february 24. it was a matter of time because we were attacked for the fact of our existence for no other reason, simply because we are, of course, a full-scale invasion made adjustments to our work, the broadcast was partially moved to lviv, here

viewers saw new programs, new faces and already familiar ones in new roles, for example, news anchor vitaly bakumenko, who himself left irpen near kyiv in the first days of the war, now shows what war crimes russia is committing not only in his hometown, but also in all corners of ukraine. understand that i have to work in the fields and specifically cover the military actions that are currently taking place in ukraine because it is, well, now very important, this is now. the most important thing is for the whole world, all ukrainians, to see what is really happening in our country, and our victories, our values, are ours. a constant that does not change and our main value - this is ukraine, this is ukraine's democratic path - this is ukraine's path to the

european union and to nato membership, we asked our employees what they value from the press and these are three things freedom of speech to me no one ever tells me how to speak what should i say so there is a voice in my head that tells me there are no dark people for this freedom because i have seen it i have worked under many conditions i understand what traditional politics is not espresso no matter how difficult the situation is it wasn't difficult. we always know that we will be able to say what is and talk about what is really important. in this primary sense, the word espresso is freedom of speech for journalists, there are no restrictions. the television team is a team story. espresso is a big one. team first of all, i value people. because without people, we couldn't have done anything, and our pro-ukrainian position, the ukrainian view of the world, which is unchanged

from the beginning of the founding of the channel, and what started the revolution of dignity, and our greatest value is you, our viewers. i know all these people. i feel a very pure vibration and i understand these people that we are in the same field not only informationally but also emotionally and it is a great happiness to have this very audience thanks to you we became the leaders on youtube from february 24, it started to develop very rapidly our youtube channel and we have become a leader among ukrainian information resources on youtube . franz 24 for viewers who

were forced to leave the country spread broadcasting to 20 countries of the world and launched english-language platforms twitter facebook and a separate english-language project on youtube spotlight ukraine by talking to border colleagues, we came to the conclusion that there is not enough information, e.e., that passes through this, including in our editorial office, fact-checking for foreign audiences, part of our employees left the information service to defend the independence of ukraine on the battlefield . news has already arrived that are advancing towards brovary eh in the enemy forces and i decided that i would really rather do more with a machine gun than with a microphone at the moment except for ilya more than 10 employees of our tv channel are now in the armed forces this

tatiana chornovol, artem shevchenko, serhiy didenko, ilya, there are vlas and others, unfortunately, in october, our colleague director and fighter of the 103rd brigade, vasyl yavorsky, died, and this is a great loss for our team and the whole country. therefore, we have nowhere to retreat, faith in our victory does not give us put down our host iryna koval, who started volunteering back in 2014 when her husband went to the front, she inspired us for our volunteer projects, she still has a lot of exciting plans ahead and we want to help, we want to bring our victory closer. the main thing in order for us to have enough strength for all this, together with you we collected almost two million 300,000 uah and purchased and handed over to our military three thermal imagers , four night vision devices, three cars and

their accessories, walkie-talkies, generators and warm clothes . for joint tactical group adam on bahmut direction the best gift for us help our military so if you want to wish espresso a happy birthday join our gathering congratulations my name is yuriy fizer and my guest today is my own correspondent of radio free europe and radio freedom in the european institutions

ricardos . thank you for joining me today. congratulations. thank you for inviting me. my first question to you will be this. in november, the deputies plan to vote for a resolution in which russia will be called a terrorist state, so what do you think, do other deputies support this resolution, i think so, because the european parliament is quite strong when it comes to supporting ukraine, they are also more free to make statements of this kind because they have no personal interest in the european parliament it is allowed to talk about things that, say, eu member states and the european commission cannot afford, and the european parliament essentially has more of a diplomatic dome when it comes to foreign policy, they do not make any

binding decisions. therefore, they can be a little more offensive, that's why i think that the european parliament will pass a resolution naming russia . that's right. is there a specific day when this resolution can be adopted? it will be on thursday. unfortunately , i don't have it in front of me. calendar, but it seems to be somewhere on november 24. okay, so i hope that the resolution will be voted on. the head of european diplomacy in brussels, before the start of the meeting of foreign ministers of the member states of the european union, said that the eu has not yet ready to discuss the introduction of new sanctions against russia, what can such a statement mean, it means

that the european union has developed such a reality that in order to adopt each sanction, the unanimity of 27 participating countries is necessary, mr. borel knows that some eu member states do not want to go any further with sanctions now, the vast majority of eu countries want to move forward, in particular by expanding the list of people or assets that should be frozen, who should receive an entry ban, are ready to move forward to fill certain gaps in the sanctions and so on, but at the moment they have not accelerated to 100%. so now they're working on what could be the ninth package of eu sanctions i think there 's still a pretty good chance it'll be agreed before christmas but you're still going to have to work even uh even harder to get everyone to agree so if talk about some of these countries. they don't want new sanctions against russia right now or at all. i think both, but basically

they don't want new sanctions at all. we know that hungary is the country that speaks out loudest. against the sanctions, they believe that the sanctions do not work, claiming that if they were effective, they could have stopped the war a long time ago, so i think that they do not support new sanctions, however, as was the case with budapest during the last two or three rounds of sanctions, as long as they do not affect their energy and especially the russian energy carriers that go to hungary, namely nuclear energy, gas and to some extent oil. and they can still accept sanctions, but then these sanctions will be very weak . two or three eu sanctions packages left much to be desired. more and i think that we will continue to see similar sanctions, these will not be sanctions that would significantly hit the russian economy, you already mentioned the presence of ukraine in european institutions, do you think that this is enough at the moment? i

think that it is enough, but the problem is that despite a lot of support from your friends despite the fact that people talk about ukraine all the time and today again the minister of foreign affairs of ukraine dmytro kuleba addressed the minister of foreign affairs in brussels via video link despite the fact that ukraine is certainly present everywhere, but at the same time there are limits to what the eu can do as a union of 27 countries. i mean that, as i said, this organization is based on consensus, and when certain countries do not want to move forward so quickly, it is necessary to find a compromise means that the answers will always be weaker than what kyiv expects. the eu is moving and helping ukraine, or maybe it won't be there. the european union is constantly busy with ukraine, but the problem is that it is a slow tanker that does not go at full speed, and so it will be. to continue throughout the winter let's talk about 18

billion euros of aid to ukraine, is this still a proposal or a decision that has already been adopted? i hope the eu praises the decision regarding this, as you know , again, hungary itself is blocking the decision, well , they are waiting for the funds that should come to hungary , so i think that the decision will be made before christmas when hungary gets its money then they will approve the money for ukraine too so everyone gets money before christmas in this way you will surely solve this situation you remember that you also promised ukraine 9 billion this year and only 6 billion will come before even if a decision is made about

18 billion, no one can guarantee that the entire amount will ultimately reach ukraine in 2023. let's talk about the agenda of the european institution for at least a month, and maybe several months ahead, whether the issue of ukraine is included in of the eu agenda, yes, it is constantly on the eu agenda in most configurations, but i would not say that there is some kind of fatigue from ukraine, this is not the case, because otherwise it would not be on the agenda, the problem is that we have now reached the stage when very important decisions it has already been accepted, and i am talking about sanctions about granting ukraine the status of a candidate , then there is not much important left , so they will continue to talk about ukraine. they are looking for different ways to support ukraine, most of what could be done has already been done of course, 18 billion dollars have been allocated, which may

arrive in december, in the end they will be distributed in parts until 2023, but at the moment there is a feeling of stagnation when it comes to a creative approach to how to help ukraine, i got the impression that opposition to the ukrainian issue in european institutions is growing what arguments are used by those who believe that ukraine should be helped less? support for institutions will be possible, which member states would like to focus on other things, especially in winter, when there is an energy crisis, and prices are rising everywhere, so now there is a discussion about how to help ukraine, and the arguments are mainly heard from hungary,

in particular, that the policy did not work, that the sanctions do not work or we must first of all reach moscow to achieve a cease-fire and therefore discuss how to end this war, and yet mostly the majority say that it is ukraine that should decide when the war should end when they will want to sit down at the negotiating table and that this is not something that we should press for, so now there is a kind of balancing act between trying to help ukraine but at the same time in the winter months when there is an energy crisis in the eu when prices are rising when the industry starts complaining about the costs of everything their productivity is at a low level so i think the question is whether ukraine will survive or be able to move forward in the winter and whether the eu is also alive so i think that already in the spring we will see more positive results and even an offensive push from the european union a few days ago in your twitter you wrote

that there are too many russians in the osce. why do you think this is so? i think that basically the osce is an organization in which russia, not the last member of it, pays large contributions so, of course , it will have a representative office there, but i have the impression that the osce is a somewhat complacent organization that they do not really check who are these russians, who do they work for, or do they pose a disturbing threat, well, let's consider such an example there are russians who work in various organizations, for example, in the secretariat of the missions, and they have access to secret information, for example, about people who worked in the special monitoring mission of the osce in ukraine, whose activities are now suspended, but they have the address of these people and what prevents them from passing this information to the kremlin, which then he will hand it over to the fsb. i don't see any security mechanism there that would check where these people are, who

they are, what their connections are, and so on. i'm not saying that every russian every international organization connected with the kremlin i wonder if they were really checked properly to make sure that the information that is confidential and especially related to ukraine did not get to the kremlin through a respectable western organization and with good intentions although it may sound a bit naive okay, i hope that something will change already soon because it is very important and dangerous both for ukraine and for europe itself and my last question to you is what are the average europeans most afraid of cold winter high prices or russia i think that it depends on where in europe they are, if in western europe. where there is no feeling of closeness to russia, they think more

about energy prices, about how to survive the winter of life, because it is unreasonable to complain in western europe when there are people in ukraine who have neither water nor electricians, we need to perceive reality objectively in western europe, they have not seen a soldier for many years, they are not used to this kind of thing, because they had their own comfort zone. and this is normal, because they had decades of freedom and peace. of course, they now, there are many people who are more concerned about energy prices and how to survive there, who are trying to make ends meet every month, but if you ask people in central and eastern europe who still have some collective memory left about what an invasion by russia is, what threats from russia or being under the political influence of russia, i think that there is still a fear of what russia can do, these people also live in conditions of certain economic difficulties

that they did not face in western europe, so they they know how to survive a hard winter or two, but they are afraid of what russia can do because of its historical memory. europe and radio liberty in the european institutions talked with him about our relations, ukrainian-european relations, about how europe is helping us in this difficult time for us.

well , what will my name be in the future? then the government that was in the 13th year did not give us a ukrainian broadcasting license, so we got a latvian license and according to the law we could speak with a latvian license and for these 9 years i just observed that when there is an emergency, people look for us and want watch broadcasts well, plus, we can't help but talk about the fact that we have a wonderful team that actually makes an absolutely beautiful, interesting product that deserves to be watched special project of the world tv channel espresso story the seventeen-year-old son of brazil, the first gold medal of the world cup, the england national team will receive an award from the hands of queen elizabeth, victory at

any cost. it was the hand of god, the hand of diego maradona , the great champions. trophy 116th minute of the match and meat with the ball drama how hard it is to watch leo messi now the world championship is still out of reach for the argentine new generation nom ba nanci watch the special project football format mundial on the espresso channel from monday to saturday at 2:40 p.m. and on sunday at 11:10 a.m. good afternoon. thank you

for supporting the ukrainian view of the world with us. my name is anna valevska. thank you to everyone who joined . i would like to remind you that here we are talking about the incredible ability of ukrainians to self-organize . in this way, we all stand as one. well, the racists continue their terror, they try to intimidate and bend their negotiations to some of their conditions, they will not succeed, you see what the difference is, people who shine and glow, they ignite others with their light and warmth, and dark people such as russians, they want everything around to be dark, so scary , and there is no way, and even then their darkness, their darkness is not

visible, but in reality it is not so, it is all visible, especially in such times, in such difficult times, you can see absolutely all the people who they really are, well, what about us you and i know that it is in difficult times that strong people are born, strong nations and our nation doomed to victory and success - that's for sure well, even after the darkest night, dawn comes, we are waiting for it, our victorious dawn, until then, we hold on, missile attacks on ukrainian infrastructure facilities continue we talked about it with you and in the past programs we were basically ready for it. we have no other options, we will talk about absolutely practical things about how each of us can prepare whether in a private house or in an apartment in an apartment building to the winter, which the mayor of kyiv has already called possibly one of the most extreme and extreme since the second world war. we couldn't

have predicted this with you. but now we have to think about how to survive, so please share this broadcast on youtube, like or dislike, leave your comment write your opinion in this way, you will spread important content, e.e., with a ukrainian view of the world, e.e. we will talk about all these matters with our guest today. they have already started to unfold in ukraine, let's listen to the direct speech of the president of ukraine , we are deploying throughout the country and our new project of supporting people, points of invincibility according to the results . more than four thousand such points have already been prepared this day, and even more are planned if massive russian strikes take place again and if there is an understanding that in hours if the electricity supply is not restored, then the work of the

unbreakable points is activated. all basic services are there - electricity, mobile communication, internet, heat, water, first-aid kit. absolutely free and round-the-clock points will necessarily work at all regional and district administrations. also at schools, buildings of the state emergency service, etc., there is already a special website unbreakable dot gov.ua, which has a map of such points throughout the country, it is constantly updated , you can go to this site and find a map there to see where the closest to you can call it an unbreakable point or a heating point, whatever you want to call it, but this is the place where you can find basic necessary things, such as charging your phone there, drinking tea, this is very necessary for all of us, now we are adding andriy sauk with us senior expert of the reform support office of the

ministry of regional development mr. andrii i congratulate you good afternoon saul i called you absolutely right i want you to comment on the first reaction well, in principle, we have been living in conditions of such extreme terror for not the first week, but winter is getting closer and not yet there were severe frosts there to zero, it may have dropped a little, but as it is now, how well are we doing everything in terms of preparation, points of indifference, step number one, what's next. well, actually, the question is that even these points of invincibility bring them to their senses because they have just begun to be deployed and they promised, for example , starlinks that will happen to each point of invincibility, we see that they are there but not everywhere they are configured and not everywhere there is still an opportunity to get a full connection. therefore, this is the number one question, the second question is that they have just started to unfold and they are, well, for now designed for a small number of people

, but in time, when it will get colder and there will be some even more difficult conditions than we have now. and this is absolutely possible because, well, you correctly said that these people have no conscience, no honor, no dignity, no human traits, and they continue to destroy our civil infrastructure and not fight our defenders on the battlefield. if they had honor, it will probably be worse and we will see how the points of invincibility will appear because generators have been purchased, they are working, but the question again arises as to whether there will be enough fuel on site, and also there will be provided tea, coffee, some food will be provided, it will be possible to stay warm there, but the question is whether there is enough there will be places because if we understand that one high-rise building is like one small village and if the light disappears in one high-rise building, then

where will these people go ? they can get where they can get warm and here you show one of the examples there is not much space and there will not be enough space for everyone. therefore, now they are thinking about making these points unbreakable and making schools or some other large-capacity institutions where people will be able to find which rooms will be heated by uh-huh boiler rooms nearby that use solid fuel, for example, how would you like it? we used to have them. well, now you can still charge the phone, and you need the internet, but as you would see, this is a bigger task that the local self-government bodies are facing, so the mayor told them to organize or the heads of the community there of the village city councils. and where to get it on the basis of what

it is to organize is it schools or to build something new, how to do it technically, to build, for sure, nobody will do anything, well, no one has such resources, neither the state nor the communities, i understand that it will be based on schools, most likely on the basis of kindergartens, places where there are already the possibility of accommodating people, that is, there are some conditions for people to be able to sit and lie down if necessary, and there are also conditions for warming them. we have a lot of school kindergartens, well, at least in brovary, we have every school there near it container that can provide there is heat, that is, it is enough to deliver a generator and then there will already be provision of both heat and electricity for this school and people will be able to stay there. we understand that schools with a capacity of 100-200,500,000 people will allow more people to be placed there than just a tent and on which street will be built, and how many

people will be there, 50. if there are 50 people, it will already be an overload of this point of indomitability . to move there in the event that there will be no supply of electricity and heat for a long time, because we also wanted ruslan martsinkeva's calls, this is mariy ivano-frankivska, he is one of those mayors who just called people from the city from high-rise buildings to go to the village, well, in case of what but maybe now we should go there to look at some houses, where to move to whom. how do you feel about this initiative ? that they should call them to go to these houses to first look at them, whether there is a whole roof there, or whether there is a whole house with windows and doors
