[000:00:00;00] send questions to my facebook page, vasyl zima, and you have the opportunity, too, he offered uh, well, make your own suggestions , let's stick together, uh, together. souls, bodies, hearts, wallets, after all, it can only attack attacks on what unity attacks our trust in each other , trust in governing bodies, as andrii kuzinchuk rightly said. well, actually, all these attacks must be repelled, even if they are they cause us certain injuries, these injuries must also be treated together, because now this war is only expanding and it is not getting smaller, but we must do everything to make this war disappear from our territory. at 7:15 p.m. in the great artery take care of yourself and e hides if you have a chance, the largest children's hospital of ukraine , okhmatdyt, after a full-scale invasion , did not stop work for a moment, they made a decision

to come to the relevant order to come all departments in this new course and make sure that the operation is carried out on the ground floor, because this building is made of reinforced concrete, unlike the old buildings, which are panel buildings, this new building of the hospital for especially seriously ill children began to be built in 2011, but it was possible to start work at 100% already under during the full-scale invasion of russia into ukraine during the war, we were able to launch a new corps, equip it with the most modern equipment, here came nero , a monitoring system, navigation, here came

operating tables, and did we do everything possible and it is impossible for this institution to be the best since the construction of the hospital took place due to corruption schemes even during the presidency of viktor yanukovych, the hospital was built against the background of corruption scandals, court disputes and arrests, and only at the end of 2022 the higher anti-corruption court announced the verdict in one of the cases of abuse at the okhmatdyt construction site, the former manager iryna koval of the state enterprise ukrmed projektbud was sentenced to 5 years, and the former director of ukrpromet llc ihor kuchma was sentenced to four years in prison years, another suspect in embezzlement of funds, maksym naumov, is wanted. the company paid for and ordered construction works of various kinds , including in okhmatdyt, and in this case it was specifically about equipment. also, there are pro-lifts that were ordered, for which 100% was paid in advance the input payment for that

equipment was not delivered, and the blacksmiths in collusion with their co-conspirators with the head of the enterprise that will implement this pseudo-delivery were in collusion and tried to take measures to hide that it is alleged that this equipment was kept there somewhere only under this criminal scheme, damages were caused to the state in the amount of 30 million uah. only the amount that we managed to confirm documented according to our calculations at that time already after the revolution of dignity that we did an analysis of abuses was more than 135 million and we even managed to return it through the courts there if

i'm not mistaken, 62 million, but unfortunately we also fought for 79 million, almost 80 million visited both the prosecutor's office and the sbu and managed to move this case, so to speak, only when there were already anti-corruption bodies, public activists emphasize that the investigation of the case regarding okhmatdyt developed in parallel with the anti-corruption authorities in ukraine before the creation of the national anti-corruption bureau , before the start of their work , no one systematically dealt with this issue at all, and there were many cases in which investigations were initiated, but they never even got to the courts in our country, that is, people who received large bribes for organizing such events then paid a part of these funds to the law enforcement officers and everything was closed after the anti-corruption bodies began to work , another problem arose, the cases got stuck in the ukrainian courts. send cases to

the court, and in the courts we saw that, well, there will be no cases. they don't consider the cases, they are just afraid to take responsibility, and then, ah, a big campaign was started, it was created above the anti-corruption court, and in fact only in 2019, all cases were simply transferred to the anti-corruption court , which was launched and began to consider them , the parties involved in the case tried in every way to delay the trial, in particular, under the articles of official forgery, they were also found guilty but released from liability due to the expiration of the statute of limitations under other articles, the decision can be appealed if the case drags on in the vax appeals chamber , the statute of limitations will also expire under other articles , so now it is important to prevent dismissal from the punishment of officials suspected of embezzlement in the treatment of children with cancer, although they came under investigation. not everyone involved in the embezzlement in this hospital

is far from talking about the moral point of view . there is nothing to explain the meaning of help, especially to children with cancer. yes, and such serious diseases that are treated just in the blink of an eye , well, it is not clear to you and me. demonstrates to an extent the anti-corruption development of ukraine, you and i understand the sphere in which extremely large amounts of money were spent and how , unfortunately , money was made from this for many years. i am not talking only about equipment . i am also talking about medical drugs, but first of all it was possible to at least develop and propose to the previous management of the hospital what concerns the electronic, well, electronic

reports in the electronic system, the current management of the hospital emphasizes that in 10 years there have been very tangible changes, a lot really starting with communication with the ministry of health and ending with the supply of everything and consumables and equipment , and this is how you know as an example of how it works, you see this building. it lives so that children are nearby. here is a christmas tree. it really lives as a full-fledged hospital, but is there enough work? the old buildings of the hospital , which in a few weeks will celebrate 129 years from the day of its foundation, are in need of renovation . currently, during the war, renovations are being done. people

are moving. the equipment is being updated, additional devices are appearing, but i would like to, and it will probably become possible already after the war to completely update the hospital. i am sure that we will continue to work, well, if the entire complex of the okhmatdyt national children's hospital, well, it will be such a business card, well, let's say good luck and the recovery of a modern hospital in which doctors save lives and patients receive services in decent conditions is a symbol of the recovery of not only ukrainian children but also the ukrainian system in general, although this process is still ongoing and should continue under control civil society, even in the conditions of the russian-ukrainian war, i am iryna koval, mother, wife, host of the espresso tv channel. i am also a volunteer. our soldiers at the front

need a lot of things every day, and that is why part of my life today is helping the armed forces of ukraine, and i am very grateful to my colleagues for their support the war caught me at home in irpen, the alarming suitcase was packed , but that did not reduce the excitement, explosions every minute, the gostomel airfield is on fire , russian fighters, i have a cold window the basement, then leaving under shelling from irpen, a month of abandonment by my relatives, and finally i ended up in lviv, returned to the airwaves and started volunteering together with my colleagues, helping our military is now an integral part of life, we gather for drones and thermal imagers , we weave nets, and on weekends we gather for vitamin teas to our defenders at the front, we all cut fruits together

, pick berries, whip everything and pack it , it is always very gratifying to think that in a few days this tea will warm the ukrainian soldiers . each of you can help, even a little contribution to the support of the army saves the lives of our soldiers and brings our victory closer unconquered cities of ukraine is a progressive melitopol, one of the most comfortable cities for living in ukraine thanks to a good location, the city developed rapidly, but at the same time it suffered due to frequent raids by invaders in the second world war, it became the main defensive point of the nazis , the order was any - at what cost to keep the steel gates to crimea, after two years of occupation , residents rebuilt melitopol, turning

it into a developed european city today the people of melitopol prove to the occupier that they have not only steel gates, but melitopol was and remains an unconquered ukrainian city melitopol unconquered we continue the search for 15-year-old arina yatsyuk, the fate of which has been unknown for almost a year, the photo of the missing girl was given to us by her great-aunt, who actually lost her contact with my niece and told me a simply terrible story and the disappearance of arina herself from kyiv, and when the war began, she was with her father, mother and younger sister in the village of severynivka, this is the buchan district kyiv region and in the first days of the war there was more or less calm, so the family decided to stay in the village and not return to

the capital, where rockets had already arrived, and at the beginning of march, when the buchan district was already full of occupiers in severynivka, and not only that , enemy artillery began to fly, of course people were hiding in the basements, but it is hardly possible to say that it was safe there, so i imagine with horror the feeling of arina, leaving her nine-year-old sister , the main thing of her parents, who perfectly understood that it was impossible to stay, but also to run away it's dangerous, look at severynivka, in order to go south, no matter how hard it is, you had to jump onto the zhytomyr highway and only then turn to motyzhyn or kopyliv. and at that time the road was already full of machinery, the situation was deadlocked, and the family dared to escape, they left severynivka, er, for uman and along the zhytomyr highway near the village of motyzhynka polovka, they were all shot together by buzova, they were shot by mrs. iryna , who told me all this, the cousin

of arina's father. that is, she is looking for her niece, because it turns out to be the girl's parents they died, their car was shot by the occupiers, the parents were killed on the spot, and we gave the youngest daughter to the village of motyzhyn family, and the eldest, arina, was wounded in the leg , they were taken somewhere, they were taken somewhere, no one knows where, it’s scary to even imagine all this, the children look alike, they didn’t even have time to understand that the parents were dead, because they were shot the orcs immediately ran up to the cars and took out the sisters' girls , they put the younger nine-year-old girl in different cars, the occupiers later gave her to another family in the nearest village and now she is safe, but the older 15-year-old arina, with a wounded leg, was taken to an unknown destination. imagine all this. a nine-year-old girl told the adults that her mother and father

were unconscious and the orcs told them that they would be taken to the hospital. the fate of 15-year-old arina yatsyuk is still unknown, so i ask everyone to look carefully at arena's photo, remember her face and those big dark eyes, if anyone has seen the girl, if anyone has seen her, no delay, any information is important, who does not have it, call us at the magnolia children's search service at the short number 116,000 from any mobile operator, the calls are free and i will ask for a few seconds of your attention, look at the photo this is five-year-old victoria mokrushina, whose fate has been over eight months, nothing is known. i know that the last girl was contacted as late as may 7. the child was in the village of belogorivka, this is

the severodonetsk district of the luhansk region. at that time , there were fierce battles, but now this territory is already de-occupied and in kopiyka of the armed forces of ukraine they were released in september, but there is still no information about victoria mokrushina, so i am asking especially the residents of the north donets district of luhansk region to look carefully at the photo of the girl, she has dark hair, her eyes are like that , victoria looks like she is 5 years old, if anyone suddenly saw her or know where she might be, do not delay and call us on the magnolia child tracing hotline at the short number 116 000 from any mobile operator free of charge this is only two missing children stories in total since the beginning war we have received thousands of appeals for help in the search, fortunately, most of the children have already been found, but the fate of many remains unknown and everyone can help find them, take just a minute and

go to the website of the magnolia children's search service , here you can view all the photos of the missing , maybe you are someone you will recognize and eventually help to find glory to ukraine, this program is the verdict, my name is serhiy rudenko. good day and good health to all. today, january 31, is the 342nd day of the heroic struggle of the ukrainian people to the russian occupiers, russia is preparing for a major offensive in the coming months, probably on luhansk region. these are the data of experts of the american institute for the study of war. joe biden said that the united states of america will not supply ukraine with f-16 aircraft. and general budanov hopes that in the summer the ukrainian army will already be in crimea, meanwhile

the russian army and continues to lose manpower and equipment in ukraine as of the morning of january 31, russia has already lost 127,500 people in ukraine in the last day alone, the armed forces of ukraine destroyed 850 orks with the beginning of the great war, the russians have already lost in ukraine 3,0101 tanks, 6,378 armored combat vehicles , 2,197 artillery systems, 454 rocket launchers, 221 anti -aircraft defenses, 293 aircraft, 284 helicopters, 5.41 units of automotive equipment, 18 qatari ships, 796 cruise missiles, 1951 drones , 2011 special equipment, and so the united states the americans are still denying ukraine the f-16

. russia is preparing a major offensive against ukraine, or this date promises to return crimea , we will talk about this in the next hour i would like to introduce today's first guest - this is the people's deputy of ukraine, colonel of the sbu, roman kostenko , mr. colonel, good day, good health to you and thank you for joining our broadcast. i wish you good health. before the big offensive, as they say, probably in luhansk oblast , according to the institute's analysts, this is indicated by data coming from both russian and ukrainian and western sources e.p. colonel how likely is it that the russians, as people who are used to a certain symbolism, can start this offensive at the end of february

well, if we are talking specifically about the russians , for whom sometimes symbolism and political stories sometimes trump common sense , then of course it can be, but here the question is that when the russians began their invasion on february 24, they were counting on a quick blitzkrieg, somewhere they copied nazi germany at one time, which at one time also used ... they quickly captured large territories, even though the red army troops were there, and at that moment they were defending themselves on uh, well, on large areas of operational spaces, and why did they manage to capture some territory on february 24, not everything they planned, but captured because they also advanced on the roads and in principle er, they followed them and using the same equipment

tried to quickly influence our country by seizing the territory, now they have it like this after a year of war has passed, defenses have been built, including all the main roads. they are located under the control of our artillery, it will be very difficult for them to do this if the weather is as it is now. for example, here in the south or in the east, when there is mud, in order to advance in such masses, they will not be able to simply go in a column along the road first it is impossible because uh, i say again, we control them, they will need operational space for this, and yet, when such a thing unravels now , the advantage is on the side of the defenders, so i think they are prone to symbolism, but after all , they are waiting for the spring company because they understand that they are already snoring in columns just like that. they will not be able to advance, that is, there will be no repeat of february 24, when they

could cover 200-300 km there in two days. well , he means from belarus when they were coming from the north. well, they told me through the sumy region eyewitnesses that the convoy went about 10 km, they came from the kursk region through the sumy region. well, to konotop and then to the thorns. if i'm not mistaken, of course, it 's unlikely that they will suffer great losses. if they are such children, you remember that even they came in big columns starting on february 24, counting on e there, let's say the tactical level of resistance eh and these columns eh. we remember how they were then broken and stood along these fats and already somewhere at the end of march. at the end of march, at the beginning of april, they already we understood this and even we saw the orders that went to the armed forces of the russian federation that they should not advance with large columns, make

small columns and move in small ones because the armed forces of ukraine were hitting them , and they still had e- well, let's say so they partially covered their advantage in the air with rotorcraft helicopters, they covered themselves with army aviation with airplanes, and now they do not have this advantage, that is why their entire offensive , which he plans, will be a tough attack on er, strongly defensive, er, on troops that are already prepared for defense. we remember we know that not all our troops were ready for defense at that time, many units were in permanent deployment points , not deployed. the troops are deployed in defense in the places of permanent deployment, only and then not in the places permanently, but the reserves are there where they undergo training. of course , they cannot take such a walk as it was on february 24 in the first days, when they

reached kakhovka, for example, in 6 hours. having met practically no uh-uh resistance and this is a big one almost the entire left bank they came because kakhovka is just uh-uh well nova kakhovka it stands on the dnieper and they are already somewhere in the early hours of the day, i am there all the time, there are many relatives there already were driving along this route, borislav kakhovka, who is on the right bank of the dnieper, it was very fast there, now it was small, probably yesterday, nato secretary general stoltenberg said that he does not see signs of russia's preparation for peace talks, he observes the exact opposite, according to him, the russian federation can mobilize another 200,000 people increases production of munitions and receives them from friendly authorities of authoritarian regimes such as keram and the dprk putin maintains his maximalist goals in ukraine

, stoltenberg emphasized when we talk about preparation russia before the great offensive or the attempt of the great offensive, we always mention that ukraine is preparing for a counteroffensive . at least this is what the military leadership of the ukrainian state talked about, but every time we talk about the counteroffensive of the ukrainian army, we strive for the arrival of heavy weapons from the west. the tanks will already arrive in ukraine, but not as quickly as it turned out later, the abrams may arrive at the end of the 23rd, the beginning of the 24th, the leopards will also probably be closer to the summer, how long is this delay with heavy equipment it changes the plans of the ukrainian e-e army and to what extent it gives an advantage for the russians, looking at what plans we are talking about a counter-offensive in general, this is in the information plane, we see few statements

specifically about a counter-offensive on the part of the e-e military-political leadership there because they understand situation. we remember what the head of the army, zaluzhny, said about the fact that in order to carry out a counteroffensive, he needs 300 tanks, the number of bmws there, how many artillery systems there are, and when we talk about the fact that these tanks, these machines will be with us placed there by the summer, we understand. they must be people trained for them, they are well trained, special glass and reserves are well prepared. well, i think that this changes, in particular , that is why i think that the counteroffensive will be when, uh , when first of all, our general staff will determine the place of its holding, secondly, that the forces and means that we have are ready for this, not just to fight against the wall as they are doing now on there we see on ugledara on soledar there, with great losses, they take

3 km of the front there and lay down thousands of their soldiers there the russians are such a counteroffensive to us, and let's say, well, it will be very expensive, we have to do it at the expense of modern, uh, technological weapons . well, you know, i wasn't talking about the counteroffensive , first of all, we need to talk about it, but more needs to be done. well, in order for it to be possible, but we are talking about a counteroffensive at a time when the enemy even has those er reserve forces that he has after the forces were released on er those that stood on the right bank of the dnieper at this bridgehead as we call it when they came out of the right bank and they have now transferred them to the luhansk donetsk direction , they have strengthened the groups in the zaporizhzhia direction and now with these forces they continue to break through our defenses in a different way. in the directions, there is success at the tactical level

, but they still continue to pass our troops somewhere, and that is why i say once again that our main task now is to stop the enemy before speaking in front of the contonas, yes, we need to plan forces, resources, means, places, but we must not forget that we are talking about this when the enemy is still advancing, let it be in small areas . but it is advancing and everyone's main task now is to stop it and bring down its offensive potential so that it cannot do this, so i believe that it is necessary right now to talk specifically about defense in the near future in order not to give the enemy, well, about its correct construction , the construction of fortifications, the mining of the area, er, the complete fire system of the organization, it is correct, and then only talk

about the counteroffensive, meanwhile, the kremlin propagandists say that the prospect of a breakthrough at the front may be due to the latest weapons that ukraine is receiving and will receive from the institution in the telegram of 60 minutes of skabeeva e-e, the russian military publicly admits that the victory of russia on the battlefield is under great question, in particular, skabeeva said kadirovets apti allaudinov, he says that the fact that the west provides heavy weapons to ukraine can end tragically for russia, let's hear it, let 's ask for tanks right now from the position of realism, everything seems too much

it is dangerous and germany was afraid of germany, now they are sending another american to their abrams. we are planning to win this in the first place . i call out that they are scared, but they just have to. are they changing their tactics , or are they really becoming critically dangerous? they will win and they can already see that this blitzkrieg they were counting on is not going to succeed, we are entering a protracted war with the russian federation, russia feels that it will not be so easy for them, at the same time, at the same time , yesterday joe biden's statement was made that the united states the united states does not yet plan to provide ukraine with f16 fighter jets . well, we remember in principle before there were

decisions to park. we remember when i was in the united states myself and we told every congressman and senator we met that give us tanks, they yes, yes, but we understood that it was some distant prospect now we see that the question is already open, they say and i will say what we say at the end of the 23rd, everything can change it can change it in the spring everything can change to uh, to the other rammstein, i will say that it is probably abrams tanks. it is very good there, a certain number of the 24th year, i think that we should first of all count on leopard tanks, which are here, the country of manufacture of which i mean in europe, the country of manufacture of them is located in europe, there are logistics centers in in europe, there is poland, which also uses these leopard tanks, and they were more appropriate for us. there are many nuances, exactly. that's how quiet the technical characteristics are, the weight of the tank , the nominal capacities of our bridges, our
