[000:00:00;00] members of us lithuanian journalist, host of several popular lithuanian television shows one of the most influential and recognizable journalists in lithuania, at the beginning of the full-scale invasion of russia, became an active defender of ukraine on may 22, andrew stabinas announced in lithuania a nationwide fund-raising for the purchase of a combat drone byraktar for ukraine this was the first international an action of this scale and direction, we turned to our ministry of defense and told them about the idea, they talked with the turkish manufacturer of brtars and they gave the green light they said ok we will sell the baryakhtar to the lithuanian people through the ministry of defense if you raise 5 million euros so we started i gave three weeks for this

collection from my point of view it was optimistic for such a small country like ours with 5 million euros in three days, andrei shtabi continues to actively help ukraine. he broadcasts his projects with the ukrainian flag on his lapel. in ukraine, he was awarded the order of merit of the third degree. what is behind his position? we will try to understand . i will contact you in ukrainian. year, you communicate with ukrainians so often that it seems to me that you have already begun to understand the ukrainian language almost uh-uh , i don't speak uh-uh ukrainian yet.

how do you feel now in ukraine? what did you feel when you arrived in kyiv ? we had drone attacks on kyiv the day before. we have constant air alarms. wasn't it a little scary for you? my mother was a little restless, and for me. well, i saw what i hoped to see. kyiv was alive. kyiv lives on its own life is like that, people are working. people are walking on the streets and even well, anyway, you feel like that. i have been to kyiv many times, dozens of times, yes , widowed. now i feel like that , well, that's a little nervousness. and ukraine is alive and this is the most important thing for us who love ukraine and who see ukraine after 1000 km. of course, i was uh earlier for me it was the time of the flight from vilnius to kiev

uh now it takes almost two days to get there to kyiv well, this will pass everything will pass and everything will be restored to the way it was and i am sure that it is even better and that some quest you are changing . in kherson, well, well, there, there, yes, there, but they go there, they don’t come, and we all work for children. so, i think this is only the last visit of mine, and it will be necessary to come again. you are one of the top journalists in lithuania, without exaggeration, everyone knows you. in lithuania, every person is me personally

you are the host of the most popular television shows in lithuania, you were convinced of this, the ukrainians learned a lot about you when you fully took our side in the beginning of the full-scale invasion of russia and you announced the first among all fundraising initiatives about funds for ukraine, and you decided to present a very specific collection to the ukrainians of bairaktards from lithuania how did this idea come to you in general well, first of all, i think, like many lithuanians , i hold the opinion that the war in ukraine did not start last year, but in 2014, we we would like to explain to our western colleagues that not since february 24, ukraine has been at war with the roshists, but it started gradually because, first, we came to ukraine with a convoy, brought humanitarian

aid, and took out refugees. i myself traveled to the dnieper . after the yellow waters, we bought two drones and, uh, scouts, and estonian drones , according to your guru, and then it was already such an idea. what can you buy like this? that’s what makes a tank or an airplane breathtaking . well, of course, no one will sell us tanks there. and the plane well, it was very popular then the legend of the byraktar there and the song was created there and there, this situation

, yes, the people's byraktar, they wanted to capture us right away. well, they said that you are asking, uh, if it will be difficult, we will look for a corporate body of sponsors and the like . i think that this is a waste for us, well, 3-4 weeks, it took 3 1/2 days, everything. well, how would such an electrified atmosphere in lithuania, they all we wanted to be a part of this big project, not only with money, but with some small shares, and that was the most important thing that i didn’t like. well, of course , there was a story later, because the turkish company donated this byraktar and we still had in this money, 5 million 900,000 € to buy something else for ukraine . we bought 100 anti-drone guns there. we bought a lot of

medical aid for the cherkasy region . oh man i liked that we somehow turned out to be such a wild, that is, a wave, er, other countries went after lithuania, even, er, sergey prytula, who is there , er , oh, this is an idea. it seems to me that the poles would do it for four, well, for others , well, for this one, they didn’t ask, no, not for everyone, but the most important thing is that we showed that people from the other side can buy for their fighting brothers and sisters in ukraine not only humanitarian aid, but only there are helmets or bulletproof vests, but that's fine seryoznoe оружие чем и язывать two, how did lithuanians accept this idea in general, they didn't scold you? what, for example, is what you're talking

about, and isn't it better to buy ambulances, or isn't it better to buy medical equipment for the injured, and not weapons, because a byraktar is a weapon? well, we have there are many funds that work with medical aid and with humanitarian aid. and that’s all here . well, the story itself is very strong, that is, it’s simple . teachers, students, even schoolchildren, pensioners. this happened during the second world war, when the british were forced to buy for their air force. well, again, they bought for their country, for another country, that ’s as they say. well, that’s an interesting precedent , but everyone liked it because i think that in everyone

a-and fundraising that has such importance needs to be strong. stories and then we had even more stories . we bought the legion of kamikaze drones for ukraine . on average, an ordinary lithuanian transfers money to these initiatives that lithuania offers for ukraine, well, it is difficult to say that in the average, average, in general, i will say yes, i will give one of the biggest initiatives that passed at the end of january, it was called radar, and we bought 16 radars for the anti-defense system in ukraine, it was 14 million euros collected in three weeks. it wasn't just us gathering , all the big funds of lithuania were gathering, it would be such

a very joint action. wars, only for this action, he donated five, uh, 5 €, yes, every lithuanian, well, if we took some big country, that's what we say, for example, i don't know italy or great britain, how much money then they could collect if every briton there donated five pounds to the armed forces of ukraine but i think in principle about 100 €, i would say that people who want to help ukraine do it every month they transfer about 100 € to humanitarian initiatives and to such small funds which are also needed who buy 2 jeeps there and take them to a specific brigade and with whom they have some contacts. so, this is still not stopping in lithuania, and here i am again saying that today we are also thinking about

what kind of story is possible come up with an idea to make an even bigger action, because after the radar and 14 million euros , the lithuanians need to take a break so that they can save up money for the help of ukraine, but in the end, i would say that about 100 euros are active people translate to lithuanian. and when there are such big stocks, well then already skidyvaetsya khist ne kadzyj you said that now you are thinking about the next campaign and how to make it attractive. yes, for lithuanians , is there a certain fatigue from the war in ukraine? we see that, unfortunately for us, the war has left the top of the world headlines in the newspapers. for months, absolutely all the world's publications wrote about the war in ukraine, and now

this topic is gradually shifting, because the average resident of the west is a little tired of it, or is there something about the ukrainian topic among lithuanians? well, i think that lithuania never won't forget the ukrainian topic eh that all the main events in our country are covered in the front pages regulates and drone strikes of oil storage drones in krym and crimea and the like. so that lithuania is still on the front pages, i think that it will remain so because ours are different, they are different from the impression of our colleagues in

in the western world, that is, when he asks me that's why lithuanians support ukraine so much. after all, it's a war. i always answer the same. it's ours. we think it's our war because we can't fight on the front lines, but we understand that if it's not ukraine , then it could be lithuania. well, yes. my nato members, of course, this is such a barrier, but it’s still a monster in which we have to live. he will never forget all of these things. when he lost ukraine and us, he cannot accept that this is lost for the empire forever. this war showed that's the same a big mistake is probably the empire, because now the hatred is like the empire of the empire of the former soviet union, the empire of the roshist empire, the black empire

, it is in loyalty. we now have everything about russia, all businessmen who work with russia are on black lists, that is, lithuania understands that it is necessary to treat this situation harshly, and at the same time, they will never stop helping those who are now on the defensive in the entire civilized world, we understand this very clearly, and i also understand these poles and latvians, estonians and czechs , and our diplomats and our politicians in brussels are also working on this. today, i read an article from one of our members of the european parliament, where he очень чётко, again, uh, everything about everything should be emphasized. how should europe help ukraine with troops

? the western european audience now accepts arguments that ukraine needs constant support . what kind of arguments do they respond to, uh, they are they reacting to terrible photos and videos when another russian missile hits a residential building in ukraine are they reacting to numbers and facts or are they reacting to a cold analyst what does a western reader or viewer react to? western media, but still, these crimes of russia are repeated once a week, at least. so, people are already used to it. alas, they are used to it. what, well, a rocket hit , in general, a few people were killed in the house. well, that

already happened. week and for for of the western audience, that is, you are already becoming the new normal, how to say, uh, numbers, but numbers are scary numbers, again , you get used to them too, so i have such nervousness, so i think that they are starting to think and they always thought like that, well, price for fuel at an italian gas station, it becomes more important to them and i can't take them , she says, they have never lived near russia. well, how can such a portuguese or a spaniard understand what russia is, i was in italy now, there is some kind of prosthesis, people walk with red soviet flags union, but they are not do they understand some naive such fools? i would say that they never lived near russia , they were never killed by russia, russia copied russia, how can they understand it

? i think that after the war there will be new blocs, even within the european union, new blocs that will either be around ukraine, around this new bloc that many, many people are talking about, ukraine , poland, the baltic countries of great britain, and maybe there will be another blog that thinks well, it's old people in europe , it doesn't concern us, and it's probably normal for us , as i said. самое вот и всё что the most important thing is that we have victory in lithuania, no one doubts it, we are meeting with you today on the basis of the united e-e twenty 4 platform, which is a ukrainian m-m fundraising platform for

collecting funds, including from abroad under the patronage of the president of ukraine as you got into this company, it’s thanks to your projects, the custodian of these projects with sea drones, when president zelensky announced that it was necessary to raise money for sea drones, we were the first to respond because we had money collected money for putin's birthday, this is one day. you collected it as a gift and were waiting for a good gift to give him. i think that the marine drone that will potentially hit the roshen ships is a very good gift , and then we collected money for more for two drone so, ah, and now they brought another tranche of $250,000 to kiev for the needy and even twenty-fourths of dollars, so we, as donors , have now sent about a million dollars

to youthfort, well, again, this is not the end, i’m sure it will be новый инициатива и литовские люди will connect cooperation with ukraine. what do you personally feel when you complete the next big collection? when you propose another project ? what do you think about ukraine? why do you treat us like that personally? two minutes of such and such odds that it was successful and we immediately start thinking about something else, how else can we help , because for me it is help for ukraine.

i see that tens of thousands of people in lithuania are connecting to us, and you understand that everything we think so that for ukraine, for us, this is freedom, ukraine for us is invincibility, and we know that if we had such a problem, ukraine would come to our aid, that's why что сейчас то что мы прежаем i think it will unite our nations forever, if we have hatred for growth in generation two, it will be love and friendship in maybe generation 5-6, this is, i think , the best result that we can expect except for victory and holidays in kiev, a part of our future victory. i am very grateful to you for your position today we spoke with a great friend of ukraine, a journalist

from lithuania anders tapinos thank you very much tsn the week with alla mazur vodyna was again sent to a publicly known address erdogan with the people of azov from istanbul zelensky from zmiinoy what will happen next we are analyzing before the nato summit in vilnius is tsn week, the more you know, the better you are armed i congratulate you unbreakable ukrainians the return of heroes , let's say what will be done in battle, there will be no contest on the turkish side and what russia is hinting at, a gesture of rebuke , a success about which it is better to be silent, where ukrainian

soldiers managed to break through the mined line of the russians and the role of american cluster munitions, when will they be and whether they will speed up the bukovel counteroffensive, we are lowering the scores , we are lowering the qualities that hide the record high scores of school graduates, and whether the criminal or heroes will return the final exams. how did it happen that the ukrainian themis did not manage to justify anya anya punish igor humenyuk and why remind about himself he decided too loudly and in the last putin's lessons have not been learned moscow is a city of defeats how many times has russian history erased the memory of the loss of the war and when the cossacks were taken to moscow but first about the events of the last days briefly similar to the arrival of residents of the capital, an explosion at a gas station

from llc was frightened by flames and thick black smoke rising over the left bank of kyiv, later it turned out that two young guys at a crazy speed of 180 km flew straight into a gas station the fire broke out instantly, eight cars burned down, doctors hospitalized three people, the youngest was 17 years old, cotton in russia in rostov, bryansk region and occupied kerch announced the work of air defense and the alleged downing of missiles in the bryansk people's republic speaks of destruction by sawmills, but the hellish season in occupied crimea has only just begun aksyonov shouts about cruise missiles, traffic on the crimean bridge was stopped in both directions , crazy queues have grown there, all car occupants are being checked by president volodymyr zelenskyi , president of poland angeli duda unexpectedly came to lutsk, the visit was not announced, the heads of state visited the cathedral church of saints peter and paul, where they honored the memory

of all the innocent victims. the presidents of volyn were able to talk briefly but very objectively about the upcoming nato summit in vilnius, and on the last saturday, five legendary commanders stayed at home. denis prokopenko-redis, commander of azov, serhii volynsky volyn, commander of the 36th marine brigade, sviatoslav palamar kalina, returned from ukraine and turkey on the same board as the president deputy commander of azov, oleg khomenko, major of the national guard, and denis shlega, colonel of the national guard of ukraine, after being released from russian captivity, were transported to turkey under the personal guarantee of president erdogan, and according to the agreement, they were supposed to be there until the end of the war, the kremlin was indignant , it turns out that no one had warned them and they had already been made up version of why the agreements were violated, they say it is such a maneuver to cover up the failures of the ukrainian counteroffensive, such explanations made even russian

propagandists laugh. but on the 500th day of the war legendary commanders in ukraine and are going to return to the army. we will continue the fight, we will definitely have our say in battle. we will do everything possible and impossible in order to speed up this process and for the war to reach its logical conclusion . this is a secret question, journalists immediately asked president zelenskyi , thank you for this, to the turkish side of the president, i will tell you what happened, yes, i would not like to

pretend to be honest, i believe that there are things in which details interfere with the future results, and we really need them, we need everyone to regain their weight, the return of these heroes is difficult to overestimate , and yet the most important thing from last night , these are these hugs, it turned out that for the relatives of the deceased, it was all a surprise, they did not know anything about the return of their sons and husbands home sviatoslava palamar kalyna became a father for the second time while he was in turkey , his daughter was born a week ago , he will see a girl here for the first time , they showed the photos, i saw them, i will definitely share them with you, she stood well next to him and you understand that hugging the president when he speaks is not appropriate. now i will hug him and kiss them, but the mention of whom the enemy has makes my blood run cold. i will live the legend of this war. azov

regiment. tsn correspondent of the week. the first action of the giant war, they gave me some how then it turned out some kind of afghan bulletproof vest made of cut plates and we gathered lined up she said everything from that time of the indifferent azov that spring this is a group of former automaidans and members of the public organization patriot of ukraine what teachers of history and nationalist andriy biletskyi are so desperate that on may 5, 2014, azov becomes a volunteer battalion already as part of the ministry of internal affairs . for ilovaisk, mariupol for many years becomes the main center

of the azov regiment and the azov movement, a movement built on the nationalist ideas of the oun and opa, but this nationalism does not have ethnic features, because in azov they become champions of ukraine jews, azerbaijanis and even russians, all of them are united by a radical love for the common homeland, which above all is ukraine, the russians do not understand how it is possible to fight like this not for money or the opportunity to rob or rape, but for their country and their people, such a small caste is separate from us, boys are returning and again without hands, even without legs, without hands, he returns in time with 201 azov and his motivated, trained fighters , this is the worst nightmare of russian coppers , which means that since the beginning of the war in donbas, scholz

has dubbed all paganism neo-nazis the azov flag with the letters and and n what does the idea of ​​nations mean? they began to purposefully compare it with the german heraldic symbol, the wolf angel, which was used by the nazis during the second world war. everyone called us there by different words , but then i say mariupol happened, in which everyone saw who the nazis were and fascists and who are the defenders of their country, the main thing is comrades in arms and new volunteers went to mariupol from all over ukraine, the main thing was to have time to come to the aid of their native city and theirs, they were all ready to fight to the end, they i didn't say fast in hands. well, that's all right, we part ways, change into civilian clothes and go to europe. mariupol, on february 8

, azov, along with the marines , border guards and national guardsmen, defended the city for 86 days, every minute, every second of which showed fantastic heroism and training if if you doubt it, try to fight effectively alone against 10 or even twenty, while having no support from the air, saving ammunition and actually starving, if you take the statistics of mariupoli , plus or minus 300 people died. this is crazy the result is, if you compare the number of enemy casualties, they did not surrender even on may 20, when 2,000 defenders, by order of the commander-in-chief, began to go outside, they were laying down their weapons, there were russian prisons and the horrors of reindeer herders in front
