, a fuel and lubricant warehouse and a station rap, at least 26 people died as a result of the accident of a passenger ship near the capital of the philippines, manila, the country's coast guard reported that the shipwreck occurred due to overloading. the maximum capacity of the ship was 42 passengers, but there were almost twice as many people on board . currently, the search and rescue operation continues according to technologies. the future in kyiv was presented. drones and robotic platforms for the army, they are able to destroy the russians thanks to particular artificial intelligence , see about technological innovations in our story on these in the cadres, a ukrainian-made drone flew below and the occupiers developed a device recently and at once several models of a standard uav flies at a distance of 30-40 km

, which can carry a warhead weighing 2-3 kg, it is capable of destroying any junk of the occupiers, from tanks to soldiers in extremely different directions a separate subspecies of such drones can overcome a distance of up to 700 km and fly to moscow, we already use it and our special unit uses it in the kharkiv , kherson, sora direction on the territory of the russian federation, i cannot say where we are it was used, that is, it is already at work to produce such drones, perhaps from 100 to 1000 pieces per month, although the need for the armed forces is several times greater than dozens per day at the moment. it works as a mikaze drone in plans to develop the bomber format . they are testing a guidance system that works on artificial intelligence, this is a system that will actually perform the task from the point of view of the operator , which means on the tablet to prove, er , to track the target first of all, even

if it is moving, that is, to prove these drones to bring the combat unit to the impression and this is a crane in the sky and on the ground, among the advantages is invisibility for the enemy, especially in the field , the platform is controlled remotely and is capable of developing speeds of up to 50 km/h. maybe a copy of the kit can be used as an observer, there is a camera to install and observe, the evaluators presented during an expert meeting on ground robotic systems earlier in the ministry of defense created an accelerator for collection and implementation in the army the latest technologies and communication with industry experts from sun currently need all possible means that can save lives, the greatest demand is for

technological solutions that allow, firstly, to preserve personnel, secondly, to provide situational business, business on the actions and location of the enemy , and thirdly, e to provide an opportunity to destroy it with high-precision strikes or other means, priority is placed on reconnaissance drones, robotic platforms, kamikaze drones, and ammunition drop systems in the ministry of defense consider only thanks to technological superiority, ukraine is able to win this war with russia valeriya pashko andriy verstyuk espresso tv channel in 12 hours more than a million hryvnias for the army khmelnytskyi blogger andriy held a stream where he collected money for a hundred kamikaze drones for the armed forces of ukraine, the drones will be handed over to our

defenders through a charity fund already in american abrams tanks may arrive in ukraine in september , politiko reports with reference to own sources, the first batches will deliver 6 to 8 tanks in august they will be sent to germany, where they will undergo final modernization, as soon as this process is completed, the armored car will be delivered to ukraine in general. the us plans to send 31 abrams before the ukrainian military begins to operate the tanks. they must complete a 10- week training course in germany. and we have a new urgent collection for the front for our defenders from the 27th separate rifle battalion, we really need a car, they are fighting in the eastern direction, where there are

fierce battles, our goal is uah 400,000, together with you, we have already closed a lot of volunteer assembly and defenders are grateful for our contribution to the fight against the occupiers. we ask you to donate actively this time too, because without you we will not be able to cope, every hryvnia is important, we have managed to collect more than 80,000 hryvnias at this moment, but in order to get more than 300, we need to donate, remember that only together we we will be able to bring our victory over the enemy closer for the moment, that's all the news andriy saichuk and lesya vakulyuk will continue the live broadcast espresso so, dear friends, we are coming back and as promised the day before , we will now tell you about how in

russia, uh, they say that we need to cover today is how to comment on it, and today i will remind you of the day of the baptism of russia in the year 900 of god in the 88th year. this is how it happened . well, of course, russia in the world believes that this is her day , and in particular, in those manuals that are distributed, it is said that it must be said that the nazi satanists have gained a foothold in the holy russian city of kiev. this was found out by the medusa publication, which russian publication positions itself as an oppositional publication and in particular contains these instructions , the propagandist said to the russians, even explain what exactly vladimir putin is vladimir, that is as if he returned to russia the mission to protect the orthodox faith - today our country suffers from the basic satanic regime

. the kiev regime civilly destroys orthodoxy on the territory of ukraine, puts direct pressure on the priest and selects churches. faith and thunderous fronts of neo-nazis who worship the occult ideas of hitler and bandera well, as we know, they thunder not only neo-nazis, but even their churches like this they saved the transfiguration cathedral in odesa with a rocket, and then they didn't know, well, their representatives in ukraine , the uoc mp, didn't know how to comment on all this. well, let's talk about it in particular, and i don't remember the pope, kliment seems to be there they literally fought with heretics and vertices at that time. that's who they were. i don't remember until now either. well, the word was

that they besieged the city and he says well, he must say that the pope says to decide three and all of them . and he says to him, well, if the commander, the general says well, they say otherwise, there are such normal catholics who are zealous and say, kill them all in a row, god in heaven will figure it out. this is the story , they will probably prove it just like that, well , let's kill them all in a row. and in heaven, we will already find out who was a nazi and who was orthodox christian well, somewhere in this plan about water and what is happening now in the ukrainian orthodox church of the moscow patriarchate, and there, by the way , the priests of this church signed an appeal that they want to openly renounce the russian orthodox church and instead of support this appeal and put your signatures , on the contrary, they are now being persecuted, we will talk about it all with oleg turiem, director of the institute of church history of the ukrainian catholic

university, mr. oleg we welcome you, we hear you and see everything perfectly, we hope that you can also hear and see us, russian teachers what was that pope's name? by the way, i don't remember, but there are many, many such legends. it's true , russian textbooks about today's day , the baptism of russia, say that you should tell your faithful, those who sit will be to sit faithfully in front of the tv screens or read faithfully from their e-e all kinds of newspapers and online publications, to write about the fact that today is a key turning point in russian history and the point of formation of statehood, and propagandists should also emphasize that it was

the common faith that allowed the east slavic tribes to become one by the people of such and such a celebration of the baptism of russia in russia as if there is nothing new or is there something new in this absolutely no there is nothing new it is as if the imposition of this imperial concept of the fact that moscow is the heir of the ancient kyiv state and more later it was packed into so also the fact that moscow is the third rome. that is, this is a typical imperial logic according to which everything, so to speak , is somehow captured by this empire or what she pretends to be related to her education, her modernity, and well, you know, i don’t even want to refute it, because, strangely enough , this imperial scheme later took hold quite successfully in the soviet interpretation

of history, and there was less talk about joint baptism, but about a joint cradle and about the truth, three brotherly peoples have now again returned to the night people. that is, we see these attempts to combine in the modern ideology and propaganda of russia both ancient imperial and soviet stereos, which are obviously not based on historical facts, which are rather built on an inverted understanding of history. and by the way, what to talk about this particular day, uh, can we say that on this particular day, something happened somewhere, i don’t know, on the dnieper schemes, and why, and we count down our statehood, as we have been suggested to do recently. well, look absolutely not, not quite. well, this is a completely wrong understanding of what happened in kyiv in 988. in this, historians

more or less agree that some important event took place. in our imagination, the image of the people of kyiv entering the river and whom the priests are strengthening with polite water appears, and in this way, if the baptism of the kyivans takes place, which is obviously understood as a kind of turning point in the christianization of the entire kyiv state and its established properties, it is necessary to understand that from historical sources we know very little about the circumstances of the conversion of prince volodymyr himself, it is known that he became a christian, but in regard to where and at what moment he was baptized is still in the history of geography, the duration of the dispute because there is no exact information because if the date of vladimir's baptism was chosen, so to speak, very symbolically, it is connected, as it were, with his glorification as a saint and is tied to this date, and there is another alternative date in

the month of august, which is also historically was celebrated in ukraine and especially in the ukrainian diaspora, well, it is obvious that it is best to celebrate such a date in the summer, because this image of the baptism of a kyivan in water is in no way connected with the fishing period. sources, this happened to me already after we returned , prince volodymyr himself, moreover, the baptism of kyivans did not mean that all kyivans were baptized at that moment, we know that christianity existed on the lands of modern ukraine from the times close to the apostolic times, starting with the crimea. and then we we have a lot of evidence that there were christians even before prince volodymyr. thus, this is this date, this is the event of the baptism of the people of kyiv. rather, it meant exactly this turning point in the history of the kyiv state, i.e., that christianity became its state religion. in this sense, we can certainly talk about those

the connection between baptism and statehood, only not russian statehood, but the statehood of kiev statehood, russian statehood, now we used the word ukrainian statehood, actually , mr. head, so little, i want so wide the framework of the question was asked not so long ago, if olesya is not against it, i will tell you about it, and the poles were asked to explain it, and why , how do ukrainians perceive the volyn events, not historians, but let's say, well, i don't know, the middle class, the intelligentsia, a view, if from the inside, we we tried to formulate it with lesya, we published it in poland, and after that one of the readers of the electoral newspaper wrote a comment to lesya , saying that there was something about that and why do you stick to that bandera and that unr and so on , you have kyivska rus, so take it why?

you can't derive your identity from a report, so to speak, and here i would redirect this question to you, the only thing i would note is that when we were doing the project, great ukrainians, if you remember . for example, the format was bought from a great british company, and how i myself, as a participant in that project, wrote the script to one of the films i have no doubts, as i think most ukrainians think, that the results were rigged and falsified behind this parking lot will be dmytro tabachnyk and he took out whoever he wanted he thought was necessary and it was precisely if you remember the dispute was around bandera yaroslav, yaroslav the wise, and it’s also tax-free, i won the majority of votes, and it’s not by chance. it’s very difficult for us to separate russian myths at that stage, but i’ll forward the question to you anyway, what is the difficulty in identifying yourself through kyivan rus, if this term is in

principle okay, well look, it's difficult, the difficulties arise at the conceptual level, eh, at the conceptual level, and especially obviously, in the western history of geography. and this conceptual level is also connected with the literature that is available. one austrian professor who was very sympathetic to ukraine and generally wrote articles, you know, in such a positive sense, but from time to time, you know, there were some borrowings like the one you are talking about, and i once complained to him about it i say, well, you already know so much. you already understand so much. you are almost like our husband, but nevertheless, from time to time something like this happens to you. he says you should just go to the library and see what books are there and read. if you have 100 books which they say about some event, some pamphlet is also written to the polemical tony, which says something alternative. well, you are involuntarily like a person who is searching, so to speak , that the truth is somewhere. in the middle, there is a desire to listen to this dominant point of view

, that is, our statelessness lasted, it led to what others said for us, our history was written for us by others, and because of that we very often become hostages of these megatheves . do you understand that if history is approached seriously as a science and not as a propaganda material and manipulations well then the truth is on our side i.e. the arguments are here yes i.e. everyone understands that the simple fact that moscow appeared because of more than more than yes well if so take it there for several hundreds of years, yes, 1,100 there, it is the 47th year after kyiv . well, this already removes the question of who is the center, and who is the outskirts, who is the periphery, and who is the center, and so on. well, and many other things,

the comparison with other states, that is, us i think it is necessary to establish consciousness in ukraine as well, but to establish it on solid, normal historical facts. and that it is very important to speak to the whole world without polemicizing, but simply presenting the point of view, so to speak, which is based on real historical facts, and then i think it is too early or the time will come late when these propagandists and falsifiers of history will turn out to be marginalized, and not us, well, but they write tragedies then, if you allow me, i will still comment on a small fragment , we must understand this, so to speak, different the optics that are poles cannot understand that in ukraine they started talking about the volyn tragedy only after ukraine became independent throughout the soviet period in general it was not possible to talk about it as and in general and about any, so to speak, alternative to the soviet point of view of history instead in

poland i'm sorry , maybe i do n't have time... people who are interested in history. they are not indifferent to it, and they also said that someone said that i studied in a gymnasium and we didn't know much about the volyn tragedy ; moreover, my father is from volyn, and he did not teach about the volyn tragedy in soviet school he didn't learn anything at the soviet institute, his grandmother told him what it was like, but today it's not about the volyn tragedy , we're still going back to our modern affairs, and even on that occasion, there are still interesting events taking place in the uoc mp after that how did the missile hit the savior and transfiguration cathedral in odesa, russian and the priests of the moscow patriarchate actually gathered

, there is an interesting video because one of them asks who came from where, let's just look and then i will comment on where they came to whom and why, please tell me where you came from , please pervomaisk voznesensk diocese mykolaiv oblast kyiv kyiv diocese kyiv city pervomaisk khmelnytskyi diocese chernivtsi diocese volyn diocese well, i'm from the sarnensky diocese, thank you

mykolaivshchyna in sumyshchyna, we came to kyivshchyna they came to onufry, brought an appeal, collected signatures, there was a lot of people who said that they still want to separate from the russian orthodox church and disassociate themselves, and they say that the parishioners don't quite understand such quick-temperedness because certain processes are taking place in the country e- if you can call the war that way, and the church stands its ground, and onuphrius, whether he was absent or did he not have time , listened to their er bishops mark er and allegedly listened, but then those priests began to receive such letters in which, well, letters documents, official church decrees for self-inflicted actions that manifest as disobedience in your ruling bishop, then some contradict your priestly oaths , you will be issued a warning in case of repeated violation , you will be banned from the sacred service

, this is what happened to priest oleksiy bekketova , for example, from sumyshchyna, he is from the konotop diocese metropolitan konotopskyi glukhivskyi of the ukrainian orthodox church of the moscow patriarchate sent him this, can there be a split in the end of the ukrainian orthodox church so much big, so that really, well, most of the priests just said their firm no and went to the ptu, how realistic is it? look, the process that i seem to be going on even in a comment to you, or perhaps in some other comment about which i said that the crisis that orthodoxy has in particular, in that church that was under the jurisdiction of the moscow patriarchate or still is, as far as we understand , it is precisely that the vast majority

of believers, and even i do not have accurate statistics for them, but i assume that even the clergy, these are people who are not just ukrainian citizens or ukrainians by their national self-awareness, belonging, and so on, but they are those who are ready to defend ukraine and protect it and care about its well-being and want to be, so to speak, with all the people, and the problem is obviously in the hierarchy that was formed, so to speak, in the bosom of the legal jurisdictional structure of another state, and which is still oriented towards the state on these models and on these standards, so to speak , even of behavior, and it seems to me that here it is just a logical consequence of this huge internal crisis and it will develop in this way, it seems to me that this small handful of tihierarchs and priests who are loyal to them will simply be marginalized

and the vast majority will break with this structure, so to speak, which even sometimes it is very difficult to call a church which does not respond adequately to the pain and suffering caused by russian aggression in the ukrainian people. but not only that, it does not help people who want to feed themselves with sources of faith on the contrary, it can be said that it disorients them and disappoints them , and that is why the question is simply, it seems to me that it is time when it will happen , how it will happen, how it will happen to you, but the number of events and such statements and such facts, so to speak, which this church is being discredited more and more, and that's why. well, i don't know. look, you gave an example of an attack on, well, a missile attack on the salvation cathedral of the transfiguration cathedral. for me , the statement of metropolitan hafangel

, who was known for his kind, was completely unexpected for me. well, you just know excessive pro-russian position, and here suddenly in his statement we read something that we do not find in the words of onufry. i do not want to interpret this as a very big personal conversion of the farmer , the lord is his judge, but even the very fact that a person who is directly close to these events in such a way on he reacts to them, he testifies that this so-called russian propaganda no longer works even in nona, those who have been loyal to moscow for decades . to say what is this sign from the sky saw bam well, i think well, for sure, after all, it is uh , there can be many interpretations, i am interested in the facts, even though he did not write
