dedicated to the exit of people from irpin, and everyone here here are presented 13 dolls, 13 of these textile sculptures, which symbolize different archetypes of people who left or stayed in irpen during the occupation. we can see the mother, she is pregnant and her two children and the cat, that's why there are five of them, and this doll is such an archetype of veronichka, with whom mystkini was leaving the ivpen together, and she told her in such a dark, dark car operation that she is in the second grade and they talked so that both of them would not be afraid. also, here we can see such a grandmother , and it is very interesting that many visitors to this

exhibition say that each of them recognizes this grandmother as their own grandmother. attention that all these archetypes, they are all very interesting and have interesting details, handkerchiefs, sticks, pets , some even have gold teeth, and i also suggest moving to another part of the exhibition to such a final installation that ends this entire art show. is called the exit and here we can see here are people who have already moved from irpen to kyiv to a part that was considered relatively safe behind us we see a picture this is a famous bridge that was blown up from which they got out by detours and by the way these are graphic pictures they are behind all the dolls this

to feel yourself in irpen and see your neighbors, your acquaintances, and the most interesting part of this exhibition is probably the mother of mrs. oksana, she is the sculpture called hide me, and i suggest you hear more about her now from the mystic who created it, she started me ask hide me, how do you hide her, she hide me, she addressed me as an elder, namely as a little girl, and i have a photo of her on facebook. hide it again and i threw a big blanket over her and say now i hid it now i hid it, it's very interesting, really, that this mother's things are made in some places from parts of oksana's mother's clothes, and very such an interesting and amazing story,

oksana has not worked with this sculpture before when i finished this this row of pictures, i think there are 13 of them here. there should have been a little more. however , we did not find inspiration for everything , and we asked for 13 archetypes. this is not a symbolic number, but it is very, very enough to show the central images. i also want to emphasize so that people notice that this this sculpture is so much grayer than all the others, and the exhibition also begins with a gray sculpture of a man, because these are the two heroes of this exhibition who, unfortunately, are no longer alive. to this i have everything in the studio thank you from the capital

espresso correspondent kateryna galko about the doll exhibition called the turn to irpin in the lviv region, the memory of father ivan pasternak and his family was honored, he devoted more than 20 years of his life to serving people accompanied by the galician academic choir, local residents gave tribute to the priest according to the organizer iryna kiyanka the purpose of the event is to promote local stories and values ​​of the ukrainian village at the beginning of the full-scale war three military natives of the village of zibolki died at the front. this was a father who was very worried about the people of his parish and was very careful about it. this year we are 625 years old. he founded the village together. i want to show how important our local history is today, because these guys stand for every church and every glorious event. which took place on their territory and the husband of the gracious vitaly andriyovych, he was captured

on april 12, 22 of the year in the city of mariupol, it has been 17 months, we are simply extremely waiting for him , hundreds of enthusiasts have joined the search for the mythical loch nes monster, or it's affectionately called it's the biggest hunt in more than half a century, participants fly drones with infrared cameras and armed with hydrophones to detect underwater sounds , but on saturday heavy rain disrupted the search so they continue today 4 years ago, scientists examined dna from the lake and concluded that the legendary monster could to be a giant eel in the century chased a water beast from the shores of loch ness, and 90 years ago, aldie mackay provoked a global phenomenon of neci. and as

i said, in 2020, the sonar caught an object the size of transit vans. so, over the centuries, things have happened in lohnetka that we cannot explain. the next issue will be at 6 p.m. the news editor is monitoring what is happening in ukraine and the world and will tell you about the most important. welcome to the espresso channel. today, in our military program, we will to talk about the main topic of our offensive, and also about what the format of a war of attrition means for ukraine and our partners, as well as for the enemy of russia , because now, in my opinion, it is a somewhat strange period , because in western comments it has begun to assert itself

the narrative that the offensive of the armed forces in the south revolves around disappointment, they say that they gave so many weapons and not enough progress. so, the joy is that you concentrate your efforts in one point, the children are more active in the direction of melitopol and think less about losses, but in such situations it is important to pay attention, for sure, not to politicians or unnamed officials the pentagon or the white house and on specific practitioners with experience and in contrast to these but army publications , yesterday in the same washington post published an article by general petraeus entitled ukrainian counteroffensive may still surprise of petra's critics, this is in the former commander of the collection forces in afghanistan and the former head of the cia, and probably one of the most famous and respected american soldiers, and he says several important things.

by desire or plan, and therefore prematurely, this excessive pessimism due to the seemingly slow advance of the ukrainians is absolutely impractical. the second thing the general says is that this is not the end of the ukrainian operation in zaporizhzhia, but its beginning, because the ukrainian operation has been going on for 10 weeks, but on the assumption of petre osa to last at least another four months and the third thing is that he says that ukrainian actions in the south are carried out according to the principle of exhausting, stretching and beating the enemy along the entire front line, and these approaches look quite logical and effective in that they are actually flags, but we will talk about the advice a little later and i will also say that the ukrainian commanders claim that the time for their contrast has not yet passed, and the commander-in-chief of the armed forces, general valery zaluzhnyi, another

powerful american publication refers to him officials of the usa that its troops are on the verge of a breakthrough. so, we will discuss these different points of view on the current front-line reality with our leading experts and military specialists in the next issue of our military program. from the press seeks to highlight current trends in the field of security and defense, and now mykhailo samus is joining us - he is the head of the international analytical organization nu geopoliti-syrisochnik and also the deputy of the research center of the army, conversion and armament, mr. mykhailo, i would like to see and hear you on the air espresso channels, ana sergey, i congratulate you, i am very glad to see you. so, i drew a general picture that was connected with different visions and assessments of what is happening on the field battle and i would like you to give your own angle of what is happening and what are the current and

potential dynamics on the frontline , the athlete did not hear your question, i would like you to evaluate what is happening on the front line and give your own assessment of these dynamics current and potential that can affect the situation on the front line, what exactly is happening from your assessments well, it is actually really strange to read assessments in the western press that you need to focus, for example, on one area or hit at one point, well, that is, uh, of course, people who write such articles they have never studied operational art, strategy, tactics and the like cannot be hit at any point, because really war is not a linear process, war is especially modern - it is uh

multidimensional uh these are multidimensional processes that move, of course, not according to linear laws and when we talk about carrying out various operations that form and prepare a further breakthrough or further decisive operations , all this is interconnected. and of course, you cannot evaluate the pace of progress only by how much territory or which settlements are liberated , all this is much more complicated, and if you look at the front in general er, which stretches for many, many hundreds of kilometers between russia and ukraine, so er, i concluded for myself that russia actually fell into its own trap , this trap is called the predominance of the military

political and propaganda goals over the actual military and military-aesthetic goals of this operation, and when the russians, for example, created their own mythology around bakhmut , believing that it is such a center, the center of gravity, the center of gravity of ukrainian defense, if, for example, bakhmut falls, the ukrainian defense will collapse, they invested -e just in the operation a-a for the occupation of bahmut , well, huge resources, including the wagnerites, who actually under the same bahmut also destroyed the same mythology in fact is now being created around kupyansk and around this area, that is, they initially declared that they are now breaking through the defenses, and near kupyansk they are now creating conditions when the ukrainian defense crumbles , the ukrainian command will be forced to withdraw reserves from the south and from the same bakhmut direction, and in this way russia will seize the initiative and start an operation again in

the kharkiv region to seize kharkiv itself and create a new group that will threaten kramatorsk and slavyansk and at the same time stop the possibilities altogether will stop any opportunities for the ukrainian offensive in the eastern direction, in the bakhmut direction and in the southern direction, including the kherson region, after getting there, that is, they created a propagandist -propagandist reality and which they now have to follow, that is, they continue despite the fact that the ukrainian forces are creating enormous tension on the in several directions in the south and under bakhmut, they continue to burn their reserves in the direction of kupyan, they send more and more forces there, still trying to implement the the plan that they made public in fact and in which they joined in order to implement it, but we see that it leads to the fact that they cannot create a sufficient supply of reserves in the south, now there if you take

the tokmak direction, for example, they feel a real real deficit and a real i i wouldn't say panic, but a commotion , which means that they really don't know how they will stop the ukrainian invasion , the same thing is happening in the berdyan direction , although the situation is there. i would say more transparent for the russians, but the two directions in the south are very, very tense for the russians, the bakhmut direction is the same, ukrainian troops are moving forward, we know that uh, on the left bank of the kherson region, ukrainian uh, ukrainian special operations forces are carrying out a raid operation and the implementation of measures to expand the gray area zones on the coast , thereby depriving the russians of the opportunity to control the situation there and obviously preparing for larger-scale, more active actions. that is

, it turns out that the russians have created their own paradigm uh, the propaganda and political one that the military is now being asked to follow and thus again fall into the same trap that they fell into under the bahmut, i.e. investing huge reserves now uh in kupyansk and again under the bahmut, they lose the opportunity to stop the ukrainian offensive in the south. i think that the ukrainian troops have really already created the conditions or are very close to the start of a more active movement in the south, but i do not think that this is a sufficient goal, after all, a self-sufficient goal - this is inflicting a strategic defeat on the enemy, and now it is being achieved in several directions, including the kupyan direction, where the russians are spending huge resources without any prospects of achieving the results they are trying to force the ukrainian command to stop the offensive in

the south and withdraw the reserves mr. mykhailo about the fact that the russians actually created their own paradigm and became hostages of this paradigm, and are now throwing resources in different directions without being able to respond promptly on the actions of the ukrainian army but then it turns out that a certain information paradigm is being created by american and european journalism experts who are trying to form three further scenarios there, uh, evaluations, well , the future of actions, the first scenario there - in particular, two countries have reached a dead end, have already entered and must there is to put pressure on russia and ukraine to force the friend to negotiate. there version is that mom's better, let's wait for the results of the ukrainian counteroffensive and then, based on this reality, we will form your own policy in the visa relations of ukraine with the russian federation. well, the third option is that you can say that regardless of what the pace of the ukrainian offensive will be, what the results will be

, the war will be long, and we europeans and americans need to prepare for a long war, prepare defense and to tune in to help ukraine for a certain long time before victory from these three directions of movement. which one do you think will dominate in the near future in order to understand how will our partners conduct themselves by giving us advice or help, it is interesting here, again, it seems to me that the russians want to use various tools, hybrid pressure, propaganda, and other areas of activity, including our western partners, to sell such the idea that russia has unlimited resources, that is, no matter how much ukraine fights , no matter how much our western partners help ukraine, the russians have more resources, that is, they can

spread such information there, they are now er, they are mobilizing 5 million military personnel, and what are you going to do? ukraine will lose, so there is no point in continuing this war. they are still inclined to ukraine to win in order to start negotiations about what kind of frost, that is , the minsk-3 freeze. of course , it will be about unblocking russian financial resources abroad there is no talk of any compensation for the damage caused to ukraine, of course, to remove the question of punishment of war criminals, etc., they lifted sanctions, etc. and against this background, russia can propose there that they stop some active phase of hostilities, and thus, as it were, free the west from

heavy, heavy, such a burden of aid in ukraine, that is, such work is obviously being carried out, judging by what publications appear, what opinions are expressed, including unconscious analysts , that is, these topics are currently being discussed, but this topic it is not new, the russians actually started promoting the topic of freezing the conflict immediately after they realized that on february 24, 2022, a catastrophic mistake was made that led to extremely tragic consequences for the putin regime, i.e. they are trying to advance it somewhere er parallel adapting to the situation somewhere bypassing sanctions but they understand that in any case the situation will not improve for russia, but will worsen, and in this regard, i would like to say right away that this is absolutely not true that in russia, there is an unlimited resource, in russia, the resource is very limited, especially if we talk about

the same heavy equipment, technology, especially high technology, machine tools, and so on, that is, the sensational regime is extremely important here, so indeed they can restore a certain part of the heavy equipment of armored vehicles, they can buy a certain part for example, e-e drones or take the technologies for the production of the same shaheds, but if you look globally e-e , they don’t have so many reserves, so they can’t mobilize 5 million people because then the russian economy will collapse. i understand that putin's regime, in principle, is fine with what will happen to the russian economy, but on the other hand, they have to keep some kind of balance, so it is very important for our western partners to understand that resources in russia are limited , the sanctions regime is extremely important and this war has its own time frame and these time frames exclusively depend on the e -e scale of aid to ukraine, i.e. if

, for example, f16 was handed over to us a year ago, then i think that even now we would be talking about completely different events on the front and we would have a conversation not about linear forecasts of any kind, but still about the conduct of the military to me, as they say, er, that is, an all-out war using all possible spaces, including air space , unfortunately, now russia dominates in air space, and these are problems, including the ones given specific offensive actions offensive operations well, by the way, your conclusion completely coincides with the recommendations that general petraeus gives in this article, because he also talks about the fact that, much earlier, it was necessary to transfer aviation to ukraine, not to delay the transfer rockets sat down and much more ensure the transfer of ammunition to that and we, how did we start asking for cluster ammunition , he says this and as field practice, because i think that these tips are really worth listening to, and this publication, peter, is interesting because it

does not explain to us what is there is happening on the southern front, but it is precisely focused on american and european politicians so that they do not wring their hands and prepare for really such a normal , correct job of accepting what is happening in ukraine, i really hope that there are more and more such publications, i think that actually the ukrainian community should still work more with our european media there so that we form an agenda and not react to those publications that appear in foreign media so absolutely, but of course there is also our ukrainian the choice and our ukrainian dimension is that we really have to prepare for a war of attrition, and again, a war of attrition does not mean that it will last for 15 years. as some forecasters say, given the age of putin, who can really still live for 15 years. it seems to me that

with the doubles he has, it is possible to create a digital clone in general, and in russia it will be accepted as absolutely normal, and this regime can exist as long as this population , which is fascinated by putin's life the country will tolerate exactly such a situation . we have seen that there is already an obvious double at work, that is , the ukrainian context in this ukrainian content of this strategy should be that we really have to pay attention to the optimization of our processes that are taking place and in the state i am talking, for example, about the e-e system of e-e planning of the development of the defense-industrial complex based on the needs of the armed forces of ukraine. the situation with the ministry of static industry is the very active role

of the ministry of digital transformation, for which we can only thank the minister of digital transformation personally fedorov and those people who support all citizens of ukraine and not only ukraine who help to contribute to the projects of the army drones e-e ot 10,000 e-e fp-v drones were recently financed precisely at the expense of donations contributions, but this is not enough to talk about a war of attrition in our country, a state system should work here, it is very cool that the ministry of digital transformation got involved very it's great that people support us and we have a lot of volunteer initiatives, the program all this helps the army, but there must still be a state system, there must be a clear understanding of the needs of the armed forces. for example, if we need a specific type of cluster or with certain

i don't know how to explain it, but there must be a state program that must be coordinated by the ministry of strategic industry, budgeting, and the executors can, of course, be private companies and foreign companies, but there must be that leader and driver which processes in the state should be responsible for precisely these issues. for example, i cannot say clearly now who is responsible for such state programs, and this is actually a problem if we are talking about an intensive war and a war of attrition precisely not in time and because we have to break eh in certain directions of development , especially if you proceed from the fact that we symmetrically will not defeat russia, this is a well-known fact, we have to act asymmetrically, and this asymmetrization needs clear coordination at the state level, because only private initiatives, citizens' initiatives, e.e., individual ministers, and so on, there should still be not enough of a system, it all sounds kind of banal, but still

, we've been at war for e.e., a year and a half, and that's why i think it's possible to find some kind of activity format er, who would help us to form exactly such a systematic paradigm of warfare and not sporadically on the fact that by the way, there is only one question of the minister of technology because society is also somewhat let's say this, the disappointed part is really trying to find the maximum options to help our soldiers on- on the battlefield, and the rest have distanced themselves from it, and i think that there is no such clear grouping at the moment regarding the fact that society , industry, politicians are really determined to conduct hostilities, where everyone has their optimal place regarding their strength possibilities, you are ready to admit that this is not yet available. and this is actually a resource that has not yet been used, but is extremely necessary in order to withstand this russian onslaught, and returning a little to military

operations, did you mention the south, uh, or really
