in the dnipropetrovsk region with the girl , fortunately, everything is fine, she is alive and well, and the most important thing is that the child has not become a victim of a crime and is already with her family until nastya found the words quite quickly and managed to do it in many ways thanks to the timely appeal of her mother, the woman did not hesitate and immediately reported her daughter's disappearance. now we cannot tell all the details of this story , but once again i emphasize that if god forbid if your child goes missing, don't waste a single second and immediately report it to the police and the magnolia children's search service. in such situations, without exaggeration, every minute is important, so please remember. and it's better to write down the hotline number of the children's search service 116,000 zero calls of all mobile operators in ukraine are free, may you never need this number, but

it is necessary to know it just in case. what prompted nastya to leave home is still unknown. but in her teenage years, she went to the village for various reasons this happens to boys and girls most often, and we know many such stories, one of them is actually the story of 15-year -old alina, she is also from the dnipropetrovsk region . fortunately, the girl has already been found and disappeared . under rather mysterious circumstances, alina left the house and warned that she was going to visit to her friend, but she did not return home, she did not come, neither that nor the next day, the parents sounded the alarm, of course, they immediately ran to the friend whom alina went to visit, and it turned out that she had also disappeared. it is obvious that the girls disappeared together, the search began urgently, in which, of course, the child tracing service joined, and fortunately , alina's friend was found quite quickly at the station in the city of dnipro. it turned out that the girls decided to run away from home, but where

is her friend, unfortunately, nothing i knew, despite the fact that the girlfriend was found , there were still almost no clues about where alina could be, why she decided to run away , the girl's mother also could not explain. sashka, grandma, everything was fine at home. they were looking for alina for almost two weeks, and suddenly a situation occurred that, as they say, you can’t come up with on purpose. alina, being wanted, came to visit her friend, and the boy’s mother saw a program on television about the search for a girl. she came while visiting her friend and this guy, my mother saw on television that she was wanted, that is, a video clip and how

alina came to them, her mother immediately called the village council, the village council already called the police and the police came already she was taken away, and this story is another proof of how important it is to quickly spread information about the search for a child, it really gives results and sometimes becomes decisive in the search , so i once again urge you to spread information about missing boys and girls on your pages in social networks, this is the least you can do but this kind of activity of yours can actually help to find a missing child freedom to frankly and impartially draw conclusions yourself so that ukrainians do not think about so that they do not speak in the first place war, war, and our victory are still available only on espresso. from monday to monday, completely different spheres of human activity, sports , health, politics, the return of crimea, military

a fire started at a factory near moscow due to a drone strike, and the russian media write that the video of the fire may be a fake, what actually happened, zelensky is running for a second term if such a presidential election is held in ukraine during the war, the current president plans to take part in them, is it a good idea to hold elections before the end of hostilities and will the expression of will really be free? an exclusive interview of the radio freedom-scheme project with the new governor of the kyiv pechersk lavra, avraamiy , reveals new details about what happened in the monastery during the time of its lease by the moscow patriarchate, see svoboda life about all this today near moscow , a workshop for the production of electronics for russian missiles was allegedly on fire, this is evidenced by the video that

spread on russian social media in the morning this was confirmed by ukrainian pravda's interlocutors at the ministry of defense of ukraine this morning, moscow mayor serhiy sobyanin reported that russian air defense forces allegedly shot down an unknown drone on the approach to moscow near lyubertsy, where the mylen electronic plant is located , which can manufacture electronics for russian missiles in gur does not confirm that it was they who carried out the operation, but their spokesperson in a comment to ukrainian pravda denied that the drone was allegedly shot down and also stated that on the plant in the suburbs of moscow really cite blossomed cotton well, the adviser to the head of the office of the president of ukraine mykhailo podolyak said that the number of drone strikes on the territory of russia will increase, the number of attacks by unmanned drones launched from the territory of the russian federation and the number of these attacks will increase because in in principle, this stage of the war and this is the third gradual transfer of hostilities to the territory of the russian federation, a little later the russian

pro-government telegram channel shot published a video that allegedly denies that there was a fire at the milnytsk plant, the shot channel claims that the video of the fire is actually from last year and that his impression and that impression by the workshop drone are allegedly fake . now let's try to figure out what really happened to us live, public activist and former battalion company commander aidar yevgen dykiy congratulations glory to ukraine glory to the heroes let's try to understand at least based on what is in the public domain what happened today in the suburbs of moscow , did an explosion really happen there and well, how to evaluate what there is already a reaction, it seems. and how are you and i going to figure this out? i apologize, we can , at least as i understand it, compare the statements of the parties , what do you think happened or do we have to wait?

we already have to wait, for example, for the examination of the video that is laid out, in principle, to establish whether it is current or last year, it is not such a difficult technical task nowadays, and i think that there are already some amateurs and those who generally analyze all the eyes posted on the network, photos and a video from this war. i think that someone has already done this analysis, maybe there is another video. well, in general, this is a slightly atypical situation when there is only one video , usually there are many of them, but at least a few uh, on the other side, uh, this is a small town it's still a small town, and it may well be that there weren't many people filming, so in addition , satellite images of the factory may appear. and if there really was a fire on such a scale as we see in this video then e hide it on it will be impossible for a satellite image to see at least one burned-out building there, well, i waited for this, but the principle and what does this fundamentally change, in fact, it is quite clear

that this plant is, let’s say, a desirable target for us, it is a very desirable target, and if even they didn't get it the first time well, that means we're just waiting for the next arrivals if we actually analyze the statement of andriyusov , the spokesman of the gur, if my memory serves me correctly , before, eh, the gur did not allow themselves any such statements that they tried to quickly refute , if it succeeds, it will be the first time to refute it. am i i'm wrong. it seems to me that this will be the first time. that's why, after all, i'd rather rely on the statement of the hurivites for the time being. especially since, in principle, it's their specialization to get objects in the depths of russia, mother . they have recently achieved, well, very significant in fact, let's remember another factory that was 100% impressed . this is the von l factory, which is the manufacturer of 90% of russian-made microchips in general and 100%

of microchips specifically for the defense industry . unfortunately, the plant was not destroyed, but the impression is there there were definitely satellite images that confirm this, that is, the beginning has been made. it’s just a really big factory there, one drone was not enough for him, let’s say, but so far there is at least one working sector, but again, the road has been laid, the coordinates have been checked , uh, next, we will remember the very successful work of our hurivians, i would say in the field of anti-aircraft forces, that is the destruction of russia , how many are there in the last two weeks that we have at least four confirmed strategic bombers and what- and for one and the strike the day before yesterday the day before yesterday four destroyed transport il-76s, that is, well, very effectively, and this is all precisely in the russian countryside, but they write, what else was there, well, actually pskov, this last one. by the way, in

pskov today, something interesting happened again. at least the work of the local airfield is clearly visible on the video footage, you can’t confuse this with anything, just a lot of large-caliber machine guns that are hitting some invisible target in the sky, that is, at least there, exactly what is going there, well, the angle, whether it flew and where it hit, so far it is difficult to judge, well that is, let's say such a massive company went to uh, uh, to uh, develop russian airspace by ukrainian roads, mr. evgeny, i just want to ask you , i really also noticed that this happens more often lately. finally, we can, er, in fact, the question of the need to transfer the war to the territory of the enemy , it stands at the beginning of that war , it is generally an asis.

of people, it's not only about the moral and psychological impact on the enemy , but it's also, well, such a direct general military necessity, uh, to destroy the enemy's rear facilities below the enemy's defense industry facilities, not to allow him to replenish the stockpiles of weapons in this way. this is the collapse of military affairs. what is the key to victory is to fight not on one's territory, but on a fortune teller. unfortunately, we faced a completely unexpected problem in this sense, this is with the position of our western allies, first of all, the united states of america, this position is is extremely categorically, we are categorically forbidden for our military unit to cross the border of russia and fight on the territory of russia itself, we are categorically forbidden to use any weapons or ammunition provided by the allies on the territory of russia, this is an absurd prohibition, it has no basis, let's say , not in international law, not a single convention in the world

does not contain norms that would, for some reason, allow one country to fight on the territory of another, but on the contrary, no, well, there is simply no such thing and it cannot be, because it is absurd. likewise, from a moral and ethical point of view, these restrictions absolutely absolutely, but they also really interfere with us, they really bind us by the hands and feet. it is almost like fighting in the ring with one, but the reality is what it is . unfortunately, we did not prepare for this great war and it is solely our fault. therefore, now we are completely we depend on the supply of ammunition and weapons from our allies, and these allies can set us any conditions , including absolutely immoral and absolutely absurd ones, as in this case, i just have to remind you that ukraine really does not officially recognize strikes on the territory of russia in particular, you have your own mr. yevhen, i understand, there is no doubt that , for example, gur conducts special operations, but officially the band

does not take this responsibility on itself , please continue. and they are allowed to be by allies who, as i will remind you once again, prohibit the use of anything on them in russia, but do not even provide a whole range of weapons, for example, the same atkus missiles or taurus missiles, simply fearing that we will someday violate this ban although we have never violated it. by the way, there is an unofficial agreement that if we fasten something ourselves, after all, the restrictions do not apply. what we have already done here is that we launch it wherever we want, and that is why, in fact , from around may june of last year, it became it is clear that we are not given a long arm , which means that we have to grow it ourselves, and in fact it is a real black. last year, the work of many ukrainian teams went, these teams are very different, we will not name

them now. factories are state-owned and some large private enterprises and even a bunch of such, you know , garage start-ups, volunteer ones. and by the way, the latter sometimes do better than the first, yes, there are actually tens of them in ukraine, about 100 teams work with rhododendrons , but most of them still work still over tactical drones directly for the front, but the smallest couple of dozens of teams work on long-range fractions, this includes naval drones and air drones in naval aviation, we can say that we are currently setting the world trend. this is absolutely not will be an exaggeration. we are currently the country that has the largest experience in the world and unmatched by any other country in the real combat use of naval drones and quite serious successes in this regard . well, it starts with the damage of several large russian ships and ends the damage to the crimean bridge, by the way, the attack of a marine drone on an infrastructure object is the first time in

the world, yes, in the sea dredging, we have already actually won the first place in aerial diy, of course, in one year we have not have caught up with the work that some companies have been doing for decades, but you know, long before that, we were already producing a number of models that are in no way inferior to, for example, the same martyrs of paradise, which are currently one of the key elements in the russian strategy in general. he is mine against us, so far that we can actually overcome only one barrier on the by the way, for example, our beavers are this, this, this model can already be called, it was clearly noticed right there in the moscow city, so our beavers are definitely better than the shaheds in terms of their characteristics, but there is one problem we so far, we cannot move from prototypes and small-scale production to a large-scale assembly line

, but the shafts are just blown away by the fact that they are produced in very large quantities, and this production is also such news that it has already been transferred to russia. unfortunately, i don't have much time, i want to clarify with you very briefly, there is another message from a japanese publication that news reported that russia seems to be moving s-300 air defense equipment from the two kuril islands, which are now in the underwater territory between the russian federation and japan, well, in the same place this publication comes to the conclusion that this may mean that russia will run out of air defense equipment. is this, what do you think, or could it be true ? first of all, no, it’s all very simple, all real effective russian air defense is currently in our occupied territories and on the front line. uh, we saw for ourselves that they have nothing to cover even moscow, not to mention other objects somewhere in the russian hinterland. and if

they are already grazing the japanese border, well, this is more than indicative, thank you very much that we were able to reach our ether with you to discuss the latest news, in fact, about the explosion on the territory of the russian federation and ukraine's ability to carry it out, let me remind you that ukraine does not officially recognize that it is carrying out attacks on the territory of the russian federation. we were contacted by yevgeny the wild activist, the former commander of the aydar battalion company . volodymyr zelenskyi will not abandon the state like this that he will run for president again if elections are held in ukraine during the war. he said this in an interview with the portuguese public television rtp . let me remind you that they are talking about the possibility of holding elections even before the end of martial law the last few months and already the president of ukraine seems not to rule it out. let's remember what preceded this in the 24th year . if there is a war and if elections

are held, i will never in my life leave my country because i am the guarantor of the constitution and i am its defend in any case officially confirms for the first time his intentions to participate in the next presidential elections in ukraine , although during the previous election campaign he promised that he would not go for a second term according to the constitution, the next parliamentary elections were to be held in ukraine in october 2023, and the presidential elections in march 2024. and although the main law of the country does not provide for an expression of will . in the conditions of martial law, the western allies of ukraine have repeatedly hinted that they would like to hold elections despite the war. i want

free and fair elections to be held in this country even under at the time of the attack on it, the american people should know that ukraine has changed in the past it was a very corrupt country but we monitor every dollar every weapon we continue to contribute example declared an american senator in kyiv on the eve of the 32nd anniversary of independence, giving a briefing in a warehouse due to an air raid. the very next day, the secretary of the nsdc, oleksiy danilov , in an interview with radio svoboda, stated that ukraine will hold elections only on the condition that hostilities during the war end . quite a difficult thing because once again this is about justice, the state must ensure the voting of all visa-free citizens who have the right to do so, and during the war it is extremely difficult to do so, that is why we will act according to by the law of our country, that is, by our constitution, and we will determine when we should hold elections in accordance with our legislation and not

according to the wishes of one or another of our respected partners who believe that we can violate our laws. at the same time, president zelenskyi reacted to such statements by the american senator with the words about the fact that ukraine is ready to hold elections in conditions of full-scale russian aggression and even make appropriate changes to the legislation but under the conditions of active participation in the event itself, including the financial one, if i told him, make it for me give 5 billion, and it seems to me that this is the amount needed to hold elections in normal time. i'm sorry, i'm not asking for anything to hold elections on credit, i won't take money from weapons and give them for elections, and the most important thing is, well, let's take risks together then, and as observers

should be in the trenches about the need to hold elections in ukraine even in the conditions of martial law, for the first time president tony cox publicly stated on the eve of the summit of the council of europe in may of this year, according to him, no one will have any complaints against ukraine if it turns out not very well ideally, instead, everyone will have complaints if ukraine does not hold elections. you must hold free and fair elections because this is your obligation under the statute of the council of europe and of course you will do it. of course you have problems , you have martial law and the constitution does not allow elections to be held under these conditions, so it is up to you to solve this challenge, it is not our question to indicate how to do it, but of course ukraine must organize free and fair elections since then, the topic of possible elections in ukraine until the end of the war with various activities, but remains in the focus of attention of officials and media, despite the fact that opinions in the expert environment agree that elections are impossible as long as the war continues, and not only because the law or the constitution prohibits it, but

also because according to international humanitarian law, the state cannot endanger the life and health of the civilian population by mobilizing them to the elections, however, is it possible to hold elections during the war and who can win from this, let's talk further with us , political scientist petro oleschuk, congratulations, congratulations. what is your personal idea of ​​holding elections already in 2024, again, we don't know how long hostilities will continue if they stop by this moment, i don't see any problems . and if they don't stop, then if we actually say that the war will continue next year, and holding elections during hostilities is currently prohibited by the current legislation of ukraine, can this legislation be

theoretically changed so what will this change bring to us? i think that it will bring a lot of problems and so far i see that the number of problems outweighs any motivations for doing this, that is, changing the legislation. and as you can see from the comments that volodymyr zelenskyi he has already touched on this topic twice in large interviews. and do you see a desire in him for these elections to take place or not? well, why ? i think that in principle, if there were suitable conditions, then i think that the president of ukraine zelenskyi would go to these elections. well, at least he already understands so much, he declared that if the hostilities continue accordingly, he will take part in re-election to this position. i think that, in principle , from a purely political point of view, the elections

should not look like him personally something threatening, moreover, i think that right now he would have good enough potential theoretical and political opportunities in order to convert all this political capital, for example, votes and support, but we understand that the challenges here are not only for him personally and first of all not for him personally, but for the entire ukrainian statehood, and we must take this into account first of all. do you see a threat that volodymyr , so to speak, or his team, maybe his advisers see it as the opposite, as an opportunity to hold elections during the elections, they see that the support rating is high, perhaps they are not sure that he will hold on after the end of hostilities, and in fact they will advocate for holding them, since it may be in their favor , on the contrary.

had some other considerations on this matter, then he might have relied on a different rhetoric. but you and i must understand that there are actually a lot of potential challenges for him personally, and honestly speaking, a significant part no one speaks of these challenges in our country, and even more so our partners do not speak, well, the most obvious challenge for me is how to organize work during the war , during the recent shelling, the work of polling stations, that is, certain, let's say, units that are clearly placed according to a certain defined according to a certain a specified address when we have already seen , for example, the situation in chernihiv, when any event with a clear address and a clear time is a suitable object for a russian missile attack. do you think these people in the west who actually speak in public , zelenskyi gray, in particular, a republican senator, the american president-pariah tinie
