[000:00:00;00] behind them, including civilians, with the practice of occupying the upper floors with civilians, on the lower floors, on the lower floors, they place their units, or simply in private quarters they house both the equipment and the actual personnel, and these maneuvers are connected with the fact that they it is necessary to supply forces and means to the zaporizhia direction, where they are suffering more, partly under...' reserves are being withdrawn from the temporarily occupied crimea, but we are not observing a critical increase in troops and the creation of strike groups now. thank you very much, it was nataliya gumenyuk, head of the joint coordination press center of the southern defense forces. let's go further, a notebook and a shoebox. thanks to these findings, almost a year and a half later, researchers from chernihiv managed

to identify the names of two brigades and surnames of russian soldiers who occupied the village of velyka doroga in chernihiv region in february and march last year. our correspondents talked with researchers and villagers. here is this notebook 385 that we paid attention and started working with this number. these are copies of the notebook which the russian military wrote down the names and surnames of their wounded or dead soldiers. the original was found in the school of the village of velika. road in chernihiv oblast. we interviewed the employees of this school and one of the employees said that during the cleaning, cleaning up what was left after the occupiers, a notebook was found, there were many notebooks in the school, and one of these soldiers, possibly medics, made his marks some in this notebook, we asked to show this notebook, they brought it to us, we took a photo and in

the future. that we started working with these photographs, the researchers found another find in one of the cellars in the village, where, as yaroslav kiriyenko tells , russians used to move. the russian military used this basement as a shelter, because the walls were quite strong and there were remnants of their things, of course all these dry solders, it was there, they made a stove there so that it was warm. as i understand it, there were things of civilians, of the civilian population, which they took then, and there we found this box with the number of the military unit with the address. the russians occupied the village velika doroha on february 25, 2022. they stayed here for almost a month until march 31, recalls village head kateryna podolyanko. 64 units of armored personnel carriers entered the village on the first day.

there were 11 russian troops on each transporter. the russian occupiers set up their headquarters in a local school. when they entered the school, everything was destroyed. anyway, they made their own hospital downstairs on the first floor, treated their wounded. kateryna podolyanko says that four people died during the occupation of the village. 15 houses were destroyed, 64 were damaged. through russian nina khomenko's house was also hit by shelling. the woman says that before that one of the russian soldiers came to her and threatened to shoot her. he knocks on the door, comes in drunk, and sat the three of us down, and let's bring us up, right away the automatic reloads, it shoots, but i have nothing to kill you now, i'm already asking him, and why are you going to kill us , thanks to the researchers, it was possible to identify two russian brigades, 30 and 385, which were in

the village in march 2022... they have now handed over their findings to law enforcement agencies, so that later identify more russians. oleksandra milashevska, roman repa, chernihiv public news. our weapon, that's the truth. this is a marathon of the only news and social media works with you. at the vanguard of the information front. we are talking about the current events of the russian-ukrainian war. everything will be ukraine. the only news in the center of events. fight against corruption. both the us congress and eu representatives expect from ukraine. this was announced by the spokesman of the united states state department, matthew miller, at the briefing. let's listen. you see members of congress saying they want to see how ukraine takes anti-corruption measures. therefore , it is important that ukraine demonstrates to them that it uses them. eu members say they want this, and so it is important that ukraine demonstrates that it is taking these steps,

but it is also important. for ukraine's ability to build a long-term economy that can withstand the efforts we expect to see. washington is more concerned about corruption in ukraine than it says. about this at the public level, about this, writes the politiko publication, referring to a confidential document that they managed to obtain, and let's we will discuss all this with vitaly shabunin, he is the chairman of the board of the anti-corruption center, mr. vitaly, congratulations and thank you for joining us in the evening, it is late, and the topic is really corruption, we see that it worries many people both in ukraine and in its borders, and what do you think that now, is there really a lot of ukraine now? what is being done, this is what matthew miller said in order to overcome corruption, and these steps are noticeable, this is your opinion, are they noticeable or not? visible, whether ukraine does a lot,

ukraine does, whether it does enough, by electronic declaration, when the parliament voted to restore the declaration, but without the declarations being public, respectively. it made no sense, because society, you journalists, could not check these declarations, and only under the pressure of society the president did not veto, and the deputies were forced to overvote the draft law, and unfortunately there have been many such cases, i do not remember the last 10 years, really no anti-corruption political elite, whether current or previous, it is always either pressure from western partners or pressure society, and often it is obvious that now such a story does not suit either our partners or what is important in the ukrainians themselves.

this is the question, the register of corrupt persons has been opened again in ukraine, i opened the opendatabot ua application, this is an application that shows the data of the registers, and in particular, this register of corrupt persons has interesting data about the number of cases each year, and here we see in particular, in 2020 there are 5,249 cases , in 21, 6,850, in 2022 already 2,585, in 2023, so far 1,586, that is, in your opinion, why did this number of cases decrease over time, after the probably large-scale invasion that took place, with your permission, i would not undertake to compare different years, because the corruption registry is about crime. proceedings and about administrative offenses, a large part of administrative offenses , corruption ones were simply not recorded, because it did not work fully and there was no register of declarations open, judging by these figures

is not quite a relevant story, in my opinion. it is obvious that during the first part of the full-scale invasion, the anti-corruption authorities and the law enforcement system, in general, did not were, if not... they worked in full force, starting sometime in the summer, their work was fully restored, the fact that the efforts of ukraine are visible, their truth is visible, especially the efforts of the law enforcement system, which was created after the revolution of dignity of the anti-corruption, anti-corruption prosecutor's office , are clearly visible . to what causes negative, negative reactions, this. how the parliament votes, what bills the government submits. the latest example, last week the government submitted a bill on the independence of the anti-corruption prosecutor's office. the bill requires the imf, the eu, demanded by western partners, it is on the list

that was recently published by the united states, the requirements state in black and white that there must be institutional independence. unfortunately, there are problems with the connection, an interesting conversation , we're back in less than a minute, we're back on the air and we'll try to continue this topic, and now here's what we're going to talk about: i went to war to protect my family, such is the motivation of a fighter to fight on a pseudo-phish, the man is currently serving in sumy oblast, before that he defended kherson oblast and the eastern directions, how to celebrate the victory and what he dreams about after the end of the war, he told our correspondents, let's see. now you need to think a little with the head of a scout, probably the main weapon is his head, because a scout is not a shooting, it is not a plow, on the contrary, a scout, if he never fired a shot, then he

did his job effectively. the fighter with the call sign phish was not always a scout, a year and a half ago he was in charge of construction, in his spare time he fished, hence his call sign. they approached me and said on the very first day you you need to come up with a summons... i chose phish's offer to serve in the intelligence unit, phish recalls that i accepted it immediately, gathered myself in the evening, was already there in the morning, the full-scale war had been going on for three weeks then. just during these three weeks, we had the opportunity to see what they were doing, what they were producing, and it was clear that it was impossible to stand on the edge, what could happen, a tank was standing by itself, firing at our positions, but it flew in, here is a tank, here is a tower, soon fishy and his comrades got to the kherson area, he fought there for nine months, he says he doesn't remember those days

loves there are such stories, and what the military laughs, the rest of the people will probably not laugh, you know, today i understand exactly this saying, there is something to remember, there is nothing to tell the children, but today i understand it exactly, after the eastern directions, phish with his comrades, he defends the land, says that during the year and a half of the war, the motivation to fight has not decreased, he adds that he knows exactly why he went to war, why i am here, my daughter is young. and i have a beautiful wife, when we all had the opportunity to observe the city and the entire kyiv region, well, it was a moment, and i realized that if they reach us, well, if my girls, they will definitely suffer, and i will not be able to stand there on the side and somehow not climb there, so i needed to go ahead and solve these issues so that they do not even breathe, engage in the rehabilitation of the military, work and rest... somewhere near the lake, he will do this dream fish

after the victory, and i definitely promised everyone and i tell everyone that i will prepare for the victory, i will return to all this, i will prepare a big cauldron of pilaf and simply give it to people for the victory, i believe that i will survive for the first time, and that's it for me mean it's a win. diana krahmatova, andriy kremchenkov, serhii koval, public news, sumy region. now we will once again try to add vitaliy shabunin, the head, to our broadcast. the management of the anti-corruption center, vitali, i hope that you will be better in communication now, and we will continue the same topic that you started talking about, about various new draft laws, but in fact today i read on your facebook that the verkhovna rada registered the draft law, which removes all time obstacles in the investigation of corruption crime, why is it important and do you think it really matters?

first and foremost we are talking about corruption crimes of medium gravity, which means, it means that if an official was stolen during the war, the law enforcement officers will catch up with him throughout his life, this is not the case now, we have a similar history of war crimes, but not in terms of corruption, this is the best deterrent for corrupt people from the current government, because they clearly understand that if there are no deadlines, then they will be caught, if not this government, then surely some of next, so it's not just about, you know, about justice, which is also very important, it's about prevention, everyone will be afraid, unfortunately, stop the corrupt, fear is better than anything else, do you think there is a chance for such a bill to be accepted by the majority of the supreme council, well, you see, i am a cautious optimist, after all, among the authors is the head of the servants of the people faction, there is the head of the servants of the people party. there is a head of the voice faction, there are several

powerful influential deputies, will there be opposition, what is in the background, or does the law require it, the problem is that the video and sound are constantly hanging, but we heard a lot of important and interesting things from vitaly shabunin, chairman of the board of the anti- corruption center, sorry. friends, this is a live broadcast , it happens, but we will move on and talk again about the situation, which is also international, important for what is happening in the country, the refusal of financial support for ukraine will have ten times worse consequences for the fight against terrorism than the withdrawal of us troops from afghanistan. republican senator lynsey graham expressed this opinion on cbs news. according to him , the weakening of aid will deprive. ukraine, ukraine can expand the war in the world, let's listen to him and then

discuss. if we stop providing aid to ukraine, it will be ten times worse than the withdrawal of troops from afghanistan. termination of funding to ukraine is a death sentence for taiwanese. putin will continue to move forward. republicans who say that ukraine is not important to us, you are wrong. with all due respect, you are wrong, and the war will be bigger, not smaller, if ukraine can defeat russia. is the attitude towards of ukraine, now let's try to find out. and let's add two representatives of different political parties, the united states of america, this is boris pincus, he is a member of the republican party of the usa, mr. boris, i congratulate you, and andrii dobryanskyi, he is a member of the democratic party of the usa, andriy, i also congratulate you and thank you both

for agreeing, agreeing, that is, to join the broadcast , it is already late for us, you, i understand, not so much yet, and let's start with boris, because... we started talking about the republicans, that's right, exactly in regard to that, it is possible for us in ukraine such a stereotype that republicans are more critical of financial aid from the united states to ukraine, is it true, yes, is it a widespread opinion among deputies, congress, in particular republicans, and what do ordinary members of the party think, in different cities, at different territories of the united states. and first of all, i congratulate you, dear, glory to ukraine , this is the question that you raised, it is really, worrisome, it worries us all, especially now, when the question came up in shutdown, and several dozen

republicans rebelled against their own the leader, a great friend of ukraine, kevin mccarthy, the speaker, and he is even getting ready: he will be removed from his post, only because , as you can see, it is necessary to either reduce aid to ukraine, or leave it altogether, this is a very serious question, but i want to concentrate your attention to the main thing, the point is that the aid to ukraine was, is, and will be on a two-party basis , that is the most important thing, and as for the problems that have arisen in the republican party today, they are typical today, on the one hand, there are, of course, patients on head, they are, thank god, and there are not so many of them, here is one of them between the greens, there is such nonsense, there are several of them, they do not play a big role, to be honest, they are not

the main ones in the mainstream, this is very important, despite to the fact that today they are trying to gather their supporters in order to overthrow... kevin mccarthy, i do not think that they will be able to do this, so these are intra-party and inter-party disturbances, which usually happen before the adoption of a new financial law, this is typical for our an american politician, this should not worry the ukrainian people, the more that the general pool, that is the general level of support of america for... graham, they are typical of the mainstream of the republican party, i am not talking about the democrats, there are also extreme leftists, for

ours, let's go at this point, just dondriya dobryanskyi, he is not only a representative of the democratic party, but also a representative of the representatives. in the united states of america, and therefore i am sure that i follow more closely what is happening in the relations between the two countries, although boris must also be given credit, he does a lot of this and comments and says, therefore, mr. andrii, are there really politicians among the democrats who would like to review these relations, in the direction of reducing financial assistance, and is this system really two-party system. party support that boris said is stable now, no, nothing is ever so stable in politics, i will remember our, our americans here forever, that after a century of help for ukraine, for

ukrainians, we have a record in the congress that can support for a decade and then everything will fall away, that's why it is necessary to actively implement it here in america to address our congressmen, i had a meeting yesterday, i will have a meeting tonight, it does n't have to be a full time meeting, but the most important thing is that they understand that we exist here, i can, for example, mention that yesterday evening, and i don't remember who it was, but one congressman wanted to have a conversation about aid to ukraine, and he asked, when he hears from his... advisers or from the bagel, that probably the americans will not support the aid for ukraine for so long , probably the americans will get bored with that, i reminded him that not only... my father

came and became a citizen of america, my grandfather came and became a citizen, my great-grandfather came, that is, ukrainians in america are also americans, we are citizens, we vote, and it is very important not only how we address the congress, but also like others our friends, like those congressmen, think about the americans from the polish from the celebration of the journey, from the jewish, our friends, from others who are very , very sorry, now now, about the situation in ukraine, and this is also the americans, but we will see whether there will be a change , as boris remembered, now now, temporary vote, now now, whether to remove the speaker of our house of representatives, the speakers of the map, and even then, as it looks like it will happen, there will be a temporary speaker and labor will still be involved in the house of representatives, but

it will be interesting how the republicans will remove who then, wants such a job as, as long as a very small minority, as boris mentioned, a very small minority can change the party's mind, you know, what's also interesting is, is russia really not considered by the united states of america, as a potential, it means, representatives various politicians as a potential partner , we talk a lot about the countries of europe, they change in the elections, representatives of various parties come who in one way or another express doubts about the support of ukraine, there is the united states of america, which is the locomotive of support, but it just appeared news from public news that the white house confirmed president biden's call to allies to coordinate with regarding support for ukraine, that is, it is actually also such a strong signal that the united states

continues this support, but russia is influencing on the same countries of europe, on the same other allies, do you think there is russian influence inside the united states of america, boris, this is a question for you, look, i will be extremely objective, the biggest mistake of the biden administration, biden personally, is that he... he constantly reminds us at some interval that the goal of america is not to change the regime, this is a gross mistake, it unties putin's hands, he thinks that yes, i am a security person, they are not going to take away from me throne, i will continue the war in ukraine until exhaustion, that's it this is the biggest mistake, plus to this , look, today you know, the number of republicans who began to hesitate in

providing assistance to ukraine has grown a little, this is serious, it worries me as a republican and a great friend of ukraine, why? i see this as a failure of ukrainian diplomacy, you know, ukrainian diplomats today are focused on working with the democrats, on the one hand, it is the president, a democrat, then the majority of them in the senate, and they are slightly inferior in the lower house, this is not true, it is necessary how to work once in a while equally on a two-charter basis, why? because if we manage, for example , to create so-called ukrainian centers in any american metropolis, that's how israel is, you know why israel is successful, try against israel, vote in any corner, any city. it doesn't matter if you are a democrat or a republican, you will be under colossal criticism, that's why today we have friends

of ukraine, a problem, we have already started, there is good news, we have already found a place in the center of new york, we are working on it, we will open the largest outside ukraine, ukrainian center, this is the first, there is a real minute left , let's give andrew the right to answer too, do you think that ukrainian diplomacy is really making any mistakes now, and what would you advise, perhaps, the head of our country? i think it is very necessary to worry about how they were conducted during the full-scale invasion, when it began, and we can also specifically, let us talk about the 23rd year, and this is that many people are the jury. as you mentioned about the leadership of america, that it will still

gather people in advance, or help the most to convey what we heard this summer, that indeed, when we combine aid from the whole of europe, the numbers are slightly larger from europe now than from america, and this did not happen, because miraculously, it happened, because ukraine itself lobbied, advocated for myself, when we were preparing for the nato summits, we not only, excuse me , ukraine not only left for america to agree on everything, step by step, visit by visit of president zelenskyi. did his advisers, agreed with other countries, about, i, even, how america will fall away from, how, well, what it supports the ukrainians, the ukrainian authorities, and that we would like it to be this other matter right away, but that america now still supports ukraine's membership in nato, andriy, i'm sorry, we have to move on, there are many interesting things, maybe we heard from you,

andriy dobryanskyi, boris pinkus, americans, representatives of various political forces, talked about supporting ukraine, but we have to move

on. i am a russian military ship, i offer to lay down my arms and surrender, a military ship of ukraine, than the glorious ones. the pain will come, let it rise fate, our little bells will go astray, the whole cross country on
