a little in other colors, oh, this is the beginning, there will be such a shirt, this is a shirt of the crimean region, this ornament. iryna, a migrant from crimea, shows an embroidered shirt with a pattern from her native ukrainian peninsula, the creation of which she participated in, i miss her because i was born there, how can i not be sad, but i also hope that soon we will return to ukrainian crimea again. in the crimea, i managed a branch of a ukrainian publishing house, after the annexation of the peninsula, she moved to kyiv without work and friends, before the full-scale war, she began to master a new profession, so we begin to enter, what is the size of the embroidery that will be sewn, now iryna works at the social enterprise free thread in vyshhorod near kyiv, where women who suffered from the war,

found themselves in difficult life circumstances and need socialization, learn embroidery for free, and then get a job i have never embroidered at all, but now you can see where i work, because it is in the blood, the genetic code laid in ukrainian women, for this, for embroidery, for needlework, victoria's husband is now at the front, her mother is ill at her reception, embroidery - that's it financial and moral support for her and fellow masters. of course, we reproduce the ornaments of our grandmothers, we reproduce what our grandmothers, our great-grandmothers sewed , we try to find very ancient things, and in them we see that protection, that amulet, that gives us strength, strength, and as she showed war, this, it gives us a sense of our own humility and confident standing on our feet. who found a job thanks to a free

thread want to tell their stories on camera, the founder of the company says: one of the women who worked with them spent more than four years in captivity, larisa, whom we met when she called us at the shelter, after she was exchanged from the prison of the so-called lnpr, but of course she came to kyiv region, just as it was, she came without a family, without... things, without housing, and she had such a long process of getting used to and adapting to new conditions. before the war, an embroidery workshop was planned to be opened in buchi on the basis of a shelter for women who suffered from domestic violence, however after a full-scale attack by russia, its inhabitants were evacuated, they managed to do it before the occupation, after the liberation of kyiv region, the idea was implemented. these two months of occupation, for me personally. it was such

a rethinking, and just in those two months, i wrote a grant for the workshop, and already in the summer we built a modular house on the territory of the shelter. the workshop was moved from buchi to vyshgord. volunteers from the ukrainian diaspora in the usa helped to purchase embroidery equipment. in particular, the humanitarian center at the ukrainian church of st. andrew near washington. volunteers of the center began to give masterful large orders. now in america they still... and sell shirts made by craftswomen with ornaments from all regions of ukraine. for example, this vyshyvanka is from kirovohrad region, this is vyshyvanka from mykolaiv oblast, this is zaporizhzhia, here is, for example, vyshyvanka from kherson oblast, and this is ivano-frankivsk, and here is this vyshyvanka, it was in the greatest demand here, it is a crimean motif. we really like the idea that. this enterprise employs

women with a difficult fate who need to be uplifted children, and we are happy to help them sell their products. the american suzan already has one embroidered dress, and now she ordered a dress with a crimean ornament. it is simply wonderful and symbolic. i don't know the meaning of the symbols, but i understand that these patterns are very ancient and have great meaning. for people, i feel sympathy for ukraine and its people. recently, volunteers from the usa ordered another novelty for the american market. a volunteer of our humanitarian center, she came up with the design of these cuffs, and we presented them for the first time at festival a few weeks ago, and you know, we sold almost all the cufflinks, and the fact that they buy them and show them to their friends and also

tell that it was made by people from ukraine, it adds value in the eyes of other people. along with stories about ukrainian clothes, customers in the usa are told the stories of women, they are made, meanwhile, craftsmen in vyshhor often develop new ideas under alarm signals, recently they also began to cooperate with a local museum, and based on its samples, they create a collection of ancient embroideries with patterns from the kyiv region. iryna shenkarenko, vyacheslav filyushkin, voice of america. and that's the end of it, thank you for watching, voice of america, in ukrainian. see you next week, take care papa. my greetings, you are watching svobodalai, i am daria kudimova, and then we will talk about everything important, as of the evening of friday, november 3. evacuation from kharkiv oblast and escalation of hostilities along the entire front line in the east.

continue, very quickly, it is possible to detect the system, or something, yes, a characteristic sound, the sound is characteristic and it is a three-meter projectile, its relay detects very quickly, the reflective surface is large, yes, that is, in order to... you have to after each shot to change the point, yes, the lancet, literally 2 m from the car did not fall , it was such a day for us, and then we went to the other side closer to the front

, fired mortars, pierced a tank in the car, thank god everyone is alive, in a word, a day was very, and all in one day, and s-300, and lancet and miles, very fun, intense, offensive from the side of the enemy to the side of avdiyivka, today we have. direction, let's say, it's hot, hot, if it's hot for the artillerymen, then you can imagine what it's like for our poor infantrymen, due to the intensity, we are now mainly working to destroy the enemy's batteries or artillery means of some kind of influence on us, we take on our range is 20 km, and it is precisely at this range that the enemy's artillery is located and we are trying to neutralize them so that they do not harm ours, this is

precisely during this offensive, yes, it is in them the third wave was already there, then as the second wave we hit them with bmps, for the third wave we tank , well, if we hit them, it means that we are here for a reason, from the sixth, from the fifth we will not get to vp6. 615, come on, they have a large number of shells, and we are fighting back, so far we are on the defensive, but how many arrived... earlier and how many are arriving now per day on average, the number has increased by at least 10 times of their

shelling, no, i will now, look in the sky, are there no whites, a hurricane, physically it is a little more difficult, but morally it is the same, well we are already used to it, if, well, more, more work per day , let's say it happened, several times, everyone works to achieve a common goal, and rifled artillery, and jet and mortars and everyone works for a common goal, everything that shoots, everything everything shoots, because, well, otherwise, we don't hold them back. volodymyr fit, lieutenant colonel and head of the public relations service of the command of the ground troops, armed forces of ukraine joins the broadcast. mr. volodymyr, my greetings. good evening. glory to ukraine, good evening. glory to heroes. please tell about the situation at the front. actually, where is the greatest aggravation now, and where is the russian army located. in defense, yes, i want to start with the fact that today our comrades from the missile forces and artillery and

engineers are celebrating their professional holiday, i think that in honor of their holiday they will congratulate the russian occupiers today as they should, and now let's return to the front, it means that the lemano-kupin direction remains one of the hottest in our country, the enemy here continues its offensive actions, the goal is clear, the goal is... the encirclement of the city the encirclement and capture of the city of kupins, which was already occupied once, it is an important logistics center through which supplies are carried out, supplies of a set , provisions of the occupying army were carried out, now in this direction the enemy has done in the past day, there were eight combat clashes, aviation was used eight times, drone kamikaze seven times, and combat operations took place near the settlements of ivanivka and synkivka in the kharkiv region. also in this direction

, the enemy began to actively use equipment. over the past day, we managed to destroy it 30 samples of military equipment, including seven tanks and nine armored fighting vehicles. this is quite a large amount of equipment. the enemy here is in addition to the emphasis on human resources. throws equipment into battle in order to achieve his goal. at the moment, there are no strategic successes in this direction, we were preparing for the development of such events , accordingly, when active actions on the part of the enemy began, it was at the beginning of october, we were also ready, we were strengthening, we were strengthening our engineering and structures and we were the very reserves that bakhmot, our troops in bakhmot, let me clarify right away, regarding the kupyan region, because there is an active evacuation there, and in particular, today in kharkiv ova, more than

the evacuation of more than eighty families was reported, but these are the attacks you are talking about , these are point attacks, can we talk about such... the offensive, which was predicted, will begin in early november. the enemy's offensive on this territory, its active actions began at the beginning of october, they had been preparing for three months before that, we saw and followed their preparation, they were raising reserves, they were preparing, and accordingly we knew everything about it, it is now possible that the activity of these actions is increasing, we are ready, we are currently repelling all e attempts of the enemy to advance further, but if there is a danger to the local population, of course evacuation must be carried out . yes, and about bakhmut, please tell me what is happening now under bakhmut? the bakhmut direction is the same, it is a hotline, in general the whole line, the front line, it is quite

active now, bakhmut is not there, therefore an exception, there, the enemy is trying to repulse the lost position, the ukrainian defenders are in active defense, this gives an opportunity at the first opportunity to improve their tactical position, also to go to offensive actions, but in the past day there have been eight attacks, the enemy was repulsed in this direction by our defenders, this is near klishchiivka , andriyivka, the enemy used aviation twice and 16 kamikaze drones were fired at our defenders, 474 shelling, artillery fire was carried out at our positions, nevertheless, 177 russian mercenaries will no longer return to their homes. there was also a successful hunt for enemy equipment, 29 units of military equipment, of which two tanks, guns, from ppo arrow 10 and one zoo station, this is a rare beast on our

territory, but it was also destroyed yesterday, the situation is tense, but our guys, i emphasize, they are in active defense and at the best opportunity immediately go to offensive actions, although the enemy is also strengthening, the enemy is pulling up reserves and trying to restore its losses and lost positions, at the moment nothing is working out. mr. volodymyr, well, right now, active attention is still focused the last days before avdiyivka, because they are talking about possible intentions to storm koksakhim there, do the events under avdiyvka around avdiyvka have an effect... on the events behind on the front east there further right to bakhmu lyman kupiansky events about avdiivka my colleague colonel oleksandr shtopun to you will tell in more detail, and about whether the events are related, in general, the entire front line has now come to life, because we know that there will be elections in russia the day before and they need any

victories, even if they are small, minimal, but presented as a victory and explain why already more than 3,000 soldiers from russia will never return home and many of them will never even be buried properly, as their bodies are still lying in the temporarily occupied territories. it is with this effort to show at least any victories that you associate this activation along the entire line of the eastern front, because everyone's previous forecasts agreed that the kremlin would concentrate its efforts specifically in the south, including the zaporizhzhia direction, our main task not to prevent, static, because the enemy wants to stop us, so that we go into such a static state of hostilities. our main goal now is to move and, as far as possible, repel the enemy, from

his position, in general, we understand that the minimum, the minimum task is, once again, the task was set to reach the administrative borders of donetsk and luhansk regions, this is the minimum task , the maximum task we remember was kyiv in three days, with which they successfully advanced in the kyiv region. volodymyr, finally, i want to clarify, you said that everyone events at the front are interconnected, now many draw parallels between bakhmut ovdiivka, referring to the semi-encirclement of these meaty assaults of the russian army, how appropriate such parallels are. in your opinion, the introduction of hostilities is, you can't equate them or somehow draw parallels, it's a different scenario every time, different conditions every time. now we see that our military personnel near bakhmut have certain successes and we have such hope that bakhmut will soon be reoccupied, like the entire territory

luhansk and donetsk regions. heard, thank you very much for joining the broadcast, volodymyr fityo, lieutenant colonel, head of the public relations service of the ground forces command, was in direct contact with us. thank you. well, the guest of our studio today is pavlo kazarin, a serviceman of the armed forces of ukraine and a journalist. our colleague, pavle, hello, good evening, congratulations, well, well, i suggest starting with the article by zaluzhny, which has been talked about a lot lately, because many say that it has become cold shower, they say for some, it is unlikely to become a cold shower for military personnel, but nevertheless, here is this positional war, static exhausting battles that the general speaks of, does it really feel like this at the front, that the war has entered another stage, well i think here it is worth mentioning that, first of all, the audience of this article is probably the event, the collective event, the decision-making elites, and i think we all

agree that the weapons that ukraine receives are definitely us we are grateful for it, but it comes with such a noticeable delay, we remember how at the beginning of the war we were supplied with weapons only for partisan units, probably because no one in the west believed that the institutional ukrainian army would withstand... the russian onslaught, then, and only at the end of spring, we began to receive the first artillery there , and even the f16, which we are talking about throughout the entire 23rd year , we get only in the 24th year, and the time for wars, in the war is definitely also a resource, and the time that russia will receive as a result of the fact that the ukrainian army is artificially limited in its own actions, this is definitely the resource that plays on our enemy and i think that i was reading this article in the original, in english, i think that it was in particular an attempt to remind the west that, first of all, their ideas about how

the conflict takes place, in the war in modern conditions, they slightly distorted, and secondly, to remind that here it is, the west must decide what result it wants, and to wear down ukraine because it will be in a positional war with ukraine, or in the end to give ukraine a chance to win, and it seems to me that this is a bit including and a message for the political will in the west about the fact that you need to decide on your priorities in the end, and certainly for our audience, for the ukrainian audience, this is this text, it also became a certain return to reality, we and you we remember that at the end of february, at the beginning of march last year, and even there in april, in may, ukrainian society was ready to consider as a victory the exit to the borders , relatively speaking, on february 23, then in the second half

of the 22nd year, when the telethon began and everything another thing, well, very quickly we passed this way to the point that victory is only the border of 1991, but even then we talked a lot with friends, colleagues, and brothers, that a person who probably watches only and exclusively the telethon, in she has a feeling that the ukrainian army is already winning, and why should he come on as a substitute in that match in which his favorite football team is already defeating the enemy, and it seems to me that if we are preparing for a sprint, for such a sprint distance, it's very dangerous when we have a marathon ahead of us, well i think that there was a lot of talk about it, that at... it was already realized at the banks and in particular society , it is self-evident, because trust in the telethon, as shown by the latest polls , has significantly decreased, fewer people trust, but less so, about these sentiments , the

impasse that general zaluzhnyi talks about, is it clear to the military front where there is a way out of it? given that it has come a long way and an incredible price has been paid during this time? well, war is the three main resources in war, this is money. it is a weapon and it is human capital, and some of these things we get, certainly from our western allies, like the finances to maintain social benefits there and everything else, it's weapons, thanks to which, in particular, thanks to which we can continue to fight, the only resource that we cannot providing the solution is human capital, and the only people who are capable of de-occupying ukrainian territories live in ukraine. and um, i think that's what you know, it's sometimes, sometimes, it really looks, from

a military point of view, a little weird when, for example, they give atakams there, but it is limited in its range of use there to 160 km, because the western capital, they are very afraid of conditional escalation, they are afraid that western weapons will be used on the constitutional territory of the russian federation, but this is western optics. when we look at what is happening on the battlefield from the point of view, with the eyes of, let's say, the collective kremlin, the hostilities that are taking place are already taking place on the constitutional territory. the russian federation, even after it annexed four regions of ukraine, in addition to annexed in the 14th year of crimea, and if , for example, atakams flies to luhansk or berdyansk, then from the point of view of russian constitutional law, it is the same as if he allegedly flew to the airfield near st. petersburg. and in this sense, these

artificial restrictions, which the ukrainian army receives again and again together with certain samples of western weapons, it seems to me, can be perceived, including in russia, as a manifestation of the weakness of the west, and a manifestation of its indecision, and this is sometimes very probably annoys those ukrainian generals who are then forced to use this weapon with such restrictions, if you go back to the article of zaluzhnogo, among the five priorities, it is the fifth. increasing resources, increasing reserves , and we are talking about improving the register of conscripts, about combat training, but of course, we also talk a lot about increasing reserves in the context of mobilization, there are certain institutions from western partners, there is a certain request from the military personnel themselves from the point of view from the point of view of social justice, the need for rotation, and without which there are almost two

years at the front, those organizational moments that general zaluzhnyi writes about, whether they will save the situation, whether we need to reduce the conscription age and increase mobilization, although it is no secret that they are not very popular, but such calls are now in society, well, we are just this has already been touched on, this is the story that the only people capable of retaking ukrainian territories are the people who live in ukraine, and i think that definitely one of the problems that i see is the story that the military or tsk isp, but it is easier to say warlords, they are for a long time were such a kingdom of paper, i remember we were already in bakhmuk in february, and on the 23rd of the year, and on the way there they called me with the military from kyiv and said they were inviting me to check documents, i told them, so you well, i've been in the army since february 25, you issued me a military card on may 22, and you still don't know that i'm in the army , and at this moment you understand

how far from... perfect that base is data, the registry that is used today, so the story is that let's replace everyone military commissions for real combat officers, if a person with zero tolerance for corruption joins the army, but does not receive a tool, for example, there are electronic database systems and so on, and so on and so on, otherwise he will not be able to do anything, that is the same story about the fact that no one has passed once every five years. to the mandatory medical commission, not everyone was registered, there were many ways to give a bribe in order to lose that personal case, and certainly the restrictions that we had until now, that there is a very high conscription age, a second higher education, how does it make it possible not to ignore subpoenas, and a huge number of medical restrictions like that to serve

in the army, all this is not... a story for a full-scale war, not a story for a great continental war, because we already understand, most of the wars around the world that have been fought in the last 75 years have been a story of a cadre army fighting guerillas, vietnam, afghanistan, another afghanistan already involving the united states, iraq and so on and so forth and the last war when introduced by two institutional, personnel military mechanisms, this is the iran-iraq war, 81-86. year and all these stories about let's go there, or only those born for war will serve in the army, or let's make a lot of restrictions so that people stay in the rear, it all works great, in war conditions, limited in intensity, but everything it doesn't work during a full-scale war , we all saw the massacre, and we, it's very simple arithmetic, where there is a ukrainian flag, there are no concentration camps, where russian

flags start, there are concentration camps. and the state should simply...'
