so, please, let's honor them with a moment of silence, remember every civilian and military person who did not live to this day because of russian aggression. let's honor with a moment of silence the memory of the ukrainian military and peaceful citizens of ukraine who died in the war that started it. russia.

my name is oleksandr, 22 years old, from the city of chernihiv, i watch the news, i watch the media, many of my peers are fighting. and i basically sit at home and decided to also go to serve, to help, before that i did not serve in the armed forces of ukraine, preparation 30 days, plus or minus, further on specialty, also plus or minus 40 days, depending on who came to whom, i have two sisters, younger, i also want them to live peacefully and there were no shelling, the bomb shelter did not come down every time during the alarm, calm study. and continued to work, if

they come voluntarily, then the motivation is very high, they try 100%, and they already have a desire to destroy the enemy, on june 6, the russians blew up the kakhovka hydroelectric power station, around 3 a.m. , seismic sensors in ukraine and romania detected signs of powerful explosions, a u.s. reconnaissance satellites recorded signs of heat corresponding to a strong explosion in the area of ​​the kakhovskaya ges dam. after the explosion , water began to flow uncontrollably from the reservoir, washing away everything in its path. the ukrainian ministry of defense reports that 32 people have died, and another 39 are missing. it is not known exactly how many people died in the territories occupied by the russians. in just 15

days, the kakhovsky sea, as the locals called it, milia. this is very clearly visible on satellite images. 18 billion cubic meters of water flowed out of the reservoir, huge spaces that were previously under water were exposed. hes felt the consequences of the detonation in almost the entire south, from zaporizhzhia to odesa. previously, everything here was filled with water, now it is a sandy beach in zaporizhzhia, which you can walk along. about the fact that the water level was much higher. even piers testifies, there is a mark that shows this, and these are the consequences of the russians undermining the kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station, locals in zaporizhzhia claim that the water receded by exactly several meters. how it will harm the ecosystem dnipro, we talked with environmental experts and are ready to share with you. before the catastrophe itself, before this explosion, the maximum level was above the standard mark of about 17 m. therefore, we see that even the trees that were near this,

the beach area, were previously flooded. today, as we can see, the water has receded, large areas have become bare, these areas, these areas were big questions about what will happen to them after the explosion of the kakhovsky gs, whether the dustiness of the territory will increase, or there will be some other negative consequences of opening such new surfaces, but as we see that most of such returns are overgrown today, this is overgrowth itself in most cases, then without the involvement of humans, those plants that are close to the beach area, they have sown their seeds in the majority, and earlier, these seeds fell into the silt that was located, was located on these sandy areas of the kakhov reservoir, the vegetation is different, it is like the inherent inherent types of vegetation, that is... including steppe

grasses, these, trees already, willow , poplar and others, which historically were in these territories, but are invasive. including plants such as ambrosia polonylisna, which also begins to occupy some territory, but we understand that in any case on disturbed lands, first of all, ragweed, as an invasive plant, it first of all tries to take over this territory , but over time, other plants, including steppe grasses, are stronger, they will crowd out this invasive vegetation, tons of dead fish ended up on exposed areas of the bottom of the kakhov sea, previously in kakhovsky meadow. 52 species of fish were caught, well, that is, according to different estimates, they call a different number, some say 48, others 52, let’s say so, among them there is a large number of resident fish, which are not , let’s say, good resident fish, but the main part of the kohol fish store is carp species of fish, primarily bream, carp, bream,

bream and some others, and as for predatory species of fish, mostly zander, catfish, pike and also some others, and as for those species of fish that we may lose, it is worth knowing. what are the main let's say, who was very poor in rare species of fish, red book fish, for example, setter and so on, that is, there were no breeding conditions, that is why such fish species as the silvery carp here had, for the most part, let's say, the best conditions for existence, so to say today, that we will lose some species of fish that would be, let's say , too valuable, let's say, it 's premature, we understand that those areas that were, they are destroyed, yes, because the spawning period is not has come, it will be, it will be in the spring, and, if earlier, fish entered, precisely those floodplains that were there, including near the island of khortytsia, etc., today there are no such floodplains

, the banks and rivers have become bare, where there is almost no vegetation, where fish may or may not grow, so, therefore, water bioresources i will look for... new opportunities, yes, maybe they will partially migrate, the village of maryanske, kryvorizka district of the dnipropetrovsk region, discovered aquatic bioresources, namely crucian carp. according to preliminary estimates of the institute of fisheries, the figure was 100,000 tons, but these are very preliminary figures, because thorough research at the moment, which will cover the entire water area of ​​the kokhov reservoir, is simply impossible to conduct, because, let's say, in some areas. hostilities are taking place, some areas are in the gray zone, and so on some areas only small studies can be done, they will not be indicative and will not, let's say, tell us about the general picture for today. another problem was the supply of drinking water. zaporizhzhia,

dnipropetrovsk, and kherson regions took water from the kakhovsky reservoir. we are we can see that as much as the amount of water in the dnipro river has decreased in general, if kakhovsko vodoskovishche, it was a large amount. for water , for drinking, including water, and into this large container, of this size, water was taken and pumped into the corresponding channels, both for field irrigation and for drinking water supply in the southern half of the zaporizhia region, in addition, into this large container and dumped industrial water, return water, domestic sewage, etc., and due to the fact that the volume of water was still large, it was allowed... in this way these industrial to dilute the return water, today there are risks, the risks that in the event of further ingress, which is happening now, of industrial effluents, storm water, drainage, polluted water, household effluents into the dnipro river, the river will not have enough

resources to self-regulate, to dilute these drains, the decrease in the volume of water in kahovsk has led to the fact that the channels that were requested from the kahovsk reservoir today no longer reach them. for example, this is the p-9 channel, which is now located in the occupied territory, from this channel, they received a lot settlements, which are located in the southern part of the zaporizhzhia region, and therefore today, we understand that there are not so many people there anymore, and there are still other ways of supplying water, including from the remnants of water that remained in this channel p-9, some small reservoirs, but these resources will also be exhausted, and the big question is how to ensure drinking water supply in the southern part of the zaporizhia region after deoccupation. to restore or not to restore the kakhovskaya gez is a difficult question for different experts. if at the beginning some

argued that it is better to give the dnieper its natural course and not restore the gez, now there are many justifications and ideas for its restoration. for that species composition that existed. yes, it will help, it is worth restoring, for the species composition that existed in the dnipro river before the construction of the kakhovskaya hes, then of course it all interferes, but what should be kept in mind here, if. the dam of the kohol river, precisely, if we are talking about fish farming, do not restore those types of fish that are inherent in the river, they are still will not make up a larger share here, why? because the river must have a natural flow, i.e. it overflows in the spring, the water gradually rises, the young multiply and then get bored in the channel, today it is impossible to achieve this, due to the fact that we still have the dnieper hydroelectric dam. and of course, according to the level regimes, the water,

let’s say, descends, according to the affirmative regimes, that is, when it is, let’s say, necessary for a person, whether it is necessary or not, this should be determined by specialists, scientists, and such the works are planned, they will be carried out in the next year or two, but the decision of the cabinet of ministers of ukraine regarding the need for restoration in some form, in which form it will be ... will be determined by those specialists, scientists who will carry out these works research, and we understand that while the war is going on , the restoration will not take place until it is possible to work scientifically to determine the parameters of this new structure, which will partially be possible to regulate the river, but no longer in the form as it was before, and in this way we will know what the water level will be, including in this area in the past of the kokhov reservoir, right? even if there was a normative level of 16, maybe it will be 14 or 15,

well, that is, some other and depending on that, there will be some other er coastline will be determined based on the results of this implementation of this project, and after the project is developed, it will take time to realize it, and after it is realized, it will take time to fill this new cup, a new reservoirs, and it will take more than one or two years, it may take 5-7 years. dear friends, we are back on the air, andriy saichuk and lesya vakulyuk, we are working in this studio for you, and this is the final hour of our first part of today's broadcast, because we will return to the studio at 14 and continue our marathon, and now in our studio there are two beautiful people united by one... a very important matter, oksana mukha, singer and iryna vashchuko, head of the revived soldiers

ukraine fund. welcome to our studio, it's a bit strange how revide soldiers ukraine and oksana mukha, a singer, what does she have to do with this project and what kind of project is it, yes, maybe you can tell irus, and yes, we met a long, long time ago, in the usa, well, how long ago, six years ago, in fact, the war is already going on 9.5 years old. for me, this is already the third part of my life, so fate called with oksana, some of our artists did not receive visas, did not come, but she was already in the usa, and we had a charity evening and oksana agreed to come and perform , and since that moment we have done about 40 charity concerts in all respects we visited the united states of america, mainly all the states where there are ukrainian diasporas, for one purpose, to raise funds for seriously wounded soldiers of ukraine, who were taken for treatment in the usa, to date we

have brought about 85 seriously wounded soldiers, some of whom have already died in this, in a new, full-scale war, on prostheses and after very difficult treatments in the usa, that's exactly how oksanochka and i are, and we've been working for what seems like six years, we've been working very hard, we've managed to... she said somewhere around 6000 dollars together, that's oksana such a powerful speaker, and she unites people, and she unites people, i leave the stage, i already know my script, i can't help but cry in front of our donors, and accordingly in us there are always seriously wounded soldiers as guests, and we have the first rehabilitation center that we opened in rpin four years ago. that's why oksana was one of those, you know, patrons, let's say, yes, thanks to her charity

concerts, we actually managed to do it, and this is according to the american standard, and, the neurorehabilitation center, we take paralyzed soldiers, there on a cart, collared, paralyzed from the chest down, and, they are called carters, and guys who had a stroke or a blow to the head, these are the most difficult cases, i would say, and with the full-scale invasion, we already began to take and orthopedic cases, we separate the soldiers, return them back to the formation for the war. oksana, you speak for the ukrainian diaspora in the united states, and ms. iryna said that you are such a good speaker that you somehow reach the hearts, what you say to them, i never plan what i will say, in i just somehow have such a good connection, probably with god, and through me he tells people

what they need to hear, and usually it's just some moment... an opening for a person, a soul and an awareness of what is not in life everything is so black and white, uh, this, we are talking about support, we are trying to reach people who are at peace, in warmth, who have security, we are trying to explain what is happening in ukraine, we are trying to explain how difficult it is to treat those badly wounded boys here in ukraine, that is, our, our medicine is not ready for this, not ready for that amount. more than 50,000 military personnel who currently need prosthetics, right yura? 58,000, civilians and military , currently need prosthetics, the most difficult ones we take for prosthetics in the usa, this is a double or triple amputation, we started with what ira took away, the foundation took seriously ill patients to america, there they were looking for doctors who helped

them operate, make all the right points before a person can, if possible, be able to stand... on prosthetics, or get a prosthetic arm, uh, after that, they underwent rehabilitation there, and then iryna decided that the same rehabilitation should be done in ukraine, that it is impossible to bring everyone to america, so ukraine should have a wonderful rehabilitation center like the american one, the same in ukraine, and the first center was opened four years ago in irpin, thank god, during the war, moskal is very stupid, he did not get anything out of there, although the apparatus that... brought there is an extremely valuable thing, it is an extremely powerful technique on which the boys undergo rehabilitation, and now such center opens on gorodnyka gorodnytska 9, i keep forgetting, because we have erodny not quite like that, it is twice as powerful, ugh, but because this time to neronytska 9 - which, what

place, it is literally minutes from here, sail lypinsky district, yes and it is twice as powerful a rehabilitation center and i would say it is the best rehabilitation center for neurotrauma in ukraine, and the most important thing is that the rehabilitation is free, we have to emphasize this, the military does not have to pay anything, in irpin iryna gave her house, in which the military lives, too the foundation bought more apartments in which the boys live and are cared for by people who cook them food and help them in everyday life, the same story must happen here, and why are we telling, we need support, because nothing falls from the sky, we do not sing it will be possible for the center to work for years , we need stable people who every month and every year, because it will not end, the center, unfortunately, will work for many, many more years, so we need like-minded people to go step by step with us and supported us financially so that

the center was able to work, everything is already there , the premises are there, the equipment has been brought in, the best doctors have been found, the team has been recruited , the military should start rehabilitating from monday, that is 30 people a day, we need your support, friends, who has a good business, who has the opportunity, i know that everyone is already engaged in one or another brigade now, because the war does not last one day, but in fact this is the moment when the guys have to come back to life, learn to be independent again, at least eat or take a few steps, be able to sit, at least not to lie down. these are very important points, so we ask you to support us, okay, how to contact you correctly, we know that now there are many businesses responsible, recently we talked to one of the fighters who often joins us, and he says, that they have one billionaire constantly coming to the front line, i even understood who he was talking about,

a real dollar ukrainian billionaire, this is the it industry, and personally... he brings something, studies what is needed, this means that the business wants to be inclusive, responsible, this is not those sellers of gas, oil, gas and so on, we understand that, is it metalka for things, for many years, berta of the group, this is oleksandr berezhanskyi, he helps us, with zerpin, but every month he has already held on, i don’t know, this is oksana’s friend and so it happened, unfortunately, my friend, and the taberta group supports us. already for three years, it is very, very cool, we are actually looking for such patrons in ukraine, and we are continuing our work in the usa, because the americans, unfortunately, are a little away from our business, but there are a lot of them we did, we were able to install rehabilitation equipment, i couldn't sleep recently, i counted, we brought in about a million

dollars of rehabilitation equipment, which we practically copied from brooks rehabilitation hospital, this is jacksonville florida, and our rehabilitators actually trained there and we brought them there of our seriously wounded soldiers, but, but the price of having one soldier in brooks rehabilitation hospital and the price of having the entire rehabilitation center in irpin is practically the same, so 30-35 are rehabilitated in irpin soldiers per month, can we take one guy to jacksonville, so it is very, very important to understand such a difference, and plus we must necessarily develop rehabilitation in ukraine, we knew this before the war, it was not such a concept at all, if that concept as rehabilitation, and now we are trying to implement and develop it here at our house, we will continue our conversation, i would like to ask,

actually, how the ukrainian diaspora has lost interest in the ukrainian war, because attention to our war , she is in the world is falling, unfortunately it is, but all this will be after a short break, then we will come back and continue, please stay with us. attention, an incredible novelty from rozpak tv: super warm and very comfortable alaska style boots, perfect fit, water-repellent material and a feeling of warmth even in 30-degree frost. alaska style boots have a universal design and practical black color, so they will suit both men and women. sizes from 36 to 46. therefore , take two pairs at once, for yourself and your husband. side zippers will provide ideal fit even on the widest leg insulation that perfectly retains heat and removes moisture, and the top is made of waterproof and wear-resistant raincoat fabric and reinforced with eco-suede. alaska style boots

abroad, or descendants of those who left earlier, or someone who later left, emigrated from ukraine, is there still interest in ukraine, in the war that is going on here, and it is not known when it will end , well, look, i’m sure that i can answer this question better, because i keep all, all, all the lists of donors, the americans very, very, very strongly supported us last year, and actually, rivay soldiers, we were able to do a lot for the army, order... we spent a million dollars on bulletproof vests, ambulances aid, pick-ups, thermal imaging and so on, and then we gradually moved on to what we did before the full-scale invasion, which is seriously wounded military personnel, and many americans are very worried about us, a lot of people are worried about us, last year accordingly they donated a lot americans, it's not the diaspora, or it's the diaspora

and americans, americans, of our income last year, it was americans directly, ordinary people. for some reason they approach us and constantly apologize for their state, that the state is not so much helps if it was necessary, because there was no obligation and many large american companies such as boin, by the way, boin gave us a grant only this year, not last year. such is the great new york jets football team on. supported in new york, it is actually the owner's family, the woman is ukrainian by origin, so are apple, google, facebook , and so on, bank of america, all, all large corporations supported ukraine, whether they gave to one fund, or something else, it doesn't matter which fund, all the same, these funds all went to the needs of ukraine, and that's it

this year of course. ukrainians are left , mostly ukrainians, now 80% are ukrainians, and, well, americans of ukrainian origin, and 20% are actually left, americans and american big companies that continue to support us, go ahead, i can speak for our fund , yes, and these people have friends, or neighbors, or classmates, or someone they know, and they are in this way about... well, emptying their pockets, transferring these funds, this is also to the front, we are transferring it, and last year and this year, we constantly transfer things to the front, this is primarily, and accordingly, seriously wounded soldiers, to the revised soldiers ukraine, requests come every day, every day, you can't believe how many we have to, we can't bring many soldiers, and if we

bring. as a rule, it is very difficult, which is already so to say, whether the doctors have come to a dead end, or whether prosthetists can not offer anything, these, for example, if we take prosthetics, yes, it is 50-70 dollars, one person, one person, and for us as a volunteer team, i have a very large and good team in the usa, we have about 40 volunteers in all states, and we are usually based in orlando, florida, philadelphia, new york, and chicago. and to these places , as a rule, we bring seriously wounded soldiers, we have already developed contacts with hospitals, and american doctors, my god, they have been there for many years, for 9.5 years, but they have never once refused free help to soldiers, and this as a rule, when we already go and talk to hospitals, for hospitals it's more like, you know, biz, well, it's not a business, but it's money that they will lose if they take hard

soldiers, and we say that each case for american hospitals costs from 2,000 to 3 million dollars, we had such a guy who unfortunately died in yesperal, they fought for him for more than a year, and this is aydarevets, from lutsk, roman was like that , and roman was allocated 3 million dollars, unfortunately, he died there in the hospital, we were transporting the coffin home, there are various cases, various... situations, unfortunately, again, we cannot spend much, so last year we spent a lot brought medical equipment to ukraine, we also brought sonoscanners, these are portable ultrasounds , we distributed them to hospitals, and in lviv we also delivered to one of the city hospitals of lviv, a very nice, portable x-ray, we gave the same one to the kyiv military hospital , which was traveling in the front zone, i am very pleased with it, that the equipment that we invested

in... those many many thousands of dollars yes.
