will say that our cultural diplomacy is working. do you remember when a russian missile hit the kharkiv printing house factor druk in may. there was a lot of attention to this event, and ukrainians put a lot of effort into the restoration of this printing house, and, well, especially now, when our reading and books in general, literature have reached a new level, and it has become very popular to speak. pro-ukrainian writers, read ukrainian books, discuss them, that's why the idea immediately arose that some of these burned or half-burned, burned books, i don't know what it's called, need to be transferred somewhere abroad, to make some exhibitions, because many foreign audiences, especially from countries that care about their culture, namely france or britain, they are very are horrified, and they are greatly influenced by this very cultural genocide that russia is destroying. what are really interesting sights and

architecture and everything related to culture, and this has a great effect on them, emotionally, and we should use it in our cultural diplomacy, in fact, when this idea of ​​taking these books to various exhibitions began, you see, there have already been several such cases at various events, and now the ukrainian institute has sent a part of these books from the vivat publishing house to cambridge university. here they are there, now we have shown them, they are also there, i think that they can be considered, but this is a very good good action in such a pragmatic sense, and i think that it is not surprising that ukrainskyi did it institute, because it is one of the most effective, we have it now, the most effective such a state institution that deals with culture, because, unfortunately, the rest of our state institutions, beginning with the mines of cult, will end. whether the state cinema is constantly exposed to

traitors who went to serve the rashi occupiers at the call of their hearts and wallets. in today's issue, we will talk about sellers from the occupied part of zaporizhzhia, about those who think that our justice is ours. will not reach them. she was a ukrainian actress, but became a russian pseudo-mayor. we work for the benefit of the population, to help people who live in the territories that suffer from shelling from the ukrainian side. this is romanichenko, nataliya oleksandrivna, born in 1993, a native of the city of vasylivka in zaporizhzhia. until february 24, 2022, she was theater and film actress, took part in the play like at home with ada rogovtseva and pasha lee. in addition to acting, natalya had a production children's center bee wow, where she taught children theater skills, modeling and the basics of journalism. in addition , romannichenko was the owner of the company tof-garant in vasylivka, which was engaged

in maintenance and repair of motor vehicles. children to be able to express themselves in work. they had comprehensive development. they were developed, for example, if necessary. dance, they could to dance but with the arrival of the occupiers in zaporizhzhia, natalia decided to radically change her life. now she is playing pseudo-politician. i am taking on the temporary duties of the head of the vasylivska administration. i am sure that together with the fraternal russian people we will be able to establish a peaceful life. romannichenko returned to her hometown and began to actively cooperate with the rashists in several directions. the first is direct help to the russians. the soldier initially offered the occupiers the services of her service station, she set it up repair and painting of military equipment of the russian federation, and also provided the supply of spare parts. on each repaired russian car was the symbol of the rashists, the letter z. romannichenko ensured the supply

of construction equipment, with the help of which the occupiers created fortifications to counter the armed forces. at the same time, the collaborator did not forget about campaigning in favor of ms. she called on the locals to help the so -called brotherly russian people in every possible way, spread anti-ukrainian propaganda about the bloody war, which she allegedly started ukraine. in general, she proved her loyalty to the kremlin dictator in order to later receive her bloody dividends, namely the chair of the so -called mayor of the city of vasylivka, zaporizhzhia region. we, the residents of the liberated territories of the zaporizhzhia region, see the difference, we see improvement. quality of life, we see all the benefits that the russian federation provides, we are full-fledged territories of the russian federation, and this is all thanks to our president. as an illegal karmanych, natalya rossifies the city in every possible way, calls for obtaining russian passports,

glorifies the army of the russian federation and putin and continues to carry humanitarian aid to the zagardniks to the front. the united russia party organized a humanitarian action in support of our military. employees, she explains all her activities in the telegram channel called on the same wave with head romanichenko. the poverty of the channel is emphasized by the russian symbols b and z in the name. but stay for a long time. romanichenko did not go unnoticed by our law enforcement agencies. at first, she was suspected, and later on july 28, 2022, the sbu submitted an indictment to the court against this traitor. i apologize to everyone for everything what is my fault already in august 2023 , the ukrainian court found her guilty and sentenced her to 15 years in prison with confiscation of all property. so far in absentia, but who knows, maybe this one will be soon. borodenka will apologize while sitting in a ukrainian cell. our next anti-hero is

dmytro oleksandrovich kucharkov, he is 41 and comes from melitopol. in this video , he tells in the national language how he saves the lives of ukrainians in extreme situations. in extreme situations, it is very difficult to explain to the person i am saving there to step away from... but already for in a few years it will change its form and switch to the russian one to serve the occupying power. by order of the governor, we tour the settlements. before becoming a collaborator, from 2006 to 2021, kucharko worked as the head of the melitopol district administration of the state emergency service of ukraine in the zaporizhzhia region. valuable experience and good knowledge. renters, people who know a lot about the problem, will provide it. with

the occupation of melitopol, kucherkov did not leave the territory controlled by ukraine and continued to work in the emergency services only in russia, he became the head of the so-called ministry of emergency situations there. we responded to the message we received that pensioners aged 46 and 52. lost their house after shelling. the traitor urged people to cooperate with the so-called new leadership and, as the fake head of the ministry of emergency situations of russia in the zaporizhzhia region, persuaded locals to go work for the newly created body, promising good privileges from the occupiers. in 2023, the sbi announced that kherkin was suspected of treason, so don't forget the ukrainian language, dmytro, you still to listen to the court verdict and repent to solovyna. and finally, i will tell you about the major general of the sbu during yanukovych's time, who is now in charge of

the russian military forces in zaporozhye. serhii valentinovych gandzha, born in 1959 , hails from the kirovohrad region. he started his career in ganja organs in 1986. he was deputy head of the sbu department in dnipropetrovsk and kyiv regions and deputy mayor of dnipropetrovsk. in 2012, he received the post of authorized president of ukraine. on matters of control over the activities of the security service of ukraine and truly his nature ganja demonstrated during the maidan during the presidency of viktor yanukovych. in the 13th year , ganja was appointed to head the department of protection of national statehood of the sbu. at that time, i was in charge of the department for the protection of national statehood and every morning i heard everyone who spoke, who gave commands, where the leaders of the maidan met. how they then went to yanukovych. during the revolution of dignity , general ganja was present. led the violent dispersal of the maidan, and according to one version, it was he who gave the order to shoot at

the protesters as part of the sbu operation boomerang, which was aimed at seizing the house of unions, as well as further clearing the maidan. on february 26, 2014, ganja was released and declared wanted on suspicion of treason. and while our law enforcement agencies were waiting for him in ukraine, he hid in the swamps, and after february 24 , 2022, he went to the temporarily occupied territories of ukraine. in january 2023, the rashists appointed him the head of the so-called state security service of the zaporozhye region. and already in 2024, he received a suspicion of collaborative activity. according to law enforcement officers, ganja is involved in the organization of mass repressions against civilians, their kidnapping and sending to russian torture camps. already on ganja. they have been waiting behind bars for a long time, but who knows, maybe before he gets to our prison, the ganja

himself will end up in russian torture chambers. we all know well how the kremlin treats those who are no longer needed. this was the collaborators program and i, olena kononenko, if you want to tell us about the kremlin progenitors, write to this e-mail address or simply in facebook, together we will send all the traitors after the russian ship. see you in a week on espresso. oh, i remember. you see, although they say that our memory weakens over the years, i am attentive and remember everything. we take the memo effect from dr. tice and feel the difference. the active substances of memo effect improve the functioning of the nervous system and contribute to the normalization of mental activity. memo effect from dr. ty improves memory and attention, helps to think. there are 15% discounts on children's strength pills until independence day

about the weather for this weekend, as well as the distinguished guests of the studio, mustafa dzhemilov, the leader of the crimean tatar people. we are in touch, mr. mustafa, i congratulate you, good day, events of the day in two hours, vasyl zima's big broadcast, a project for intelligent and caring people, in the evening for espresso. the situation will begin to play against us, the defense dominates the offense, and as a result the challenge to carry out offensive operations not only for us, but also for the russians, shot, we now have the task of stabilizing the front line completely, so that russia does not even have the potential to carry out any local offensive actions. somewhere we had an advantage, somewhere the russians had an advantage. now we see that the russians have adapted to the use of certain types of western weapons, somewhere they have reduced the effectiveness of western weapons to almost zero, we learn from each other, and since russia has access to technology, this significantly speeds up the path to adaptation, this is a phenomenal

success story , a success story at sea. russia is losing more than it has time to restore. you can watch it, for example main battle tanks. the soviet heritage of the russian federation will be enough for another year and a half or two of active hostilities. the main thing is to get to that point again, while maintaining internal unity, this, in my opinion, is now an even bigger challenge than holding the front line. do you think there is a possibility that the defense forces. offensive operations will be conducted in one form or another this year, this conflict between what is expected of us and what we can, i understand, this is the main task for us, i will tell you more, this is understood by the people who make the decisions, that is, i can’t say who i got such an impression from, but people understand all these dilemmas, i congratulate the viewers of donbas reality,

this time we have a conversation with... the chief consultant of the national institute of strategic studies and a senior analyst of the povarnys zhivym charity fund. congratulations mykola. good day it is now more than half way through year 24, as it approached, as it began, there was much talk that it was going to be a very difficult year for the defense forces of ukraine. can you tell whether the most difficult point in the defensive operation has been passed. which is ongoing, if we are talking about this year's campaign, then yes, when we talked about it about expectations, then the consensus forecast was that the defense forces of ukraine will conduct a strategic defense operation again, this is really happening. from the point of view of threats and risks, after the adoption of the relevant aid package by the united states of america, its unblocking and the fact that systematic deliveries of this

aid package have begun, then a window of opportunity for russia to carry out large-scale offensive actions, it really began to close, and actually the fact that the russians began even this offensive operation, an attempt to conduct an offensive to the north, northeast of kharkiv on may 10, and not at the end of may, at the beginning of june, it showed that even russians understand it. means, those capabilities that will allow to carry out a successful, more or less strategic defense operation, so yes, at the moment, we can talk about this year with relative confidence from the point of view of the performance of defense tasks, you probably had in i have some ideas in my head about where the dividing line might lie. in the 24th, again, given the things that the armed forces were experiencing, in particular the lack of ammunition and the lack of men, did those hopes come true or did they not

come true in which way, well, actually, if i think about it, those are all the ones we had , for example, since the beginning of this year, that is, the lack of ammunition in the context of ongoing discussions in the congress, whether to provide or not to provide, if you all entered a certain mathematical model, i think that math... the model would show a completely different reality and reality are not in favor of the defense forces of ukraine, that is, the model would most likely show that under the conditions of the fact that in certain areas of the front, the enemy's advantage in firepower was not even one to 10, they even say one out of 20, and even such numbers, in fact, if we are talking, this mathematical model showed that the front line should have been somewhere west or north of where it is now, so we can say that the strength of the defense of ukraine... especially this difficult period from january to april, in fact the first four months, they demonstrated the impossible, because under those conditions, given those data, the front line

could easily be somewhere further than where it is today, so that is how we were naturally forced to withdraw, there were certain losses , but with the powers and means that we had at our disposal, any mathematical model like that would, i think, show much... worse results than where we are today. well, now actually, if you look at the map, there is a lot gradual, but withdrawal of force defense of ukraine. when you write about russia's war with ukraine, you often make references to previous wars, in particular, you compare it with the first world war, if in fact, again, to look for an analogy with what is happening in ukraine now, then what period is it, or if it is not the first world war , maybe is it the second or other conflicts, or do you see historical parallels? well, actually, we have to make a certain digression here. in general, unfortunately, such a situation is observed in ukraine, and with a certain historical approach,

that is, people, in my opinion, mistakenly believe that previous history, it is completely irrelevant, it cannot be useful, that is , such a thesis is observed, i have even personally met it often, that we have nothing to learn, it was a long time ago, there were other circumstances, i consider this example to be wrong and the principle to be wrong, regarding using an analogy from the first world war, the task of history is precisely to study strategy, to formulate a strategy, not to make any analogies, that is, what year is it there, for example, the task of history, the use of history in the development of the implementation of strategy here and now is to understand certain, perhaps dilemmas, problems that may be facing us, and in this context, indeed, the first world war, it is interesting, it is one that we can use, and for a number of reasons, well, for example, we now face a real dilemma, we have a certain number of men, in fact, who in principle

can be directed to different things, that is, we have to balance war, we have to balance the war economy and the peace economy, that is, the dilemma of how to distribute the limited human resource how to find the right balance, because you have to look for exactly the balance, and not think that only one direction should be... the absolute priority, in fact, so this is one of those examples that we could, for example, based on the first world war, and understanding , that the war is dragging on, that is to come to the fact that there will be this dilemma for a certain time and already think in advance how to define it, another example that we can in principle use from the first world war, the first world war showed well that it is important not only what happens on the front, but also what is happening in the rear, and the situation in... that is, the preservation of unity, the preservation of a certain social cohesion, this is also very important, because as we remember, the first world war ended

in defeat for many countries precisely because that... that internal unity, it was actually put into question, so the value of the first world war and the various dilemmas of the lessons of this war is not to understand what year it is, but to understand what dilemmas we may face and take this into account during development of our already great strategy, as in the times of previous wars, in particular the first world war, is there now a search for a way out of this stage of positionality? first of all, due to drones and their multifunctionality , some new areas of application of these technologies are constantly appearing, is there an understanding of how quickly the next technological step is taking place, because the military themselves say that it has accelerated compared to what happened before. if we talk about adaptation, then the speed of adaptation has really accelerated significantly, relatively

specific ones... here are some examples, well, here , in my opinion, it is better that these or other combat teams speak, and i remember one of the last interviews of kombat k2, veres, he already said nicely there, how the adaptation cycle has been accelerated from a few months to a month, maybe even weeks, respectively, in terms of overcoming the problem of positionality, well, the first thing i wanted to emphasize is that we now have a slightly different task, we now have the task of stabilizing the front line completely so that russia does not have the potential even conduct some local offensive actions, and this is... important, because it is not only our territories, not only our people, but it is also important from a political point of view, because now the russian military-political leadership, if we are guided by his statements, it proceeds from the assumption that it can move the front line further, that is, there is no basis for any real negotiations, let's say this, that is, our main task now is the stabilization of the front line, overcoming positionality is the next task, and this is the task that we must don't think too much

only... there tactically, operationally, technically, but also strategically, because we see that our partners, unfortunately, they formulate the theory of victory somewhat differently than we formulate it, we can take the example of the united states of america, this administration , which is, this administration has never, i repeat, never once framed the theory of the victory of ukraine in such a way that it is about returning all territories and conducting a cascade of offensive operations there, they talk with... always that the victory of ukraine, and as a result of those countries that support will namely the preservation of ukraine as a sovereign state, a democracy, a functioning state, ensuring its development, economic, social and guaranteeing the effect of deterrence, that is, you will not find this in any statement, and the problem is that we are given resources for this very theory of victory, that is , no one is talking about creating a significant advantage over the russians there, therefore, along with

technical, tactical... calculations, problems, there is another strategic problem, the fact that our partners look at it somewhat differently, this is the first moment, the second moment, you mentioned the cycle of adaptation, and here we can go back to the first world war again, and that's exactly what the difference is, one of the main problems of this war is that both, both sides are adversaries, they have access to the appropriate technologies, that is, there is no the situation that existed, for example, in the first world war, when on the one hand there was the entente, which had access to technology corresponding to the resources, on the other hand there were central powers that were under blockade, we see that sanctions do not work to the extent that as it was wanted, and russia has access to of technologies from the countries of asia, or there, in fact , through the appropriate channels, bypassing sanctions there through turkey, through the countries of the caucasus, through the countries of central asia, that is, this is exactly the difference here, and as a result we have a situation where both countries have resources, access to

technologies, have defense . industrial complexes, and as a result, in fact, they constantly support these cycles, and neither side has yet demonstrated the ability to create a total technological advantage there, an advantage in the use of appropriate forces and means, as a result, defense dominates offensive, and as a result a challenge to carry out offensive operations not only for us, but also for the russians, we see what is happening now, that is why such a situation can happen, based on those that are not a hundred years old. even after a year and a half, it will not be possible to create such an advantage in order to plan and conduct relevant operations, but this is the next stage, now our stage, i repeat, it is a strategic defense operation, active defense on the ground, pinpoint strikes on the military infrastructure of russia in the temporarily occupied crimea and actually in russian territories, in order to bring the russians to at least...
