in the realization of their aspirations, and in fact the result of this uprising was the formation of what we know as the sula republic with its authorities. despite everything, the representatives of transcarpathia did arrive on january 22 in sofia square, where it was announced: from now on , the parts of ukraine that were separated from each other for centuries: galicia, bukovyna, transcarpathia, and trans-dnieper ukraine will merge into one great ukraine, but the cathedral ukraine, which ukrainians have dreamed of for seven years. centuries, about... existed for less than a year, it was attacked from all sides: from the russian side bolsheviks and white guards, on other fronts poles, romanians and the same hungarians. even then it was clear that the ukrainian option, the ukrainian option for transcarpathia, was unsustainable, the transcarpathian ukrainians had to choose the most optimal path for them. at that time , the czechoslovak republic looked the most attractive, it was a young state, progressive, and this state declared its intention. to grant autonomy

to the podkarat rusyns, as they were called as part of the czechoslovak state, accordingly, the local population had a certain incentive to to become part of this state and receive all rights, including civil rights, but this decision was considered temporary until the formation, possibly at some stage , of the ukrainian state. thus began the twenty-year history of transcarpathia as part of czechoslovakia, where ukrainians fared more or less well. they opened their own schools and taught ukrainian. could continue their education in prestigious czechoslovak universities in the then popular areas of philosophy and law, published their books and newspapers, created own cultural and political centers. emigrants, zuner and unr later moved to zakarpattia. however, the czechoslovaks, building the local cities, turned this region into a technologically backward one. africa in the middle of europe. this is how the czech public liked to call transcarpathia. but most importantly, despite the promise.

czechoslovakia was in no hurry to grant him autonomy. slovakia was granted autonomy on october 6, 1938. and the karat elites actually followed the slovak slovak model and demanded the same things that were given to the slovaks. accordingly, october 26, 3008 prague appointed agustin voloshyn, an authoritative leader of the ukrainian movement, as the head of the autonomous government of podkarat russia. suddenly, the life of transcarpathia in czechoslovakia was radically changed by one agreement, which was signed in munich in september 1938 by the prime minister of great britain chamberlain, france daladier, the kingdom of italy mussolini and reich chancellor of the third reich hitler. according to the annexes to the munich agreement, prague was supposed to transfer the southern, southwestern regions, and districts of transcarpathia to hungary.

with the key cities of uzhhorod, mukachevo and bergo, and actually this was such a very heavy blow for the newly formed autonomy, it was decided that khust is the most optimal city for the concentration of all these institutions, and actually after moving to khust, these well-known ukrainian organizations and institutions appeared, in particular the carpathian sich, which became the nucleus of the ukrainian army. since then, the topic of autonomous carpathian ukraine has not left the pages of the world press. during this time in khust the little one. leading correspondents of the american, british, french, german and even japanese editions. front pages about what is happening here were published in the new york times, daily telegraph, and le figaro. just imagine, in french newspapers and magazines during the month, more than three hundred detailed articles were published about the remote province of czechoslovakia. khust attracted the attention of the world not because it was the center of some unique region, no. the international community

was then convinced that hitler supported carpathian ukraine in order to restore cathedral ukraine, and thereby destroy soviet union. true, the union itself did not believe in this scenario, although they could not help but react to the information that was spreading around the world. in march 1939, at the 18th congress of the cpsu, stalin was ironic. of course, it is quite possible that there are madmen in germany who dream of annexation. that is, soviet ukraine to komashka, that is, to the so-called carpathian ukraine. if there really are such fanatics there, one can have no doubt that in our country there will be a sufficient number of straitjackets for such crazy people. hitler then really circled the whole world around his finger, and the leaders of the carpathian ukraine, who were left alone with the hungarian and polish enemies, asked him for protection. how the negotiations ended in berlin. nedokinčeni

je enagija powiido zdororov. in fact, berlin had its own plans, hitler was indifferent to this ukrainian scumbag. on march 12, 1939 , hungary received permission from him to occupy carpathian ukraine. two days later, hungarian troops will begin their offensive. at the same time , slovakia declared its independence, carpathian will do the same after it. ukraine, thanking in a telegram the czech government for 20 years of coexistence. the times are very important, the slovaks have declared their independence. we must do the same today, so we must convene a meeting of the council of ministers, a meeting of the un,

and prepare the first meeting of the diet for tomorrow. mr. prime minister. the man in the video on the left is greek catholic. priest father augustyn voloshyn. the next day, he will become the president of carpathian ukraine from the prime minister. the ambassadors of the diet will vote for him unanimously. these votes belong to dr. augustyn voloshyn. this is where the first ceremony took place meeting of the diet of carpathian ukraine, where everything happened. this is the gymnasium of the gymnasium in khust. and then it was also a high school gymnasium. the government building turned out to be too cramped to accommodate everyone, so a tribune for the first heads of state and seats for deputies were installed in the room where physical education classes are held. but even the gymnasium hall was not able to accommodate all those willing to witness

the fateful moment. meanwhile, battles between the carpathian sichovs were taking place here. and the hungarian army, which was advancing on fust. it there were volunteers who had weak weapons, little military training, and were significantly inferior to the hungarian soldiers in numbers, so the carpathian sich soldiers died significantly more. the count was in the hundreds. and this place was called the red field many years later. but in fact, the carpathian sichovs held the last barricade on the approaches to khust in order to have time to carry out an important business there. proclaim the independence of carpathian ukraine until the moment when its capital is captured by hungarian troops. and the ambassadors of the diet managed to do it. diet of carpathian ukraine declares the full

independence of carpathian ukraine. the state colors of carpathian ukraine are blue-yellow. state coat of arms. the national anthem of the carpathian ukraine, let's not die yet. history may take any course, but one thing is certain, that this is our land, and the ukrainian people will never give it back to anyone. not a single country recognized the newly emerged state at that time, despite the fact that a few months

earlier the whole world was closely following local events. hitler did not respond to the telegrams that he simply sent to him during diet sessions augustyn voloshyn. president of carpathian. ukraine almost begged for help, because the hungarian troops were very close. but it is necessary to understand, to put those events into context: at that time , the leaders of many countries were dealing with hitler. we know that germany at that time was not yet known for any terrible crimes, not even a policy of holocaust or genocide of jews had been formed at all. at that time, it was actually just being formed in the german empire. and austin voloshyn, appealing to hitler when he, when... the declaration of independence, then he relied on the fact that in vienna, in the vienna arbitration, germany actually made commitments or guarantees of the existence of the borders of carpathian ukraine, and the west did not just mock the hungarian occupation of carpathian ukraine, it mocked the disappearance of an entire state from the map of central-eastern europe.

carpathian ukraine survived. another day however , volunteer soldiers competed for it for a long time with professional hungarian soldiers. by declaring their independence, ukrainians demonstrated to the whole world that their land is theirs. not polish, but still ukrainian. at night, after the declaration of independence of carpathian ukraine, its president agustin voloshyn was forced to leave khust. a few years later, he was tracked down in prague. and kidnapped by soviet agents. as a bourgeois nationalist, they were taken to moscow and thrown into

lifortovsky sizo. this is the same pre-trial detention center to which our contemporary, oleg sensov, was sent. from there, father avgostin voloshyn was transferred to the butyr prison hospital. during the week of his stay there, the 71-year-old priest, the president, unable to withstand the interrogations of the chekists, died where he is buried is unknown to this day. i encourage you to watch such documentary materials, because it is important to know our history and to know why this is happening now, with whom we should fight, who should be as far away from us, from our country as possible, and so that our children do not have to fight later, we have... the data from the air force on that night, so five rockets and 60 shachet type bepels were shot down by our

sky defenders that night, in total the russians fired three daggers, one iskander, an iskander k cruise missile and five cruise missiles x101 missiles. there were also 81 mines, we know that 60 of them have already been shot down. at the moment, the alarm map of ukraine looks like this: to the west. in fact, rivne region, khmelnytsky region and zhytomyr region are still red, the alarm is still sounding there, in the center of kyiv region and in kyiv it is calm, the whole east, center and north of our country also still remain in red color, that is, the alarm is still going on there. and we understand that yesterday's attack by the russians, and today's attack, probably also largely caused the fact that we now have huge problems. with our energy system there are many damage, and because of this we currently have very

tight schedules, sometimes even three shifts at the same time, and we will ask our guest ivan plachkov, the minister of fuel and energy of ukraine in 1999 and 2005 and 6, about the situation in the power system, the head of the union, the head of the union council all-ukrainian energy assembly, mr. ivan, glory to ukraine, glory to the heroes, congratulations. health to all usually after such attacks, as yesterday, we heard from minister galushchenko that the situation in the power system is not easy, very complicated. we see the graphs, we received them all yesterday. what are yours? predictions? well, look, indeed, it was one of the most massive attacks on the electricity infrastructure of ukraine, unfortunately, damages. a large amount of equipment at substations, at distribution devices, at

generating capacities, therefore, of course, the goal was to make such a total blockade in ukraine, the goal of the enemy, but it did not succeed, the energy industry is very prompt and professional, they changed the supply schemes. appropriate shutdown in order to save the system, the system is saved, the system is working, but today already started very, very slow started a very large volume of repair work, restoration work, both at substations, on networks, on the distribution devices of power plants, unfortunately, kyivska gas was hit. but there is damaged electrical equipment, now

the scope is being determined, and the necessary scope is to be done, so these works will continue, i think that the restoration will take a week, well, a maximum of two in order to stabilize the situation, if there are no more such attacks, there were rocket attacks today as well. therefore, we need to relate to these with understanding shutdowns and shutdowns are also needed in order to repair. for example, a substation, if a part of the equipment is damaged there, it must be turned off in order to make repairs, so these restrictions will continue, energy workers will do everything possible to minimize these restrictions, but we must understand that

preservation of the energy system is the main thing. the factor of preservation is air defense, and it is necessary to strengthen it, i am sure that the leadership knows about it, it is working, and our partners will help, because we need to prepare for the heating season, we need to pass the next autumn-winter maximum, which will also be very difficult, because questions and problems with heat may arise. supplies, unfortunately, the gas transportation infrastructure has already begun to be hit, and especially if the export of gas through our gas transportation system to europe is stopped from january 1, if the

transportation agreement is not extended, then our gas transportation system, it can be... like this a target for russian drones, for russian missiles, etc there is a lot of work there, energy workers know what to do, and we will work. mr. ivan, we remember that after previous such massive attacks on the energy infrastructure, several weeks were actually needed, several weeks we had these tighter schedules, and now everything was restored, we have had electricity supply for several weeks without interruptions. and here it is again, that is, the approach should be systematic, because repairs will have to be made every time, when they are shelling, and they declare that they will do so, or you you see this way, how to systematically approach the solution of the issue, well, you know, energy experts know how to approach,

distribution network companies are also working, ukrenergo is working, special teams have been created. our european partners, especially the baltic countries, romania, bulgaria, and so on, have helped us seriously with energy equipment , so there are difficulties, there are difficulties, it is clear that even more equipment is needed, especially powerful equipment from transformers, but these are the questions they are working on it, well... it is mostly resolved today, so i repeat once again, here we are based on today, this is my estimate, so it is difficult for me to say, now i do not have complete information about the extent of damage, but my estimate is, here i i i i think that's two weeks at most, well, i repeat again, if there is no

additional guys, we talked earlier last summer about... that maximum protections are being built for energy facilities in order to protect them from potential future strikes, we understand, to build such a huge power plant protection is simply impossible, there was even a concept to move the bykaniv station underground to the trypil station, after the russians destroyed it, do you see such a prospect and expediency, the main thing is how much time it can take the resource. i have already said this many times, unfortunately, it is impossible to protect energy infrastructure objects with constructions, you can partially put some grids there, but if the substation, er, it has somewhere , well, 10 hectares, 15 hectares, it located on such

an area, how can you build a building. of reinforced concrete on 15 hectares in order to protect it, it is, unfortunately, ineffective, the only protective structure that we have made in our time is the confinement above the power unit in chernobyl, then it protects against radiation, from rocket attacks, unfortunately, it cannot protect, so i repeat once again that this is only anti-aircraft defense, it must be strengthened, especially around... nuclear plants, because they will be hit, if not directly on the plant, then they will on networks. then the schedule for the devices that issue electricity from the nuclear plant, well, if it was partially, and we saw

it yesterday, then only air defense should be concentrated and all funding should be directed to the purchase of appropriate air defense systems, and if we are talking about energy, then it is possible to divide it somehow so that it is smaller objects? is it possible now in our conditions? it's impossible, you know, distributed generation, if it's built there, it's a decade, and it, well, well, it's very difficult, energy is a very high-tech industry, and it 's impossible to change the structure of this industry so easily, and there are no such examples in the world, when the generation is distributed here with a small capacity, they are being built. these are high-power units, and this is it for today, well, this is impossible, i would not focus on this, we must

focus on the protection of the existing ones, and those stations, those streams that worked on coal have been partially restored, well, unfortunately, again there were strikes on these power plants, so they too... need to be protected, well, you know, i 'm saying, energy workers, they, they, they, if, they know what needs to be done, you just need them listen and help. and you already mentioned the kyiv gez and the fact that there is no significant damage there, it looks like that at the moment, eh, but the russians are constantly scaring, and many people in ukraine, too, pick up on such moments of panic, about the fact that they can destroy it, yes themselves, as it was with kakhovsky. ges, what is the truth, then we remember that the explosives were planted inside, can rocket strikes be so powerful, and actually, can

they really destroy the kiev gas grid, in the north above kyiv? well, theoretically, you know, everything is possible, well, i don't know which ones these missile strikes must be powerful, but platinum is built in such a way that it cannot be destroyed from the outside. yes, it can be damaged, the equipment can be damaged, and you said correctly, kokhovska, it was an explosive planted inside, there this platinum can only be destroyed from the inside, therefore there is no threat to the kyiv gestures today for the kyiv gestas platinum, and i am sure , that there is anti-aircraft defense there, and therefore i do not consider such a scenario, but... i understand, mr. ivan, and i have another short question regarding grossi's visit to kursk. he decided to visit the kursk as, what

can he do there, what can he want there? look, let's start with what the mht is and why it was created, this is an agency, this is an international agency under the organization of the united nations. there is a corresponding statute, corresponding conditions, corresponding agreements that enable the mht to monitor the situation at facilities, at nuclear facilities, except for military ones, at nuclear power plants, and therefore the mission of magate is very important, and we remember, the mission of magate, how they monitored the zaporizhzhia nuclear plant. status and thanks to experts the mht, we and the world learned that all seven components that ensure the safe

operation of the nuclear facility were violated there, therefore the mission to kursk os is first of all to monitor the situation, and we, i am sure in most cases , receive objective information about the state of affairs at the e. provocation and accuse ukraine of having done it, here are the experts mht they... er, they can, they will do everything possible to objectively show that it will be like that, mr. ivan, as you say, and that actually

there won't be any manipulations here either? thank you for participating in our broadcast, ivan plachkov, in the past the minister of fuel and energy of ukraine and the chairman of the council of the union of the all-ukrainian energy assembly was with us, now i suggest you watch and listen to the story of a young guy who put his homeland above all else: 25 years old and he is a hero of ukraine , because he went to ukraine and poland to fight, and the president has already signed a decree to award him the highest degree of honor of the title of hero and the order of the gold star. study abroad, football, travel and work. ivan chornyi, a native of poltava region, left all this behind when he read the first news about the shelling of ukraine. okhtyrka, she was already bombed there, it is dozens of kilometers from her relatives, and i could not afford to just tell them on the phone, stay there, everything will be fine, even there i did not think about whether to go there or not, i solved all my affairs and collected my belongings and went to ukraine. as and

everyone stood in line at the tsk, and the boy was not accepted immediately, because he had no military service experience at all. subsequently , the dolav of the tro brigade was mobilized, several months of training and protection of facilities, and then redeployment to donetsk region in january 2023 . i was assigned to a reconnaissance, reconnaissance tactical group. we took our battle in the village of paroskovivka against the wagners. the most difficult thing was that i personally worried so much, so as not to be framed for... so that due to my actions, god forbid, someone did not lose their life, but this is what i really worried about, the general fighting spirit and gave us the strength to go through everything with minimal losses, to complete the task, to hold our positions, not to give a single centimeter of our land to the enemy. next, the area of ​​maryinka and avdiyivka, where ivan admits, it was the most difficult to restore the minefield, such a task was set when ivan chornyi was already a member of the engineering company, it had to be done

. under direct fire and in front of the nose of the enemy who was hiding in funnels or behind broken equipment, there was an idea to distract the enemy at the expense of a drone, it all worked out, the guys from aerial reconnaissance distracted him, i managed to jump behind the enemy, one of the nearest fortifications, which was located to us, and waited a little, then destroyed the first group, where... a friend helped me to destroy three of the fourth, ivan adds, about 50 units of equipment came to this landing, part destroyed by our artillery, but the people were exhausted from two days of intense shelling and constant fighting. in the afternoon, we took one russian prisoner, a friend helped me, and even later, when it got dark, according to his information, he told where there were and could be enemies, it was about one, but we went there,

it was 200 meters away. in the field from our positions , and there they captured four more russians. so ivan and his brother oleksandr hunted the so -called black hussars. upon arrival at the headquarters , ivan chorny was greeted by a personal video message from commander-in-chief valery zaluzhny and a message that for this mission the 25-year-old boy would receive the highest state award, the hero of ukraine. on july 15, 2024, the president presented the award to the senior soldier. these are all awards, let's say. you can wear it when everyone the boys will be at home. the end of the war will be when everyone will be at home, and all the territories, absolutely all will be returned, physically, it is very difficult, that is why we need strong diplomacy here, and we have to press diplomatically to return all the territories and absolutely all our boys, all our children , all women who were forcibly removed. ivan the black was offered a transfer to the tenth separate mountain assault brigade edelweiss.

he was trained as an operator. did, but after returning to the combat zone received wound. according to the conclusion of the medical commission , berlin can work in the body parts, but at the moment he does not see himself there. therefore, he is looking for an opportunity to serve closer to his brothers and to be useful to the armed forces of ukraine in the future. anna morozova, bohdan pryskorov from poltava for espresso tv channel. we thank all our defenders for protecting us, and each of us can express our gratitude. at least we support various meetings with a donation. now is the time for news, and khrystyna parobiy and the editors have already prepared the most important and freshest information and ready to share it with all of us. so, khrystyna, i give you the floor and listen carefully. thank you oksana, about the consequences of the combined russian attack this night in various cities of ukraine. i will tell you in a moment, in particular, the details of the shelling of the capital. it just recently ended there.
